Wrexham fans who made the final day trip to Lincoln City on May 3, 2008, would never have believed it would take 15 years until they'd have the chance to see their side in another Football League match.
Alas, financial troubles, unscrupulous owners, salvation from supporters and now the Hollywood adventure with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, it has been a long and winding road back to today when they return to the EFL against MK Dons in north Wales.
Wrexham got their Hollywood ending last season with a 111-point record total to win the fifth division - and now the A-list owners want a repeat this season.
