The Racecourse has been the home of Wrexham Football Club since it was founded in 1872. Proudly advertised on their website as "North Wales' Premier Sporting Venue", it has an attendance record of 34,445 for a 1952 fourth round FA Cup game against Manchester United. It is now a 15,500 mostly seated stadium with only terracing available in the Home "kop" end. Notable managers over the years have included Jack Rowley, Arfon Griffiths, Brian Flynn and, of course, Dixie McNeil whilst the club are currently led by Dennis Smith.
Visiting fans are accommodated in the Eric Roberts (Builders) Stand which is all seated. It is likely that Bulls supporters will be put in the Upper tier which offers a good view of the pitch.
Admission is £16 for adults and £5 for juniors (U16) with our senior fans being charged £10.
Directions: - A49 north towards Slopbury. At the Baileys Garden Centre roundabout take the A5 sign Oswestry. As you approach Oswestry, stay on the A5 following signs for Wrexham. From Ruabon the road becomes the A483. Stay on this road as it is also the Wrexham by-pass. Continue until you reach the Mold (A541) junction. Follow signs for Wrexham Town Centre and the Football Stadium will become visible after some 300 yards. Parking is mainly in the streets although I understand the local school/college is also available. Distance is about 80 miles. For those with Sat. Nav. the post code is LL11 2AH.
Wrexham Train Station is next to the ground. However, this does not appear to be an option as the earliest train arrives an hour after KO!

Alehouses: - The twelve noon kick-off this is not likely to allow a lot of pre-match drinking time, which is a pity because Wrexham is reputed to have the highest Pubs to population ratio in the UK! Nearest is probably the "Plas Coch" which is on the nearby Retail Park just passed Homebase. Also fairly close to the ground is "The Walnut", which is in Crispin Lane behind the home end. Walking towards the Town Centre you will find a Wetherspoons outlet called "The Elihu Yale" in Regent Street. A little further on is the "Horse & Jockey", a thatched pub with a decent offering of real ale and good food.
Enjoy.
