Sheffield Wednesday are committed to improving supporter safety before, during and after games at Hillsborough.
As part of this strategy and to expedite entry into the stadium, from 1 December we will begin to limit the size and types of bags that can be brought into Hillsborough.
The safety operation team at Sheffield Wednesday have recommended the implementation of this measure to enhance safety and simplify the process of fans gaining access to all parts of the stadium.
We strongly encourage supporters to refrain from bringing all types of bags to the game unless absolutely necessary.
Prohibited items include, but are not limited to, purses larger than a clutch bag, coolers, briefcases, backpacks and luggage of any kind.
Computer and camera bags are permitted only if a search is carried out prior to entry. There will be no change related to items such as smart phones and binoculars.
Supporters will continue to enjoy the matchday experience with these small changes, safe in the knowledge that entry into the stadium will be smoother and faster.
Every member of the public visiting Hillsborough should do so in a safe and secure environment and public safety remains our top priority at all times.
These revised measures will make the task of checking items upon entry more efficient and effective to all who visit as we look to maximise the experience of both home and away supporters.
Thank you for your co-operation.
