🚨 Wrexham’s Hollywood Owners Hit Pause Button on Premier League Dream 🚨
There are exciting times in Wrexham with actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at the helm, pushing the club from the National League to the Championship in just a few years! 🌟 But it seems there might be a hiccup on the horizon.
Former Liverpool CEO Peter Moore, now an advisor for the club, has put on the brakes a little. He’s urging the dynamic duo to focus on infrastructure growth if they aim for the Premier League. Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground currently holds about 10,000 fans, and with the thrill of their journey climbing the leagues, that’s not quite enough to compete financially at the top. 🏟️💷
Moore shared at the World Football Summit that if game-day revenues need a boost, so does the stadium capacity. Plans are already in motion for a new stand at the Kop end, set to increase the stadium’s capacity to an impressive 18,000 for the 2026/27 season. This could also pave the way for hosting Wales international matches! 🇾🇪
Flashback to how Reynolds and Rob got their man: Moore was first courted by the owners back in December 2020 and his warnings now hint at the careful planning needed for Wrexham’s next chapter.
CEO Michael Williamson is thrilled about what lies ahead, stating that the new structure will be pivotal for fans and part of broader local regeneration efforts. Plus, they’re honouring Wrexham legend Joey Jones with a new mural at the iconic Turf pub. 🎨
The town is buzzing, but with growth comes growing pains. Will Wrexham strike the perfect balance? Only time will tell! 🤞
Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s keep cheering for Wrexham’s continued success! ⚽
