WREXHAM, Wales - Ryanheld his head in his hands. Rob McElhenney leaned forward, took a deep breath and was soon wiping tears from his eyes.
They seemingly have become soccer fanatics since completing their out-of-nowhere purchase of the club for $2.5 million in 2021. An offshoot of the takeover was the making of a fly-on-the-wall documentary - entitled “Welcome to Wrexham” - that has charted the journey of a team run by a couple of actors learning the ropes of sports club ownership.
It is Wrexham's first league title at any level since the old Division Three - then the third tier in the English game - in 1977 and the team has done it in style, collecting a record 110 points so far and winning 34 of its 45 games. “We can feel what it means to the town,” McElhenney said on the field. “This is a moment of catharsis for them and celebration. For us to be welcomed into the community, and to be welcomed into this experience, has been the honor of my life.” and McElhenney have used their large Twitter followings to promote the club and brought in sponsors such as TikTok, Aviation Gin and Expedia, global brands that typically have no place at this level of the game.
