Wrexham have been branded “greedy” and “out of touch” after charging more than £150 ($183) for a jumper with the club crest.
Wrexham launches winter clothing rangeClothing prices criticizedSparks debate among fans
WHAT HAPPENED? The Welsh team posted photos of some of their players wearing new winter gear as part of their Macron Athleisure line. Some of the clothes cost up to £180 ($220), while others are around £80 ($98). Now, Rich Fay, senior football journalist at the Manchester Evening News and co-host of RobRyanRed’s Wrexham AFC podcast, considers this an “attempt to get money” and wonders if this could start a worrying trend of alienating fans because of prices. Some agree with his opinion, but others say this is creating division among fans who support club owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
