They will never ever get that type of Support and I stand by that:


Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney say their long-term ambition is to increase the club’s stadium capacity to as much as 55,000!

Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney say their long-term ambition is to increase the club’s stadium capacity to as much as 55,000.


A new 5,500 all-seater stand is already planned at the Racecourse Ground as a replacement for the Kop end, which has been unused since 2007.
But after delays to the start of work, a temporary 2,289 stand has been erected instead.
Wrexham’s Hollywood co-owners are currently publicising season three of the 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary - charting the club’s promotion from League Two - and have outlined their future plans for Stok Racecourse.
“We have a plan in place right now that would eventually work from stand to stand, so eventually you get all four sides,” McElhenney told American entertainment website Collider.
“It's hard to say for sure, but we think we could get between 45-55,000 people in there”.
With tickets for matches in high demand, Reynolds said he wants to be in a situation where “the whole town could come to the game”.


Three years on - the Wrexham takeover in numbers



It had been hoped the new Kop stand would be ready for the start of the 2024-25 season, but Reynolds and McElhenney have been frustrated by delays to the project.
“I think the thick buttress of bureaucracy is the biggest problem,” said Reynolds.
“I live in New York, Rob lives in LA [Los Angeles], where construction is very different, in as much as they will charge you $10 for every $1 you spend.
“But in Wales, it really is a lot of red tape, and it's just sort of figuring out ways to tick all those boxes and make sure that every single bureaucrat is happy."
McElhenney agrees, adding: “It is definitely a comedic point of consternation in the show how often we're running up against bureaucracy.
“And, of course, safety concerns and things like that, and all those regulations are there in place for a reason, but then there are some things that just seem like hurdles for hurdles' sake.

“It's a lot harder to build in the UK than, I found, almost anywhere else in the world.”

I would agree with you IF they're serious which I very much doubt. The new season of their welcome to Wrexham series starts tomorrow here in the USA & they're just getting as much publicity as possible for it. You can't say that they haven't done well so far but as so many said this time last year for this season (including most here) they will find it hard to sustain the success.

I'm all for most things in Wales getting as much good coverage as possible around the world & they have certainly done that for Wrexham & for Wales as a whole and would love for all 4 Welsh clubs to be in the same division one day, not that it is likely to happen.
