Rob & Ryan watch Wrexham's first Championship home game

Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney touched down to witness Wrexham’s first home match in the Championship against West Brom in front of a packed-out SToK Cae Ras. The timing couldn’t be bigger. Just a week ago, Wrexham’s Championship debut ended in heartbreak at St Mary’s when Southampton stunned them with two stoppage-time goals to snatch a 2-1 comeback. Now, the club’s glamorous backers hope the team can bounce back with three points.
