Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney | Cyfweliad Arbennig | Exclusive Interview | Wrexham AFC | S4C 

The fact that 2 non football people let alone celebrities can just buy a club, and fall in love with the game and be better owners then most top tier clubs in the sense of actually caring for the city and players and actually wanna grow it is insane to me still this is how you run a club

Rob and Ryan: two non-plonkers. Humble, even after that gargantuan victory of winning the league.

From a Wrexham fan born and bred. Thank you so much Rob & Ryan you have done so much for the town , people and club. Lets do it again next season, you can do it.

I didn’t even know there was a town called Wrexham and had never watched a football game in my life (outside of American Football 🏈) but when the show came out and I saw the fact that Ryan and Rob were now the owners is what made me watch it. All I can say now is that I’m in love with the Welsh people and the people of Wrexham and truly invested in what happens with this football club. So proud as an American of our celebrity owners and what they were able to accomplish in a few short years. I was in tears for the Wrexham community when they won promotion.. that game and ending was amazing! GO WREXHAM!! 🎉

Rob said you cannot get any higher. Rob this upward journey with my home town team has only just begun. Hold on tight Rob this will be a massive rollercoaster ride for the next 5 years, guaranteed.

These two guys are legends to us here in Wrexham. They put us on the world map. I can’t wait to see the open top bus parade tomorrow evening. Up the town🎉🎉🎉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It feels so surreal… sitting at home in Sweden, watching a Welsh news channel interviewing the owners of Wrexham in the US… I love it! Go Wrexham! ❤

Their belief in phil has done a lot to help them. Phil being so good at what he does keeps the engine going

My wife and I are coming over to Wrexham from Canada at the end of this Sept 2023 and we're really hoping to get 2 tickets to see a home game and have a pint (or 2) in The Turf Pub !!! GO WREXHAM !!!

Contrast these two brilliant owners with what the Glazer family have done to Manchester United. Just worlds apart in their ethics.

Hearing Rob talk about the womens team made me cry! Such an incredible team! Rosie is an absolute superstar and I CANNOT WAIT to see a game!

Can you imagine these two in their 60's sitting down talking how it took 15 plus years but they made it to the Premiership.

Well done to Ryan & Rob for their commitment to the club, very happy for Wrexham FC and also my hometown

So many people said it was a gimmick from the beginning, that they'd get sick of it after a while and leave, no matter the results. I sincerely think they will stay as long as they are welcomed, and i can really see them be the owners for years and years to come, imagine the scenes when wrexham manage to get promoted to premier league one day and these two are still in command. I hope i live to see it

I so love Maxine Hughes. I only know her as Rob and Ryan's Welsh teacher, and from the start when she first met them on camera, she's seemed both skeptical, and down for their style of humour. This interview seemed genuinely lovely, and it was heart-warming when Maxine genuinely expressed how the show had made her life better. the new Wrexham is a cracking story in the making, im looking forward to seeing it all unfold

Maxine is just lovely and she asks the questions that we need to know the answers to. I'm glad Rob and Ryan are at the helm! Peace!

These guys are the role model for football club ownership. Well done guys keep it going!

This is how owners should be...a breath of fresh air for football. So good to have these two genuine people in the sport

2 actors who didnt know anything about football are now the best owners any team could hope for.

Maxine is a proper headmistress. LOL. She's got them boys ready to do thier numbers, say their letters and even clean the blackboard after class. She's a legend. She also needs more acting roles because she's absolutely wonderful.

I said it before and I‘ll say it again. It‘s not just Wrexham, it‘s not just Wales. The show managed to perfectly capture the passion and love people have for this sport and that‘s why it resonates so well globally. Combined with these two beautiful people, this show and this club and this season especially have done so incredibly much for football in general and for fans all around the world. It’s really almost impossible to not be a fan of Wrexham AFC these days. I just hope they can keep this up next season and the one after and maybe, just maybe actually make it to the premier league. Though that, I think, will be a lot harder than the two of them are imagining now. Up the town!

I’m flabbergasted. From Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales! Literally blown away. Thank you both - Wales is an amazing country as your completely aware. You deserve us and we deserve you. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇺🇸 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️🔴

What is really great to "hear" is their eloquence and intelligence. What they say is important but how they say it shows thought. It is great to see that intelligence is not a bad idea and it can be entertaining too. They make fun of themselves in a very human way, but they are so careful and reverential of Wrexham.

As an Arsenal fan, I can go on record and SAFELY say that Wrexham are EASILY my 2nd team! Congratulations 🎉 to you all for your fantastic and well deserved promotion back to the English Football League in 2022/23 and all the very best and good luck to you all in 2023/24 when you play in League Two! Rob and Ryan have shown all of the current foreign owners in this country on how it should be done, what they’ve done is just fantastic! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Well done everyone in Wrexham, from a Cardiff city fan ❤.

We all knew wrexham had potential to be something special and these guys made it a reality! I have had a smile from ear to ear since our promotion.

I have been starving for more Wrexham AFC content and this hit the spot 👏

Wrexham AFC is a beautiful story of community and human virtue. Any community would be fortunate to have such leadership. Wrecsam am Byth!

Both really good lads ... Wrexham are lucky to have them. Great decision by the Supporters Trust to let them come in. I think the interest in the games they play this summer in the States is going to surprise a few people.

Thank you Rob, Ryan and Maxine!

Lots and lots of ‘something in my eye’ moments for me, during that interview! When I was a kid, my first season was the old Third Division season and the promotion to the Second Division. That was it for me, forty five years later it’s the same for any new fans, and kids too, enjoying the recent promotion season. I’ve got no greed in me, in home life nor for Wxm, I’m just grateful we are back in League 2. That’s already enough! Rob and Ryan have already done so much for the community, and the club, and fans, it’s already pure gold, job done. I’m happy if we are just trundling along in L2, so long as we never go down to NL again. Seriously. And yet, listening to the guys again here, they’re so focused, enthusiastic, and dreaming of more promotions in the next decade or two. If so, then it’s just beyond the wildest dreams of old fans like me. Bring it on, for sure. We hope for more success, but expect nothing. I’m just so grateful for what Rob and Ryan have done for the club, fans, town, and beyond. ❤❤❤

No better place to looking for players, than Wrexham AFC's Youth Team,they have some fine young players. Brilliant move to install new LED floodlights that will now allow for internationals to be broadcast from the Wrexham ground, can't wait to see the new Kop Stand... Some very wise words from Rob & Ryan, great to see the Women team get well deserved praise.

I enjoy the fact that Welcome to Wrexham focuses on the community, as well as the athletes, staff & the 2 famous chairmen. I'll keep watching if the show continues. 🎉 Congrats to all!

Just 2 astonishigly talented but fully grounded men doing gorgeous things with their well earned wealth... what is there not to love? Beautiful things happen to, and for, beautiful people! Respect!

I fell out of love with football many years ago, it became a soulless, corporate driven tank. These two are exactly what every club needs.

Being born and bred in Wrexham I am so proud of these two men, who have been the best thing that has happened to Wrexham, our football team and everyone involved in the community. We love them and they are one of us now. Thank you for having faith in us we love you xX❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

As an American and a fan of true football, I am so happy for the community and team of Wrexham. Congratulations on an amazing season and a well deserved promotion! I'm so happy that Ryan and Rob have done it right and for the right reasons. It warms my heart to see the community thrive and see the team fully committed to the city and each other. Go Wrexham!!!

I’m an American who spent last semester in the UK, and I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a match at the Racecourse

God bless wrexham....tidy...as a south waleian im really pleased whats going up there...fair play ....what a result.....may it continue.....ATB.....great stuff

ryan reynolds talking about notts county will never not blow my mind

Unbelievable owners. What a shame there are not more of them out there.

by some distance the best foreign owners in UK Football !!!!!!

These 2 are changing lives and perceptions of smaller clubs. This is an amazing journey, and I for one wish them and Wrexham luck in rising through the ranks of our very special and amazing game. Dream big guys, stage one completed

Wrexham is fielding a League 2 team already which is great. Maybe even a league 1. Build around Mullen all the way to the top. Upgrading each side of the pitch for each promotion.

Even as an avid football supporter here in The States, I never thought I would purchase a one day pass for The National League. Totally worth it. Up The Town!

I’m from Southern California but 1000% invested in Wrexam!

I’m so glad they don’t ask to edit out where they aren’t perfect at welsh yet , at the end. Shows you how real they are. It’s awesome that they are so transparent and open and honest about their experience, financially and emotionally.

These 2 superstars are amazing, Wrexham fans can dream of being the best they can be and as a Celtic fan I wish them all the luck in the world 🍀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

What two splendidly pleasant chaps and a most spiffing interviewer too

Ultimate respect to these two legends… restores your faith that not all ‘celebrities’ are self absorbed cunts totally disconnected from reality!! I think it’s safe to say that Wrexham have now become everyone’s second team!!

Top owners, that has made this possible. Magnificient season. Be interesting to see how we go in div 2 and if phil's formation pays dividends in that league or if he will have to alter it, pressure is a good thing though.

It’s so weird but like Ryan I am obsessed with the last 3 games and watching Wrecsam and any related content ⚽️👍

Wales getting the recognition it deserves thanks to these two DIOLCH !!!

Its staggering to think of the lives these two are going to improve. In a decade there could literally be tens of thousands of people living better. This is how you get statues.

Yayy! Maxine Hughes! Wat a Star! She better be in WTW S2! Her S1 Cameos were highlights fr me! Probs to casting / call for Welsh speakers Stateside, and he friend for pushing her to apply! Those US casting agents know a radiant glowing TV persona when they see one! Plus, She's probably only one who can keep really keep these scamps in line! 😂❤

Just genuine guys ,no bullshit just honesty ,long prosper Wrexham afc

I hope that the women's team will be featured in the docu-series.

I suppose the next step, if they don't already have them in place, is to establish men's and women's football academies to develop their talented youth.

I hope they never stop this is Wrexham, i would watch it even if they lost every week.

Not a Wrexham fan but this story has brought a breathe of fresh air back into football and made it very enjoyable to follow and watch

Rob & Ryan are really down to earth considering they are both so famous, and not to mention rich... Ryan even more so! It's nice to know that money doesn't warp all rich people in the world... Go Wrexham, here for the journey all the way to the premier league. And mark my words, by the time the team actually does make it to the top tier of English Football, they will be probably the most watched and talked about team in the whole world! 💪

Love how when she asked about players they both immediately deferred to Phil. They and Humprhrey have all said the day they start voicing “football” decisions they’re doomed. Hopefully that sentiment never changes.

The feel good story of our dreams. I feel good in San Francisco. Thank you Wrexham, thank you Ryan and Rob. My husband is British so I’ve learned the joys and community of the football.

Congratulations Wrexham on the promotion! Now since the team is League Two, ESPN+ in the United States has the rights to EFL League Two so that means I can watch at home now. Yay!

Love how they also talk about the women's team! That shows how they are truly invested! Would think getting sponsors is not too hard at Racecourse right now! Looking forward to season two!

Excellent story ,as an old retired Scotsman living in in Germany Wrexham has another fan

Wrexham is quite the fascinating story. Rob and Ryan have done a tremendous job. I can't wait to visit to catch a match and drink plenty of pints!

Welsh is a beautiful language, hope the country preserves it well.

These guys and Humphrey Ker have to be applauded. The town must be just gob smacked that this has happened. Just brilliant stuff. 👏

Fantastic guys, so privileged to have them at our club…

Yes boys, football is addicting... especially when you win!! Well done!!

What a wonderful interview. So encouraging to hear their passion for the club, the town and the community at large. I hope to see them continue to grow and flourish in the years ahead. I'm sure there will be setbacks along the way, but the fact Ryan and Rob are so invested into it, I'm sure they will continue to support and help the club achieve greatness.

The fact that these two can tell a story about a fifth tier club in a manner that gets people around the globe this invested in it is incredible. So how does someone in the US watch EFL2? I’m along for this journey.

Not a Wrexham fan, but I what those two have done for the club is incredible, and to do it with such amazing humility too - not once did they say "we" did it, its always "they" did it like it was nothing to do with them..... I hope I see you playing at Villa Park in a league match one day.....

Madness. A beautiful, glorious madness.

Enough love from Cardiff city ❤

I hope they give a parade for the women's team as well. The ladies have done so well

Mighty oaks from little acorns grow…. Nothing is impossible, just keep believing. Wrexham have the support like never before. Amazing things are happening and I’m so excited for the people of Wrexham and the fans far and wide. Thank you Rob and Ryan for making this happen 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 x

Some PL clubs don't have the Global reach Wrexham have. All just by having Ryan Reynolds as an owner. Absolute genius move from a business perspective 👏

Well done Ryan..Rob and all involved at Wrexham AFC and we look forward to yous joining us at the Toon in the PL in the foreseeable future. Howay the Lads

Lovely interview/discussion....thanks guys! Thanks Maxine!

respect...travelling from NZ to watch these guys next season

COME ON BEN !!! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO GIVE US 1 MORE YEAR !!! LETS GO WREXHAM !!!!

I’m a 🍒 🍒 supporter, since 1966, we were always hovering around the lower leagues and nearly disappeared from existence. Now the club is looking forward to another year in the Premiership. It can be done with the right people. R&R are certainly the right ones. Look forward to seeing Wrexham there.

Every interview on Ryan & Rob seems like a Good Morning Show. They are so entertaining even when they talk.

It's fckn great ro see 2 Holywood personalities be so genuine when there would obvìusy be a hint of scepticism, lovely to see!❤

As a Swansea supporter i wanna say congrats Wrexham! Youve got yourself a pair of proper good boyos there. LFG! See you on the pitch in a few seasons!

Congrats to the Red Dragons! As an aside, it's awesome to see Maxine again

And now it’s back to back, now League One. Mental!

Essentially, this is about community development. Both Rob and Ryan appear to understand this, that the community, it’s people, it’s leadership, must direct and determine the goals and direction of the town and football club. Not too actors from LA! Well done to Wrexham. This is such a story of hope. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ

This interview is clear and concise, questions and answers. Nice.

2 Geniue people

The journey to the Premiership would be one hell of a story. Go Wrexham.

Firstly I'm from Manchester and a Man City fan. Normally I'd be very sceptical about 2 celebrities, however these two, Not so much. I trust them.

I love the interviewers Welsh accent. I have fallen in love with Wrexham.🇨🇦

Congratulations to these two incredible humans, and all the hard working folks in that club the put their sweat and tears into this achievement. Happy ending does happen to deserving people.

Maxine Hughes was so funny in Welcome To Wrexham, hope she's in Season 2. I've been watching Welcome To Wrexham again this week and it's so bizarre watching it again now.

Rob and Ryan: This is your calling! Keep on with the show and it will take you further than you could ever imagine. Big fan from CA!

Maxine you are a great interviewer and ambassador for Wales. These two guys are sprinkling stardust around Wrexham. Please could you impress upon them that in their filming most Wrexham people do not use the F_ _ _ word. Thank you

these to are humble despite there standing in life..and Wrexham has come together with them..I hope they're in it for the long haul. enjoy the moment lads. it was epic.
