Jim Magilton's Queens Park Rangers come to S6 on Saturday and there will be plenty going on at Hillsborough on the matchday as Sheffield Wednesday look to build on last week's draw against Bristol City - below is all the essential information....

Early opening
Sheffield Wednesday is pleased to announce that Hillsborough's North and South Stands will now be open from 12.30pm onwards on all home Saturday matchdays.

The club has introduced early opening to enable supporters to enjoy the matchday experience for longer, with numerous activities planned pre-match with refreshment kiosks and bars on the concourse being open from the time turnstiles are opened.

Supporters should note that the Kop turnstiles will be open from 1.30pm as usual.

Beer available on the Kop
Don't forget there is now beer available on The Kop - and from this weekend against QPR, it will also be sold from kiosks two and four.

Retail units
As well as the Owls Megastore, we now have a unit selling merchandise behind the South Stand near the Penistone Road entrance.

Matchday events
Our events team will be providing a range of activities on the pitch, including a ball juggler who will be demonstrating his skills, the club's dance team, Lady Owls, will be on the pitch before the game and at half time.

To go along with this, a number of Wednesday players from bygone eras, including legendary goalkeeper Ron Springett, will be introduced at half time.

There will also be a matchday collection before the kick off for the Royal British Legion's Poppy appeal.

Food for away fans
The club will be offering supporters of Queens Park Rangers the opportunity to buy food to take away from the match on their journey home. R's supporters should check out the kiosks on their way out.

Concessionary ticket checks on turnstiles
In the mean time Sheffield Wednesday supporters should be aware that, following feedback from fans suggesting that a small number of adult supporters may have been attempting to enter the stadium on concessionary tickets, the club will be implementing turnstile checks for these ticket types.

As stated in the club's season ticket terms and conditions, SWFC reserves the right to check ticket holders' entitlement to a concessionary ticket. This is not an exercise that the club wanted to implement but we feel this has become a necessity to ensure that concessionary tickets are used appropriately.

To this end, supporters gaining access to the stadium with concessionary tickets should bring a form of ID from the following list:
Driving Licence
Passport
Birth Certificate
Medical Card
Bus Pass
NUS (student) Card
HM Forces Card

We apologise in advance to anyone inconvenienced by this practise and thank supporters for their patience and understanding.

Supporters with concessionary tickets who do not provide ID at the turnstile will be turned away and will not be allowed entry unless they return with proof of identity. Supporters are advised that the ticket office will not deal with enquiries associated with ID checking on matchdays and these will be dealt with at the turnstile only.
