With Wrexham poised for promotion, fans are thrilled

After the match, fans flocked to The Turf Hotel where they were served their drinks by the celebrities.

Mr Jones said: "I wasn't aware of it, they turned up with a camera crew and all the rest of it and jumped behind the bar and helped to give a few shots of whisky away to fans.

"Managed to grab a couple of seconds with them to say hi, to introduce myself to [Rob's] wife and Charlie and Glenn."

Conor McGregor's Forged Stout was also on sale at the pub on Monday to raise money for the autism charity, Your Space.

Mr Jones said: "I've still got to count it but we raised a good few quid on top of the £10,000 donation he (Conor McGregor) made to Your Space, an autism charity.

"I think it will be quite a significant sum and everybody enjoyed the drink."

Beverly Patterson Jones of Wrexham is looking forward to Saturday's match which could see the club return to the Football League.

David Thomas said Wrexham's journey so far is "like a dream"

Fellow fan David Thomas said: "I was here, me and my mates were all here, back when Wrexham were relegated out of the league.

"We have been through the whole journey, right from the success in the early '70s when I was a kid to where we are now.

"Then the whole cast suddenly appearing last night, you're thinking to yourself 'this isn't Wrexham is it'?"
