What is the League One attendance record after Birmingham City v Wrexham sells out?
It’s being branded the ‘Hollywood Derby’ in some quarters as Birmingham, owned by Tom Wagner and Tom Brady, take on Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney owned Wrexham. Brady is of course known for being arguably the greatest quarter-back in the history of the NFL, whilst Reynolds is best known for playing Marvel superhero Deadpool.
Both teams have seen their fan bases grown over the last 12 months, as they try and tap in to the worldwide market. Wrexham have a documentary on Disney+ called Welcome to Wrexham, whilst Birmingham are the team in the division which has a target on their back, after spending at least £15m on Jay Stansfield, smashing the transfer record for League One
When the fixtures came out, Sky Sports knew they had to show the fixture, and it will be interesting to see what kind of viewing figures they get. Blues will have gone nearly two weeks without a fixture because of their game against Exeter City being called off due to international call-ups, meanwhile Wrexham played Shrewsbury Town at the weekend, and Salford City on Tuesday night.
