Wrexham AFC will begin the installation of rail seating at its stadium, STōK Cae Ras, following the EFL Championship fixture against Leicester City on Tuesday January 20.
The development, initially announced in May 2025, will see rail seating installed in the Upper Tier of the STōK Cold Brew Coffee Stand, allowing for supporters to stand safely in line with current stadium regulations.
The project has been developed in consultation with the Club’s Safety Advisory Group (SAG), which includes representatives from the local authority, emergency services and other key stakeholders.
STōK Cae Ras is currently undergoing a wider renovation project, with a complete rebuild of the Kop Stand being on track for completion by the 2026/27 season.
This will increase capacity to just over 18,000 and enable the STōK Cae Ras to achieve UEFA Category 4 compliance.
“We have designed the new Kop Stand to be both authentic and unique in its approach to hosting Wrexham’s passionate fans. The groundbreaking is a key moment for this landmark project and we are proud to be working with the club and with McLaren and the wider project team to bring this iconic design to life,” said Populous Global Director and Senior Partner, Declan Sharkey.
