Wrexham earning promotion to the Premier League would be "the greatest sports story ever", so says director Shaun Harvey.

Since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought Wrexham in November 2020, the club has surged through the divisions, currently sitting in the Championship.

They have led the club up from the National League with four successive promotions and still have a chance of making it to the top-flight this season.

Wrexham sit in the final play-off position in the second division, only above Hull City on goal difference, while Derby County are only one point behind them in eighth.

They face Middlesbrough, who are chasing automatic promotion, on the final day, knowing a win that betters Hull's would definitely take them into the play-offs.

"If we do make it to the playoffs on Saturday afternoon, we have the chance of going back-to-back-to-back-to-back promotions," Harvey said at SportsPro London.

"If we achieve that, as others have said, and I agree, it would be the greatest sports story ever.

"There's no script, just a story to tell.

"As it happens, it's authentic, and that's what makes Wrexham so relatable to many others who care to dream."

Thank you for your fantastic support on the road throughout the season.

Wrexham have won their final match in each of their last four Football League seasons, their longest-ever such run.

They are slight favourites with the Opta supercomputer, winning 40.3% of the pre-match simulations, but Harvey was quick to point out that missing out on the play-offs would not mark the season as a failure.

"The time is now. We've got one game to go of the league season," Harvey said.

"To use Alex Ferguson's favourite phrase, it definitely is squeaky bum time. Will we make it, or won't we make it? Well, there's a story to be written either way.

"Because whatever happens, we've gone from being a non-league team to the best team in Wales by virtue of league position.

"We've finished in our highest league position ever, and the women's team have won the league and will compete in the Champions League.

"In all circumstances, our season should be viewed as 'we nearly made it', rather than 'we just missed out'.

"And whilst that's a subtle difference, the reality is we have no right to actually achieve what we have done so far this season."
