  "account": "In December 2025, Wrexham began the full construction phase of a new £70m Kop Stand, a symbol of the club's ambitions. Despite not yet being completed, the stand dominates the skyline and the city. The club aims to open the stand next season with a Premier League capacity, doubling the current capacity of the 164-year-old venue. The new stand, designed by the company behind Wembley and the Las Vegas Sphere, is expected to provide new facilities, including a dressing room area and media facilities, close to the Turf pub where players originally changed. Additionally, a fan plaza will be situated next to the railway station. Reynolds and Mac, the club's A-list owners, are committed to funding further developments to enhance Wrexham's standing and attract more supporters.",
  "summary": "The towering new Kop stand at the Racecourse dominates the Wrexham skyline - a tangible reminder of the scale of ambition at the north Wales club.",
