  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Reynolds and McElhenney, who helped to put an award-winning documentary series in place, have never shied away from the fact that they want to see Wrexham reach the Premier League.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  WHAT EFL PUNDIT SAID

  Former Wycombe defender turned EFL pundit Joe Jacobson has told : "Wrexham’s a little bit different. Yes, they have the money, but it feels like they have a lot of players, and their squad at the moment is geared towards just getting out of that division.

  "They did it in the Conference, they did it in League Two, and now they’re doing it in League One, just getting the best players for that division there and then. It’s not like they’re signing players for a five-year plan and for the future – it’s instant success."
