Wrexham owner Rob McElhenney calls out EFL after what he saw in their match with Salford and wants answers

Wrexham owner Rob McElhenney has called out the EFL after the Red Dragons' win over Salford City.

Phil Parkinson's side won the 2-1 in the EFL trophy group stage clash, with Josh Austerfield's own goal the difference between the two sides at the SToK Cae Ras.

6,640 were in attendance at the ground for game, with plenty watching around the game.

Though Wrexham's global appeal means many of their games are shown live on TV, the Salford game was not one selected.

However, fans of EFL clubs do have the option to watch games on the iFollow subscription service.

A season subscription costs £110 but that was at the early bird price, with it going up to around £180.

But fans were left unsatisfied with coverage on Tuesday, with one American supporter sharing a video of her feed being scrambled and freezing.

She took to X and fumed: "Does this look like it’s worth $230 to you?".

But McElhenney, who owns Wrexham along with Ryan Reynolds, concurred and he too was not happy.

In replying to the user, the 47-year-old revealed he has been feeding back to the EFL about the issue.

He said: "No it does not. Not sure why it’s worse than the last two years. I’m asking all the same questions."

The fan appreciated the response from McElhenney, adding: "I figured as much! Hoping that McElhenney persistence might get them in gear. Appreciate you."

Wrexham's next game will be televised as they take on big-spending Birmingham City live on Sky Sports on Monday night.

League leaders Wrexham travel to St Andrew's to play Birmingham, where seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady has a 3.3 per cent share.

McElhenney has already started the fighting talk, taking to X to post: "See you next Monday @TomBrady ;) Should be an absolute banger @BCFC @Wrexham_AFC."
