  1. Sheffield Wednesday have remarkably CHALLENGED the capacity reduction order placed on them at Hillsborough's Leppings Lane end after safety review into Newcastle fans feeling crushed during overcrowding at FA Cup tie Council said the club had voluntarily reduced capacity while review undertaken It also revealed discussion of a 'formal' reduction until the end of the season Without Newcastle, it is believed the findings would not have been made public By CRAIG HOPE and IAN HERBERT FOR THE DAILY MAIL PUBLISHED: 22:30, 15 March 2023 | UPDATED: 22:33, 15 March 2023 Sheffield Wednesday have challenged the stadium capacity reduction imposed on them after a safety review heard of overcrowding. Remarkably, the club have indicated that the 1,000 reduction in fans allowed inside Hillsborough's Leppings Lane end — imposed after Newcastle fans had to carry children on their shoulders from a crowded concourse at an FA Cup tie on January 7 — was not something they were willing to introduce. Their declaration came after Sheffield City Council issued a statement saying the club had voluntarily reduced the Leppings Lane capacity while the review was undertaken. The council also revealed there had been discussion of a 'formal' reduction until the end of the season. The club and council chose not to disclose this until a request was made by Newcastle and the findings — with 15 recommendations to improve supporter safety — were returned by the council's Freedom of Information officer and published on Monday. Without Newcastle, it is believed the findings would not have been made public Prior to Newcastle revealing the findings, Sportsmail made requests for the details but were ignored. Without Newcastle, it is believed the findings would not have been made public. Sheffield City Council confirmed the Owls had challenged the ruling. The authority's Richard Eyre said: 'Although there was no immediate recommendation to do so, the club voluntarily offered to reduce capacity. 'The council agreed this was the right thing to do prior to a robust review and since then the request has become a formal requirement.'

    tremendous save from the free kick, mind. reall does have a solid hand. nee flappies. ball flew straight back out and cleared the box - to maxi on the wing.
  3. it is something "long" but not covid.
  4. from behind the goal it looked the defender hit it with his arm first, and it wasnt in a "natural position".
  5. was a great moment after our second when he went over to trippier and gave him a massive hug to gee him up. classy.
  6. fuckng chavvy kids again goading the wolves fans on barrack roud. getting ridiculous.
  7. nice to see Joelinton and Gordon involved.

    i met him in Gossy asda a couple of weeks ago. seemed to be in good spirits and said he was really looking forward to going down to wembley with the lads and that he hoped to be back playing in 2-3 months.

    Dwight has just given us the greatest ex-player celebration ever. just for that he will now be officially revealed as a club legend with a statue of him doing that celebration replacing the Angel of the North. what a sight to come home to.
  17. Ten Haag should done a Mourhino/Zlatan sub move on him.
  18. meh. never enjoy it when either of these win. like the battle of the ubercunts. always hated liverpool that bit more than manu though.
  19. Dick would kick fuck out of him if he left us.
  20. we made the better chances today. if howe continues with wilson against wolves, then the criticism will be justified.
  21. personally, the post-cup final depression is starting to lift. hopeful of scraping a scabby draw here. hope the players are similarly getting over last weekend and getting hyped for the rest of the season and an assualt on a european place.
