Hollywood-owned Wrexham Secures Promotion to League One with Commanding 6-0 Victory
In a stunning display of dominance, Wrexham, owned by Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, secured their second successive promotion with a resounding 6-0 victory over Forest Green on Saturday. This victory guarantees the Welsh club a spot in League One next season after a 15-year absence from the English Football League.
Since taking over the unheralded Wrexham in 2021, McElhenney and Reynolds have invested in the team, leading them back into the EFL and bringing global recognition through a Disney television documentary series. Their growing fame in the United States allowed Wrexham to embark on a pre-season tour of North America, playing against the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United.
Despite financial challenges, with the club owing the owners £9 million after a £5 million loss last year, Wrexham fans had reason to celebrate as their team put on a spectacular performance against Forest Green. Elliot Lee, Paul Mullin, Ryan Inniss (own goal), Ryan Barnett, and Jack Marriott all found the back of the net in a convincing win.
The victory not only secures Wrexham’s place in League One but also puts Forest Green at risk of dropping out of the Football League. The Hollywood-owned club’s success story continues to captivate fans and onlookers alike, as they make their mark in the world of English football.
