Wrexham are growing in stature both on the field and off the field.
Owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have propelled the club to fame across the globe with attractive football on the pitch and raising their profile off it with the documentary ‘Welcome to Wrexham’.
Wrexham proposed plans for a new pitch in recent weeks and the turf is the same state-of-the-art product that has been used in stadiums such as the San Siro in Milan.
Phil Parkinson has got his team in real contention for promotion from League One and that is not the only exciting project going on at the club with a fresh update regarding plans for the Racecourse Ground.
Michael Williamson provides time frame on Racecourse Ground improvements
Chief Executive Michael Williamson has been speaking to The Leader about the proposed plans and improvements to the stadium and has given an update to supporters in terms of a time frame for completion.
He claimed that the ‘milestone’ for the club is having everything ready and open for the UEFA U19 tournament in July 2026, meaning the stadium would be set for Wrexham’s 2026-27 campaign.
Williamson stated: “It’s nice to have plans out there for the public to see the vision and thought process both behind the facade and also the interiors, and why we took the pause to rethink what the Kop was going to be.
“There’s a planning application process that goes on within the city and and the council, and we are obviously looking to start this summer with the replacement of the pitch, moving the dugouts, adjusting the tv gantries and then ultimately starting the work for the pilings and everything else for the development of the Kop.”
Wrexham building infrastructure to attract better quality signings
As the club progresses up through the football pyramid and towards the Wrexham Owners ultimate goal of Premier League football it is not just new signings and expensive wage packets that need to be implemented.
Wrexham are investing in new training facilities in order to give the team the chance to maximise every detail when it comes to preparation for games and analysing performances.
The Red Dragons have already been able to attract the likes of England international Jay Rodriguez and Northern Ireland captain James McClean to the club but will need to keep enhancing facilities off the pitch.
The Wrexham academy is also important in terms of investment and time spent developing as home grown players can save and earn the club millions moving forward.
