The EFL's chief executive Rick Parry has revealed they are considering introducing a third promotion spot for National League clubs, although no decision will be made imminently.
That is good news for Wrexham, who are trying to get out of the National League under the ownership of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The pair have spent a small fortune since completing a takeover in November 2020, but to no avail.
Wrexham finished second in the National League last season to qualify for the play-offs, where they lost to Grimsby. They are in the same position this time around - sitting five points behind leaders Notts County. Wrexham do have two games in hand, however.
