“We can hear how it feels to the town,” said co-owner McElhenney.
Paul Mullin’s two goals created a party atmosphere at the sell-out Racecourse and at the final whistle, emotional Wrexham fans spilled out onto the pitch as their Hollywood owners – who made the club world famous with their Disney+ We Are Wrexham documentary – cried in the directors’ box.
“I’m not sure I can actually process what happened tonight, I’m speechless.”
McElhenney added to BT Sport: “How it feels for the town is the most important to us – it’s a moment of catharsis for them and celebration – and to be welcomed into this community and this experience is the honour of my life.”
