A team effort

Making sure everyone goes home safe is the most important result of any occasion.

Here at Sheffield Wednesday, we have been working closely with the police and the EFL to review security at Hillsborough and we are asking supporters for your contribution too.

Following the dreadful terrorist incidents of late, stadium managers from clubs have been briefed by counter terrorism police.

It is vital that everyone - players, staff and supporters - remain vigilant and report any concerns to stewards or police.

Attacks might be rare, and the chance of you being caught up in one highly unlikely, but the message is #ActionCountersTerrorism.

Here's a quick reminder of what you can do to help keep yourself and others safe:

• Arrive early, allowing more time for security checks
• Minimise what you carry, fewer bag searches will speed up entry to the ground
• Be vigilant at all times and if you see anything suspicious, tell a steward right away
• If you see anything that could pose an immediate threat to safety, call 999
• In an emergency, listen to the Public Address instructions and follow them
• If told to evacuate, do so immediately, do not wait around to film events on your mobile
• Move right away from the stadium as quickly as possible for your safety and to allow clear access for any emergency vehicles
• Once you are safe, follow the local police force on Twitter for updates
• And please be sensible – refrain from attempting to take flares or any pyrotechnic into the stadium

Thank you for your co-operation.
