It’s been no Hollywood fantasy so far for Wrexham in the Championship with just one win in five patches, as Ian Mitchelmore reports.

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.

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.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney  – the Hollywood superstars supposedly set to sprinkle stardust on Wrexham – are already putting the club on the map and earning them new fans. The Racecourse outfit – who play in the fifth tier of the English system – say the shock news the A-listers are set to invest has come as no surprise to them as they have a very down-to-earth approach. Wrexham revealed the news on Wednesday and it is understood any takeover could see £2million pumped into the club.
