In fact, the town will get a chance to see the Hollywood owners take part in the victory parade. This news must have left all the fans ecstatic, who will be looking to join the parade in great fashion.

It seems winning the league is Wrexham’s way of paying back their loyal community, as they actually received immense help from their beloved fans. Back in 2011, the club was in crisis as it needed a massive sum to stay in the league.

Before the start of the 2011-12 season, the Football Conference asked the club to pay over a $250,000 bond to keep the club in the league. Unfortunately, the owners could only offer $150,000, thus leaving the club in limbo. It became difficult for them to raise the remaining money in the given time. This led the owners to make an emotional appeal to the Wrexham community.

Following the appeal, fans acted quickly and contributed whatever they could. In fact, it took just seven hours to raise the required money, which was later paid to the Football Conference. According to some members of the Wrexham Supporters Trust (WST), every fan contributed whatever they were able to.

Moreover, children broke their piggy banks and offered their pocket money to save the club. Indeed, it was a class act from all the Wrexham fans, who were able to save the club from bushes.
