Since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over Wrexham AFC, the team has had a resurgence. The team is now sitting at the top of the National League, four points ahead of the second position. Wrexham is in a good position to be promoted to the fourth division if they can maintain their position.

Wrexham surely is the fan favorite, and the support is evident. The Welsh club recently also received word of support from Hollywood actress Kaitlin Olson, who is also the wife of Wrexham owner, Rob McElhenney.

Kaitlin Olson’s words of support for Wrexham

In promotion of her new movie ‘Champions’, Olson appeared with the cast of the film to send a message of support to Wrexham. “Let’s go Wrexham!” Olson yelled with full enthusiasm. Her fellow ‘Champions’ actor Madison Tevlin added, “You’re the champions, whether you win or lose”.

To which Olson replied, “that’s very sweet but let’s go and win this f*cking league,” before going all in with her “Go Wrexham!” shout. It is clear that Olson is fully behind the soccer club and their quest to win the National League title. This is something that would see them promoted to the fourth division of English soccer, which they haven’t done in fifteen years.

Last year they came close to second but failed to take the crown. However, this year, with the team sitting in a great position, it looks like they could very well make the Hollywood actress proud.
