Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have successfully managed to win Wales. The two Hollywood celebrities are not just funny and entertaining, but also talented entrepreneurs. Against all odds, the duo decided to invest in a team that had lost its real glory. With a £2 million investment, they decided to bring the club back to its glory one step at a time. But it was not just about marketing and PR skills. Connecting with the team players, the fans, and the locals was an important factor.
The comedian showed his appreciation by posting a Welsh stadium photo on his Twitter. A young boy in a jersey can be seen playing on the field. McElhenney captioned it with a son asking his father if this is what heaven is like. “No, son. It’s Wales,” replies the father. The heartfelt post already received a lot of attention, but Reynolds only took it up a notch by re-tweeting it for his audience.

“This is my favorite tweet ever,” added Reynolds to the Tweet. The two often visit the matches and participate directly in any activity related to their Wrexham AFC club. Despite being outsiders, it did not take them too long to get accustomed to the ways of life as they keep thanking the people of Wales for their support.
Agreeing with Reynold’s praise and excitement were Wrexham fans in the comments. Here is what they had to say.

Within a span of a few years, Wrexham became a household name not just within the Welsh circle, but internationally as well. Fans are joining in to pour their love for the team.
Wrexham’s stakeholder John Driffield referred to the 29th April match between Wrexham and Torquay United, stating how the tweet about the team’s win will be even better.
It won’t be as good as the one on April 29th declaring us a Champions. #wrexham

While local fans are more than thankful for the new owners for resorting to the club so well. They would reach out to some fans individually and encourage them to show their public support for the team. The people are appreciating the great demand and name it has received due to the duo’s publicity.
And in a few years time when it is one of YOUR children under that hat it will be your second favourite tweet ever. It won’t be long….
My daughter was there today, supports & from Wrexham, but lives in Nottingham.
Welcome to Wrexham – history and memories are made EVERYDAY.
