WREXHAM are set to upgrade their stadium by adding rail seating in one of their stands.
Ryan Reynolds‘ club are continuing their incredible journey under their Hollywood ownership after enjoying three straight promotions to the Championship last season.
The Welsh outfit are now ninth in the second tier and just one point off the play-offs as they push for a fairytale promotion to the Premier League.
And Wrexham are continuing to evolve by ramping up plans to change their stadium by introducing safe standing.
The club said it would make the installation in the SToK Cold Brew Coffee Stand behind the goal – which would also extend to the top tier.
However, the club stressed they still have a license for an all-seater stadium until the end of the campaign, meaning fans will only be able to stand up for key moments, such as goals.
Work will begin to install the rail seating after Wrexham’s home clash against Leicester City on January 20.
It is expected to be completed on February 7, in time for their next home game against Millwall.
The club said: “Following our update in May regarding the installation of rail seating in the STōK Cold Brew Coffee Stand, we can confirm works will begin immediately after the match against Leicester City on Monday January 20.
“It is important to note that, at least until the end of the 2025/26 season, the Club’s stadium license will continue to be for an all-seater stadium.

“This means supporters will still be expected to remain seated for the majority of the match, with standing only anticipated at key moments such as goal celebrations and significant match incidents.
This should be consistent with how supporters already experience matches, but allows those moments to take place in a safer and more controlled way.
“All installation work and matchday operation will be delivered in line with governing bodies to ensure the highest standards of spectator safety are met.
Wrexham are the latest Championship club making plans to revamp their stadiums.
In October, Norwich City revealed plans to expand Carrow Road and introduce a new fan zone.

Meanwhile, Oxford United are set to build a new 16,000-capacity stadium near Kidlington after being given the green light for the new development.
And Birmingham City also unveiled ambitious plans for a £1.2billion arena with a 62,000 capacity that has a striking design including 12 chimneys.
