SUPPORTER INFORMATION | Wrexham AFC vs Torquay United

Important information for supporters ahead of Rob and Ryan's first match

29 October 2021

With co-chairmen Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds in attendance for the first time at the Racecourse Ground, Wrexham host Torquay United on Saturday October 30. The match kicks off at 3pm.

The game is all-ticket and tickets bought online must be collected from the Club Shop, which will be open from 9am on match-day, until 2.45pm. We advise supporters arrive early to collect their ticket to help our efforts to get all supporters into the stadium before kick-off.

Rob and Ryan will address supporters on the pitch before the game too, and so we advise you get into your seat early to see and hear from our co-chairmen.

Please also read the important information below, and continue to be patient with staff and volunteers on the day. Thank you for your incredible support so far this season.

Ticketing and entry

All tickets purchased online for this game are being made available for collection from the Club Shop. No tickets have been posted out, and all supporters who have bought online should report to the shop.

The Club Shop is open from 9am-2.45pm on Saturday, however all ticket holders in the Macron Stand should collect their tickets from the reception on the Mold Road side of the stadium if arriving later than 1.30pm.

To avoid the risk of long queues on match-day, and leading up to kick-off, we ask all supporters to collect their tickets as far in advance as possible.

Gates open for this game at 1.30pm and we advise supporters enter the stadium as early as possible to ensure you are in place to welcome our co-chairmen to the pitch.

Please note, there will be no cash turnstiles in operation for this all-ticket game.

Again, we ask all supporters to get to the Racecourse Ground early where possible, to reduce queuing times and ensure any enquiries can be dealt with promptly and well in advance of kick-off time.

Wrexham Lager Stand ticket holders should enter via turnstiles 3-10. Macron Stand ticket holders should use turnstiles 25-30. WREXRENT Stand ticket holders enter via turnstiles 36-42.

Please only sit in your specified seat, and keep hold of your ticket in case any issues arise. Supporters found inside the Racecourse Ground without a valid ticket may be ejected.

Please stay off the playing surface at all times. In order for our co-chairmen to safely address supporters, we ask all supporters to adhere to this essential stadium guideline. Anybody who fails to comply with this will be ejected from the stadium and face the strictest possible punishment, and will potentially ruin the plans for the day for your fellow supporters.

Supporter conduct

Following a very small number of isolated incidents, we urge all supporters to consider their conduct when watching Wrexham AFC, and how this reflects on your fellow supporters’ safety and match-day experience.

As above, you must not enter the playing surface at any time and our co-chairmen may have to abandon their plans to address you supporters if this is not adhered to.

Anybody found throwing objects or using pyrotechnics will be dealt with as strictly as possible.

Pyrotechnics and smoke bombs, in particular, have no place in a football stadium, and we are aware of an incident at a recent National League game in which somebody working at the game was nearly hit with one too.

Incidents at some of our own recent matches have resulted in the Club being charged and we face financial penalties as a result.

Do not let your Club and your fellow supporters down with your behaviour, and please report any concerns to your nearest steward.

We are working with the relevant authorities to identify the attendees involved in the aforementioned incidents and anybody identified will face stadium bans.

We are aware that this refers only to a very small number of isolated incidents, but we urge all supporters to work together to help us to stamp this out.

Please show our co-chairmen and the watching world the very best of Wrexham AFC.

Away supporters

Away supporters for this game will occupy the lower tier of the Wrexham Lager Stand. Entry is via turnstiles 1-2.
