WHAT THEY SAID: "It's so cool and so weird at the same time," Foster told CBS Sports of the involvement of the celebrity co-owners.

Rob is based over here for the next month doing a podcast tour in the UK, so he's in at the training ground and the stadium mingling with the lads, he had lunch with us yesterday. Ryan like I say will come to one in three games, but they're always on WhatsApp after the game hitting you up with a well done today, fantastic performance, that's the cool bit."

AND WHAT'S MORE: On Wrexham's potential celebration plans for promotion, Foster added: "They didn't [take us out after beating Notts County], but they promised us a monster one at the end of the season. If we get promoted they're going to take us somewhere with a lot of flashing lights."
