Wrexham have confirmed plans to build a temporary 2,289-capacity stand at the Kop after it was revealed that their new 5,500-seater end would not be ready in time for next season.

The club’s Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney promised to build a new permanent stand at the Racecourse Ground ahead of next season, taking the stadium’s capacity to 16,000.

Wrexham was forced to push back plans in September, revealing that construction would not be completed in time for the 2024-25 campaign. 

‘Work will commence this week to install a temporary, 2,289-capacity stand behind the goal at the Kop End,’ Wrexham confirmed.

‘Applications for the relevant permissions and licences are being made simultaneously with the construction.’

It is hoped the temporary stand, which will be for home fans only, will be ready in time for Wrexham’s clash with Newport County on December 23. 

A spokesman from the club said: ‘We are making good progress resolving the outstanding matters before the Kop Development can commence, but with a minimum of three months mobilisation period before work can start on site, we can now install a temporary stand without negatively impacting the construction programme for the Kop.

‘The costs of the temporary stand will be greater than generated from ticket sales, but the Board felt the priority was to enable more fans to see the team live and address the frustration felt by some that they can’t get a ticket for games.

‘The temporary stand will be priced at £20 for adults, £15 for Over-65s/Under-21s, £9 for Under-18s and £6 for Under-11s.

‘This pricing reflects that the stand will not have a roof and fans will be exposed to any inclement weather. The tickets will be made available to members in the first instance via the normal sales process once the required licences to use it are in place.’

Reynolds and McElhenney have previously stated their ultimate goal is to take the club all the way to the Premier League, and they appear determined to have a stadium that is fit for the top-flight.

Wrexham gained promotion from the National League last term and have made a promising start to their first season back in the Football League for 15 years.

Phil Parkinson’s men have collected 37 points from their first 20 games to take hold of second place, five points behind leaders Stockport.
