Wrexham is keeping the party going after sealing a third-straight promotion.
The club, owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, will be playing in the second tier of English soccer next season - just one level below the Premier League. It is a remarkable rise for a team that was languishing in non-league before being bought by the Hollywood pair in 2021.
And such is the demand from fans to celebrate the latest success that Wrexham is staging a ticket-only end-of-year awards party at its Racecourse Ground stadium on Sunday.
Nearly 13,000 fans turned up for the 3-0 win against Charlton on Saturday that saw Wrexham win promotion as runner-up in League One.
The club has opted against a open-top bus parade through the city’s streets, given that it didn’t go up as champion.
But fans can still celebrate with the players at the stadium for the season-ending awards.
The player of the year and young player of the will be named at the event.
Wrexham did not say if Reynolds or McElhenney - who regularly attend games - would be at the event.
