There were memorable scenes at Ewood Park as Sheffield Wednesday’s supporters celebrated a monumental win against Blackburn Rovers. The Owls were backed by a stunning away following with over 7,300 supporters roaring on Danny Rohl’s men as they boosted their chances of extending their stay in the Championship beyond a solitary season. Goals from Josh Windass and Marvin Johnson coupled with a catastrophic own goal from hosts keeper Aynsley Pears helped Wednesday move out of the relegation zone...
The Owls face Blackburn this afternoon in a huge game in the Championship relegation scrap, and Wednesday have a chance to climb out of the bottom three with a win after both Huddersfield Town and Birmingham dropped points on Saturday afternoon. Huddersfield were heavily beaten by Swansea City in a 4-0 defeat, while Rotherham United held the Blues to a 0-0 draw that opened things up for Danny Röhl’s side when they visit Ewood Park. Bielik, who worked with Rovers manager, John Eustace, during...
The Owls picked up a huge win over Blackburn Rovers over the weekend, securing a 3-1 victory that saw them climb out of the Championship bottom three and finally take their fate into their own hands. Now, with games against West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland standing between themselves and another season in the second tier, the Wednesday skipper has explained that they’ve ticked one box off on their list of targets – they just need to do the same with a couple more. Bannan, who played his 400th...
The big screen is in place in the fanzone, The stage has appeared in the Winter Garden. Sheffield is getting ready for the World Championship snooker to start at The Crucible, and The Star has been out to find out how Sheffield is preparing for its spell in the sporting spotlight. As soon as I reached Tudor Square, it was clear that preparations for the tournament, which puts Sheffield at the centre of the sporting map for two weeks, were well underway. Already, the Winter Garden has been done...
Danny Röhl has been praised nationally for his impact on Wednesday, who have rallied back from their worst ever start to a league campaign to head into the final four matches of the league season level on points with Huddersfield Town in the first safety spot. A win over Stoke today would pull them level on points with the Potters in a tight-knit relegation scrap involving a number of sides. Speaking on his counterpart ahead of their trip to S6, Schumacher said: “I think Danny Röhl has done...
It’s a massive game for the Owls as they take on their fellow strugglers in an attempt to finally clamber out of the Championship’s bottom three, and with just three points separating the two sides there is lots on the line. Wednesday have had some key players out injured of late as they navigate the final run-in, and top scorer, Iké Ugbo, joined that list when he sat out the 2-2 draw with Norwich City – there may be some good news on him, Di’Shon Bernard, Marvin Johnson and possibly even Ian...
Sheffield Wednesday have given themselves a chance of survival as they head into their last two games. The Owls pulled off a huge away win over relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers to climb out of the bottom three, but they face a task to remain there, given the fixtures they have remaining. Still, Danny Rohl’s men have more than a fair chance of beating the drop, and few fans expected to be in this position based on the start to the season their side put together. Wednesday were once marooned at...
Sheffield Wednesday’s relegation battle could go to the very last day, with just one point separating them from safety with only three games remaining. Blackburn Rovers, West Brom and Sunderland stand between Danny Rohl’s men and safety, with four other teams realistically involved in the battle for safety. Just how many points Wednesday will need remains to be seen, but it’s likely four or more will be required to beat the drop, given the disadvantage they already have. In the meantime, we have...
Sheffield Wednesday’s battling 2-2 draw at home to high-flying Norwich City was a momentous occasion in the club’s proud history. It was the Owls’ 5,000th league match, with the vast majority of those games having been played at Hillsborough Stadium. It has been Sheffield Wednesday’s home since 1899, just seven years after they joined the Football League in 1892, and the ground has undergone some huge changes in that time. These photos take you back in time through the stadium’s history, from...
The student exchange program began in 2002 as part of the sister-city partnership formed by Reading and Reutlingen more than a quarter-century ago.
Rotherham United are dead and buried in the Championship survival fight and had their status as a League One side next season confirmed earlier this month. Despite that, it came as a surprise to many that head coach Leam Richardson had ‘parted ways’ with the club along with his assistant Rob Kelly when the news was confirmed on Wednesday morning. The Millers have won only one game this year and have failed to score in three consecutive league defeats. What will concern Wednesday fans in the...
Weaver has been a superb servant for the Owls over the years, spending time in the academy of his boyhood club before having two stints at Hillsborough during his professional career - once on loan from Manchester City, and then again on a permanent basis between 2010 and 2013. Now, after years working in the club’s goalkeeping department at both senior and youth level, the 45-year-old has decided to call it a day so that he can go and focus on more important things like spending time with his...
