Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney almost banned celebs from Wrexham games as Hollywood actor 'broke law' in stands

Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have revealed how one of their Hollywood friends nearly landed the club in hot water by 'breaking the law' in the stands. It came after the pair vowed to ban celebrities from games after a heartbreaking defeat at Wembley last year.

This season has seen several actors and comedians travel to the Racecourse ground to cheer on Wrexham as they marched towards the National League title. The likes of Will Ferrell, Anna Corrin and McElhenney's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-stars Kaitlin Olson, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day have all been seen in the stands, while Paul Rudd was in attendance for the memorable Boreham Wood game that saw the Red Dragons seal promotion with the Hollywood actor capturing the historic moment on film.

However, Reynolds and McElhenney have now revealed that counting on their friends for support almost backfired, with Day falling foul of stadium rules while watching Wrexham's 3-0 win over Yeovil in April.
