Wrexham FC announce open-top bus parade plans for next week

Wrexham FC have announced an open-top bus parade through the city on Tuesday of next week.

Thousands are expected to turn out to honour the men's and women's teams, who both won titles this season.

The men's side secured promotion back to the Football League for the first time in 15 years on Saturday night as the remarkable Hollywood story under the ownership of actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney reached a crescendo.

There were emotional scenes following the match, with the two stars taking to the pitch to join the celebrations. It is not yet known whether they will be present at the parade, which was announced on Wednesday evening.

You can get hold of a special 48-page souvenir celebrating the achievement here.

A Wrexham statement read: "We are delighted to confirm an open-top bus parade will take place around Wrexham city centre on Tuesday May 2 to celebrate both our men’s and women’s teams title-winning campaigns.

"Supporters are invited to pack the town to join the celebrations, as we share our success with the community.

"The event is set to start at 6.15pm and will take around an hour, meaning plenty of opportunity to see the players and cheer them along – a full route will be published ahead of the event.

"Fans are encouraged to spread themselves along the whole route, and we will highlights key viewing points and full details in due course."

Wrexham's women’s team also enjoyed a title-winning season and promotion, securing their place in the Genero Adran Premier for next season with a dramatic 1-0 win against Briton Ferry Llansawel recently.
