Conor McGregor will link up with Ryan Reynolds at Wrexham on Tuesday as the UFC legend puts one of his famous drinks on sale.
The Welsh side, who are closing in on promotion from the National League, will host Yeovil at the Racecourse Ground in midweek. Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's involvement with the club has seen their stock rise rapidly and a football league return is on the cards.
Forward Paul Mullin has been among their leading lights this term, scoring 35 times, and McGregor's involvement will help raise awareness for his charity Your Space, which supports Autism. The Irishman's product Forged Irish Stout will be available at the nearby Turf Hotel - and he has hailed the collaboration.
McGregor said on Twitter : "Taking my @ForgedStout tank into the absolute magic that is happening at @Wrexham_AFC, and in aid of helping a great charity “Your Space” that raises awareness and support for autism. Drop by and show love if you are in town. Try out the game changer."
Turf Hotel owner, Wayne Jones, encourage support for McGregor's drink as he said: "This Tuesday before Yeovil we will be selling @TheNotoriousMMA's very own Irish Stout from a mobile truck by the Marquee. We will be donating all sales yo @PMullin7 backed Charity YourSpace. I’m told it’s a belting pint so all support would be very much appreciated."
Three points against the Hatters would push Wrexham closer to promotion with just a matter of games left. They hold a narrow advantage over Notts County, after dropping points against Barnet, but retain a one-point lead and have a game in hand.
Phil Parkinson said after their draw at The Hive: "It’s another point on the journey where we need to go to. When you go down to 10 men a point is good. I felt there might be a moment for us even with 10 men. It didn’t come, but the lads have dug deep and put in a strong performance against a good side in contention for the play-offs.”
Wrexham's remaining three games are against Yeovil, Boreham Wood and Torquay, where they finish the season. Reynolds and McElhenney have begun planning for the club's future by trademarking the its name in a bid to turn it into a powerful global brand. The duo have been granted copyright protection in America and the UK for a number of names related to the club.
The Sun have reported that the names 'Wrexham FC' and 'Wrexham FC 1864' have been officially trademarked in the relevant countries, with 'Wrexham Is The Name' also copyrighted in the US.
