There was always an acceptance from the key decision makers at the Stok Cae Ras that the step up from League One to the Championship would be enormous in comparison to the previous jumps in quality the club have faced during their rapid surge up the football pyramid.
But following a slightly shaky start, Phil Parkinson's side have gone from strength to strength in the second tier.
Their latest victory - their 11th in 29 league games this season - did far more than just provide the club's Welcome to Wrexham documentary makers with some truly dramatic footage.

It consisted of rip-roaring goals, wild scenes of celebration and uncontrollable 'limbs' in the top tier of Loftus Road's School End.
It also inspired live match commentator Mark Griffiths, in a moment of sudden infatuation, to invite Rathbone to “take my children” (see clip below).
Wrexham twice fell behind at Queens Park Rangers and appeared destined to end a frustrating week - which included a 2-1 loss at home to Norwich City and late disappointment in a 1-1 draw with Leicester City - in disappointing fashion.

But as co-chairman Rob Mac went on to put it on X, "Never, ever, ever give up on anything in Wrexham".
Wrexham left west London with all three points courtesy of impressive strikes from Callum Doyle, Josh Windass and Ollie Rathbone - with the latter two both bagging in added time.
For all of the talk around the club's vast net spend last summer - which was north of £30m - Wrexham have invested in some serious quality, but equally as important, they have character, grit and determination within their ranks too.

It means that, despite the incredulous nature of their QPR comeback, the turnaround should ultimately not come as a huge shock, with Wrexham's tally of six goals scored after 90 minutes this season being the most of any side in the Championship.
Crucially, the triumph lifted Wrexham into the play-off places for the first time this season and saw the club record three successive away league wins for the first time in 2025-26.
The Red Dragons are no strangers to having a target on their backs since Ryan Reynolds and Mac stunned the football world by taking control of the north Wales club almost five years ago.
But their last-gasp exploits in the English capital last weekend will almost certainly elevate that threat to new heights for the remaining months of the regular season.
"We've shown a lot of character over the last four years because, certainly in the last few divisions, we were a target everywhere we went due to the story of Wrexham," said Parkinson.
"Every ground was a sell-out so we've had to show a strong mentality. We've always brought players into the club who have got that mentality and we need to keep showing it."

They also have a home FA Cup fourth round tie with Ipswich Town to look forward to on Friday, February 13 to further whet the appetite ahead of what is already shaping into being a mouth-watering run-in.
Regardless of how the remainder of the campaign unfolds, Wrexham fans can be thrilled with the way their side - particularly having been a National League team as recently as 2023 - have gone full tilt in what is their first second tier season in 43 years.
