ALL OF Wrexham's new floodlights will be in place at the Racecourse for the season opener this Saturday (August 5), the club has confirmed.
The Reds will end a 15-year wait to return to the English Football League on what will no doubt be a historic afternoon.
Phil Parkinson's side will be welcoming MK Dons to north Wales in their League Two opener.
And the club has now confirmed that the final floodlight tower will be erected in the next 48 hours and fully operational for that match.
The remaining original tower will then be removed next week.

The full impact of the floodlights will not be seen that day however due to the match being a 3pm kick-off.
But, they will be witnessed days later when Wigan Athletic arrive at the Racecourse for a Carabao Cup clash.
A statement from Wrexham AFC added: "While it had been hoped that the installation would have been completed before now, we are delighted that it will soon be in place and the full impact of the new floodlights will be evident on Tuesday evening for the visit of Wigan Athletic in the Carabao Cup which will also be live on Sky Sports.
"There will be several temporary measures in place for the next two games that were necessary to facilitate the completion of the floodlight installation and we would like to thank everyone for their support in this regard."
