FURTHER drone footage of the Racecourse Kop being pulled apart has been released.
Wrexham Council’s planning committee has given the green light to Wrexham AFC's proposals for a replacement Kop at the iconic ground in early November.
Before the club was purchased by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in 2021, fans had long dreamed of a new stand to replace the current Kop which has been derelict for almost 15 years.
And that dream is now set to come true with the new development raising the Racecourse capacity from 10,000 to 15,500.

Jason Lewis of Draig Drone posted another drone video on January 11.
It showed the back of the Kop stand completely stripped.
He said: "History being made, more footage documented on Draig Drone YouTube channel. No doubt the club has also filmed the demolition process in more detail as it is so important to the memories of fans scattered all around the globe."

The whole of the original Kop has now been removed over the last two weeks.
It is hoped that the new Kop at the Racecourse could be ready as early as 2024/25 season.
It is hoped international football can then return to the North Wales ground soon after.
