Have you ever witnessed a club that is as connected as Wrexham? Probably not in recent times. But starting from the fans, the players, staff, and the entire community are together. Most of it is because of the owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Moreover, the Racecourse Ground helped the players to receive invaluable support from the players. The place is special for everyone. It is so special that Ryan has a weird idea to make it even better.
In a recent interview, they joked about living inside the stadium in the future. Having a couch on the terrace and watching the game in utmost comfort is a dream for most fans. With their unpredictable nature and Hollywood spice in their bags, we cannot turn the joke down for now.

To dream is to date, and certainly, Ryan and Rob have effectively done that. Taking bold decisions is one of the fundamental reasons for the club to enjoy this promotion. With success comes off-the-field developments. The owners are expanding the Racecourse Ground as they are developing a two-tier 4200 seater opposite the Kop. It is where the joke starts. In a recent interview, Ryan mentioned his wildest dream to date.
Having received a 21 million cash boost from the Wrexham government to develop the stadium, funds are of plenty for Wrexham right now. According to the RobRyanRed podcast, Ryan mentioned, “Our greatest goal is to redevelop the opposite end of the Kop. The Tech End. Our dream is to have two apartments in there!” Even though it is a surprise, one won’t put the chips down on these two. They have kept their promise and delivered for some time now. Thus, one won’t be surprised if this dream becomes a reality.
Comparing this to Arsenal’s Highbury ground, it is something the club can look at in the future. As they keep getting successful, Wrexham will receive more fans to support apart from the hardcore fans at the club. Ultimately, a new stadium would be necessary if the club’s trajectory is heading in the current direction. Look no further to English Premier League giants Arsenal.

Arsenal develops homes in Highbury!
As soon as Arsenal switched to the Emirates Stadium, they transformed the old Highbury into housing in 2010. They built around 700 homes in the stadium, providing a spectacular set of homes in Arsenal’s old home ground. With the current cash injection, it will be easier for the club to expand its stadium.
The club is on the rise, and the cash injection provides financial assistance to the club. Expanding the stadium is something necessary in the future. It helps the stadium to fill fans and helps to generate more revenue for the club. Installing a penthouse at the Racecourse Ground would be a unique idea. Imagine the price for that? Make it happen, Ryan and Rob!
