Asked about being just one league below England’s vaunted top-flight, McElhenney laughed and said: “Well, that’s for tomorrow to think about. Today is just enjoying the moment. We could probably wait until 12:01.”
Reynolds replied: “We have to wait ’til tomorrow? I’ll erase the whiteboard I put up at halftime.”

Wrexham’s popularity has skyrocketed on both sides of the Atlantic due to the North American owners and the “Welcome to Wrexham” documentary.
While many sports teams have celebrity absentee owners, Reynolds and McElhenney are anything but absent.
Reynolds, whose wife and fellow actor Blake Lively was also at Saturday’s game, told reporters earlier this week in New York that the stress was “like an eight-inch ulcer in my stomach.”
McElhenney had delivered a pre-game speech to the players before their key 2-1 victory over Blackpool on Monday, and then spent this past week in Wales with them.

The Racecourse Ground crowd showed their appreciation in the dying minutes of Saturday’s thriller, turning to applaud the two, who were both down on the celebratory pitch soon after the final whistle wrapping players in giant hugs.
“Ryan and I have the easiest job in the world, which is to show up and watch this incredible football team and this incredible story continue to unfold,” said McElhenney, an American best known for his role in the sitcom “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”.
“And if you want to see what it means to them, you go into that dressing room after a loss and there’s nothing that can console them,” Reynolds added.
“That’s where you see the grit and the metal that these players have. It means everything to them.”
The duo ended their interview with a mic drop. And then Reynolds picked the microphones off the pitch and blew off the grass before handing them back.
The final whistle sparked mayhem as thousands of fans poured onto the pitch carrying banners saying “Back to back to back” and hoisting grinning players on their shoulders amid clouds of red smoke, while Parkinson cracked his first smile of the game.

“What a feeling, it’s incredible,” Wrexham forward Steven Fletcher said. “For this club to go back to back to back is amazing and something special, it gets better each time.
“We want to go again. It’s a big ask but we’ll reset and the sky is the limit with this club.”
Wrexham are reportedly in talks to play in Australia in July, against the Melbourne Victory.
