Can't see much for Wednesday today, fully expect Leicester to win this, but hopefully SW will put on a show for their fans.

Sky have done well to hilight the Sheffield Wednesday fans protest. Hardly any of them have ventured into the away end.

Wednesday fans coming in after five minutes getting a brilliant ovation from the Leicester fans.

Brilliant to see the Leicester fans around the whole ground clapping the Sheff Wed fans as they enter.

Well covered by Sky.

Apparently the bulk of the Wednesday fans are coming in at five minutes into the game.

Edit...here they come.

I think what the Wednesday fans did were to ensure the disabled supporters were in and that the less able bodied were on the concourse with the rest staying outside due to the limitations on the concourse.

Leicester gave them full permission to display the banners, the fans and stewards worked together and it worked perfectly.

Commentator said: “A great club on its knees.”

It’s a disgrace how owners are allowing this to happen to clubs.

SOON as i read this i knew they would go 1 down
Cant predict anything at the start no matter the club

0-1 Wednesday

According to Sky they held 2000 outside the ground as they can only have 1000 on the concourse. Surely that can't be right. What happens at half time if they all want to go down?

I know they haven’t won the game but every pundit having Sheffield Wednesday to finish 24th just shows how clueless they all are

Sheff Wed looking good and well done to all fans in the stadium

I think it’s just assumed that everyone doesn’t go down at half time. When the weather is really bad at Burnley, and more people go down at half time, the concourse in the Longside upper is dangerous.

Most people use the concourse to get from turnstile to seat. To have 3,000 in there and not moving is far too many. The Sheff Wed fans worked with Leicester and the stewarding for this and it seemed sensible.

Come on Wednesday

Friend of a friend is genuinely a Bradford City season ticket holder AND a Sheff Weds ticket holder. As well as supporting a Spanish side. If one wins and the other loses he's only bothered about the team that wins. Crackers

wholesale boos
and rightly so - sheffield weds have been great

It's amazing what adversity can do. The entire team and support is together and the players are probably giving more because of it.

I wonder if anyone has done the double?

Leicester to win the Championship and Sheffield Wednesday to be relegated

The one problem they have is the bench. I don’t think most of them have ever played first team football.

Harry Winks on the bench. Wouldn't be surprised if we were in for him. Would fit the type of player we've been going for and would be am excellent alternative to Cullen.

Leicester have gone into this game as the overwhelming 1/12 favs with Wednesday priced up at 20/1.
A certain degree of complacency has probably crept into the Leicester players as well.

1-1

Off side. Var would have ruled that out.

Your right,
Don't think he touched it, but interfered with play big time.

Leicester’s fans “solidarity” being tested by Sheff Weds players actions.

All well and good playing well on first game of the season, we'll see how they cope in Novemer/December with injuries and suspensions hitting a squad of 15 players.

There was a period there with players down/ subs when I reckon there was no play for about 5 minutes. Should be reflected in the amount of added time.

doesnt love his club that much does he

Bannan off.
Poor, poor challenge.

Lucky really should have been a straight red that and not two yellows.

That should not be a yellow. Both players slid in, Bannan played the ball and there was nothing deliberate about the contact.
5 years they'll call it netball.

The antics of the Premier League has permeated into the Championship ,apart from watching the Clarets is anyone else completely dissolutioned with watching football?

Nailed it.

Ayew would be a good signing.

2-1 Leicester

Leicester look like they've won it.

Leicester’s singing is a carbon copy of Palaces ,hope we never start singing like a load of 10 vrs olds.

Only caught the last 15 minutes or so but Sheffield Wednesday's young keeper Charles looked decent.

One we could probably buy and loan back to them

Saw him a couple of times last season. He’s another one of many young keepers making wonderful reflex saves and then they make a howler. He also seems a bit short to ever go above Championship level.

The Gruffalo derby.
