Wednesday owner David Storch has penned a message to the fans ahead of Saturday’s home game against Stockport … including news of his own upcoming surgery.
Writing on X, he said on Thursday:
‘Wednesdayites … one more push at Hillsborough on Saturday before we head into the international break!
It’s been such a positive start to the season and I’m so proud of the work everyone across the club continues to put in. Lots accomplished in a very short period of time but we know there is a long way to go and so much more work ahead.
Saturday gives us an opportunity to finish this opening stretch on a high … another huge crowd, everyone together and giving the lads everything you have!
Unfortunately I won’t be able to join you this weekend and for the next couple of months. I’m heading in for some back surgery and will need a little time to recover before I can make the trip back to Sheffield.
I’ll be there in spirit, and @michaelestorch will be there on Saturday representing the Storch family. I know he can’t wait to get back to Hillsborough and spend time with our @swfc family.
Let’s get behind the team and finish this first part of the season the right way. Keep pushing … keep believing … and most importantly enjoy the journey!
God bless our beautiful @swfc family!’
David
And after supporters replied with ‘good wishes’ messages to the owner, he added:
‘Thanks for all the well wishes for recovery, @swfc fans are the greatest in football, maybe in all of sport. I love you guys.
Surgery next Thursday … will be in a race with @LouieBarry6 to see who gets back in action at Hillsborough sooner. Hope I get back fast… but pray he gets back faster!!
Up the Owls!’
