Wrexham AFC, a club with a rich history and a passionate fan base, has achieved back-to-back promotions, propelling them from the depths of non-league football to the third tier of English football in just a short period of time. The club’s co-chairman, Ryan Reynolds, described it as “the ride of our lives,” capturing the excitement and joy felt by everyone associated with the club.
The journey to promotion was not an easy one, with the club facing financial challenges and the threat of relegation just a few years ago. However, with hard work, determination, and the support of their loyal fans, Wrexham managed to secure promotion in dramatic fashion.
The celebrations at the Racecourse were a sight to behold, with fans cheering and singing as the club’s promotion was confirmed. Manager Phil Parkinson, who has been a steady presence amidst the chaos, allowed himself a moment of celebration as the final results came in.
