🎟️ LIMITED TICKETS AVAILABLE - PLYMOUTH ARGYLE (H) As part of our ongoing community ticketing initiative, we have a small number of tickets available for Saturday’s game against Plymouth Argyle at Hillsborough. We’d love these tickets to go to Wednesdayites who might not ordinarily have the opportunity to attend. Do you know someone who’s had a tough time recently, a family who could do with a lift, or simply someone who wouldn’t otherwise be able to go? We’d love to hear from you. 📩 Please email [email protected] with your nomination. 🔵⚪ #SWFC

🎄 CHRISTMAS AT HIRSTY’S - THURSDAY 3 DECEMBER If you’ve not had the chance to visit the newly renovated Hirsty’s Social at Hillsborough yet, our Christmas party is a pretty good excuse to put that right. This is an opportunity to see the venue following its refurbishment, including the new entrance museum, and enjoy a proper evening in the company of fellow Wednesdayites. We’re looking forward to a relaxed, festive evening. Good food (included 2 course meal), a few drinks (free winter warmer cocktail), plenty of Wednesday conversation and the chance to spend some time together away from the usual matchday routine. We’ve also got some familiar Wednesday faces joining us, including Mel Sterland and Jon Newsome, with more guests to be announced shortly. Here’s what you can expect on the night: 🍽️ Festive food and dessert 🍹 A Winter Warmer cocktail included with your ticket 🎤 Special guests and plenty of Wednesday stories 🎟️ A raffle with some great prizes. 💙 A chance to enjoy Christmas at Hillsborough with fellow supporters The evening runs from 7pm until 11:30pm on Thursday 3 December, and tickets are £25 for Trust members or £35 for non-members. It’s also worth remembering that this isn’t a commercial event. We’re a not-for-profit supporters’ organisation, with member tickets priced at cost and proceeds from the evening helping us continue our community work in 2027. That means more opportunities to provide match tickets, mascot experiences and Wednesday shirts to children, families and supporters who might otherwise miss out. So as well as enjoying a good night, you’ll be helping us do a little bit of good along the way. Whether you’re coming with your mates, your partner, colleagues or on your own, everyone is welcome. It’s an evening for Wednesdayites to get together, enjoy themselves and kick off the festive season in style. We’d love to see Hirsty’s full of Wednesday fans for the night. 🎟️ Book your tickets here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/christmas… #SWFC

Finally got Oliver to the match today after missing the last few due to his health, and we come out to find someone has stolen his wheelchair accessible vehicle. I realise most people will have been in the ground between 1 & 4, but if anyone saw anything, please let me know #swfc

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY SUPPORTERS’ TRUST - MEMBERS’ BALLOT RESULT The Sheffield Wednesday Supporters’ Trust can confirm the outcome of its recent members’ consultation ballot regarding the invitation extended to James Silverwood to join the Sheffield Wednesday FC Board in an unpaid, non-executive capacity. Members were asked whether they supported James accepting the invitation to join the Club Board. A total of 1,300 valid votes were cast, with the result as follows: YES – 91.5% (1,189 votes) NO – 8.5% (111 votes) The ballot was conducted using OpaVote, an independent online voting platform, with the results independently verified. This provided a secure voting process, separate from the Trust’s own systems, with votes counted electronically. In the interests of openness and transparency, we have published the official OpaVote results directly to everyone who participated in the ballot, allowing members to view the results independently. The result represents an overwhelming endorsement from those members who voted and provides James with a clear indication of their views as he considers the invitation. We would like to thank every member who took the time to participate in this important consultation. The Trust remains committed to representing its members, maintaining its independence and working constructively to help build a better future for Sheffield Wednesday. #SWFC

The Sheffield Wednesday Supporters’ Trust would like to thank Henrik Pedersen for his efforts during his time at the club. Henrik is a genuinely good man who helped guide Wednesday through an incredibly difficult period last season, showing professionalism and commitment in circumstances few managers would envy. We support the club’s decision to make a change, whilst recognising Henrik’s contribution during a particularly difficult chapter in our history. We wish him all the very best for the future. #SWFC

Absolutely the right decision, deserved the chance to lead us after last season. However, IMO, despite being a good bloke and a great coach at the end of the day the team has lacked a proper identity and it was time - fair play to the owners for making a swift decision. #swfc
Sheffield Wednesday Football Club confirms that Henrik Pedersen has left the club with immediate effect. Henrik led the first team through an exceptional period in the club's history, providing stability and leadership during a time of significant uncertainty and change. The club would like to place on record its sincere thanks to Henrik for his contribution and wishes him every success in the future. Sporting Director Simon Wilson said: “First and foremost, I want to thank Henrik for his professionalism, commitment and contribution during an exceptionally challenging period for Sheffield Wednesday. “We knew the start of this season would be difficult due to the scale of change across the club, but our expectation was always that we would develop as the season progressed, establishing a recognisable style of play and greater consistency in our performances. “Although we have accumulated points, we haven’t seen enough progress in those areas. We believe making a change now gives us the best opportunity to establish those foundations and build towards the second half of the season and beyond. “We remain ambitious about what we can achieve this campaign, and our focus remains on building a Sheffield Wednesday team with a clear identity, capable of delivering sustained improvement and long-term success.” Matt Hamshaw will take interim charge of the first team while the club undertakes the process of appointing its next Head Coach. The club will provide further updates when appropriate.

🚨 WEDNESDAY FANS, WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🚨 Once again, we’re asking for your support as our charity partner @pactsheffield faces huge demand for toiletries to fill their overnight bags for families in need. Thanks to @swfc, we’ll be outside the Megastore before Tuesday night’s game against Cambridge collecting donations. If you’re heading to Hillsborough, please bring along whatever toiletries you can spare. A small donation can make a massive difference. 💙🦉 #SWFC #WAWAW

Why we chose not to run the story for two weeks, frustration, adrenaline and emotion, ripped-out seats and 9am car park coffees with @robstaton. Tomorrow marks a year since SWFC's Administration Day. How I remember the fortnight that was👇 thestar.co.uk/sport/football… #SWFC🦉
