Wrexham's Premier League aspirations have been put on hold after the team failed to secure promotion. The club finished seventh in the Championship, its highest ever finish, following a 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough on the final day of the season. Despite the disappointment, fans showed pride in the team's achievements, with many having supported the club through its financial struggles 20 years ago. The team is now owned by celebrities Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who bought the club in 2021. Redevelopment work is underway at the Racecourse Ground, with plans to increase the stadium's capacity to 18,000 seats by 2027. The club's global profile has been boosted by the Emmy Award-winning TV series 'Welcome to Wrexham', which documents Reynolds' and McElhenney's ownership.
