Wrexham Owners Planning For Up To 55,000-Capacity Racecourse

The owners of Wrexham AFC, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have stated their long term ambition to increase the club’s stadium capacity to an incredible 55,000.

Following the Club’s purchase of the Racecourse Ground freehold, a new 5,500 all seater stand is already planned as a replacement for the Kop end, which has been unused since 2007.

However, after delays to the start of work, a temporary 2,289 stand has been erected instead.

Wrexham’s Hollywood co owners are currently publicising season three of the 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary, which charts the club’s promotion from League Two, and are outlining their future plans for SToK Racecourse.

As tickets for matches are in such high demand, Reynolds said he wants to be able to accommodate a situation where “the whole town could come to the game”.

It was hoped the new Kop stand would be ready for the start of the 2024 25 season, but Reynolds and McElhenney have been frustrated by delays to the project.
