LEGEND THOMAS: WREXHAM ARE READY... NEW SIGNINGS PROVE THEY ARE UP FOR IT

- BY JOHN RICHARDSON

CO-OWNER Rob McElhenney insisted “Not Done Yet", following Wrexham's third straight record-breaking promotion to the Championship.

And after enjoying lunch with manager Phil Parkinson last week, club legend Mickey Thomas also quickly sensed that mere survival isn't on the menu.

Wrexham became the first team to enjoy three successive promotions and are back in the second tier 23 years after being in the old Second Division, now the Championship.

“What has been happening to this football club has been pure madness and hopefully there's more of it to come,’ said Thomas.

It comes as he prepares for the funeral of his great friend and fellow Red Dragons icon Joey Jones whose £210,000 return to the club in 2003/04 - the last time north Wales enjoyed this level of football - was an incoming transfer record for 45 years.
