Wrexham have secured promotion to League One for the first time since 2005, earning promotions in two successive seasons. The Welsh side thrashed Forest Green 6-0 in their most recent game, ensuring that they finish in the top three.
On the other hand, Forest Green are at risk of dropping out of the Football League owing to their performances this season. Celebrations followed the full-time whistle at Colliers Park, as the dream to make it to the Premier League took another step.

MK Dons bottled a lead to lose 4-1 at home to Mansfield, which led to Wrexham ensuring they finish in the top three. Stockport have already earned promotion to League One, as they are at the top of the table.
After starting out in the National League, Wrexham benefited from investment by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Now, they have made it to the third tier of England, with the next step being the Championship. However, they will need a significant boost if they are to make it to the top of League One in their very first season.
Not only will the team have to recruit more skilled players to compete in the division, but they will also need more financial backing if they are to stay competitive in the third tier of English football.
