A valuable lesson from Phil Parkinson about football club owners.

He's referred to how Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have let him manage and get on with his job.

Many, many clubs in the EFL and above could probably take a long look at how Wrexham have gone about things.

Wrexham were going nowhere when these Hollywood actors got involved. But it's the hope for all football fans that maybe something special will happen to our club.

And it's the perfect way to end this mammoth day of live football in Leagues One and Two.

Thank you for joining us everyone.

James: Jamie Vardy to Wrexham?

Anon: Good luck in the Championship Wrexham, out with one Welsh club and in with another.

Anon: These boys made us proud. Thank you Rob and Ryan for instilling new life in this town. Two of my patients who had major surgery yesterday breezed through their physio to get home to watch the game!! The community has been buzzing for last four years and we owe you for that!

Don't forget to put names on your messages!

Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson speaking to Sky Sports:

"I really enjoyed that, It's important that when the big games come you put in a big performance and we did that.

"I want to savour the moment, the division's been strong this year but all our players have stepped up and adapted so well, the mentality in the group was so strong.

"We focused tonight and when the third goal went in it was just a perfect moment."

Nobody was quite sure how Wrexham would do in League One after promotion 12 months ago.

Yes, they had Hollywood backing and money, but clubs like Huddersfield, Bolton, Birmingham were lying in wait.

But Wrexham have proved more than a match for everyone in the third tier. They started with 13 points out of 15 and they have been threatening to do this all season.

Congratulations to the Dragons!

As Wrexham celebrate promotion, they will replace Cardiff in the Championship next season.

Nico: As a Dutchman living in England the meteoric rise of Wrexham has been truly stunning and a joy to watch. It just shows what having fantastic owners that really care about the club and the impact it has on the local community. Congratulations Wrexham.

Anon: Congratulations Ryan Reynolds, you are officially Mr Incredible.

Wrexham's Sam Smith speaking to Sky Sports:

“Two goals, promoted, job done”

“It’s been an incredible few months and I signed for times like this, there’s been a real calmness in the group since we have been here.

“The stadium and atmosphere is incredible, it’s a massive club and a big project, it will be a special week now.”

A fan on television sums it up perfectly.

"Wrexham in the Championship! Wrexham in the Championship!"

Who would have believed this was possible four years ago, three years ago, even last summer?

Wrexham's Steven Fletcher speaking to Sky Sports:

"What a feeling, it’s incredible.

"For this club to go back to back to back is amazing and something special, it gets better each time.

"We want to go again, it’s a big ask but we’ll reset and the sky is the limit with this club."

Wrexham's Paul Mullin speaking to Sky Sports:

"It’s been a real team effort.

"The team this year has been unbelievable and it has been some journey. Look at these fans here, they really deserve it and I’m so happy for everyone involved.

"We have to enjoy every moment, I was asked why Wrexham when I signed, this is the answer right here."

When Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over at Wrexham in 2021, they were in the National League playing teams like Weymouth and Kings Lynn.

Next season they will be playing 2016 Premier League winners Leicester.

What a Hollywood story!

Here it is in black and white.

Wrexham are going to the Championship.

It played out perfectly for Wrexham.

The fans would have been nervous but it was beautiful for them, those early goals calmed everyone down.

It was as comfortable as it could be in the second half, the defensive solidity they have built compared to last year has been the real difference this campaign.

Wrexham's win means it is the play-offs for defeated opponents Charlton, plus Wycombe and Stockport.

One of those three plus either Leyton Orient or Reading will join Birmingham and Wrexham in the Championship.

The fans stream onto the pitch as the whistle sounds.

The players are lifted onto shoulders. Phil Parkinson hugs his backroom team.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney celebrate in the stands.

The Wrexham story writes another glorious chapter.

Wrexham return to the second tier for the first time since 1982!

The stewards are in place around the edge of the pitch. Not sure they are going to have much chance to stop what is coming next!

Three minutes to go before promotion for Wrexham is rubber-stamped!

Former Millwall forward on Sky Sports

The pass and concentration for Sam Smith's first goal is fantastic.

In the opening half hour he was electric today, he dominated Charlton's back line.

A good afternoon's work and some!
