Wrexham have grown on and off the pitch at a staggering pace in recent years since the takeover in 2021.
The Wrexham owners have enjoyed some great memories in the four years that they have had at the club and have taken a Wrexham side from mid table obscurity in the National League to League One promotion contenders.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have certainly put their best efforts into progressing and developing the club, the Wrexham owners have lost a staggering amount of money through their investments.
However, it is clear that the club is in arguably its strongest position ever and things look set to keep on improving at the club with new plans for the Racecourse Ground gathering pace all the time.

Michael Williamson announces plans to invest in £1m pitch for the Racecourse Ground
Speaking to The Leader, Chief Executive Michael Williamson has been discussing plans to invest in the pitch at the Racecourse Ground for it to be similar to the pitch at the San Siro in Milan.
Williamson, who spent some time working at Inter Milan, stated: “There’s a lot of things going into a very top level pitch here at The Stok Cae Ras. We are re-doing the drainage system and putting a state of the art underground heating system in place.”
The Chief executive then went on to explain how the turf itself will be state-of-the-art and be in line with FIFA and UEFA requirements to allow international matches to be staged at Wrexham.
Williamson explained: “It is the same type of pitch we had at the San Siro, a stitch pitch that is hybrid grass and a stitch pitch where artificial grass meets FIFA and UEFA requirements. The advantage of that is it allows us to have more durability and sustainability of the pitch.”
Wrexham’s hopes of big European nights at the Racecourse put on hold with Welsh Cup proposal
As per the BBC, Wrexham’s dream of hosting European nights at the Racecourse Ground has been put on hold for a few more years as plans for the Welsh Cup have been rejected by the Football Association.
The proposal entailed the winners of the Welsh Cup being granted entry into the UEFA Conference League under the Welsh FA’s place, with Wrexham, Cardiff, Swansea and Newport all keen on the idea before it was quashed.
Darren Bent thinks Wrexham should be thrown out of the EFL if they were to participate in the competition but it now has been confirmed that the Red Dragons will have to find a more traditional route into Europe.
The club will soon have a pitch and stadium to sit proud among the standings in Europe, now the team needs to work hard to gain promotion out of League One and let the journey continue under Reynolds and McElhenney.
