When Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took charge of Wrexham more than two years ago, their long-term ambition was clear.
The Hollywood duo wanted to bring the Red Dragons back to a stature which was on a par with their proud history after 15 years in the doldrums of the National League. May's promotion to League Two signified a shift in the right direction for the Red Dragons but on-pitch success was only part of the plan.
Speaking to supporters on a Zoom meeting as they outlined their plans back in 2020, Reynolds and McElhenney spoke fondly about the Racecourse Ground and how they hoped to bring about a return of international football. They even included the objective in their Wrexham mission statement upon taking over.

Under the heading 'hard promises', the statement read: "Explore the renovation of the Racecourse Ground and improve the venue for the club, for International matches and perhaps, the occasional Tom Jones gig." On Friday this aim became a reality.
Cymru FA (FAW) has announced Rob Page's side will be facing Gibraltar in an 'International Challenge Match' on Wednesday, October 11 at the Racecourse Ground. In a statement, FAW President Steve Williams said: "Being born and bred in the Wrexham area, I am incredibly proud to see Cymru returning to the oldest international football stadium in the world.
"With the commitment of the FAW and the exciting re-development work taking place at the STōK Cae Ras (Racecourse Ground), I’m hopeful this opens the door for further matches to take place in Wrexham across all our national teams and age groups, including our UEFA U19 EURO finals bid for 2026 to celebrate our 150th anniversary."

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor “Oppenheimer” has burst into the Oscar race. With the earnest and urgent cultural fabric of “To Kill a Mockingbird” and the philosophical measure of “The Tree of Life,” writer, director and producer Christopher Nolan’s chronicle of the creation of the most destructive weapon ever used stands as the most ambitious and vital piece of filmmaking of his career. Adapted from the book “American Prometheus” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, “Oppenheimer” tells the complicated and morally fraught story of American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer who led the effort to develop the atomic bomb. Nolan and his stellar ensemble of actors have amassed 27 Oscar nominations collectively throughout their careers. One of those who surprisingly hasn’t nabbed one is Irish actor Cillian Murphy, who plays the titular scientist. With dry wit and womanizing charm that effectively makes him the scientific version of Michael Fassbender in “Shame,” Murphy is an effective vehicle to lead the viewer through through reams of scientific terminology. In addition, his tour-de-force performance, which is sure to be in real consideration for best actor, is best displayed when showcasing the emotional toll such a creation can have on a person. Lead actors from competitive best picture players, especially from biopics, have been consistently recognized over the past few decades in Oscar history (see Benedict Cumberbatch for “The Imitation Game” or Christian Bale for “American Hustle”). Murphy could find his time has come after decades of memorable turns in “28 Days Later” (2002) and “Breakfast on Pluto” (2006).
