  • In 2020, Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds bought a welsh soccer team, or as it's called in Wales, a football club that was struggling in the lowest tiers of the professional british football leagues.

  • The club is in the town of Wrexham, a city that itself had been struggling.

  • Their idea was to turn the team around, raise its standings and help out the town.

  • McElhenney has said that Wrexham reminded him of his hometown, Philadelphia, a city with its own troubles and a fierce loyalty to its athletic teams.

  • Also the home of fresh air, the co owners and the town and the soccer teams.

  • Trials and tribulations are the subject of the Emmy award winning FX documentary series welcome to Wrexham, now in its third season and streaming on Hulu.
