Wrexham and Birmingham City were both promoted to the Championship last season and their global marketing battle is as fierce as the football clashes, as Seb Kennedy reports.

Paul Mullin won't be featuring for Wrexham this season, but the striker has opened up on his first ever phone call with the club's co-owner Rob McElhenney.

Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds are hoping Wrexham can move joint top of National League this evening – and they are able to watch live on BT Sport. The pals, who are behind a proposed club takeover bid, can tune in from North America to watch the Dragons’ play bottom of the table Maidenhead United at the Racecourse (7.45pm). Wrexham can join leaders Hartlepool United and second-placed Sutton United on nine points with manager Dean Keates  hopeful they can put on a show for the club’s famous new fans.
