Why Ryan Reynolds' & Rob McElhenney's plans to expand Wrexham's Racecourse Ground stadium could leave the Turf Pub under threat - explained

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-reveal-plans-stok-cae-ras-stadium/blte2a85bcb646e6bc0#cs47d6c726bdd05ee2" target="_blank">Rob McElhenney confirmed Wrexham's plans to expand the Racecourse Ground to 50,000 seats</a>, a number that would see them top both Chelsea and Aston Villa, in the Premier League. However, there are a number of hurdles that the Welsh club need to clear if they are to find a way to complete such an ambitious restructuring.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Per <a href="https://theathletic.com/5463225/2024/05/01/wrexham-racecourse-stadium-expansion/?source=user-shared-article" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>, Wrexham would need to buy a large plot of land behind the main stand, but they currently house both a university car park and student accommodation. The club sold the land in 2006, and would need to buy it back, and then potentially demolish the buildings to make way for fresh stands. It remains to be seen if they would be willing to do that, and if the land would even be for sale.

THE EXPLANATION

Wrexham also face a significant hurdle with The Turf pub. It has become a star of the Welcome to Wrexham documentary, but it would likely also need to be demolished if an extension were to take place, while trees behind the Tech End would also need tearing down. These are thorny logistical issues for Wrexham to overcome.

DID YOU KNOW?

Wrexham's league season is over. It remains to be seen if they do take steps to try to expand the stadium further, however, as they continue to climb the leagues.
