Wrexham have confirmed that work has commenced on a brand-new pitch at the SToK Cae Ras stadium.
The Red Dragons announced this week that after securing a historic third-straight promotion, the club have begun preparations for their first Championship campaign in 43 years.
Since the end of the League One season, in which Wrexham finished second, the pitch at their stadium has been cleared.
All of the surface at the SToK Cae Ras has been removed, including the pitch, irrigation system and soil
That has allowed the club to install a brand-new stitch pitch that will have undersoil heating and new drainage systems.
They explained that the ongoing work on the new surface, which is reported to cost £1million, includes ‘the installation of new irrigation pumps, tanks and pipework, and a gravel layer’.
After the gravel layer is in place, a lower and upper rootzone will be laid, before the pitch is seeded and stitched this summer.
Wrexham state it will create ‘a state-of-the-art, UEFA-compliant facility for first-team home matches.’
