VIDEO: ‘Mister let’s send everyone to Vegas!’ - Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney mock their own spending when announcing historic U.S. tour for Wrexham’s women’s team

The Hollywood superstars have been at the Red Dragons’ helm since completing a stunning takeover in February 2021. They have enjoyed success on and off the field since then, with promotion pushes being complemented by notable commercial deals and an award-winning documentary series.

Wrexham men’s team have seen their stock soar to the point that a trip to the U.S. was taken in last summer – playing the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea in pre-season friendlies – and an ambitious women’s squad will now be treading a similar path in 2024.

In a tongue-in-cheek video to announce that tour and a partnership with financial services company Ally that is making the trip possible, Reynolds has poked fun at the manner in which cash has been splashed in North Wales. He said, while pointing a finger at fellow co-chairman McElhenney: “Would you say that your reckless spending has led us to the point of needing an ally like Ally? Mister let’s send everyone to Vegas. Mister let’s build a temporary Kop. Mister let’s do a show. It won’t cost you a thing, not a dime!”

While always keen to bring a sense of fun to goings on at Wrexham, McElhenney has said on Wrexham's official website of the upcoming tour of America: “We’re grateful to everyone at Ally for their support in getting the team out on the road this summer. Beyond all of the wins at home, this tour is a fantastic way for Wrexham AFC Women to show the world what they’re made of.”

Wrexham have revealed that the U.S. tour will “feature competitive matches as well as collaborations with key figures in women's sports.” Star Wars actress Natalie Portman, who forms part of the ownership team at NWSL side Angel City FC, has previously expressed interest in arranging a friendly against the Red Dragons.
