Wrexham put the seal on a pivotal week for the club by clinching promotion back to the English Football League (EFL) on Saturday.
The North Wales outfit defeated Boreham Wood 3-1 at a raucous Racecourse Ground to seal top spot in the National League.
Paul Parkinson's side fell behind early in the game, but battled back to get the job done courtesy of two superb Paul Mullin strikes and an Elliot Lee header.
Wrexham's charge back into the EFL has garnered plenty of headlines, largely driven by their Hollywood owners - Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
The pair have revived the club since completing their takeover in February 2021, investing huge resources to secure promotion back to the EFL.
Wrexham have become the scourge of online bookmakers in the National League this season, suffering just three defeats in 45 outings.
They will likely be one of the football betting favourites to win the League Two title next term and it would be no surprise to see them achieve the feat.
Regaining their league status is just the first step on the road to what promises to be an exciting journey for the North Wales club.
Reynolds and McElhenney have been a breath of fresh air as owners and have ambitious plans to fire Wrexham further up the pyramid.
The club's promotion follows hot on the heels of the news that a proposed new 5,500-seater stand at the Racecourse Ground has secured financial backing from Wrexham council.
The development will take the capacity to around 15,600, which will come in handy given that Wrexham have been selling out every home game.
The council have agreed to reallocate a 'substantial amount' of a £25 million Welsh government grant to the plan, with the rest of the project funded from a partnership.
Wrexham have teamed up with the Football Association of Wales (FAW) and Transport for Wales to generate the extra funding needed to create one of the best stadiums in Wales.
The development is unlikely to be completed until the start of the 2024/25 season, but the FAW are already exploring the possibility of staging upcoming internationals at the Racecourse.
The world's oldest international football stadium has only hosted the national team once in the last 15 years, but that looks set to change moving forward.
While the Cardiff City Stadium will remain Wales' primary venue, the option of staging international games at the Racecourse Ground is exciting news for fans in the north of the country.
Reynolds and McElhenney deserve a massive pat on the back for transforming Wrexham's fortunes and it will be intriguing to see how far they can take the club.
