Matchday tickets
If you haven't got a ticket for the Owls v Derby match yet then don't forget the cheapest option is to buy your ticket online and print at home - www.swfc.co.uk/tickets

Food for away fans
The club will be offering supporters of Derby County the opportunity to buy food to take away from the match on their journey home. Supporters should check out the kiosks on their way out.

Concessionary ticket checks on turnstiles
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.

Parking restrictions
The following roads will be coned and any cars parked on these roads after the cones are put out are likely to receive a parking fine by the council:

Catchbar Lane
Claywheels Lane
Donovan Road
Foxhill Road
Herries Road
Herries Road South
Niagara Road
Parkside Road
Penistone Road North
Rawson Spring Road
Rawson Spring Way
