DeeJayOne Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Yes folks, it's that time again - the usual cup match warnings apply: It is expected to be busy on the turnstiles tomorrow so fans should try to arrive early where possible - be mindful that there WILL be queues, especially close to kick off! If thousands of people all try to gain access through the turnstiles within the same 20-minute window before kick-off time then it is inevitable that people WILL have to queue and some people may miss kick off - don't be one of those people. Turnstiles open at 1:30pm, so it is advised to get in early, find your seat, grab a relaxing drink and pie on the concourse and ensure you don't miss that kick off! The Sheridan Suite is open as a fans bar open to all from 12midday on a first-come-first-served basis, please feel free to use this bar. Other notes: New Food OfferingsWe will have a mobile food unit in place for this game situated on the ground floor in the corner of the Kop serving Westlers hotdogs and Big Al's Burgers. Pre-order your drinks Sheffield Wednesday is offering supporters the change 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. 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 practice 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 Parkside Road Penistone Road North Rawson Spring Road Rawson Spring Way Scraithwood Drive Wordsworth Avenue Edited January 28, 2011 by Deejayone SHEFFIELD SHOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeJayOne Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 could be a very interesting attendance how are the season tickets going by the way? Over 10,500+ home tickets sold, South Stand all but sold out, front of Kop now selling well, a couple of thousand Hereford fans expected.

DeeJayOne Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Busy, I thought only half the ground was open? It is, but everyone is condensed into the same areas and tend to all arrive together in the 15-20 minutes before kick off for a cup game, so there WILL be queues at these times. Hence the warning. Get in early! :wink: SHEFFIELD SHOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southportdc Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 spot of warning lmc- Ozzie apparently terrified me when I was a kid as he just looked like a massive bird of prey. On the other hand I was so shaken Chris Woods took me on the pitch to shoot at him so it's not all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other notes: I find it quite funny that the club specify that it is said to be busy regardless, so they decide to introduce Id checks on this occasion, making matters worse.
