Wrexham’s highest ever home crowd for an FA Trophy fixture is set to descend on the Racecourse Ground for Saturday’s semi-final with Stockport County.

The top two teams in the Vanarama National League take a break from league action to face each other for a place at Wembley. The match kicks off at 12.30pm, and will also be live-streamed.

Tickets are still available to buy online from our eTicketing website and we ask all supporters to select the eTicket/print-at-home option wherever possible. There will be no cash turnstiles in operation on the day.

Please also read the important information about visiting the Racecourse Ground tonight – including important notes on bag searching and supporter conduct.

• Ensure the print is of sufficient quality to be read by the scanners on the turnstiles, and not faded/discoloured
• Make sure you do not fold along the QR code

How to use an eTicket on your phone 

• Load your ticket up on your phone before getting to the turnstiles
• Ensure your phone is carrying enough charge before leaving for the Racecourse Ground
• Ensure your screen is not damaged in anyway
• Set your screen brightness to full

Bag searching

Those attending fixtures at the Racecourse Ground are asked not to bring a bag to matches unless necessary, with small bags to be searched and tagged by security staff.

Fans should note that random searching may also be undertaken on entry to the stands. The Club would like to thank all supporters for their co-operation in this area.

You can see a full list of prohibited items in our Ground Regulations.

Supporter conduct

Wrexham AFC would like to remind supporters of the Club’s zero-tolerance stance towards unacceptable behaviour.

We are proud to be a welcoming family Club, and we are proud of the role we play in our community, but must reiterate that instances of unacceptable behaviour do not fall in line with these values.

For clarity, home or away, supporters should not under any circumstances:

• Enter the field of play, at any time.
• Throw objects, such as bottles and especially pyrotechnics
• Bring, let alone use, pyrotechnics such as flares and smoke bombs to any stadium.

Wrexham AFC strongly condemns the behaviour of a small group of attendees on occasion this season, whose actions have at times impacted on the match-going experience, home and away, of our true supporters.

As ever, the Club will work closely with North Wales Police to identify anyone involved in these isolated incidents, with those found to be in breach of ground regulations, or engaging in disorder or anti-social behaviour, facing stadium bans.

Should you encounter any trouble or unacceptable behaviour, you can report this to your nearest steward or, confidentially, by emailing info@wrexhamafc.co.uk.

Away supporters

Parking

Parking is available in the Wrexham Glyndwr University car park, adjacent to the stadium, at a cost of £3 per car. Blue badge parking is also available.

We are advising supporters who sit in the Wrexham Lager Stand to not use the gate between the University and the Wrexham AFC Club Shop, but to instead walk towards Crispin Lane and head onto the club car park that way.

We know all supporters are proud of our place in the community, and we ask everybody to respect that when parking their cars so as to avoid disruption to our neighbours.

Please also be mindful of our neighbours when leaving the Racecourse Ground, and take care when walking to and from the stadium.
