WREXHAM were forced to play in “nightmare” conditions as fog wreaked havoc for players on the pitch.
The Welsh side – co-owned by Hollywood star Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds – hosted Blackpool on Boxing Day.

But the weather was forecast for nine degrees with cloud and winds.
What turned out to be was a pitch full of fog, making it hard for players at times to even see the yellow match ball.
Blackpool took the lead after three minutes as Ashley Fletcher converted from a cross.
But Sky Sports News’ cameras barely caught the moment Fletcher scored past keeper Mark Howard.
One fan said: “Watching this Wrexham game and this fog has to make the V1/V2’s job a nightmare.”
Another added: “This fog is getting worst.”
One joked: “How did he see where the goal was with all the fog?”
Another said: “Can barely see a thing.”

Wrexham did pull level on 24 minutes thanks to star striker Paul Mullin.
The forward celebrated by pulling on a Deadpool mask – paying homage to co-owner Reynolds.
Mullin even had a cameo in the third instalment of the Marvel movie series – playing “Welshpool.”
