A meteoric rise has delivered <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-rob-mcelhenney-kaitlin-olson-reacts-history-making-championship-red-dragons/blt339a0e3cacb0cd93" target="_blank">three successive promotions</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

THE BIGGER PICTURE

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Finance expert Adam Williams has told <a href="https://www.thewrexhaminsider.com/news/wrexham-pull-off-rare-achievement-only-matched-by-premier-league-big-six-as-50m-boom-imminent/ " target="_blank"><em>Wrexham Insider</em></a>: "I think that Wrexham are unique in the sense that, apart from the ‘Big Six’, they are probably the only club in the 92 with more international fans than domestic ones.</p><p>"Because they aren’t linked to those supporters by geography, these tours are all about nurturing the fanbase they have helped to cultivate through the documentary and the owners’ own fanbases.</p><p>"Getting a punter in Australia to watch a documentary and the odd game here and there is one thing, but getting them to watch a match in the flesh, buy merchandise and so on is another.</p><p>"They’re trying to shore up those connections and solidify the Wrexham brand in these lucrative overseas markets. Having a physical presence there is the way forward with that.</p><p>"To have demand outstripping supply in terms of merchandise is obviously a positive, as CEO Michael Williamson points out. They’ve forecast revenue of around £50m for 2025-26, and I think a fair chunk of that will already have been delivered in pre-season given the weighting towards commercial income that they enjoy."</p>

WHAT FINANCE EXPERT SAID

<p>The funds that Reynolds and McElhenney have helped to generate mean that Wrexham can spend big again in the summer of 2025 - with their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-announce-lewis-obrien-transfer-nottingham-forest-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/blt64678b17ba7699eb" target="_blank">transfer record being smashed for the umpteenth time when prising Lewis O’Brien away from Nottingham Forest</a>.</p>
