History

In March 2009 planning permission was granted to demolish Cefn's old stadium, Plaskynaston Lane, and replace it with a Tesco supermarket.[3] Delays to the beginning of construction put the project back by 12 months and the club moved into the new stadium in August 2010.[4]

Cefn Druids and Gresford Athletic announced in March 2023 that they had signed a multi-year agreement to groundshare at the stadium, effective immediately and during at least the 23/24 season.[5] The agreement remained in place until September 2024.[6]

In March 2023, it was announced that Wrexham AFC Women would move to The Rock in order to obtain a Tier 1 license.[7] On 5 August 2025, it was announced that Wrexham had completed the purchase of the stadium, making The Rock the permanent home for Wrexham AFC Women. As a condition of the sale, Cefn Druids would continue to have use of the facilities for their training and fixtures.[8]

Facilities

The new complex at Rhosymedre includes a 512-seat stand, a club house and a television gantry. As it is sited in a disused quarry, one side of the stadium features a sheer rock wall. In 2016, a 3G pitch was installed at the stadium.[9]

Attendances

The record attendance at the stadium was set in June 2017 as 1,854 attended a friendly against Wrexham.[10] The record attendance for a regular season league game at The Rock is 662 for a game against TNS. A Europa League play off game against Cardiff Met in May 2018 attracted a crowd of 779 supporters.[11]
