Wednesday have announced this evening that the North Stand will be open for Saturday’s opening home game against Stoke.
The club announced that Sheffield City Council has now lifted the Prohibition Order it had previously put in place.
The club added:
’This outcome follows constructive cooperation between the Club and the Council and receipt of the necessary professional safety assurances to allow for the reopening of the North Stand.
With the notice lifted, normal operations at Hillsborough will resume, allowing supporters to return to all stands.
Cllr Joe Otten, Chair of the Environmental Services and Regulation Policy Committee at Sheffield City Council said: “Safety remains the Council’s highest priority, and we will continue to work closely with Sheffield Wednesday Football Club to ensure that Hillsborough remains a safe and welcoming venue for all.”
With normal operations now confirmed as being in place, full details on Season Tickets and match tickets for Saturday’s Championship fixture with Stoke will be announced on Thursday.
In the meantime, we apologise sincerely to our supporters for the uncertainty regarding this situation, and thank you all for your patience and understanding.’
