Hollywood stars calling shots in WalesOpened up a window to the worldNot everybody is on the bandwagonWHAT HAPPENED?

A number of famous faces were drafted in to help with that project – including McElhenney’s wife Kaitlin Olson – and it has figured in the award-winning documentary series that lifts the lid on a special sporting project in North Wales.
WHAT MCELHENNEY SAID
There are clearly some in the United Kingdom that are not aboard the Wrexham bandwagon, with one game show player making a hash of trying to say “McElhenney” – leading the man himself to post on social media: “Rob McElenineOrWhateverHisNameisRyanReynolds is on my birth certificate, so technically she’s correct.”
WHAT NEXT FOR WREXHAM?
Reynolds and McElhenney will continue to spread the word of Wrexham far and wide – after overseeing back-to-back promotions in North Wales – and are currently in the process of piecing together more transfer plans with Phil Parkinson ahead of a collective step up into League One.
