Rob McElhenney, co-owner of Wrexham AFC, expressed gratitude for the exceptional display of humanity shown by both the supporters and staff of Wycombe Wanderers. This sentiment arose following a medical emergency involving a Wrexham fan during their recent League One match at Adams Park.

Incident Overview

The match, which took place during a crucial promotion push for both teams, was temporarily suspended for nearly 45 minutes in the 77th minute due to a medical incident affecting a supporter in the visiting section. At that time, the score was level at 0-0.

A subsequent statement from Wrexham confirmed that the fan is now recovering in hospital. The club expressed their support, stating, “Wrexham can confirm the supporter who suffered a medical emergency at the match against Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday is now recovering in hospital … All at Wrexham would like to send the supporter our very best wishes for their recovery.”

Community Response

McElhenney acknowledged the prompt and efficient actions taken by the medical staff present at the game. In a follow-up communication via social media, he stated, “As more information comes to light, it’s becoming even more apparent that our supporters, Wycombe staff, and Wycombe supporters worked together to save someone’s life. We cannot thank you enough, Wycombe. What a brilliant show of humanity. You are a beautiful organization.”

Match Outcome

Despite the interruption, Wrexham managed to secure a 1-0 victory, which propelled them above Wycombe in the League One standings, placing them in second with nine matches left in the season.

Ambitions for Promotion

Since acquiring the club in 2021, Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have been on a mission to elevate Wrexham AFC. The team aspires to achieve a third consecutive promotion, inching closer to the second-tier Championship, and ultimately the Premier League, a goal shared by both owners.
