Wroxham FC enchantment to Ryan Reynolds for assist after lacking out on funding ‘by one letter’

Lowly football club Wroxham FC have appealed to Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds for help after fearing they missed out on Wrexham FC funding ‘by one letter’.

The Non-league side say having an ‘O’ instead of ‘E’ was all that cost them celebrity owners Reynolds and Rob McElhenney – who went on to invest in Wrexham FC.

The club is now hoping a new documentary about their journey will come to the attention of the stars – with calls for a friendly match that has already been dubbed the ‘vowel derby.’Their trailer to the 3-part documentary has now been released and led to hundreds of calls for Reynolds to respond – and agree to meeting for the clash of the Wr*xhams.

The fortunes of Wroxham FC, who currently sit rock bottom of the Isthmian North League, could not be further from those of Wrexham FC, who currently rank five divisions above them.

Club Chairman, James Blower, revealed the club has had “hundreds” of people confuse the two clubs over the past couple of years as the fortunes of Wrexham skyrocketed.

Since the club released the trailer to the series, aptly named, Welcome to Wroxham – it has already racked up 300k views on social media and garnered thousands comments from football fans, including many from Wrexham.

The trailer features wholesome characters from the Norfolk-based football club, including tireless cigar smoking 78 year-old head groundsman, Barry Letten, and club chairman, James Blowers.

Mr Blowers said: “We’ve watched from the subs bench as Wrexham FC has soared up the leagues and achieved global fame thanks to their celebrity owners.

“There’s plenty of people around this great little club that think but for ONE letter, it could have been us.

“With investment from our new club sponsor, Riot Labs, we’ve finally been able to make the documentary that tells our side of the story, and with a bit of luck, put the club on the map to maybe secure our own celebrity investment.

“Our dream is for Ryan and Rob to spot our own special story, and maybe set up a pre-season grudge match!”

Clips were shared of the trailer across X, formerly known as Twitter, and shared to various football meme pages, igniting discussion and some friendly rivalry between fans sharing their confusion over the one vowel separating the two teams.

One user aimed to settle the difference and unite the two clubs and wrote: “What’s 1 vowel and 250 miles between friends? Up the Wr_xhams!”
