Foxes v Owls

Post by ElectroClaret » Sun Aug 10, 2025 4:30 pm

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
