Welsh soccer club Wrexham on Saturday earned its "second consecutive promotion, this time to League One" -- English soccer's third tier -- following a 6-0 win over Forest Green Rovers. Following the final whistle, fans of the club, owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney , “rushed the field to celebrate their return to the division for the first time in 19 years.” The popularity of Wrexham has risen in recent years “partly as a result of the success" of the FX docuseries “Welcome to Wrexham,” which will be "heading into its third season next month" ( CNN.com, 4/14 ).
