The Welsh team, which is owned by accomplished actor Ryan Reynolds, accomplished promotion to the third tier of English soccer through an impressive 6-0 triumph at their home grounds over Forest Green on Saturday.
The team has successfully secured back-to-back promotions, signifying a momentous achievement following the acknowledgment gained as a result of the substantial investment made by its Hollywood proprietors. Presently, it finds itself a mere two tiers below the revered Premier League.
"This exhilarating experience marks the ride of our lives," Reynolds expressed on X (formerly known as Twitter), following the conclusion of the game.
To achieve automatic promotion to League One with two rounds remaining, Wrexham needed to secure victories against Forest Green, in addition to relying on MK Dons and Barrow dropping points.
The outcome of the match between Wrexham and their opponents was never uncertain, as Wrexham established a substantial lead of 4-0 by halftime. In contrast, MK Dons wasted an early advantage and experienced a disheartening defeat of 4-1 on their own ground against Mansfield. Additionally, Barrow suffered a 3-0 loss to Gillingham. This result led to widespread jubilation among the supporters at Wrexham, who disregarded the club's previous warnings to remain in their assigned seats by entering the field.
Wrexham currently holds second place in League Two, trailing leader Stockport by a margin of four points. Stockport successfully secured their promotion on Saturday. The top three teams in the league are granted automatic promotion to League One, and MK Dons, who currently hold the fourth position, are no longer in a position to surpass Wrexham.
"In the year 2021, Reynolds and his colleague, Rob McElhenney, obtained a relatively unknown club for a significant amount of $2.5 million."
The team was able to secure the National League title in the previous season, which marked their eagerly anticipated comeback to the English Football League (EFL) after a hiatus of 15 years. Notably, this accomplishment stands as the initial occurrence in the club's 159-year chronicle of consecutively attaining promotions.
A few years ago, if someone had predicted that I would experience overwhelming joy and shed tears over a football match in North Wales, I would have considered it an absurd idea. However, today, I, Rob McElhenney, find myself in this very situation. I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Wrexham and my highly respected co-chairman. Let us strive to further elevate our beloved town!
The extraordinary expedition of the team has been chronicled in the acclaimed television series titled "Welcome to Wrexham."
