TNS have confirmed that they will play the second leg of their UEFA Champions League tie against Liverpool in Wrexham.
According to the official TNS website, The Racecourse Ground was the club's originally nominated ground to Uefa, but the draw forced a rethink because capacity is limited to 10,000 for European ties.
However, despite considering other options, the club has now decided to return to Wrexham, which staged last season's Uefa Cup second leg against Osters IF of Sweden.
"Having weighed up all the possible options, we are more than happy to play the game in Wrexham," said managing director Mike Harris.
"The Millennium Stadium probably wouldn't be available to us as there's a three-day convention being held there in the days prior to the game. We decided taking the second leg to Anfield would've been too much trouble to organise. And how many of our fans would've actually wanted to travel to Liverpool for it?"
TNS have yet to announce a date for the tie but it will be played on either July 19th or July 20th.
Wrexham it is. And TNS has confirmed that the second leg will be on july 19th. Also from liverpoolfc.tv.
