Wrexham A.F.C.'s Remarkable Rise Continues Off the Pitch
Wrexham A.F.C.'s remarkable rise under Hollywood ownership is now just as visible off the pitch as it is on it. Fresh comparison footage has highlighted just how dramatically the Racecourse Ground has changed over the past three years.
What Happened?
A new video from Mister Drone UK comparing the Racecourse Ground in January 2023 with July 2026 has showcased the scale of Wrexham's stadium transformation, with the Kop Stand redevelopment dominating the changes. The side-by-side comparison illustrates how the ground has evolved over the past three-and-a-half years, with construction well advanced on the club's new Kop Stand as Wrexham edge closer to restoring the Racecourse Ground to a fully four-sided stadium.
Why it Matters for Wrexham A.F.C.
Once complete, the redevelopment will increase the stadium's capacity to more than 18,000 spectators while also delivering modern facilities and infrastructure capable of supporting the club's continued rise through the English football pyramid. The footage also highlights the wider improvements made around the stadium, including the installation of a new state-of-the-art pitch and the arrival of pre-fabricated concrete sections that now form a key part of the new stand's structure.
What Comes Next?
The comparison follows previous time-lapse updates documenting the build, but offers perhaps the clearest visual reminder yet of how dramatically the Racecourse Ground has changed in such a short period. The speed of the redevelopment mirrors the club's rise on the pitch, with Wrexham continuing to modernise their home while preserving the character that has made the Racecourse Ground so unique.
The club is currently 7th in the Championship, with 71 points from 46 games, and is 24 points behind leaders Coventry. They have scored 69 goals and conceded 65 this season, with a +4 goal difference. The title race is heating up, and Wrexham A.F.C. will be looking to make a push for the top spot in the coming months.
