Wrexham decided to erect a temporary stand after the construction of a new 5,500 seater Kop Stand was delayed. The new stand was meant to be finished in time for the start of next season, but with demand for tickets continuing to surge, owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney decided to provide a temporary solution. The Kop Stand at the Racecourse has been closed since 2008.
WHAT WREXHAM FANS SAID
On X, Wrexham fans reacted positively to the news. One said: "It's going to be so good to see fans behind that goal again."
Another fan said: "What a day the 23rd will be with that view from the tech end," while another commented, "A thing of beauty, even if temporary."
