According to CNN, the Wrexham Supporters Trust Board voted in favor of the deal that would grant Reynolds and McElhenney complete ownership of the organization.

As Wrexham supporters, we would like to wish them the very best of luck in charge of our Football Club and look forward to what the future brings, The Wrexham Supporters Trust Board, via statement.

McElhenney and Reynolds both took to Twitter to celebrate.

You may never have heard of Wrexham, The Racecourse Ground or Ifor Williams, but you will.

So to the Wrexham Supporters Trust, thank you for your faith and trust in us.
