Sheffield Wednesday: Championship club issues urgent warning to fans ahead of Steel City clash against Sheffield United
Championship club Sheffield Wednesday has issued an urgent warning to fans ahead of the Steel City derby on Sunday.
The club has issued important turnstile information. It comes as there is a near sell-out attendance of 33,000 fans expected at Hillsborough on Sunday.
The club says: “We need your assistance to make entry smooth and safe for everyone. Arrive early: Turnstiles open 30 minutes earlier than usual at 10:00am.
“Please allow plenty of time for your journey to avoid expected queues. Have your ticket ready: Whether printed or on your phone. Avoid bringing bags: Bag checks slow things down. Bags larger than A4 size are not permitted inside the stadium.
“Extra turnstiles are open: All equipped with handheld scanners for barcodes and QR codes. Supporters with a mobile ticket simply need to press the information button for the pass to display your QR code. Tickets can be scanned at any turnstile for your stand: For example, Kop tickets will work at any Kop turnstile.”
It added: “Thank you for your support – let’s make this derby one to remember and please do arrive as early as possible!”. It will be the first Sheffield derby of the season.
The Owls are without a win at home all season, and have lost five of past seven overall. Wednesday are at the bottom of Championship after entering administration.
