The popular “Welcome to Wrexham” documentary, produced by co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, is now under fire for a glaringly inaccurate map of British football clubs.

While the series has garnered praise for its insights into the world of lower league football following the club’s takeover in 2021, a geographic gaffe has sparked laughter and criticism.

This FX Network documentary has showcased Wrexham’s journey on and off the pitch during an unforgettable chapter in the club’s storied history. While Reynolds and McElhenney have frequently stolen the spotlight, other figures like star striker Paul Mullin and local pub owner Wayne Jones have gained recognition.

The show’s success has contributed to raising Wrexham’s profile, particularly in the United States. However, the second series has drawn questions regarding an odd map purporting to depict the locations of various UK football teams.

One glaring misstep on this map places Premier League side Brentford, located in west London, in the North East. The response from Brentford’s official social media was quick and humorous: “We’re just a bus stop in Hexham.”

The map has also raised eyebrows for erroneously placing teams like Blackburn, Newcastle, Everton, Cardiff, and Swansea in inaccurate geographical locations.

Football enthusiasts across Britain are finding humour at Wrexham’s expense as they share in the fun of this geographical gaffe. Despite this hiccup, “Welcome to Wrexham” remains a compelling insight into the world of football and the adventures of a club with new, high-profile owners.
