RYAN REYNOLDS and Rob McElhenney broke their own “unofficial rule” at least seven times on their way to promotion.
The Wrexham co-owners are enjoying a summer of celebration after the Red Dragons won the National League – including a post-season trip to Las Vegas.

That will see the Welsh club return to the EFL for the first time in 15 years.
And they did it despite threatening to jinx their memorable season.
The Hollywood pair agreed after losing last year’s FA Trophy final that they would stop hosting famous guests.
But that soon went out of the window – with a whole bunch of star names rocking up at Racecourse Ground to roar on Wrexham.
McElhenney said: “We had an unofficial rule we didn’t stick to after we lost at Wembley in the FA Trophy final last year.
“We decided no more celebrities because they were just a bad luck charm.
“But I guess we don’t have to worry about that anymore.’
A laughing Reynolds added to the RobRyanRed podcast: “Yeah it sort of worked out.

“Will Ferrell saw a great game. Emma Corrin saw an amazing match as well.
“Glen Howerton and Charlie Day and Kaitlin Olson saw a great one.
“We’ve had Paul and Joe Russo. They saw just the one to end it. I mean that was just the most incredible thing.”
Ferrell even joined fans in the pub ahead of Wrexham’s clash with Wealdstone in February – two months on from King Charles’ visit.
But It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia star Day got himself in hot water after breaking a strict UK law that does not apply in America – the ban on drinking alcohol in view of the pitch.
McElhenney added: “He was the only one to get busted drinking alcohol because he didn’t know.
“I mean, what people truly don’t understand is Americans we don’t understand that rule, we didn’t know that was a rule.
“So he was sitting outside in the box drinking a beer and nobody noticed or didn’t say anything and somebody took a still frame and texted it to me.
“They said, ‘Get your boy off the balcony or you’re going to get a fine.’
“And of course he ran back inside because he had no idea what the law was and that’s something he’ll take to his grave.”
