Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney land eye-watering amount as Wrexham promotion confirmed

An historic day in the history of Wrexham football club - and a lucrative one for their celebrity owners as well.

The win over Boreham Wood confirmed The Red Dragons will return to the football league for the first time since relegation in 2007/08. And whilst comparisons to their promotion bid and a Hollywood script may be deemed inevitable, the story has undoubtedly been one to capture the imagination.

Before they even kick off their League Two campaign next August, Wrexham will be considerably stronger financially. For being in that division alone, they will receive a payment from the EFL of £1.1 million, with their TV income/sponsorship and the annual Premier League solidarity payment incorporated into that amount.
