On the matchday - Owls v Carlisle

Posted on: Fri 10 Sep 2010

Carlisle visit Hillsborough tomorrow and there is a busy programme in place as Sheffield Wednesday aim to take three points from Greg Abbott's side - below is all the essential information on the S6 matchday.

Arrive early
The turnstiles will be open from 1.30pm for the Blues clash. Be sure to arrive in good time to avoid the queues.

Pre-match charity collection
Sheffield Wednesday is pleased to back a collection organised by Sheffield Sports Commentaries, which will take place in the run up to kick off.

Pizza Lounge
A new Pizza Lounge is open on the North Stand and will be selling slices and whole Chicago Town Pizzas for supporters.

Pre-order your drinks
Sheffield Wednesday is offering supporters the chance to pre-order drinks for half time at tomorrow's game. They can be ordered and paid for when the concourse is quieter and then collected from express collection points at half time.

Matchday events
Sheffield Wednesday is pleased to invite members of the 72 Engineer Regiment who will provide a guard of honour for the teams as they enter the pitch. They are currently taking part in a gruelling challenge that involves completing 23 marathons in just 23 days.

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

Penistone Road North
