For now, for Reynolds, the championship will be good for Wrexham.
It is a level the club has not experienced in over 40 years and is the highest position in 161. This is different for clubs that have become accustomed to success and surreal success.
Escape from the non-league in 15 years was a moment of security. It was probably not a surprise to me to go back from League Two. An unprecedented third? Who said that trilogy never proves to be popular.

When the A-listers saw their rivals lose in an early kickoff from the private box, it was rare to see Reynolds appear in celebration as the sound of nearby Turf Pub confirmed a key goal courtesy of Wrexham long before kicking the ball.
“The door has been opened for us, and now we have to step on it,” said manager Phil Parkinson’s dressing room message to his players.
