Wrexham curing travel sickness key to promotion

Wrexham fans at an away gameRex Features

Wrexham curing their away day blues was an "outstanding" factor in their latest promotion.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's Red Dragons had picked up just 13 points from their first 12 away games of the League One campaign.

But Saturday's 2-0 win at Lincoln City in their final game made it 26 points from the final 11 fixtures on the road – meaning they improved their return more than twice over.

Wrexham's season hit a worrying point in February when they lost at struggling rivals Shrewsbury, who went on to be relegated.

They had managed just four wins on their travels, with their away record worse than any side that had got promoted to the Championship over the past two decades.

But Phil Parkinson's side went on to collect seven further wins, losing just once to leave the six-times promotion winner delighted.

"It's an outstanding return at any level of football, so I'm really pleased with that," said Parkinson after goals from Eliot Lee and Ryan Longman at the LNER Stadium wrapped up their second-pace finish to earn the club a place in the second tier for the first time in 43 years.
