The main goal of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's ownership of Welsh football team Wrexham A.F.C. was to advance the team to the greatest levels possible.

Actually, the primary motivation was to create a TV program, but the programme would be far more entertaining if they improved their standing in English soccer. They seem to be getting ready to move forward.

On Monday, Wrexham defeated first-place Notts County 3-2 in a dramatic, chaotic, and crazy comeback.

With only four games remaining in the National League season, the significant victory propelled Wrexham from second position past Notts County into first place.

The division has 24 clubs and is the fifth-highest in the English football league system. The club that wins the division advances to League Two, the fourth division.

The Premier League is three tiers above that league. The English Football League covers the top four divisions of English football, making it a major move.

League 2 and higher are essentially fully professional, whereas League 1 and lower are semi-professional or at least in a grey area.

Because teams in second through seventh place compete in a playoff for one extra promotion berth, placing first is extremely important. Last season, Wrexham came in second, missed the playoff, and failed to gain the promotion that this season now appears possible.

 What a time for this club, which very soon may be able to keep dreaming of moving up the ladder.

They will look back on this day as the pivotal day in their season if they are promoted, even though they have little chance of entering the Premier League and would need to make significant investments in their team and infrastructure.
