Wrexham Fans Went Fucking Bananas When News Of Ryan Reynolds And Rob McElhenney Buying The Club Became Official

Goddamn do I love European soccer fans. It's just a whole different breed over there. I've said it before but they make the most diehard American sports fans look like pussies. That said, I assume this is what we'd do the moment James Dolan sells the Knicks. Me, Clem, KFC, Steven Cheah and Hubbs just going nuts outside MSG with fireworks. Sure, we may end up in jail but I'm thinking it'd be worth it. That's how much James Dolan sucks. But it's not every day when your 5th tier soccer club gets bought by two titans, two stars, two guys who are going to change it all around. 

Wrexham does have a diehard fan base too. They are the oldest soccer club in Wales and the third oldest in the world. You become a fan by birth. You don't really have a choice to cheer for someone else if you're family are Wrexham fans. Remember, fans were the owners of the team. It's like what the Packers think they are, except Wrexham fans were actual owners. They dealt with an owner in Alex Hamilton who tried to get the club evicted from the Racecourse Grounds so he could sell it for his own developmental purposes. So it makes sense as to why fans would celebrate like they just won a title when Reynolds and Rob took over. 

Even better we already have an It's Always Sunny themed stadium song:
