“In 2020, Rob and Ryan teamed up to purchase the 5th-tier Red Dragons in the hopes of turning the Club into an underdog story the whole world could root for. The world took notice, and the Club made history, achieving back-to-back-to-back promotions, catapulting the Reds into the English Football League’s Championship for the first time in over four decades,” reads the new season’s synopsis.
“Having risen so quickly in the pyramid, with the eyes of the world turned to this once unknown town in Wales, fans and haters across the globe wait with bated breath to see whether the Wrexham experiment will make it all the way to the Premier League or if the team will crumble under the pressure. Summer signings bring a nearly new roster and an all-new level of intensity, while heavy competition and rising costs, combined with limited ticket availability due to the building of the new Kop stand, lead to new challenges for the Club. Dedicated staff and supporters celebrate the team’s climb toward the Premiership while bracing against naysayers who cheer for potential relegation. Will Wrexham AFC rise to the challenge and prove they deserve their place among the elite?”
