Cheers to Success

In a remarkable turn of events, Wrexham, the Welsh football team, has achieved an astounding 6-0 victory over Forest Green, securing back-to-back promotions. Tonight, Ryan Reynolds, co-owner of Wrexham, will be celebrating this incredible achievement with a glass of his own Aviation Gin.

The Red Dragons’ monumental victory, aided by MK Dons’ unexpected defeat to Mansfield, secures their promotion to League One football next season. This achievement brings joy to the club’s leaders, Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

After a decade and a half in the wilderness, Wrexham roared back into the Football League with last season’s promotion. But the Red Dragons weren’t content with just that they’ve now soared out of League Two. The match that sealed their fate was nothing short of a masterclass, with Phil Parkinson’s squad leading by a staggering five goals just past the hour mark.

In a departure from the National League, the top three gladiators in League Two are granted automatic promotion. This achievement is a first in Wrexham’s storied 159-year history back-to-back promotions. It’s been nearly two decades since the Red Dragons have graced the EFL’s third division.

In the landmark game, neither Reynolds nor McElhenny were in attendance. McElhenny, the creative force behind ‘Always Sunny in Philadelphia’, expressed his disappointment on Twitter for missing the live event, instead, he was following the action from Los Angeles.

Wrexham, also known as the Red Dragons, owe a debt of thanks to Mansfield. Their impressive 4-1 victory over MK Dons on their own ground played a crucial role in securing Wrexham’s position in League One for the upcoming season. The Hollywood duo, who took over the club in 2020, have been pivotal in orchestrating Wrexham’s resurgence.

Once the victory was set in stone, Wrexham’s fans couldn’t contain their joy and stormed the pitch, despite the club’s stern pre-match warning. The club had issued a statement reminding fans of the importance of preserving the pitch’s pristine condition, especially with a home game still on the horizon.

The club reminded fans that pitch invasion is not just a breach of conduct, but a criminal offence, with real-life ramifications. Some fans have been slapped with criminal records as a result, impacting their employment prospects, educational opportunities, and even international travel.
