York Road

---

Wrexham AFC's Hollywood owners' first appearance at a game has left The Town " absolutely buzzing" a pub landlord has said.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcelhenney watched Wrexham at Maidenhead United's York Road , where the side lost 3-2.

The pair completed their takeover of The Club in February.

Pub landlord Wayne Jones said it was " pretty impressive" to see The Stars watching in Maidenhead on a wet, cold Tuesday night.

After The Match , Reynolds shared pictures from the National League Game On his Instagram account, writing: " Football is a staggering, heartbreaking, gorgeous, tommy-gun of soul-deadening, evil and beauty and I'm never sleeping again ever, ever. "

Wrexham brought plenty of drama, Fighting Back to 2-2 after having a player sent off, but a final Maidenhead goal deprived them of a Fairy Tale ending.

'My Wife would probably faint'

Mr Jones, who runs the Turf Hotel in Wrexham, next to the football club's Racecourse ground, said it was " surreal" to see pictures of The Actors at The Game .

" It's brilliant, the whole town is absolutely buzzing, if I'm honest. People keep phoning and asking if I've seen them, " He Said .

" I'd love them to call in for a beer. My Wife will probably faint, I would imagine, if Ryan Reynolds walks through The Door . "

Mr Jones said The Actors would be coming to his pub to film The Promotion for their access-all-areas documentary, Welcome to Wrexham, on Thursday.

The Turf Hotel was where Wrexham AFC was first formed in 1864, He Said .

'Crash Course in supporting Wrexham'

Mr Jones said The Game against Maidenhead had given The Stars " a Crash Course in what supporting Wrexham is all about".

" It wouldn't have been the Wrexham way if we had turned up and walloped them 7-0 Last Night , " He Said .

" If they didn't know what to expect, they certainly do now. "

But he added " a lot of fans are a little bit disgruntled" about The Club 's performance.

The Actors were accompanied by a crew filming their documentary.

" As nice as it is to have them, we need to remember that we're a football team and we need to focus on the points, " Jones said.

" We need to get the football right first. "

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson had been told beforehand that the Reynolds and McElhenney would be at The Game , but neither he nor the players met with the pair ahead of The Game .

He Said : " They flew in and they were trying to keep a Low Profile but I imagine it's fairly difficult to be low-profile, and they let us get on with it.

" We look forward to meeting them later in the week. "
