WOLVESFC.CO.UK has been offered the chance to buy several of the new Wolves 2006/07 home shirt on the black market weeks before it is launched by club officials.

Earlier this month Wolves were forced to release a statement regarding a shirt which was put up for sale on the famous auction website Ebay.

The advert for the item claimed the shirt was the 2006/7 new home shirt and offered a 100% money back guarantee should Wolverhampton Wanderers prove the shirt was a fake.

However earlier this week we were offered the chance to buy several of the shirts for $50USD each and our latest picture of the shirt also includes the Le Coq Sportif "hologram of proof"

The sellers identity will only be revealed to the relevant authorities should it be asked for but we can confirm that the person offering us these shirts is NOT the same person who put the original shirt up for auction.

We were offered several shirts in the 42/44 Large size but were told that other sized shirts would also be available upon request.

The mystery seller claims the shirts are from a Le Coq Sportif and Hummel manufacturer based in Indonesia and we were also told that the new Coventry City, Aston Villa, Sheffield United and Hibernian shirts were also available.

Earlier this month a message on the clubs official website read "Anybody buying a potential fake runs the risk of receiving a shirt which is poor quality, doesn't fit as it should and features the wrong design. Worst of all, there is usually no way they can get their money back."
