Wrexham take action to address SToK Racecourse problem caused by surge in popularity thanks to Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney

According to The Leader, new Wrexham CEO Michael Williamson met with local councillors to address traffic and parking issues in the town on match days. The report adds residents have complained about inconsiderate parking in recent seasons and now a working group has been set up to try and find a solution.

Wrexham councillor Marc Jones told The Leader: "Local councillors Marc Jones, Phil Wyn and David Bithell held a productive meeting with the new club chief executive Michael Williamson and we have agreed in principle to set up a working group to improve traffic issues on matchdays. Everyone understands the need to address the subject and councillors, the club, the police and council will be looking at a range of solutions to make life better for both residents and fans."

It's not far off four years since Hollywood actors Reynolds and McElhenney took over at Wrexham and in that time they have done wonders for the club. They have overseen two promotions from the National League, given the Red Dragons a global following off the back of their documentary series 'Welcome to Wrexham' and have used their business acumen to secure lucrative sponsorships, too. But as they pack out the Racecourse - which holds just over 12,000 fans - and as interest in the team has grown, the infrastructure around it needs to keep pace with that surge as well.

Phil Parkinson's men return to League One action on Saturday, October 19, away at Rotherham United, before taking on Huddersfield Town three days later on home turf. It remains to be seen how long it will take before some form of action comes from the aforementioned partnership with the council and the club.
