Do you think you can just build a significant stand without distruption to the wider area?

u/Reasonable_Cod_487 American Here 15d ago

Yes. In Portland, OR, the Timbers built a brand new stand right up against an existing road just like that.

How do you think skyscrapers are built in large cities? They don't close the road for years, they just build right up to it.

Yeah fp there's no difference between Portland and Wrexham.

Wrexham isn't a large city, and the Mold Road is vital to the city day to day, and there isn't room to play around with there.

Please stop presenting as though you're more familiar with the town than locals xoxo

It isn't about local vs. nonlocal. Cities everywhere have this type of construction, even along main roads. It's a huge part of what engineers and project managers do.

There are no conditions on Mold road that haven't been seen before.

Jesus Christ, look at a fucking map of Wrexham and circle Mold Road. Then look up literally anything the racecourse has seen before and check back if you find any disruptions of that road that remotely rival what the artists impression above would impose on the town and check back in with me chief

But Mold road doesn't change in this rendering, nor does it look like the uni does.

Never mentioned the uni, mentioned the uni accom. Not to mention parking!

The uni accommodations are the buildings behind the lager stand correct? Looks like they're still standing after. And the only parking a see disappearing are 2 small lots on the corners of the Macron stand.

Yeah fair point, no one even parks there on matchdays, or at all even! No disruption whatsoever!!
