Sheffield Wednesday respectfully request that all supporters refrain from entering the playing surface following Saturday’s final home game of the Championship season against Cardiff.
Due to improvements to the club’s training ground facilities at Middlewood Road planned to be completed for the start of pre-season, the first team will be effectively based at Hillsborough for the remainder of the campaign and it is vital we maintain the best possible playing surface on which the squad can train.
Even the smallest level of pitch invasion on Saturday would have a detrimental effect on the pitch and potentially hamper the players’ ability to train at this important part of the season.
Supporters should also note that the players will conduct the traditional end of term lap of honour immediately after Saturday’s game.
