Wrexham footballers have been promoted for the second year in a row.
After last year’s title in the National League, the fifth level in England, the team has secured a promotion spot in League Two thanks to a 6-0 win over Forest Green Rovers. Next season Wrexham will play in League One, the third tier in England.
Documentary series
The club has gained worldwide fame in recent years thanks to the documentary series ‘Welcome to Wrexham’. The club and owners and Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were closely followed.
Welsh Wrexham had to beat Forest Green and hope to lose points to competitors MK Dons and Barrow to secure promotion two games before the end of the regular season.
When Wrexham was already 4-0 ahead at half-time, the celebration was almost over. When it became known that both competitors had lost, the champagne could be uncorked.
Despite a call from the club not to enter the field afterwards, the field filled with fans after the final whistle and an old-fashioned ‘pitch invasion’ ensued.
