‘Pure cringe’ – Angry Wrexham fans hit out at ‘attempted forced rivalry’ after League One opponents take aim at Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s side

After beating Wrexham in a tightly-fought 1-0 home win, Stockport fans were overjoyed, and it appears that so was their admin on X (formerly Twitter).

Following the win, the admin for the club's main page on the platform aimed a sly blow at Wrexham, in a move that has opposing fans labelling the move as "pure cringe."

Wrexham headed into the game as favourites, and at kick-off, led Stockport in the table by four points and a game in hand. However, this gap seemed to fuel Stockport's desire to win, and the home side bagged the only goal of the game courtesy of a 24th minute Louie Barry strike.

Dominating the game throughout, Stockport never looked back, and at the full time whistle, they had reeled the Welsh side back to one point ahead in the League One table.

Following the game, Wrexham fans noticed a change to Stockport's bio, and posted a screenshot of the new development, which stated: "W against Wrexham", followed by a love-eyes emoji. Fans were quick to hit back.

Wrexham fan @beardywxm wrote on X: "They already won, this is pure cringe from an official club account.

Another supporter @natashaeveritt7 posted: "I know we did half and half scarves but come on now."

And podcast @fearlessidzine added: "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, have you reached a verdict? Yes, your honour. Do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty of attempted forced rivalry? Guilty."

With Wrexham and Stockport now separated by just a point in the table, albeit Phil Parkinson's side have a game in hand, the two are now both realistic contenders for an automatic promotion spot come the end of the season.

Wrexham host Exeter on Saturday in a bid to maintain their cushion to the teams behind them, while Stockport will be looking to close the gap by picking up a win away to Burton Albion on Saturday.
