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.

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.
But for Jason Turner, he had his dream fulfilled and would be smiling from above. The club’s chief executive took over the reins at the club back in March 2016. Ryan had earlier given his tribute to the club executive in a heartwarming post. Therefore, he still carries himself high amongst the players and supporters, as was evident during the post-match celebrations.
