Since Wrexham took all the plaudits with their promotion, leaving one club behind in the conversation. Notts County dominated the league but lost to Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s club in the final stages. But now, the club secured promotion to the National League and celebrated a sensational achievement. Moreover, Reynolds had earlier stated how he wanted Notts County in the National League. He also tweeted his acknowledgments on Twitter, and fans loved the response. 

The club went through on penalties after coming back twice in the game to win the soccer match. The game ended 1-1 in regular time, and they scored a late goal in extra time to make it 2-2. Notts County goalkeeper Archie Mair produced two brilliant saves to get the team over the line. Thus, Reynolds tweeted in favor of the team, as well as their late chief executive, Jason Turner, who died suddenly. All in all, an excellent day for the supporters.

We will see you in the EFL next.” Later, he also tweeted about the influence of Jason Turner in the club’s promotion. He added, “And huge love to the family, friends, and loved ones of Jason Turner.” It is so heartwarming to see the interaction between the Wrexham club owner and his rival club.

Ryan always stated how he wanted Notts County to receive a promotion along with his club. They challenged Wrexham until the end but failed to win the title at the last moment. But the club will now meet against each other to resume their battles.
