Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are making waves with their ambitious plans to develop Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground into a stadium capable of seating between 45,000 and 55,000 fans. This would transform the historic venue, which dates back to 1807 and is currently undergoing renovations, into one of the largest stadiums in British football
The club has already begun addressing structural issues, notably the Kop Stand, which has been closed since 2008 due to safety concerns. Following a recent redevelopment plan, a temporary stand is set to open soon, and further renovations are planned to expand seating capacity across all sides of the stadium
McElhenney expressed his excitement about the project, envisioning a stadium that could accommodate nearly the entire town of Wrexham, whose population is just under 45,000. This expansion is part of their broader strategy to capitalize on the club’s growing popularity since their takeover, which has seen Wrexham rise from the National League to League One in just two years
With these developments, Wrexham aims not only to enhance their matchday experience but also to attract more fans from across the UK and beyond, solidifying their place in the football world.
