Stockport County

Wrexham

<p>Hollywood co-owners at SToK Racecourse have never hidden the fact that they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-premier-league-wrexham-plans-appeal-big-company/blt51bff5d5dd93c645" target="_blank">want to guide the Red Dragons towards the Promised Land</a>.
