Tensions were high for Ryan Reynolds And Rob McElhinney As Wrexham AFC enter their final National League match during the season two final of Welcome to Wrexham, which aired on Tuesday 14 November.
At the time, fans did not know it would be Wrexham’s last game in this particular league, but Reynolds, 47, and McIlhenny, 46, were hoping the match against Boreham Wood would end in a win – and promotion to the EFL. League.
“It’s definitely a full two years of climbing to the top,” Reynolds said of the team’s potential promotion. “I would say this happens constantly though. Just when I think she can’t bubble anymore – like the Nott family [County] The Game – Here I am, spending four full sleepless nights all the way to Boreham Wood. That’s all I think about.”
