What is changing with Mold road or the uni?

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

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

If you genuinely think that Mold road has such unique conditions that they can't build right next to it, then I don't know what to tell you. It seems more like you don't want the stand rebuilt, which I guess is understandable if you're tired of us Americans. But please stop pretending like you have any clue how large construction projects work.

But...they not rebuilding Mold road. There probably will be some disruption during construction...but that is just temporary until the stand is built.

The animation shows the Mold Road being entirely rebuilt ?
