Sheff Wed fans plan protest against owner during opening match at Leicester
Sheffield Wednesday fans to hold protest during opening Championship game
- Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust has announced plans to protest against club owner Dejphon Chansiri at next Sunday’s opening Sky Bet Championship fixture at Leicester.
- The protest stems from a spiralling financial crisis at the club, which has resulted in players and staff being unpaid on time for three consecutive months.
- Fans are encouraged to delay entry to the King Power Stadium until five minutes after kick-off, aiming for a visibly empty away end to highlight the club's serious plight.
- The club is under mounting pressure, facing multiple EFL sanctions and embargoes due to financial breaches, including a registration embargo preventing new player signings.
- Further details for 'stronger action' are expected soon regarding the Owls’ first home game of the season against Stoke City on 16 August.
