I remember seeing an early photo of a female hockey player, possibly on The Racecourse. I will see if I can find it again. I understand that the Wrexham Tennis Club would use the bowling green pavillion as changing rooms in the early days. |

Another thing that I did not know until recently was that Fred Perry played in a tennis tournament on The Racecourse in 1955, along with Ken Mcgregor, Richard Gonzales and Pancho Segura

A non-frothy submission from a long standing supporter and follower who has seen many changes of fortune at Wrexham AFC over 70+ years: Seriously, how much longer will professional football continue to be played at The Racecourse in the future in the event of any relegation from the current National League?

Much of this concrete step work was, as i understood, carried out by the then supporters association. If I am wrong I am sure someone will correct me.
At the top of the photo one can see the white gables of the old house that was situated to the rear of the Kop bank. That house and outbuildings housed an army surplus store under the management of Major Taylor - A fearsome character to some - But as a youngster I found him an ok guy. |
