Exclusive: The club, owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, received the grant without a contract or final state aid assessment in place Wrexham AFC, the football club part-owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, was given a £3.8m government grant without a contract or a finished state aid assessment in place, raising questions over whether the award was lawful. The club has received £18m in taxpayer-funded grants – far more than any other in the UK – to help to redevelop its stadium, the Racecourse Ground (Y Cae Ras in Welsh).

Rog is joined by Rob McElhenney, co-creator of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Mythic Quest and co-owner of Wrexham AFC. Rob describes the thrill of being promoted for the third consecutive season, the challenges he and co-owner Ryan Reynolds will face in the Championship division and his experience of attending a Wrexham away match in the stands with supporters. Rob dives deep into the speech he delivered to the team, the actor who would play him in the movie about Wrexham and about their upcoming trip to Las Vegas to celebrate promotion. This Week in Wrexham from the Men in Blazers media network and presented by our great friends of the pod STōK Cold Brew Coffee.
