Bristol Rovers fans trolled Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds by wearing masks of the Hollywood actor during their journey to the Racecourse Ground on Friday.<\/p>\n

Images circulated on social media showing the travelling supporters sporting Reynolds masks on their bus to Wales.<\/p>\n

The stunt came ahead of a crucial League One fixture between the two sides.<\/p>\n

Reynolds, who has become a prominent figure in football since purchasing Wrexham alongside Rob McElhenney, has overseen remarkable success at the Welsh club in recent years.<\/p>\n

This appears to have made him a target for rival supporters, with Bristol Rovers fans using the masks to mock the Hollywood star’s involvement with Wrexham.<\/p>\n

The match itself proved to be a tense affair with Bristol Rovers taking the lead in the 32nd minute through Taylor Moore.<\/p>\n

Despite starting the day in 21st place and in the relegation zone, the Gas put in a resilient performance against promotion-chasing Wrexham.<\/p>\n

Phil Parkinson’s side eventually managed to salvage a point when Matty James found the net in the 76th minute.<\/p>\n

The 1-1 draw was described as a “turgid afternoon of football” with both teams struggling to produce quality play.<\/p>\n

Bristol Rovers will have been pleased with the result, particularly after entering the match on the back of six consecutive defeats.<\/p>\n

The result had significant implications for Wrexham’s promotion hopes as they dropped from 2nd to 3rd place in League One.<\/p>\n

Wycombe Wanderers’ 1-0 victory away at Bolton Wanderers on the same day allowed them to leapfrog the Welsh side in the table.<\/p>\n

This slip in position comes as a disappointment for Wrexham, who had started the day just one point above Wycombe.<\/p>\n

Despite the setback, Wrexham’s current standing represents a remarkable achievement in their first season in League One.<\/p>\n

With three games remaining in the season, including an upcoming trip to Blackpool on Monday, Wrexham still have opportunities to reclaim their promotion position.<\/p>\n

While Reynolds wasn’t spotted at the Racecourse Ground for the match, his fellow co-owner Rob McElhenney was in attendance.<\/p>\n

McElhenney was seen in the executive box throughout the game watching the action unfold.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood star also took time to meet with supporters before kick-off, posing for photographs with fans.<\/p>\n

Whether McElhenney would have been impressed with what he witnessed remains questionable given the quality of play.<\/p>\n

Despite Reynolds’ absence, his presence was still felt through the masks worn by the travelling Bristol Rovers supporters.<\/p>\n
