Rob McElhenney's Mac's Tavern announces it is set to close
Since Rob McElhenney - who jointly-owns the venue - became Wrexham AFC co-chairman, it had been known to regularly show Reds matches when they were on.
It was a place where Philadelphia Reds - and those who travelled from overseas - could gather to share their love of all things Wrexham.
Rob and his wife and fellow It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Kaitlin Olson bought what was previously known as the Skinner's Bar and renamed it Mac's Tavern in homage to his character in that show.
The bar itself features in many episodes of the long-running series and also in the Welcome to Wrexham documentary, where Rob and others gathered to watch a Wrexham match live from the venue.
But, now it looks like the bar is set to close much to the sadness of many who have visited it down the years.
Posting on Facebook this week, the Mac's Tavern team wrote; "To all those who have loved, enjoyed and frequented this establishment for over 15 years, we thank you.
"When we opened this bar, our hope was to create a welcoming, down-to-Earth place where people could gather, share stories, laugh a little too loudly and enjoy a drink or two among friends.

They added; "What we got in return was so much more; a vibrant, loyal, and loving community that made Mac's Tavern feel like home - not just to us and the staff, but to everyone who walked through the doors.
"From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support over the years. We're proud of what we built, but even more proud of what you made it into.
"Though Mac's Tavern may be closing, our gratitude to you will remain open - and overflowing - forever."

Declan Swans guitarist Mark Jones said: "A great bar, sorry to hear you're closing."
Rob Williamson said: "So sorry to hear this. Mac's has been a great host venue for our darts team for many years now."
John Joseph wrote; "Sad to see you guys go it was always a great atmosphere and amazing food - best of luck on the next venture / chapter."
Bridget Delaney said: "Thanks for the memories! Watching the Super Bowl Championship Parade Ceremony back in February was an awesome experience I'll have with me forever."
Bob McKee added: "End of an era for sure. Incredible run. Fun place that matched your goals. Glad I got to visit whenever I was back in Philly."

Wrexham owner makes Premier League comment for the first time as fan worries emerge
Wrexham owner makes Premier League comment for the first time as fan worries emerge Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney has revealed that the club's ambitions go beyond just reaching the Premier League, as he shared the concerns some fans have raised Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds' ultimate goal is to help Wrexham lift the Premier League title (Image: Leon Bennett/The Hollywood Reporter via Getty Images) Rob McElhenney has unveiled an ambitious new target for Wrexham to clinch the Premier League title. The North Wales club have experienced remarkable success under the joint ownership of the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator and fellow Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds. Following their acquisition by the duo in February 2021, Wrexham have been catapulted from the National League into the Championship after securing three consecutive promotions. The celebrity owners have made their intentions crystal clear from the outset - to guide the Red Dragons all the way to the top flight. McElhenney, who has recently applied to officially change his name to Rob Mac, has now disclosed that their aspirations extend beyond merely making up the numbers, with the ultimate prize being Premier League title glory. However, whilst the 48-year-old is keen to achieve that milestone at the earliest opportunity, he emphasised during an interview with S4C that progress must be built on solid foundations. When questioned about whether Premier League status remained within reach, McElhenney said: "That's the way the pyramid is set up and why not us? Why should that be reserved for other towns, for other cities? "It doesn't mean it's going to be easy and it doesn't mean that it's just going to happen quickly. It could take many, many years for it to happen. We're going to make a push to do it as quickly as possible, because we don't know any other way to do it, but we're going to do it the right way." Article continues below Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney wants to achieve success in step with the community's wishes (Image: S4C) Whilst many supporters might relish the possibility of challenging for the top flight, McElhenney revealed how some Wrexham fans had voiced reservations to him. He explained this stemmed from the potential consequences for their club, which has never competed in the Premier League, alongside insufficient supporting infrastructure. Wrexham's home stadium, the Racecourse Ground, is currently operating at a diminished capacity of approximately 10,000 this season as construction work on a new stand takes place. Additionally, the club remains without a permanent training base following the previous loss of ownership of their former facility at Colliers Park near Wrexham. "We're going to do it [reach the Premier League] in the same way that we've been doing it from day one, which is asking the town," McElhenney said. "I sort of jumped the gun early on and just assumed that that's what the people of the town wanted for their club, and that that wasn't necessarily the case. "I had a lot of very long conversations with people that said, 'Well, we might not be ready for that. The town might not be ready for that and the club might not be ready for that.'

It was a crazy pipe dream four or five years ago where we got laughed at by the media and by the world, but I don't think anybody's laughing anymore." He added: "We don't want to build something that's unsustainable. As glorious as it might be to be promoted to the Premier League, it would be equally as tragic to be relegated again, because that can very quickly create that spiral downwards. "Is the ultimate goal the Premier League? Yes, of course. Is it winning the Premier League? Yes, of course. But that actually isn't the number one goal. The number one goal is building something for the next generation and leaving something behind that is sustainable for the rest of its existence."

Wrexham owner wants to WIN the Premier League as fan concerns shared – 'Not laughing now'
Wrexham's Hollywood co-owners have disclosed their lofty aim to win the Premier League someday, while also stressing the need for the Welsh club to grow sustainably Rob McElhenney has revealed an audacious new goal for Wrexham to win the Premier League. The Welsh side have enjoyed unprecedented success under the co-ownership of the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator and fellow Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds. Since being bought by the two actors in February 2021, Wrexham have been propelled from the National League into the Championship after achieving three promotions in a row. The A-list pair have made it clear from day one that they want to take the Red Dragons all the way to the top flight. McElhenney, who recently filed to legally change his name to Rob Mac, has now said that their ambition stretches even further than that as they aim to one day lift the Premier League title. However, while the 48-year-old is eager to reach that target as soon as possible, he stressed in an interview with Welsh broadcaster S4C that it would need to be done in a sustainable manner. When asked whether he still thought Premier League status was achievable, McElhenney said: "That's the way the pyramid is set up and why not us? Why should that be reserved for other towns, for other cities? "It doesn't mean it's going to be easy and it doesn't mean that it's just going to happen quickly. It could take many, many years for it to happen. We're going to make a push to do it as quickly as possible, because we don't know any other way to do it, but we're going to do it the right way." While many fans might welcome the prospect of pushing for the top tier, McElhenney disclosed how some Wrexham supporters had expressed concerns to him. He said this was due to the impact it would have on their club, which has never played in the Premier League, and a lack of supporting infrastructure. Wrexham's home stadium, the Racecourse Ground, has a reduced capacity of around 10,000 this season while work to build a new stand takes place. Meanwhile, the club is still without a permanent training facility after previously losing ownership of its old base at Colliers Park near Wrexham.

Gareth Bale's massive new business empire as he warns Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham
Gareth Bale's massive new business empire as he warns Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham Former Wales captain Gareth Bale has been mistaken for Christian Bale on more than one occasion. Wales legend Gareth Bale spoke about the potential takeover of Cardiff City and what he would want to achieve with his hometown club. (Image: Boardroom) Gareth Bale has opened up on his post-football business empire, potential takeover of Cardiff City, ambition to take the club past Wrexham and being mistaken for Hollywood actor Christian Bale. The football legend appeared as a guest on Boardroom's YouTube channel, which features some of the biggest names in pop culture. Real Madrid icon Bale was recently revealed as the latest addition to TNT Sports' Premier League and Champions League punditry team for the upcoming season, and replaces Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand. He has previously appeared as an occasional pundit but will now be a main fixture going forward. Alongside his work in media, Bale is working hard to expand his business empire. The Welshman already owns Elevens Bar and Par 59 in Cardiff city centre, but is now aiming to take ownership of Cardiff City alongside a consortium of investors. Bale was asked about his intention to buy hometown club Cardiff, and revealed exactly why he wants to do so. "I suggested about my home team," answered Bale. "It's one that's been on the decline for a few years now and has such massive potential, being a one city club. We are looking forward to the response, we would love to get ownership of it and take the club back to where we think it belongs." Article continues below This interview with Bale was conducted several weeks ago before news broke at the beginning of August that Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman has dismissed the speculation around the club being sold imminently as "fiction". He added that current owner Vincent Tan is not interested in selling the club right now. Wales legend Bale was asked by Boardroom about the recent success of Ryan Reynolds at Wrexham, and what it's like for him to see them thriving. "I think what they've done on the pitch, getting three promotions in a row is unheard of," answered Bale. "It's all credit to what they're doing. They've done a great job. Being Welsh and seeing another Welsh team do well is good for Welsh football. Hopefully they continue to do well." But he warned: "If we get Cardiff, hopefully we go past them!" Touching again on Cardiff, Bale was asked what it would mean to take Cardiff back to the Premier League, where they have not played since the 2018/2019 season. "It would mean everything," said Bale. "It's something that is on my radar. I would love to do something to give the Cardiff fans. Being from Wales, being Welsh, being born there, I know how passionate the Cardiff City fans are about their club. It has been a disappointing few years for the club. "A couple of relegations and the club feels really stagnant, so to bring some excitement back to push in the right direction, to give them something to look forward to would be the start. "And then the dream for every team is obviously to get to the Premier League, it's a very tough task but something I would for sure love to do." Being one of the best players on the planet in his prime, Bale was on a massive contract with Real Madrid, reportedly earning close to £600,000 per week. Thanks to a fine career at the top level, Bale has been able to invest into business and offer his expertise as a pundit. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Bale is worth £107 million, while he has been a regular figure on the Sunday Times Rich List over the years. It's also estimated that Bale received over £6 million per year purely in endorsements during his playing career. Thanks to his time at the elite level, Bale has been, and is currently, affiliated with Adidas, Lucozade and now golf-related brands. He reportedly earns £137,000 per sponsored Instagram post. Speaking about his brand partnerships to Boardroom, Bale identified three that resonate well with him. "I like to work with brands that align with me," began Bale. "I've been with Adidas since I started my career. We've gone from the football side to golf, where I'm involved a little bit more. Just enjoying working with that brand, throughout my whole career they have been amazing with me. "I do that with Heineken 0.0, because I don't drink. Promoting a 0.0 drink is something that fits in with me, aligns with me. Even the clothes I wear, I like to try and be involved with Hugo Boss. It's all just organic. When it is organic, it's able to naturally grow." As well as trying to purchase Cardiff and media commitments, Bale revealed what other avenues of business he is involved in. "We've invested in commercial and residential property, we've got some sports bars which are kind of fun things to do," he continued. "So we have branched out in different areas, we have investments in other areas as well. Just trying to build those pillars… maybe if one pillar gets knocked down, they're still able to hold up the building. To try and diversify as much as we can." When asked who would play him in a movie, the former Tottenham Hotspur winger said Christian Bale, and even revealed that he gets mistaken for the Hollywood actor on occasion. "Christian Bale," he answered. "It goes with the name, right? I have been mistaken for Christian Bale before." Article continues below "Have they said: 'Batman! Batman!' or something?," asked the Boardroom interviewer. "No, they just shout Christian, so they've obviously got things a little bit muddled up," said Bale. "Do you think people mistake him for Gareth?," asked the interviewer. "You're going to have to ask him, I don't know!," added Bale.
