Blackburn troll Wrexham with viral documentary reference after drawing them in the FA Cup

Blackburn seized their opportunity.

Blackburn have trolled Wrexham ahead of their FA Cup fourth round tie later this month - by referencing a specific moment from the club's Disney+ documentary.

The second season of 'Welcome to Wrexham' premiered in November, and sees the club gain promotion into the Football League under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

The Hollywood story has continued this season, with Phil Parkinson's flying high in League Two and securing a spot in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

They knocked out League One opposition in Shrewsbury Town in the third round. There was pre-match controversy, though, after Shrews defender Tom Flanagan had claimed that Wrexham were 'full of semi-pro players' last season before their promotion from the National League.

The Red Dragons now face a tougher test in round four in the form of Blackburn.

And while Jon Dahl Tomasson's side have lost six of their last eight games in the Championship, amid defensive frailties, they will still go into the game as favourites.

And the club's X (Twitter) account took the opportunity to mock their lower league opposition - with a reference to a map of UK teams that featured on Wrexham's Disney+ documentary.

The map, which featured badges of the teams still remaining in the FA Cup at this stage last season, positioned Blackburn's logo on the England-Scotland border - much to the amusement of the club's social media team at the time.

And they went one step further after the draw was made, writing on Twitter: "See you soon Wrexham! Let us know if you need directions?"


Wrexham's official English account hasn't yet replied to Rovers' post, although the club's Brazilian account did simply comment: "Well played."

The Red Dragons, though, will hope to get one over on the Championship side on the pitch at Ewood Park, and go one round further than they did in last season's FA Cup.
