Football supporters travelling to Wrexham AFC home matches are being encouraged to plan their journeys and make use of a range of affordable public transport and parking options this season.
Arriva Bus Travel: A new promotional Arriva bus fare will allow supporters travelling to a home match anywhere within Wrexham County, to purchase an Adult Day ticket for £2 when they show proof of their match ticket.
Eagles Meadow Free Parking: The Club is also continuing this season with its offer of free parking at Eagles Meadow on matchdays. Supporters parking at Eagles Meadow simply need to pass by the Official Club Shop and enter their car registration number in the online system to qualify.
Urban Canvas Creators
The club knew the site was going to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors during its lengthy construction - so to brighten up the perimeter fence outside, they employed a team of talented street artists from all over the UK. We caught up with some of them back in March to capture them working and creating a series of amazing installations - albeit temporary. Check them out in Crispin Lane, take the first left past The Turf when heading into town.
Some of the team making it happen
The Steel
Team
Back in May we had a catch up with some of the steel team - the welders - who had arrived from out of town - to connect it all together.
Stopping by for a pitstop brew at Wayne's Butty Van - we caught up with Cameron, Steve, Luke and Connor, who told us they were going to be here for at least 4 weeks. Or try and 'have it all finished by 4.30pm - if they got a move on!'
Rising up above the town
The New
Kop Stand
In July, we took this photo from the top of St Giles' Church - all the way from the heart of town. Showing the sheer scale of this massive project dwarfing the existing Mold Road Stand built in 1999 just to the left.
