Wrexham have enjoyed enormous success since Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds’ 2021 takeover – both on and off the pitch.
The first international break has given Wrexham fans some time to pause and reflect on a hectic few weeks.
Wrexham made three deadline day signings, taking Phil Parkinson’s summer tally to 13 new recruits.
Wrexham also beat Millwall 2-0 before the international break to claim a first win of the Championship season.
Parkinson and co are re-charging over the international break, but the success of the Wrexham story continues off the pitch.

Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds have not simply thrown money at Wrexham from afar.
The Hollywood duo have made Wrexham a global success story off the back of the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary season.
The show has not only documented Wrexham’s rise, but also made the entire world aware of the brilliant Wrexham community.
‘Welcome to Wrexham’ has been a roaring success, and the show has now bagged two more awards at the Creative Arts Emmys in the United States.
Sunday night’s event saw ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ win awards for Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Reality Program and Outstanding Picture Editing For An Unstructured Reality Program for the ‘Down To The Wire’ episode.
The Creative Arts Emmys recognises artistic and technical achievement, with ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ seeing off the likes of American Idol, The Voice, Deadliest Catch and RuPaul’s Drag Race to clinch those awards.
‘Welcome to Wrexham’ missed out on a third award
Two awards is another incredible achievement, but ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ almost clinched a third on Sunday night.
The FX hit show was also nominated for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program, but lost out to Love on the Spectrum.
‘Welcome to Wrexham’ actually won that same award last year, alongside the Sound Mixing and Picture Editing awards, which were retained this year.
Mac and Reynolds continue to rival major TV shows with ‘Welcome to Wrexham’, and with another season surely in the works, more awards will come in the future.
