The pair said their goal was to grow the club
that plays in England's fifth-tier and get them back into the
English Football League (EFL), while also increasing attendances
at an improved Racecourse Ground.
"This is the third-oldest club on the planet and we don't see
why it can't have a global appeal," the BBC quoted Reynolds as
telling Wrexham supporters during a virtual meeting.
"Our intention is to become part of the Wrexham story rather
than Wrexham becoming part of our story."
Founded in 1864, Wrexham has been under the ownership of its
fans since 2011 and the BBC reported that a successful takeover
could lead to around two million pounds ($2.63 million) being
invested in the club.
The Wrexham Supporters Trust, which had previously voted to hold
talks with the potential owners, will vote again to decide the
club's future, with an announcement expected next week.
Reynolds and McElhenney made a big effort to charm fans,
promising several times in their mission statement to always
beat their biggest rivals Chester.
Wrexham were relegated from the EFL in 2008. They have reached
the FA Cup quarter-finals on three occasions.
"We want to be at the Racecourse Ground as much as possible - as
many games as I can make," Reynolds was quoted as saying by
North Wales Live.
"We want to have a pint with the fans. You'll be fed up of us.
We want to be great ambassadors for the club, to introduce the
club to the world and be a global force."
