THE BIGGER PICTURE
The huge rise in Wrexham's social media profile is owed to their latest collaboration with 'Magic Mike' star Channing Tatum, who filmed a Super Bowl advert alongside Wrexham players. Tatum recently joined fellow actor Reynolds in North Wales for the live EFL experience. Several other Hollywood stars have visited the SToK Racecourse in the past which has further contributed to their global popularity.
