Wrexham – aim has always been the Premier League

As the latest round of Wrexham promotion celebrations continued long after the final whistle rang on their 3-0 victory over Charlton, Ryan Reynolds did not budge from either his line or the pitch.

The Championship will work just fine for Reynolds, Wrexham, and for the moment.

The club’s highest standing in their 161 Years is at a level that they haven’t reached in more than 40 years. This is unique even for a club that is quickly accustomed to success and the absurd.

After 15 years, leaving the non-league was a relief. It should not come as a surprise if League Two was to resume. a third in its own right? Who said trilogies never gained popularity.

Anyone who did, according to Barry Horne, the former Wales and Wrexham captain, is lying.

The Stok Cae Ras, with a London side still pursuing their own promotion ambitions, appeared to be ready for this from the moment Reynolds and co-chairman Rob McElhenney set foot on the field almost five hours before the decision.

There were few in the ground to see Reynolds celebrate as rivals Wycombe Wanderers lost in their opening kick-off as the sounds from the nearby Turf pub confirmed a crucial goal in Wrexham’s favor well before the A-listers had kicked a ball.

If Wrexham and all the spotlight can be considered a circus – as Charlton boss Nathan Jones had put it before the game – then Parkinson has been the master of the ring..

He has acted as the calm, controlling hand in the chaos despite being persuaded to leave and enter non-league after Rob McElhenney’s protracted transatlantic call.

After the game, he was interrupted by that same co-owner as he made a pitch to reporters. The creator of Always Sunny quickly raised the emotion from a hug to an exchange for a kiss.

However, Parkinson has always handled the emotion effectively. The 57-year-old, who has dealt with the Hollywood snooze and has consistently delivered three times, stepped out to finish his pre-game media duties. He comes to life in this.

The annual pitch invasion began when Wrexham beat Charlton to “football in the circus,” chants the supporters, some of whom wore jesters hats. No one is currently laughing at Wrexham.

However, there were a few smiles that were almost invisible in the pyrotechnic fog off the sea of bodies that had occupied the pitch for the third time in a row.

Some fans left seats before the final whistle to search for friends, but some didn’t make it down to the pitch itself.

What was ultimately left was a hint of the past, present, and future on a day of history when the pitch invaders finally returned to the stands to allow for the presentation.

Geraint Parry was present as players honed their respective fans, one stand at a time. He had been the club’s secretary for decades as supporters waited outside to offer life savings to ensure the club could spend the entire season.

He then held onto a bottle of EFL champagne, where he once held hope. He laughed at the contempt for how things had turned out. Wrexham once struggled to capture the imagination of the locals, but he is now attracting attention from all over the world.

Gareth Owen, a midfielder from Wrexham last played in the football pyramid before Cardiff and Swansea, was next. He looked on as Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively watched him celebrate the success of a north Wales club after suffering a devastating stroke two years ago despite making remarkable progress. He sighed and shared a private selfie with the couple as they celebrated the occasion.

Mickey Thomas, a member of the team that last advanced to this level in 1978, was also a star known for that goal against Arsenal.

Wrexham legend Thomas, who admits that during his time working for former club Manchester United, people stopped him and inquired about events at the Cae Ras rather than Old Trafford. “I’m not sure I can believe it,” said the former player.

Since they were 15-year-old apprentices at Wrexham, he had made one of his regular visits to Liverpool legend Joey Jones, or “Sir Joey,” to see their best friend, who had never seen the previous Wycombe game.

Jones, who turned 70 last year, is unable to play games on the same field where he devoted himself to being a player, assistant manager, and source of valuable talent that few others had an interest in.

However, Thomas said, “This will make him feel better.”

The diggers are ready to begin building a new Kop stand. The next season’s planning meetings are already underway.

And they were accompanied by the enthusiastic celebrations by relatively new investors from the Allyn family in New York, who were equally excited about the day’s prospects.

Anything is possible, in their opinion, along with their financial backing and Hollywood profile.

Tomorrow will be that, though.

The goal will always be the Premier League as Reynolds and McElhenney finally leave the field.
