Welcome to Wrexham documentary mocked for wildly inaccurate map showing where British football clubs are based, as Londoners Brentford joke they 'have questions' for producers Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney

The Welcome to Wrexham documentary has earned plenty of plaudits, but it is now being mocked for a wildly inaccurate map of British football clubs.

WHAT HAPPENED?
The series, which is produced by Dragons co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, has lifted the lid on goings on in North Wales since a stunning takeover of the club was completed in the spring of 2021. It has followed Wrexham’s adventures on and off the field during a memorable era in the club’s long and distinguished history.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Reynolds and McElhenney have often been the stars of the show – as they are most comfortable on camera – but household names have been made of the likes of star striker Paul Mullin and local pub landlord Wayne Jones.
DID YOU KNOW?
Welcome to Wrexham – which airs on the FX network – has helped to raise the Dragons’ profile, particularly in the United States, but “questions” are being asked of a bizarre map that has features in series two which is supposed to highlight where certain teams are based in the United Kingdom.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
The map in question has led Premier League outfit Brentford – who are based in west London but sit in the North East according to the Wrexham doc – to quip on social media: “We’re just a bus stop in Hexham.” The likes of Blackburn, Newcastle, Everton, Cardiff and Swansea will also be taking issue with their supposed geographical locations, with fans across the British game being given a good laugh at Wrexham’s expense.
