Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have given an insight into their long-term ambitions for Welsh soccer team Wrexham. The Hollywood pair say they want to see the capacity of its Racecourse Ground stadium increase massively to potentially 55,000. The actors have already transformed the fortunes of the historic but down-on-its-luck club through their $2.5 million takeover in 2021 and the fly-on-the-wall documentary series “Welcome to Wrexham” that is streamed around the world. Wrexham will play in the third tier of English soccer next season after back-to-back promotions and Reynolds and McElhenney’s ambitions don’t end there.
