Pendlebury will make history when he plays his record-breaking 433rd match against the West Coast Eagles at the MCG next week.<\/p>\n
A special guernsey has been released ahead of the game with each Collingwood player set to year the \u2018433\u2019 number on their chests.<\/p>\n
Pendlebury could even wear up to 12 jumpers and each will have a gold number 10 on the back – and fans are now able to buy the commemorative jumper.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s not all, with Tom Morris reporting special edition Pendlebury boots, wine, and watches will be available.<\/p>\n
He claims Pendlebury is set to rake in more than six figures.<\/p>\n
Fans are shocked by the move with many believing Collingwood and Pendlebury have taken the milestone occasion too far.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has got a real stench to it. Pathetic grandstanding,\u201d wrote one fan. \u201cBreak the record and enjoy the occasion, then move on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another added: \u201cThis is damaging his profile badly how embarrassing.\u201d<\/p>\n
A third wrote: \u201cThis is getting ridiculous. I\u2019ve never seen such a self centred focus on a milestone game.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a circus. I\u2019m already sick of the whole thing,\u201d commented another.<\/p>\n
Pendlebury had already drawn the ire of fans by opting not to play against the Sydney Swans on Friday, despite coach Craig McRae explaining it was to help preserve his fitness.<\/p>\n
The gold No10 also rankled fans, many of whom are fed up with the noise surrounding the situation.<\/p>\n
