A club director on the talks that brought actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to town – and what lies ahead
It was during a phone call in May with the mysterious investors hoping to buy Wrexham that Spencer Harris twigged. “There was a guy called Rob on the call and from one or two of the things that he said, I guessed who he was. I kept that to myself for a couple of weeks,” he admits with a chuckle.
Nine years after the Wrexham Supporters Trust came to the rescue of its debt-ridden club, the arrival of new owners in the form of the Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney this week has catapulted the town in north Wales into the spotlight. But after 98.6% of votes cast by members of the trust supported their takeover, even Harris – who has served as one of five directors since 2011 – has been having to pinch himself.
