League One

Stockport County

Wrexham

<p>Former Wrexham boss Dean Saunders has revealed his thoughts behind the ambitions of the club's owners to build a brand new stadium that could end up having a capacity of 55,000 people.</p><p>Saunders, who managed the club between 2008 and 2011 believes Wrexham could far exceed his initial goals of having 25,000 fans <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/no-point-aim-10th-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-promotion-dream-arthur-okonkwo-ambition-wrexham/blt3801666526246bf6" target="_blank">in the Championship</a> due to the influx of 'fans from everywhere'.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Wrexham have enjoyed enormous growth since their 'Hollywood' takeover in 2021, which has seen the club rise from the Conference National to League One, achieving sell-out crowds along the way.</p><p>McElhenney and Reynolds have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-address-stok-racecourse-problem-surge-popularity-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/bltea25e6768bcd8e1b" target="_blank">continued to invest in the infrastructure of the club </a>in order to build on the new-found interest in the Welsh side.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking on talkSPORT, Saunders said: “I mean, they are gaining fans from everywhere. The series they put on, obviously what they are doing for the town, and I wouldn’t put it past them. 55,000 is a lot to ask. And, I thought, at the time, looking back, I remember thinking, we will get 25,000 for getting in the Championship. We might get 25,000. But to make the stadium a 55,000 capacity, it’s just incredible.”</p>

WHAT SAUNDERS SAID

<p>Wrexham will continue building their case for a bigger stadium on the pitch when they face off against Rotherham next Saturday.</p><p>Phil Parkinson's side are second in League One as they aim for an astonishing third-successive promotion.</p>
