Fans have been left baffled by a bizarre map of England’s football clubs on the new Wrexham documentary.
Welcome to Wrexham – which is broadcast on FX and Disney Plus – is currently in its second season, with episodes being released weekly.
The club’s historic promotion back to the Football League for the first time in 15 years is charted during the show as the Red Dragons embarked on a fierce battle with Notts County, who eventually went up through the play-offs.
However, during the airing of a recent episode, eagle-eyed fans noticed something was off during a segment that showed where several clubs were based around the UK.
While the team who are owned by Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds were in their rightful spot on the map in North Wales, they were joined in the country by Everton, Rochdale, Shrewsbury, despite those three clubs being based in England.

In fact, Everton, who have always played in the city of Liverpool, were positioned near Anglesey in north west Wales.
Meanwhile, Cardiff City and Swansea City are known for their fierce derbies in south Wales, but both teams seem to be positioned somewhere between Devon and Cornwall.
London club QPR are west of Oxford and placed on the Welsh border, along with Staffordshire side Stoke City.
Furthermore, despite being just around the corner from the Hoops in west London, Brentford are the joint-most northerly club on the map alongside Blyth Spartans.
Nottingham Forest are based along the east coast, while League One high-flyers Stevenage are positioned next to Portsmouth on the south coast even though they are actually north of Watford in Hertfordshire.
Elsewhere, the area of London sees Arsenal join Watford, however the Gunners are in south London rather than north.
Newcastle are also seemingly to the south west of Leeds, somewhere around where Bradford should be, despite being located more than 110 miles to the north east of Elland Road.
Football fans couldn’t quite believe the map, with several teams positioned in the wrong place
Wrexham returned to the EFL following a 15-year absence after they won the National League
Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End are both located in Lancashire, but North End have been moved over to East Yorkshire, while Rovers are closer to Dumfries in Scotland than they are to Manchester.
And supporters couldn’t quite believe what they were seeing as one said: ‘What in the f*** is this? Did the person responsible of this map @WrexhamFX have a brain?’
Meanwhile, another added: ‘What an abomination,’ before a further user joked: ‘Always said the Blyth Spartans vs Brentford was the most feared derby in football.’
More fans piled in as they continued: ‘QPR on the border, it’s shambolic,’ as one other said: ‘Swansea and Cardiff in Devon,’ before a final supporter joked: ‘Wrexham can’t overtake Everton as the biggest team in Wales.’
