CAN you imagine what it’s going to be like on match days when Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney ride into town?

Matchday tickets - especially when the dynamic double act take pride of place in the Directors’ Box - will be like Willy Wonka’s golden tickets.

The town’s going to go - if it hasn’t already - football crazy and we all want to be part of the act.

Talk about Christmas coming early. This is dreamland for Wrexham fans everywhere in what can only be described as a footballing fairytale.

And it’s not just Wrexham fans who are lapping this up. Everyone is talking about it, most of them envious of this surreal scenario.

Why Wrexham, they all ask? Who cares, they reply, just desperate to start getting their teeth into the first act.

The film stars will swap Tinseltown for Wrexham town and they believe they have a story to tell after doing their homework on the third oldest professional club in the world.

Once upon a time Wrexham were a team who caused FA Cup shocks galore, flew the Welsh flag with pride in the European Cup Winners Cup and celebrated a few never-to-be-forgotten promotion-winning campaigns during their proud 156-year history.

A Wembley win in the FA Trophy Final in 2013 and lifting the Football League Trophy at the magnificent Millennium Stadium 15 years ago are two of very few 21st Century highlights.

But that could all change because 2021 promises to be the start of one helluva ride - a ride Wrexham fans all over will be wanting a front row seat for.

Reynolds and McElhenney - as you would expect from Hollywood A-listers - have been word perfect from the day The Leader broke the news that these were the two ‘extremely well-known’ stars interested in buying the Reds.

They don’t exactly need to work on their PR and who in their right mind was going to say no to their bid to buy a club that was running out of money and who were destined to spend a lot longer than the 13 years they’ve already suffered in non-league football.

Getting out of this league has, and has always been, the number one priority but Wrexham have not been good enough.

That has to change but will Reynolds and McElhenney’s magic wand spell promotion back to the Football League for the Reds?

Two million pounds being ploughed in for starters will definitely help as long as the calibre of players and off-the-field personnel drafted in are the right ones.

Recruitment wise as a fan-owned club, the Wrexham Supporters Trust, have failed on all counts.

The board have adopted a hire-and-fire policy regarding managers while how many times has the new man coming in, ripped up the entire squad in their desperate quest for success?

Dean Keates did that in the summer and after a shaky start, two 1-0 wins have added to the feelgood factor after fans voted yes to the takeover deal a week ago.

It might be a difficult time for Keates and players with all the anticipation of who the new owners may try and lure to The Racecourse. But they haven’t fluffed their lines at all in the past week. It was a superb 1-0 win at Hartlepool and beating Aldershot by the same scoreline on Saturday is the just the kind of consistency the Reds have been craving for over the years.

If they can do the same at home to Sutton United tonight then the league table will look much, much better heading into December.

Wrexham’s greatest ever team - the 1977/78 Division Three title winners - stuttered early on before charging to glory with Dixie McNeil, Bobby Shinton and Graham Whittle banging in the goals.

It was standing room only in most parts of the ground in those days. Others would peer over the back wall of The Kop to get their footballing fix.

Wouldn’t it be great to relive those magical Racecourse days once again?

And it might just happen......
