Ryan Reynolds have been answered media questions in a stand on the Wrexham field for three and a half years, including the apparently absurd concept that the club could play in the Premier League on its watch.
“We would lie if the dream was not the first League,” he replied. “We want to configure a structure … Unless there is a meteor and we are f **** d. The club had just lost 3-2 to Maidenhead at the time and took a Torquay the next day.
This prospect got closer to extraordinary reality yesterday when the club became the first in the history of football to win non-bite on the second level in three consecutive seasons.
There was little pressure against Charlton Athletic, whose 4-0 victory in Wycombe last week had opened this door to Wrexham, with the manager of the visiting team Nathan Jones offering some documentary gold, declaring that Wrexham was `a circus ”.
The ironic songs of “football in a circus” were immediate and in the 20 minutes, the dream of football in Leicester, Southampton and Norwich a real prospect, with two goals from Wrexham in three minutes.
The second paid a priceless dividend for his record in mid -winter investment of £ 592,000 in striker Sam Smith, on a salary of £ 12,000 per week.

Smith did not set fire to the club, but his pivot to meet and the protruding ball of Volley Matty James was more than sufficient.
He doubled his head established by Ollie Rathbone, the purchase of previous record, at £ 375,000 from Rotherham last summer, which had grasped Matty James’ ball after a short corner and scored from the edge of the box.
Smith confirmed its value – and its promotion – ten minutes from time, meeting Max Cleworth’s house cross to go home the third.
In short, while Wrexham held his advance in the second half, there was a cover of the song of Paul Mullin which was the soundtrack of his two superb seasons while they were fighting and won the promotion of the National League.
Mullin, who has not been in a team since January 4, cut a solitary silhouette, looking at the floor of the non -playing staff seats, 15 minutes before kick -off.
He quickly became the story in the middle of a rise exceeding Swansea and the three Wimbledon promotions in four seasons. The invasion of the post-match field was paid for a shipment for him.
Reynolds and Rob Mcelhenney struggled in manically when the goals turned out to be.
The owners were well informed during the recruitment of Phil Parkinson as a manager. For him, this is a sixth promotion over two decades with four different clubs. Charlton’s Jones, meanwhile, must sail in the play-offs.
The feeling of a historic day in the manufacture was built in the city center of Wrexham in the afternoon, while those wrapped in the pubs showing the game at Wycombe’s lunchtime saw the last episode of the collapse of the rival team.

The social bar Hill St broke out at the sounds of “back to back” – stenography for the three successive promotions – a little before 2.15, when Orient marked, which means that a victory would send Wrexham.
The symmetries were undoubtedly for those who have longer memories. It is the equivalent weekend of the 1977/78 season that a 7-1 victory at home against Rotherham United has sealed promotion on the second level.
The theoretical possibility of a fourth promotion will make the club a great championship history, although simply surviving at this level seems a challenge. A wholesale reconstruction of an aging team will be necessary.
Everything for another day. While Wrexham went up again, the Welsh rivals of Cardiff City fell in Ligue 1.. Barely credible for a club that struck along the lower sections for so long.
