The Wrexham row continues! Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s club branded ‘stupid’ by Accrington Stanley chairman following ‘mistimed’ ticket prices statement

Adult prices for home and away supporters were set at £25 for Accrington's League Two clash with the Red Dragons on Saturday at Wham Stadium - a £5 increase on the normal matchday admission.

In response, the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned Welsh side took to social media on Saturday to pledge to reduce ticket prices by the same amount for the return fixture in May. As a result, Accrington chairman Andy Holt slammed Wrexham over this stance.

Saturday morning, he tweeted on X, formerly Twitter: “When costs are already high @Wrexham_AFC the last thing football needs is stupid mistimed statements. It’s surprising how stupid given a former CEO of @EFL (Shaun Harvey) is employed by you. Let’s have a great day for all fans safely, whatever the outcome on the pitch. Welcome to @ASFCofficial.”

Wrexham are seeking their second straight promotion after winning the National League last term. Under the Reynolds and McElhenney ownership, they have spent significantly and astutely, and use their Hollywood fame to secure lucrative sponsorships and propel the club into the limelight. This latest move is another sign of them winning the PR war as they seek to jump up to League One.

After the Accrington game, Wrexham host Morecambe in another League Two clash next Saturday.
