Wrexham verging on ‘greatest sports story ever’ claims team executive

Speaking at SportsPro London, Wrexham director Shaun Harvey, who has played a major role in the club’s rapid rise up the English soccer pyramid over the past five years, said, “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,” as per ESPN.

“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.”

Harvey, who has previously worked as the English Football League’s Chief Executive and has been a prominent figure in FX’s coverage of the Red Dragons’ rise under Reynolds/Mac in the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ docuseries, went on to add simply, “The time is now.”

He said, “We've got one game to go of the league season. To use Alex Ferguson's favorite 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.”

Should Wrexham reach the playoffs, they would take on the third-placed team across in a two-legged semi-final, with the goal of reaching the final at Wembley Stadium on May 23.
