| How to get there... |
| The Racecourse is easy accessible just off the A483 Wrexham by pass and this is linked by the A5 if approaching from the south and by the M56 and then the M53 if travelling from the north of the country. If travelling by train then Wrexham General is located next to the ground with the station served by the main Chester - Birmingham line and there is also and hourly service with Liverpool. |
| Travelling from the North: Follow the M56 towards Chester leaving at junction 15 to join the M53 southbound. After a few miles the M53 becomes the A55 and leave this road at the junction with the A483 turning left towards Wrexham. Leave the A483 at the junction with the A541 and turn left at the roundabout and then straight over the next and the ground will be ahead of you on your left hand side. |
| Travelling from the South: Follow the M54 and then the A5 past Shrewsbury and Oswestry and pick up the A483 towards Wrexham. Leave the A483 at the junction with the A541 and turn right at the roundabout and then straight over the next and the ground will be ahead of you on your left hand side. |
| Speed Cameras: It is common to find an Arrive Alive van or police cars patrolling the A483 and A5, so watch your speed on your approach to Wrexham. There is also a fixed camera located on Mold Road as you approach the Racecourse. |
| Travelling by Train: The nearest train station is Wrexham General, which is no more than a two-minute walk from the ground. Turn right out of the station and climb the steps before turning right and heading back over the bridge and towards the ground. The two centre is only a five minute walk and is found by turning left out of the station car park and following the road through two sets of lights and you will be in the town centre. If you want to find. Follow this link for Network Rail's Online Timetable or call 08457 484950. |
| Travelling by Bus: Wrexham Bus Station is only a five minute walk from the ground and is found by walking towards the multi storey car park and turn right at to the end of this road. Then walk through the set of lights and the ground will be ahead of you just past Wrexham General Train Station after just under a mile. For enquiries call 01978 363760. |
| Where to park... |
| Official Club Car Park: This car park situated at the back of the Sainsburys Stand and is only available to permit holders, officials and guests on match days. The only exception is for Reserve Matches and Premier Cup games with small attendances. |
| NEWI Car Park: Situated directly behind the away end at a cost of £2.00. The car park entrance is on your left just before your reach the football ground. |
| Local Car Park: Located opposite to the entrance to the NEWI Car Park just before the Shell Garage. This also costs £2 and you will be on the right side of the road after the game. |
| Plas Coch Retail Park: Is no more that a five-minute walk away from the ground. Turn left at the second roundabout and left again at the next one. At the next roundabout Home Base is on the left and Sainsburys is straight on - it is normal for a security guard to be on patrol on match days, so you may get turned away. The Plas Coch pub is on your right, along with ALDI's and other outlets. Parking is normally free with no restrictions except for ALDI's as they operate a clamping policy. It does get busy after the match, so prepare yourself for a 10-15 minute delay, especially with attendances over 4,000 and with a large away following. |
| Berse Road Retail Park: Located by turning right at the second roundabout and right again into the complex. Avoid this as the B&Q site is operating a maximum stay of two hours and fans have already ending up with costly parking tickets. |
| New Local Car Park: Located just after the ground beyond the Vauxhall car dealership the entrance is on your right just before the railway bridge. |
| Central Retail Park: Located just after the train station but this operates a time restriction policy. |
| Street Parking: Street parking is normally restricted to local residents by Police on match days. However, try the road junction on the right just after The Turf but this does fill up very early. There are also spaces past the ground down Crispin Lane but you will have to arrive early for a space. |
| Where to drink... |
| There are plenty of pubs around the ground and with the town centre within five minutes you will not have to travel far to find your next pint. |
| The Turf: Right next to the Kop and is mainly used by home supporters. However, it does let in away supporters in small numbers. It gets very busy in the hour leading up to kick off, so arrive early. |
| Centenary Club: The Official Supporters Club has use of the Centenary Club on matchdays and this is located behind the Sainsburys Stand with the entrance off the club car park. |
| Plas Coch: The Plas Coch Retail Park has a pub and is normally a favourite for away supporters. |
| Railway: If you walk down to the end of Crispin Lane past the ground and at the junction you turn left and then almost immediately right you will find the Railway at the end of this road. |
| The Lager Club: Walk past the station towards the town centre and the lager club is located opposite the post office depot with the entrance located at the end of offices. It is also the home of the Supporters Trust and Shropshire Reds on matchdays. |
| Town Centre: To find it walk down Mold Road into the town centre and it is the first pub on your left hand side. If you continue into the town centre McDonalds will be on your left and the next pub you reach is The Horse and Jockey and opposite that under the archway is a good chip shop. There are a more pubs on High Street and to find them continue pass the Horse and Jockey, passing Burger King on your left, and High Street is the junction with Burtons. |
| Places to Eat: If you want a meal with your pint then the bets pubs lose to the ground are the Plas Coch and Weatherspoons. There is also a Frankie and bennies further down on the Plas Coch retail park and a Pizza Hut is located directly behind the lager Club on the Central Retail Park. |
| Cash Machines: The nearest is at the Shell Garage by the Racecourse but this does charge for withdrawals. Elsewhere you will find machines at Sainsburys and Boots on the Plas Coch Retail Park with a HSBC located just past the Wetherspoons pub on the opposite side of the road. |

| Away supporters... |
| Away supporters are housed behind one
goal in the Eric Roberts Builders Stand formally called the Marstons
Stand. In preparation for the 1999 Rugby World Cup the stand was developed into an all seater with new concrete relayed to allow a better view. The top tier of the stand has just over 2,000 seats and a further 1,000 is available in the bottom tier if demand requires it. The top tier has a couple of pillars which may restrict the viewing of some seats. If the travelling support exceeds the capacity of the away end the club has made available in the past part of The Pryce Griffiths Stand and the Mold End of the Sainsburys Lower Stand. Refreshments kiosks are available in both tiers but unfortunately the toilets were not included as part of the redevelopment and have been described in one book as a scene out of Apocalypse Now (only the rivers look less clean in the film); you have been warned! |
| Disabled facilities... |
| Wrexham have 45 disabled places available at the front of the Pryce Griffiths Stand. There are 22 parking spaces and two disabled toilets with dedicated refreshment kiosks. Admission is £10 for the disabled supporter (£5 concessions) and the helper admitted free. The DSA is Tony Millington and he can be contacted at The Racecourse on 01978 262129. |
