Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney has been discussing the club’s players and the battle to secure promotion.

Wrexham can win promotion out of League One as early as Saturday evening, but results must go their way.

Wycombe Wanderers need to drop points to Leyton Orient in their fixture on April 26, which kicks off at 12:30pm UK time.

Meanwhile, Wrexham must beat Charlton Athletic at the Racecourse Ground at 5:30pm UK time.

Even if the Red Dragons don’t win against Nathan Jones’ team, promotion via second place will remain possible until the final day.

Why Rob McElhenney isn’t nervous about Wrexham

Wrexham are favourites to finish second, and excitement is building around the club going into the game.

Both Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds are in town for the Charlton clash, and the former has been speaking about the weekend’s action on Instagram.

Taking to his story this weekend, Rob revealed that he does not feel any nerves because of the players.

He said: “People keep asking if I’m nervous about this weekend. I swear I do not feel any nerves.

“And the only reason that is the case is because I spent the week with the players, and you know who’s not nervous? The players.”

Wrexham season still a major success without promotion

As already mentioned, it is the Red Dragons who are currently being backed to win promotion alongside Birmingham City.

Even if they don’t finish second, they will still be competing in the play-offs in a few weeks.

But should Wrexham fall short on both fronts, their 2024/25 season should still be classed as successful.

It was predicted the Red Dragons would finish 20th in League One before a ball had been kicked, and to make it into the top six and secure their highest league finish in 42 years is an achievement everyone at the club should be proud of, no matter what happens going forward.
