WREXHAM AFC'S STok Cae Ras ground will soon have a new stand in place to replace the old historic Kop.

Wrexham Council recently approved an application to allow 5,500 seats to be used at the new Kop stand.

That will take the capacity of what is the world's oldest active international football stadium to over 16,000 once it opens.

A temporary stand is currently in place for the rest of the Reds' 2023/24 season as they look to earn promotion to EFL League One.

And although Wrexham AFC has confirmed that the new Kop won't be ready for the start of next season (24/25), it will be built in the next few years, with fans already eagerly anticipating its arrival.

With that in mind, we asked our readers (and Wrexham fans) what they would call the new stand once it's open or who they would dedicate it to.

And the top four answers from that were; The Joey Jones Kop, The Jacko Kop, The Rob and Ryan Kop and The Colliers Kop.

Earlier this week, I held a Twitter poll to see which of these answers our readers would vote for if given the choice.

4.2% chose Rob and Ryan, and 12.5% voted for Jacko - which would be a tribute to much-loved late Wrexham fan Ian 'Jacko' Roberts.

37.5% selected a nod to Wrexham legend Joey Jones, but the overall winner was the 'Colliers Kop' with 45.8% of the vote.

That would of course be a fitting tribute to Wrexham's rich mining history.

It would also serve as a reminder of the Gresford Colliery Disaster which led to the death of 266 men in 1934.

Many of those miners had been ‘doubling up’ so they could watch the Wrexham match on Saturday afternoon against Tranmere Rovers.
