Fleur Robinson, who is Wrexham AFC's CEO, said in a statement: "It's been a huge effort by everybody, on the pitch and off it, and this is a great opportunity for us to thank for the community of Wrexham for their incredible support. We are looking forward to commemorating a truly memorable and record-breaking season together."

Nigel Williams, a councillor for the Gwenfro Ward at Wrexham Council, added: "I’m sure that people will be out in large numbers to show their support for both successful Wrexham champion teams, it will be a fantastic momentous occasion for Wrexham.
