Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have shown their appreciation to the Wrexham playing staff after their recent promotion.
The Welsh club held a parade around the town this week in front of thousands of fans and will now jet off to Las Vegas to celebrate their achievement. And star striker Paul Mullin has confirmed the Hollywood owners demanded just one thing of them - don't take their bank cards!
Wrexham secured a spot back into the Football League for the first time in 15 years after clinching the Vanarama National League title with a win over Boreham Wood last month. It has been quite the season for the Welsh side, breaking all sorts of records on the way to the league title.
Clips from the title-winning celebrations after victory over Boreham Wood went viral across social media, but the party is not over for Mullin and co just yet. Speaking to GQ, Wrexham's top goalscorer, revealed both Reynolds and McElhenney will be flying the team out to Vegas, where it will be all expenses paid.
"It became a thing where if we won the league, we’d get a holiday," revealed former Cambridge United man, Mullin. "So we’re off to Vegas. Ryan and Rob told us to leave our cards at home, they're sorting the lot.
"They sent us a full itinerary just now. Part of me doesn’t want to go, I might be dead by the end of it. But I’d never go to Vegas by me own accord, so I’m buzzing for it."
The party continued on Tuesday, as the Hollywood stars and the Wrexham squad were paraded through the city with their trophy in front of thousands of fans in an open-top bus. After their success this campaign, co-owner Reynolds has assured fans the club's long-term future is now his main priority.
"Ultimately, like any business, you want it to be able to self-perpetuate and continue growing. You don't want to lose money, but I don't think either of us are in this to make money either," he said per Sky News.
"It's just about growing the best possible club and finding value in any place that we can find value, whether that is financial or emotional, sometimes it can be indistinguishable." This was also reaffirmed by McElhenney, who added: "No decision that we have made over the last two years hasn't kept the future in mind, so we never make a short-term decision.
