Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought Wrexham AFC in 2020 and have been working on expanding the Racecourse ever since. The project has posed some issues — and cost the actors a lot of money.

Welcome to Wrexham viewers have been hearing about the Kop — and stadium overhaul — since the show premiered in August 2022. Wrexham executive director, Humphrey Ker, offered a recap of the Racecourse trials and tribulations over the years.“The Kop was the iconic stand at one end of the stadium, and it has sadly sat a kind of derelict mass of rusting metal for the last few years,” he explained. “So, we applied to the U.K. government for some money to build a fancy new stand there and got denied.

Reynolds and McElhenney addressed the “safety issue” to do everything “above board” so there were no concerns of jail.
