Wrexham and Sheffield Wednesday supporters will come together to rally against the unpopular Owls owner as Red Dragons fans decide a dress code for the Championship clash.
The Red Dragons will hope to turn around their difficult start to the 2025/26 Championship season as they host Sheffield Wednesday at the Racecourse Ground this weekend.
Wrexham will be expected to beat Sheffield Wednesday after the myriad of issues suffered by the Owls this summer, which has notably seen several players leave the club for free; for example, Josh Windass, who has joined Phil Parkinson’s side.
Parkinson’s main concern will be to notch Wrexham’s first league win of the season, but Sheffield Wednesday’s headspace is elsewhere. The issues that have plagued the club have made the on-pitch action secondary as they look to raise awareness of the damage done during Dejphon Chansiri’s reign as owner.
It is expected that Sheffield Wednesday fans will rally against Chansiri at the Racecourse Ground, and Wrexham supporters look set to join them in their quest.

This season has seen Sheffield Wednesday fans stage a number of colourful protests against Dejphon Chansiri, and whilst there is nothing major expected to take place at the Racecourse Ground, they will still voice their concerns to Dejphon Chansiri.
Alongside this, they will also wear ‘Black and gold until it’s sold’, and this is something that Wrexham supporters are keen to get involved in.
Wrexham fan account, Fearless in Devotion, posted on X that there is a ‘simple way to show solidarity’ with the troubled Sheffield Wednesday kits, and that is to don the Red Dragons gold kit from the 2024/25 season.
After the decision suggested that would bring more attention to the situation at Sheffield Wednesday, Owls fans showed their support to Wrexham, as one said: “Fair play this is class. Nice shirt too!”
Supporters continued, as one said: “I’m an Owl and I already had a soft spot for Wrexham but this is absolute class. Diolch!!”
Sheffield Wednesday fans continued to praise Wrexham, suggesting that this deed was a ‘touch of class’ and that ‘we should never forget stuff like this’.

Before the days of Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, Wrexham also fell on hard times, having been sat in the National League rotting.
The club was a matter of hours away from becoming extinct, as on August 11 they faced expulsion from the Conference League, but supporters rallied together to raise £100,000 in one day.
As Sheffield Wednesday face issues of their own, every Wrexham fan will hopefully show their support to the fellow Championship side. Such issues can affect any club, as it did Wrexham.
