Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham forced to play in ‘nightmare’ conditions as fog wreaks havoc for players
WREXHAM were forced to play in “nightmare” conditions as fog wreaked havoc for players on the pitch.
The Welsh side – co-owned by Hollywood star Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds – hosted Blackpool on Boxing Day.
But the weather was forecast for nine degrees with cloud and winds.
What turned out to be was a pitch full of fog, making it hard for players at times to even see the yellow match ball.
Blackpool took the lead after three minutes as Ashley Fletcher converted from a cross.
But Sky Sports News’ cameras barely caught the moment Fletcher scored past keeper Mark Howard.
One fan said: “Watching this Wrexham game and this fog has to make the V1/V2’s job a nightmare.”
Another added: “This fog is getting worst.”
One joked: “How did he see where the goal was with all the fog?”
Another said: “Can barely see a thing.”

Wrexham did pull level on 24 minutes thanks to star striker Paul Mullin.
The forward celebrated by pulling on a Deadpool mask – paying homage to co-owner Reynolds.
Mullin even had a cameo in the third instalment of the Marvel movie series – playing “Welshpool.”
