WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>There were, however, plenty of Wrexham supporters ready to ride an emotional rollercoaster with the ‘It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’ star. The Welsh outfit knew that they<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/would-welcome-to-wrexham-documentary-survive-dip-results-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-leeway-growing-fan-base-north-america-world/blt34daf2f747a8c627" target="_blank"> could not afford any slip-ups</a> during a visit to Bloomfield Road.</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We're all <a href="https://twitter.com/RMcElhenney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RMcElhenney</a> 😄<br><br>🔴⚪ <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WxmAFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WxmAFC</a> <a href="https://t.co/Y3Zh15T8HW">pic.twitter.com/Y3Zh15T8HW</a></p>— Wrexham AFC (@Wrexham_AFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/Wrexham_AFC/status/1914419735535718458?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 21, 2025</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It took over an hour for the deadlock to be broken against Blackpool, as McElhenney was left with his head in hands at times, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-going-up-james-mcclean-ollie-rathbone-blackpool-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-wycombe-second-place-league-one-promotion-rivals-charlton/blt568198a1248e536b" target="_blank">James McClean and Ollie Rathbone both netted in the space of three second-half minutes</a> to put Wrexham in control.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The hosts did grab a stoppage-time consolation, which added to the sense of drama, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rob-mcelhenney-attendance-joins-travelling-wrexham-fans-league-one-clash-blackpool-fight-for-promotion-championship/bltafa384e5f5281b3f" target="_blank">McElhenney and Co were left celebrating three priceless points</a> at the final whistle. The most famous face in the crowd has shared a collection of images that highlight the “play in 3 acts” that he experienced by the seaside in Lancashire.</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltbbe24740227b5b29/rob%20m%20away.png?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltbbe24740227b5b29/rob%20m%20away.png?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltbbe24740227b5b29/rob%20m%20away.png?format=jpg" alt="Rob McElhenney Wrexham Blackpool 2024-25" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:bltbbe24740227b5b29;width:437;height:739"></picture>

WHAT ROB MCELHENNEY SAID

<p>Victory for Wrexham, coupled with Wycombe’s shock defeat at home to Charlton, has pushed Phil Parkinson’s side back into second place in the third tier table. They have just two games left in which to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-premier-league-wrexham-plans-appeal-big-company/blt51bff5d5dd93c645" target="_blank">wrap up automatic promotion</a> - with the first of those set to see them play host to in-form Charlton on Saturday.</p>
