Manager Phil Parkinson has sympathy with Wrexham supporters over ticket prices for Sunday’s Championship game at Coventry City (12:00 BST).

Coventry, newly crowned Championship winners, face play-off chasing Wrexham in a game that has been designated a Category A+.

That means adult Wrexham fans have had to pay £45 for a ticket, with seniors and young adults paying £40 and children charged £35.

“I’m sure Coventry fans will sympathise with our supporters, with the ticket prices,” Parkinson stated.

“Because I think one thing which unifies supporters across the EFL [English Football League] is ticket pricing and I feel for our supporters a lot.

“They’ve come down to Oxford on Tuesday, and then £45 and £35 for concessions it’s a lot.

“I don’t think anybody can deny that and our supporters have been amazing for us, and our owners [Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac] have decided to put on the free coaches to help with that cost and that’s great from them.”

Coventry’s other Category A+ games this season have included matches against Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion and Leicester City.

In response, Wrexham’s owners – Hollywood stars Reynolds and Rob Mac – revealed that the club would be providing free travel for Sunday’s game.

The game at the CBS Arena will be Wrexham’s final away game of the regulation season, with Middlesbrough their opponents at home of the final day.

Parkinson’s side won 1-0 at Oxford United on Tuesday evening to see them move into the final play-off spot, above seventh-placed Hull City on goal difference.

Hull are away to Charlton Athletic on Saturday but Parkinson insists Wrexham cannot be distracted by other results.

“Obviously we’ll be watching the results come in – we’ll be travelling down at that time,” Parkinson added.

“But we’re not looking or expecting any favours elsewhere.

“We’re just concentrating. We know what we’ve got to do and we’re going all out to achieve it and we’ll see if that’s good enough.

“Two games left for us and good to be in the mix – it’s obviously what we wanted.”
