Hillsborough
SUPPORTER CONDUCT
The club are extremely disappointed to report that objects were thrown towards the field of play during our last two home games against Fleetwood Town and Plymouth Argyle.
We would stress in the strictest tone that any individual proven to have perpetrated such an act will face the maximum possible sanctions in line with EFL Ground Regulations.
We remind supporters once again that this behaviour is completely unacceptable and with the aid of CCTV imagery, Sheffield Wednesday will not hesitate to exercise our zero tolerance policy.
While such incidents are isolated and very much in the minority, they are not and never will be tolerated at Hillsborough.
EFL Ground Regulations can be found HERE.
Under the banner of ‘Love Football. Protect The Game’ the FA, Premier League and EFL have together introduced new measures and stronger sanctions across the game to tackle the increased anti-social, discriminatory and criminal behaviours seen within football grounds.

THE MATCH
After back-to-back games with promotions rivals Plymouth and Ipswich, the Owls now face an S6 double-header.
Morecambe and MK Dons travel to Hillsborough this week, with the Shrimps up first on Tuesday night.
Derek Adams’ side have been strong at home while struggling on the road this season.
Our visitors head into the midweek clash in the relegation zone, a point behind MK Dons but with a game in hand.
In a tense basement battle over the weekend, Morecambe rescued a point in the final minute against relegation rivals Forest Green Rovers, with Cole Stockton on target at the last.
Wednesday kept our unbeaten league run alive by drawing 2-2 at Portman Road on Saturday.
Darren Moore has overseen his side go 17 games without defeat and a win could send the Owls back to the top of the table.
TEAM NEWS
Wednesday: There were no further injuries reported following our draw with Ipswich.
The gaffer is hopeful that Owls quartet Lee Gregory (illness), Jack Hunt (dead leg), Mallik Wilks (calf) and Reece James (ankle) can become options.
Moore said: “Hopefully on Tuesday we will have two or three back. To lose those four players on the eve of the Ipswich game was a blow as they were definitely going to be in the squad.”
Callum Paterson is set for a stint on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, though Moore issued positive news over the weekend that the Scot will not require surgery.
Morecambe: Jake Taylor and Max Melbourne have returned to training.
The Shrimps duo have not featured since December.
Ryan Cooney was substituted in the 1-1 draw with Forest Green due to injury and is a doubt for the trip to Hillsborough.
Striker Courtney Duffus is yet to feature this season with a knee ligament injury but has returned to full contact training. The former Everton man will not feature at Hillsborough and remains several weeks away.
