This is truly bizarre. Also, some pretty misleading framing here:

More than 160 years old and nearly lost for good, the football club was saved by the community that loved it and has been climbing ever since.

Yes, the fans did bail it out at one point but its climb from non-league to The Championship was purely due to Hollywood elites buying their way up the football pyramid. Wrexham was in danger of relegation from the National League prior to their involvement, this is not some kind of underdog success story.

But despite my cynicism, I must admit that seeing the Firefox logo in The Championship next season will be pretty cool.
