Wrexham’s Hollywood-owned rise has been built not just on investment but on discipline — and a £500 fine is proof of that. Former goalkeeper Ben Foster has revealed that skipping the Red Dragons’ annual Christmas party comes with the heaviest punishment on the squad’s fines list, underlining the culture of unity set by Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac.

Wrexham's fine list revealed under Reynolds and Mac

Foster has lifted the lid on Wrexham’s internal fines system, revealing that the biggest penalty players face is for missing the team’s Christmas bash. The former England international spotted the list during a recent visit and was surprised to find a £500 sanction for failing to attend. It highlights the emphasis owners Reynolds and Mac have placed on togetherness off the pitch.

Foster shared his discovery on That Wrexham Podcast, saying: “We were in the changing rooms yesterday and we saw the current fines list. One of the fines that’s on there is for not turning up for the Christmas do and it’s the biggest fine on the list. It’s a £500 fine for not turning up to a Christmas do.”

Midfielder Andy Cannon backed the policy, insisting team bonding has been crucial to Wrexham’s success. "I think it's been key," Cannon said. "Some Championship clubs went to Vegas last year as well and I think there were only eight or nine people turning up. Then you're getting every single one of us going. On Christmas dos, I think it's the same because it's good to get everyone together. If you're on a Christmas do, you see a different side of people. You'd be surprised how teams can set off on a winning streak after Christmas dos. I've seen it before."

Wrexham have a subpar start to life in the Championship

Wrexham’s structured approach under Reynolds and Mac continues to shape their Championship campaign as they adapt to life in the second tier. With 10 points from their opening nine matches, the Red Dragons are learning fast in a more demanding environment. Maintaining the strong team bond that carried them through the lower leagues could prove vital in keeping their Hollywood story rolling.
