Wrexham have secured promotion to League one after a thumping 6-0 win over Forest Green. <br/><br/>The Red Dragons were transformed following the takeover by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, and their success has continued. <br/><br/>Phil Parkinson's men were aware that a win against bottom side Forest Green would ensure a second consecutive promotion.<br/><br/>And victory at the RaceCourse Ground came in emphatic fashion, with Wrexham heading into half-time 4-0 up thanks to Elliot Lee's strike, Paul Mullin's brace and a Ryan Inniss own-goal. <br/><br/>The second half continued in similar fashion, with Ryan Barnett and Jack Marriott. adding a further two goals to get celebration party underway. <br/><br/><br/>Thousands of fans invaded the pitch once the full-time whistle was blown despite a stern warning from the club earlier in the day. <br/><br/>A statement read: 'The Club wishes to remind supporters that it is crucial the pitch is kept to its usual high standards, given we still have a home game on the final day of the season.<br/><br/>'With that in mind, we wish to remind supporters about the implications of any potential pitch invasions, at any point, during the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign.<br/><br/>'At the end of last season, some clubs witnessed unsavoury and unwelcome scenes with a small minority of people entering the field of play whilst other fans took to the pitch in a celebratory mood.<br/><br/>'It is a criminal offence to enter the pitch and the real-life consequences for these actions have been felt by many with some fans receiving criminal records which can impact employment, education prospects and international travel.'<br/><br/>A corner after 17 minutes led to Lee’s opener following a frantic goalmouth scramble after Mullin’s header was blocked.<br/><br/>It took last season’s National League champions just six minutes to double their lead.<br/><br/>Lee was again involved, releasing James McClean, who picked out Mullin at the back post to head in his 24th of the season.<br/><br/>Thoroughly dominant in the first half, Wrexham’s third came as defender Eoghan O’Connell tried his luck from distance. His shot took a cruel deflection off Inniss which left goalkeeper Vicente Reyes helpless.<br/><br/>There was still time for Mullin to hit Wrexham’s fourth before half-time.<br/><br/>A corner was only half-cleared to the unmarked striker on the edge of the area and his shot deflected into the goal.<br/><br/>Barnett got in on the act in the second half with a stunning volley from McClean’s cross to make it 5-0.<br/><br/>And Marriott completed the scoring six minutes from time as Wrexham and their Hollywood star owners could celebrate promotion with two games to spare.<br/><br/>Next season will be Wrexham's first in the third tier since the 2004-05 campaign. It's also the first time the Welsh club have been promoted in successive seasons. <br/><br/>League Two leaders Stockport will join them in the third tier after they beat Morecambe 2-0.
