Wrexham FC, which recently shot to fame after the club was bought by American actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, face the Northumberland club in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup.

Reynolds - famous for playing marvel character Deadpool - and Blyth supporters group Green Army have exchanged playful tweets in the build up.
