The Wrexham co-owner posted the poignant remarks on his Instagram after a rollercoaster few days at the club.
Ryan Reynolds has made a bold statement celebrating “togetherness” after a significant departure from Wrexham.
Reynolds and co-owner Rob Mac were in attendance at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday to watch their team face Wolves. The game concluded in a 1-1 draw, with Lewis O’Brien scoring for the Red Dragons after Adam Armstrong’s opener.
This week, the Hollywood couple announced the retirement of chief executive Michael Williamson, a surprising event at the club. They congratulated him for his two-year tenure with the North Wales club and appointed club director Shaun Harvey as interim CEO.
The announcement sparked a flood of responses from supporters, many of whom believe there is more to the leaving than has been revealed.
It followed the recent departure of Humphrey Ker, a popular former executive director.
Harvey was greeted warmly by the Wrexham fans on Saturday, and Reynolds believes there is a “togetherness” at the club that can be seen on the pitch and in the stands, while also highlighting the progress of the new Kop, which is now being developed.
“What a performance these boys put on. I can’t believe how far the new Kop stand has come. “It feels like a living, breathing promise of the greatest days ahead.”There’s a sense of community in the stands and on the pitch, but there’s also something special about this place. I’ve spent some of my best days in this stadium, standing next to @robmac. Today was one of them. “Up the Town.”
Manager Phil Parkinson says the presence of the club’s owners has a positive impact on everyone at the Racecourse.
“It’s always very uplifting, I feel, for the people who work at the club, first of all, the players and the staff when Rob and Ryan come over,” he told the BBC.The proprietors’ presence in town also lifts the spirits of the crowd.
“I communicate with them when they’re back in the States, but equally it’s good to have a chat with them when they’re over.”Whatever division we’ve been in, when Rob and Ryan have been here, I believe it’s beneficial for the players to see their connection to the club, how much they care, and how much they’re watching from afar,” Parkinson added.
“Since day one we’ve been in it together. I always say that when we’ve done well and have got promoted, how everybody at this club has got this enormous togetherness and that starts from the very top.”
