Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney receive huge £25m Wrexham boost

Wrexham have received a huge boost in the form of a £25m Welsh government grant as they look to build a new stand at the Racecourse Ground.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have poured cash into the club with National League promotion just games away, provided they get the necessary results. The Hollywood duo are looking to bolster the club's infrastructure and a new 5,500-seater stand has got the go ahead.

Initially they had an application for UK government Levelling Up Fund money rejected in January, but have now seen the council's executive board unanimously back funding the new stand, which will take the ground's capacity to 15,000 - putting it among the biggest grounds in the fourth tier of English football.
