  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The Red Dragons are now just one step away from the Premier League, with top-flight football having always been the ultimate ambition. If that target can be hit, then why not aim even higher?

• WHAT HUMPHREY KER SAID

  Ker is reluctant to be dragged into a future debate, with Reynolds and McElhenney needing little encouragement when it comes to making bold predictions. Wrexham’s community director told the podcast: "Do not encourage them! Please, they’re already deranged enough as it is, I can’t be putting Champions League in their mind. Let’s start with doing alright in the Championship."

  DID YOU KNOW?

  Wrexham expect to be competitive in the second tier of English football, but Ker added on the challenges that they face: "It is a bit of a double-edged sword, especially for a club like us, we’ve got a 10,000 seater stadium and we’ve just taken down 3000 temporary seats.

  "We are a small lot, our matchday revenues are not massive, our sponsorship revenue is very large and disproportionately large for a club of our size."
