Continue on the A5 past Shrewsbury and Oswestry and then join the A483 towards Wrexham. Stay on the A483 as you reach Wrexham (this is the Wrexham by-pass). Then as above. Street parking.

General Information:

The Racecourse is a classic looking football ground with four prominent floodlight pylons and a large home terrace. The stadium also has a great blend of the old and the new, with the Mold Road Stand, having a modern interesting design. To show how times have changed and the amount of all seated stadiums that there are now, Wrexham now boasts the largest terrace in the league, with the Kop Terrace having a capacity of 4,000. This stand is a throw back to when every ground had a similar kind of terrace and even the crowd barriers are painted in the club colours of red & white (rather than those dull metallic coloured barriers present in modern stands). The terrace which is located at one end of the ground, is partly covered (to the rear).

At the other end is the Eric Roberts Builders Stand. This stand which was opened in 1978 is a two tiered stand, covered and all seated. It has a couple of supporting pillars, situated between the two tiers. It also has an electric scoreboard on its roof. On one side is the Yale Stand. This stand was opened in 1972 and got its name from the Yale College, which was situated behind this stand. It is a fair sized two tiered covered stand, which is now all seated, having previously had terracing at the front. The team dugouts are located in front of this stand. Opposite is the Mold Road Stand that was opened in 1999. This side of the ground has been unused for a number of years so its construction greatly improved the overall ground appearance. It is semi circular in design with a capacity of 3,500 seats and features an unusual roof design.

Future Developments
Glyn Davies informs me; 'The Club have received planning permission to re-develop the Kop End of the ground with a new 5,000 seater stand. The scheme will also involve a residential development on the surrounding land'. However it is unclear as to when this will go ahead, although 2014 has been suggested.

A Fans View:

Away fans are now housed in the upper tier of the Yale Stand, at one side of the pitch, towards the Eric Roberts Builders Stand. On my last visit I found Wrexham to be relaxed and friendly, with both sets of supporters mixing freely in the pubs beforehand. The atmosphere was generally good, however there were a section of Wrexham supporters in the Pryce Griffiths Stand who seemed to be permanently baiting the away fans. Inside the ground a range of food is on offer including; Cheese burgers (£3.10),
Hot dogs (£2.90), Burgers (£2.90), Pies/Pasties (£2.50) and Large Sausage Rolls (£2.30).

Tim Porter a visiting Torquay United supporter adds; 'The signs around the ground directing visiting fans to the appropriate entrance are poor. We followed the signs from the Yale Stand for 'Visiting Supporters' which took us to one end of the ground. There were no signs here and so we paid our £13 /£7 and went in. We were just a bit surprised to walk up the bank and find ourselves on the Wrexham Kop! I explained our mistake to a steward who said it was always happening! He kindly led us through the ground to the away end. It wasn't until I was looking at the notes I'd made from the guide at the services on the way home, that I realised it was £16 for adults and £11 for juniors in the away end, so I'd inadvertently saved £7!'. Of course the Guide doesn't recommend that you do this to save money of course, take time to make sure you are at the proper section first, before parting with your cash'.
