<p>The green light has been given for the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-do-it-right-warning-wrexham-battle-hollywood-co-owners-criticism-locals-training-ground-plans/blt593cb732673be99b" target="_blank">Red Dragons to construct a purpose-built base</a> that will house their men’s, women’s and youth teams.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Wrexham have enjoyed rapid growth regardless of the issues being endured off the field, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-wrexham-rivals-jealous-red-dragons-green-eyed-monster/blt0747835915f571b5" target="_blank">Hollywood co-owners helping to fund a meteoric rise</a> into League One.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>They will, however, have to appeal to a greater calibre of player in order to achieve that goal – with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-say-wrexham-transfers-phil-parkinson-reveals-how-recruitment-works-hollywood-owners/bltff935dd8c9479a1d " target="_blank">presence of Reynolds and McElhenney only holding so much weight</a> in transfer talks. Chief executive Michael Williamson has made it clear why a new training facility is essential.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>He has said in <a href="https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/sport/24930344.wrexham-looking-right-location-build-training-complex/ " target="_blank"><em>The Leader</em></a>: "The reality is that when we were in the National League and in League Two, we were able to recruit players that were at a quality of the level that were above those leagues and we brought them down to help us on this journey.</p><p>"As we move up, recruitment of players in the Championship and Premier League becomes more difficult because they are looking at what facilities are being provided to the players. Training facilities are a critical part of that and we absolutely need to invest in training facilities.</p><p>"Colliers Park is fantastic, the pitch is fantastic, but it's not ours. Ultimately, the players go there and they train on the pitch but then they have to come back to The Racecourse to take showers, to get changed and to eat so it's a little bit of a disconnect there. The next step in making sure that we are sustainable as we grow is to have a training facility."</p>

WHAT CHIEF EXECUTIVE SAID

<p>The lack of training facilities has not held Wrexham back, as they continue to generate plenty of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/more-series-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhnney-make-welcome-to-wrexham-as-long-as-they-can-deadpool-actor-more-emotionally-attached-red-dragons-than-marvel-hollywood/bltc2428a5bcd998f4c " target="_blank">drama for the club’s award-winning documentary series</a>, and A-list <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-channing-tatum-will-ferrell-hugh-jackman-want-wrexham-tickets-ryan-reynolds-explains-red-dragons-vip-guest-list/blt8fb43d88b6e1bceb" target="_blank">guests are still flocking to SToK Racecourse</a> alongside a loyal fan base that are allowing themselves to dream big.</p>
