Exciting times ahead for Wrexham fans! 🎉 The £70 million transformation of the iconic Racecourse Ground is making waves, with incredible new footage revealing the impressive progress of the Kop Stand. Owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the club’s ambitious redevelopment is truly something to behold. 🚀
The stunning drone footage showcases the massive steel framework, which now towers over the existing stadium and will soon dominate the Wrexham skyline. Once completed, the new stand will boost the stadium’s capacity to over 18,000, with space for around 7,750 passionate fans—and it’s designed with a nod to Wrexham’s rich heritage. 🏟️
Expect state-of-the-art features like safe-standing areas, hospitality facilities, and accessible seating. Plus, the beautiful red-brick exterior pays tribute to the famed local Ruabon brickwork. In a touching homage, plans include incorporating the sister wheel from the Gresford Colliery and a statue of club legend Joey Jones. ⚽
This upgrade is a pivotal part of the Wrexham Gateway scheme. It’s all about rejuvenating the area and bringing major events back to North Wales. With backing from the Welsh Government, the stadium edges closer to UEFA Category 4 status, setting the stage for potential international fixtures in the future. 🌍
Circle the 2027/28 season on your calendar because Rob and Ryan promise that fans will finally get to experience the revamped stand then. As Reynolds puts it, when you tell Rob something’s impossible, he makes it happen. Exciting times are on the horizon for Wrexham! 🔴
For now, let’s keep our eyes peeled for more updates and keep dreaming big—just like our favourite Hollywood duo! 🙌 #WrexhamAFC #KopStandTransformation #RedsRising
