55,000 seater stadium

You can’t knock their ambitions though, it’s still so surreal from where we were pre Covid to League One next season, and they are just getting started.

not sure if i have taken this differently to other people;

" we have a plan that eventually goes from stand to stand, and its hard to say for sure but we think we could get between 45-55k people in there"
The way I interpret that is that they would do it over time slowly as the club expands.....

They are business people and surely wouldn't spend a fortune to expand a stadium that will not sell out as that would not make financial sense.

I interpret that as once the Kop is built and our capacity is a certain amount, if we then are still selling out we will look to increase capacity again, and so on and so on....

Also given that some of our current revenue streams / sponsorships are based on likes / clicks / engagement, they have to say the targets are massive ie premier league, big stadium etc etc etc as this drives engagement in the international social media markets.

If they turned round on a TV show or podcast whatever that was and said we want to consolidate in league one for the next 5 years with a 10,000 attendance then its hardly going to excite people internationally, drive views to the documentary and attract other investment in the club.

One thing I would like to see them progress in a big way though would be the training ground, i feel we are getting to the point where this will become important, if we get it right its a massive selling point to getting players in, "come here and develop in our state of the art facilites" sounds so much better than what we have now.

I've learnt to not dismiss anything when it comes to WAFC.

Half of them there were just to say they've seen Ryan Reynolds. Those 40,000 arent turning up week in week out.

I’ve seen a lot of things I never thought I’d see in the last 3 years as a Wrexham fan but a 50k stadium full of Wrexham fans is cloud cuckoo land stuff. Maybe they watched field of dreams recently?

Really hope this is 100% not serious.

Not enough top reds on this thread!!

R&R see us as becoming a 'global force', and so they have stadium ambitions to match.

It will obviously be a slow, modular approach as each stand is developed, and we will see along the way if and when ticket demand plateaus.

I very much doubt we ever get to 45k+ though.

Just can't wait to see the structure of the new Kop emerge.

If you build it they will come
