Wrexham director Humphrey Ker clarifies Rob McElhenney 55,000-seat stadium claim

Humphrey Ker, the British comedian, actor and writer who was made executive director of Wrexham by new owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, poses for a picture on the pitch during warm up before the EFL League Two match between Wrexham and Salford City at StoK Cae Ras on October 14th 2023 in Wrexham, Wales.

Wrexham executive director Humphrey Ker is well used to club co-owner Rob McElhenney’s eager optimism and ambition, and so could not help a wry laugh when asked about the actor’s quotes that he wants to develop the club’s Racecourse Ground up to a 45,000-55,00 seater stadium.

That’s a considerable increase from their current 12,600 stadium, with their Kop end currently home to a temporary stand.
