Up, Up, Up the Town!: Wrexham secured their place in The Championship with a historic third consecutive promotion by beating Charlton Athletic 3-0 in front of another frenzied crowd at STōK Cae Ras. Oliver Rathbone opened the scoring with a long-range effort through a crowded penalty area 15 minutes from the start. Sam Smith scored an amazing no-look, over-the-shoulder, volley 3 mins later to cushion the lead, and completed the scoring with a thumping header in the second half to guarantee the Red Dragons promotion. Highlights video.

Celebrity owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, were on-hand to wildly celebrate the victory and used their on-air time after the win to deflect attention from themselves and commend the staff, players, and supporters.

At this point another season of Welcome to Wrexham seems inevitable.
