Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively fly in for Wrexham promotion party ahead of huge game
Wrexham could clinch promotion to the Championship if results go their way on Saturday and the club’s famous co-owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, are in town
Wrexham supremo Ryan Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, are among those who have jetted in for the penultimate match of the League One season with a third consecutive promotion on the cards.
Phil Parkinson’s side are second in the table going into Saturday’s seismic showdown with fourth-placed Charlton Athletic. And a victory could be enough to seal promotion to the Championship if Wycombe Wanderers fail to beat Leyton Orient in the afternoon’s early kick-off at Brisbane Road.
Wrexham have already climbed from non-league to the third tier in successive seasons under the stewardship of Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who has been in Wales for the past few days.
And it now seems as though Reynolds and Lively have joined him, according to Wales Online. Lively’s most recent post on Instagram shows the couple in front of a Wrexham badge with the caption: “Let’s go boys @wrexham_afc.”
Reynolds and McElhenney have won plenty of plaudits for the role they’ve played in Wrexham’s renaissance since their takeover in 2021.
The former quipped that the stress of a potential third consecutive promotion had given him a stomach ulcer earlier this week at the TIME100 Summit, saying: “I have, literally, like an eight-inch ulcer in my stomach right now because it’s the end of the season.
