Wrexham are beginning to dream of Championship football following their 3-0 victory over Burton Albion.
Wrexham’s 3-0 win over Burton coupled with Wycombe’s 1-0 defeat at Reading has left Phil Parkinson’s side with League One promotion in their own destiny.
Win their remaining five fixtures and Wrexham will create history by becoming the first side to win three successive promotions.
The club are already preparing for the next step up in quality off the pitch, Michael Williamson wants to improve training facilities, whilst there have also been plans to improve the stadium.

Wrexham ranked as highest Welsh stadium in English Football League
As per the Mail Online, journalist Holt has been visiting all 92 grounds in the English Football League and has ranked the stadiums from best to worst.
Millwall ranked as the lowest ground in the EFL, whilst Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground ranked in 24th place – the highest on the list of any other Welsh outfits (Newport, Swansea and Cardiff).
What may infuriate Red Dragons fans is the winner of the list, Holt has ranked Stockport’s Edgeley Park as his favourite ground in the football league.
Humphrey Ker explained the ‘needle’ between Wrexham and Stockport in his comments during the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary and the clubs have been battling for promotion with each other in recent seasons.
What Oliver Holt said about Wrexham’s owners
During the article, Holt was complimentary about the history of the Racecourse Ground and recalled visiting North Wales frequently in the late 70s and early 80s.
Holt stated: “I went to a lot of games in Wrexham in the late 70s and early 80s. My best mate, Bryn, was from the town so when his Mum and Dad too him to visit family there, I went along and we headed for the Racecourse Ground.
“I’m not one of those who regards the Ryan Reynolds/Rob McElhenney takeover of the club with distaste. Nothing in football is ever quite as wholesome as it seems but so far, it feels as if it has been good for the club and for the town.”
Wrexham plan to improve matchday revenue with plans to build a new Kop Stand having been approved and owners Reynolds and McElhenney are certainly preparing the club for their rise through the divisions.
Holt explained: “I don’t know what their long-term motives are but they have poured a lot of money into the team and into the infrastructure, and the club is rising and rising through the leagues. It’s bringing more light into a community that has had its fair share of hard times.”
