The massive Wrexham AFC history thread (The sad case of a founding members and player of Wrexham...)

Excellent read. I go back to when I was a lad and how the Racecourse was then, the Tech End was covered terrace with the boy's pen in the corner. The Yale side was a continuation of the Tech End and the Kop had this stand that looked odd to the rest of the ground with a wooden stand that occupying the Mold Road side.
The read up to how it got to that stage was fascinating.

Recall that the boys pen was conveniently situated adjacent to where players came out. Wonder if it could be called a 'boys' pen today !!

To the rear was the old Gym. The Boys Pen terracing was slightly raised so you has a good view to the Tech End goal and was partly covered by corrugated roof.

I think it has been mentioned elsewhere that the sheds at the Tech end (Plas Coch ) and Popular side were supplied and built by an agricultural contractor ! from Whitchurch ??

That’s a great find. Yeah looks 30s ish. Shame we can’t see a little further right regards the slanted stand.

Lots of church spires in the photo.. One must be St Mary's. And one St Marks. The one closest to the ground looks like it's close to the railway line.

Could be a wartime fixture? Can't see us playing Villa in the League or Cup til 1961 (I could be very wrong though)

St Marks was a C of W church and had at the time the tallest spire in Wales !!
When a youngster I tried to climb the inside of the spire when the church was closed. but failed.
