The leap to the Premier League is monumental, but even this initial hurdle can trip up many squads.

I attended one of their matches last season, and the energy was electric. The ownership’s charisma, coupled with the popular series showcasing their rise, has everyone rooting for them. They’re involving supporters in every step, fostering an incredible vibe, and it’s truly inspiring. My friend Mickey Thomas raves about the club’s progress and the buzz in Wrexham.
