Wrexham Lager to sponsor Racecourse football ground stand in deal that will see it renamed
Wrexham AFC has announced that Wrexham Lager has committed to sponsoring the Yale Stand for the next three seasons.
Featuring their famous logo, the renamed Wrexham Lager Stand will advertise the brand that has become synonymous with the town.
The company has a long association with the football club – recently taken over by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney – having most recently been short sponsors.
The stand, which features the Club Shop and offices, Centenary Club, Director’s Box and Board Room will be known as the Wrexham Lager Stand through to and including the 2023/24 season.
Wrexham AFC recently announced TikTok as the main shirt sponsor while Ifor Williams Trailers will be on the shorts.
Wrexham AFC CEO Fleur Robinson said: “We are delighted to have found a new home for Wrexham Lager, other than just behind the Club’s bars, and they are a perfect partner to have their name adorning our stand.
“Their ethos fits perfectly with our own – a local company, with a proud and storied history and an international reputation, which is exactly what we want to achieve with the Football Club too.
“They are a brand synonymous with the town, and with a long history of sponsoring the Football Club, and we are proud to continue our association with them at the start of this latest chapter in our own story.”
Wrexham Lager are based out of the centre of Wrexham, with the Wrexham Lager Brewery Shop sited on St. George’s Crescent within walking distance of the Racecourse Ground.
First established in 1882, the brand was revived in 2011 by the Roberts family to ensure a pint of Britain’s first and oldest lager could be enjoyed once more.
They returned as the Football Club’s short sponsors the following year, with Wrexham served on tap at the Racecourse Ground, and they now take the partnership forward as proud stand sponsors.
