Sheffield Wednesday Match Halted as Fans Stage 10th‑Minute Pitch Protest Against Owner

A planned 10th‑minute protest highlighted unpaid wages under EFL embargoes.

Overview

  • About 40–50 supporters entered the pitch around the 10th minute, stopping the game for roughly five minutes as stewards removed them.
  • The referee took both teams off the field and play resumed once the surface was cleared.
  • The action was organized by the OwlsOnThePitch group, and supporters in the stands chanted for Dejphon Chansiri to leave.
  • First‑team wages were reportedly unpaid in September—the fifth missed month in seven—as the club faces multiple EFL embargoes that block new registrations, including free agents.
  • Many fans are boycotting home fixtures, and the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust has urged Chansiri to step aside.
