Reynolds dismisses talk of Wrexham playing League One game in United States
Wrexham co-chairmen Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, October 28, 2021

WREXHAM co-owner Ryan Reynolds today denied talks have taken place about his team playing a League One fixture against Birmingham in the United States.

It was reported on Monday that Birmingham, another club under North American ownership, had asked the EFL for permission to play the Welsh club in the US, but that the request had been rejected.

The reports prompted some angry responses from Wrexham fans, including one who said such a move would go against the guiding principles set out by Reynolds and fellow Hollywood star Rob McElhenney when they took over the club.
