Substantial Sheffield Wednesday ticket allocation revealed for biggest away day so far
Sheffield Wednesday fans are set for their biggest away day of the season so far when they make the trip to Bristol City.
The Owls have got two games on the road on the bounce this month as they take on Blackpool in the Carabao Cup tomorrow night before visiting Luton Town at the weekend, after which they’re back on home soil to play host to West Bromwich Albion.
Most of Wednesday’s away matches in 2024/25 have seen them given over 2,000 tickets for fans to snap up, but it has now been confirmed that over 2,500 - 2,503 to be exact - have been allocated by City as they play host to Danny Röhl’s men on October 2nd. The Owls last won there in June 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Tickets for the tie went on sale at 9am this morning, and if previous sales are anything to go by then they will not be making general sale on Friday - Wednesdayites have sold out every away end they’ve visited so far this season, including the Blackpool (2,133) and Luton (1,344) encounters, and it’s expected to happen again.
Röhl’s outfit have had a mixed bag away from Hillsborough so far this season across all competitions, winning two and losing two of their four matches in the Championship and Carabao Cup. If the pattern were to continue then they’d beat the Tangerines and face defeat at the Hawthorns, but they’ll be desperate to buck the trend and secure victory in both.
Wednesday are expected to name a changed XI at Bloomfield Road tomorrow night as they seek a return to winning ways, and their manager will be hoping to see them build on what was a much-improved outing against Queens Park Rangers over the weekend.
