Marcotti: Concerns over Wrexham's ceiling (1:12)

Gab Marcotti expresses his concerns over what Wrexham's ceiling is, as the club seeks new investors. (1:12)

Wrexham's Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney would scarcely believe they would be in this position after almost five years in charge.

After already securing back-to-back promotions, Wrexham have been enjoying another stellar season, sitting in second place in League One as they bid for promotion to the Championship.

If they can secure a second-place finish, they will earn automatic promotion. But should they fail, they have already earned a spot in the League One playoffs.

Here's how it can happen.

How does the table look?

Aside from champions-elect Birmingham City, who are already promoted, all the teams at the top end of the table have played 44 games.

Wrexham are on 86 points with their remaining two games against fellow-promotion hopefuls Charlton Athletic and Lincoln City.

Their biggest rivals for automatic promotion are Wycombe Wanderers, who are two points behind them in third. However, Charlton can't be overlooked in the race to the Championship. The south London side thrashed Wycombe 4-0 on Monday to move within two points of them and four of Wrexham.


How many points do Wrexham need?

Wrexham's win at Blackpool coupled with Wycombe's defeat to Charlton has put the Welsh side on the brink of promotion.

Their spot in the Championship will be secured if they win their next two games and amass 92 points.


When is the earliest Wrexham can get promoted?

The earliest date that Wrexham can go up is April 26. For that to transpire, they will have to beat Charlton on the day and need Wycombe to drop points at Leyton Orient.
