Wrexham Football Club faces promotion challenge amid home support concerns

Wrexham AFC, co-owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, is on the brink of a third consecutive promotion and could reach the Championship if results go their way in the final two games of the season. Director Humphrey Ker has identified a tense home atmosphere and heightened fan expectations as issues that have sometimes negatively affected player performance, urging supporters to rally behind the team. Reynolds, speaking at the TIME100 Summit, confessed to intense stress over the promotion fight and joked about the toll it has taken, emphasizing that while the drama makes for good TV, winning is what truly matters. The team faces a pivotal match against Charlton, with the possibility that the promotion race could be decided in the final game if results do not fall in their favor. Both Reynolds and McElhenney are expected to attend the crucial fixture, while outside managers have stirred tensions by characterizing Wrexham's Hollywood-backed rise as a 'circus.' Despite the pressure and scrutiny, Wrexham's rapid ascent has captured global attention, with the team's journey inspiring fans and being featured in the popular docuseries 'Welcome to Wrexham.'
