The bold ambition set out by Wrexham's Hollywood owners was laid bare when last year one of them dared to mention the Premier League.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney had not even been in charge of the non-league side for a year when the former made an eye-raising comment. "I don't profess to be a football expert but I see the beauty of the fan and I see it through others," Reynolds said last October. "We'd be lying if the dream wasn't the Premier League. We want to get back in the Football League and continue our way upwards."
Many outsiders may snigger at the quote but those inside the club believe it was borne out of a genuine aim by the A-list pair rather than intended as a headline-grabbing soundbite.
