The Wrexham Gateway Project would see the capacity of the Racecourse increased to over 15,000, returning the world’s oldest international football stadium to its full four-sided glory.

LOL,

One all seater stand does not make a stadium!

At a time when we may just be getting four working sides of the Racecourse, we may not have enough of an attendance to warrant opening all four!

I'm assuming it'll be some sort of tie up with the 'North Wales' metro, something funding hasn't been secured for the whole scheme either and will be completed between now and 2035. Meanwhile down in south Wales their equivalent needs to be completed by 2023 to secure all funding.

Don't hold your breath, it won't be the clubs fault, however those in charge are being sucked in and need to be rather more cautious.

JCP seem to be happy......

It looks like the new Kop is about to become a reality and that is a landmark moment for the club.
Credit to the clubs Directors for securing what looks like a 5m plus investment in the club.

I still read it as potentially... They have approved budget for land acquisition.... That will be the hotel and conference land behind the kop? Think we are a way off tbh

It's just a shame they haven't secured a 5m plus investment in the first team, the only thing that matters at a FOOTBALL club.

Has Wrexham going Conservative stirred the Labour beast in Cardiff.. Or is it the usual hot air.??
I think most fans are concentrating on the League Table at the moment..

The board would just piss it up the wall like they’ve done with hundreds of thousands of pounds this season
