Wrexham may have promotion in the bag but manager Phil Parkinson has a clear warning for any of their new global fanbase who think every season from now on will have a Hollywood ending. The “Welcome to Wrexham” documentary series has mushroomed fan groups of the Reds in the most unlikely dark corners of the football universe.

Ryan Reynolds has said that he and Rob McElhenney are having the “ride of our lives” following another Wrexham promotion. The Deadpool star, 47, co-owns the club with fellow Hollywood actor McElhenney. They previously secured promotion to League Two last year, and a 6-0 victory over Forest Green Rovers on Saturday means they will play in League One next season, as they cannot now finish below the top three automatic promotion places.

Wrexham could be hosting a promotion party on Saturday, but manager Phil Parkinson won’t be ordering the beers and champagne just yet. The Dragons manager insists it will be business as usual before their League Two home match against Forest Green Rovers, even though Wrexham may end up celebrating back-to-back promotions for their first time in the club’s history.

Phil Parkinson admitted Wrexham blew their big chance to shake off the chasers at the top of League Two. The Wrexham manager watched his team lose 1-0 at Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday night – a result that leaves them four points behind leaders Stockport County and two points ahead of MK Dons, who lead the clubs in pursuit.

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson admitted his team were handed a lesson by Blackburn Rovers after they followed the rest of Wales’ clubs in bowing out of the FA Cup. Wrexham lost 4-1 at Ewood Park, despite taking an early lead against the Championship club.

Wales’ fastest woman Hannah Brier gained one championship record and lost another on a historic weekend of athletics in Cardiff. The first record to fall at the Welsh Indoor Senior and Under-15 Athletics Championships was the number of competitors taking part.

New Swansea City head coach Luke Williams believes he has something to build on at his new club following their FA Cup victory over Morecambe. Second-half goals from Charlie Patino and Jerry Yates gave Williams a 2-0 third round victory in his first game as the Swans head coach.

Erol Bulut has admitted he is in the dark over how much he has to spend in the January transfer window to bolster Cardiff City’s flagging promotion push. The Bluebirds boss has regularly stressed he requires reinforcements, a need made more obvious by the manner in which his team have struggled in recent weeks.

Erol Bulut wants to hit the January sales and look for items that move Cardiff City from pretenders to contenders for promotion. Cardiff host Norwich City on Saturday with the club looking to maintain their promotion challenge against rivals many thought would be better placed in the Championship at this stage than 17th.

Anyone who saw Yakou Meite at his rampaging best for Reading would know why Cardiff City took a punt on the striker. When fully fit and firing, Meite was one of the most dangerous strikers in the Championship as his 42 league goals in 156 appearances (only 102 starts) would testify.

Kidology, mind games, or maybe just an off-guard truth – whatever it was, Michael Duff must have his players wandering at Swansea City. After going on a five-match unbeaten run – with four successive victories – the Swans players might have imaged their boss would be bigging them up before they take on Championship leaders Leicester City this weekend.

Swansea City fans may be wondering what has happened to their club to turn things around, but midfielder Jamie Paterson thinks he knows the answer. The Swans visit Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, where they could earn their fourth successive victory in the Championship.
