Wrexham Stadium Expansion: Latest updates on delayed Kop redevelopment

Wrexham AFC’s rise to the Football League has read like a Hollywood script. Well, it would with owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, and the actor pairing’s investment has not been limited to the pitch, where big-money signings have catapulted the North Wales side back into League Two with aspirations of continued progress.

The next stage for the rapidly developing Red Dragons is to undergo a Wrexham stadium expansion, with the Kop redevelopment the priority.

What’s the Wrexham stadium like now?

The Racecourse Ground is a historic stadium having hosted Wales’ first home international match back in 1877. Although it is no longer the regular home of the national side, it has hosted more Wales international games than any other ground.

It’s the largest stadium in north Wales – Cardiff and Swansea are both in the south – and the fifth largest in the country overall. It has been the home of Wrexham AFC for its entire history and has hosted rugby league, rugby union, youth football and many music concerts.
