LONDON—Wrexham’s Hollywood owners got their wish.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney had thrown their support behind Notts County to gain promotion from the National League after seeing their own team win a tight title battle in England’s fifth tier.
And McElhenney took to Twitter to congratulate Notts County after its penalty shootout victory over Chesterfield in the National League playoff final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. The match finished 2–2 after extra time.
“Never a doubt,” McElhenney, the creator of TV show “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” wrote on Twitter “Congratulations Notts County!!!!!!! What an extraordinary run. See you next year.”
Wrexham and Notts County passed the 100-point mark in the regular season, the first time two teams reached that milestone in the same season.
Wrexham sealed promotion on April 22.
