Adviser Warns Wrexham’s Rise Is Outpacing Stadium Capacity, Pressuring Matchday Revenue

The club’s adviser says limited matchday income from a small stadium threatens sustainable progress.

Overview

  • Peter Moore told the World Football Summit in Madrid that a 12,000-capacity model is insufficient for Wrexham’s financial needs as the club climbs the leagues.
  • Wrexham are operating with a three-sided Racecourse Ground and an estimated 10,000 capacity this season, down from over 12,000 last year.
  • Preparatory work is underway for a new 7,000-plus Kop stand, with construction due to start imminently and completion targeted in the 2026/27 season.
  • The project would lift total capacity to about 18,000, with Wrexham Council redirecting a substantial portion of a £25 million Welsh Government grant to help fund the redevelopment.
  • CEO Michael Williamson called the contractor appointment a pivotal moment as the club, promoted three straight seasons under Phil Parkinson, sits one tier below the Premier League.
