We had a very productive meeting with the club today regarding the Supporters Trust fundraiser.
We would like to place on record how accommodating, engaged and supportive the club have been throughout the process. From the moment this initiative was launched, there has been a genuine willingness to work with us to ensure every pound raised by supporters delivers the maximum possible benefit. Nothing has felt like an obstacle and every conversation has been approached with a shared desire to make this scheme as impactful as it can be.
The club have been incredibly flexible in helping us explore the best way to administer tickets and season tickets, allowing us to focus on getting the greatest possible value from the remarkable amount supporters have raised.
There is still plenty of work to do. We will now continue discussions with charities, schools and other organisations as we look at the most effective ways of delivering the scheme. We are also exploring opportunities to extend mascot experiences and provide Sheffield Wednesday shirts to worthy causes and individuals who may otherwise miss out.
These plans remain in development and there is a lot of work ahead, but today’s meeting left us even more encouraged about what can be achieved when supporters and club work together towards a common goal.
The response from supporters has been incredible. The response from the club has matched it every step of the way.
Further updates will follow as the project develops.

We know today is a day full of excitement, hope, and a new beginning. But some things are far bigger than football.
Mark Townsend suffered a cardiac arrest at our game against West Brom in 2024. He hasn’t been forgotten.
If you’re in the ground tomorrow, please join in a minute’s applause on the 57th minute to remember Mark and show support to his family.
Please share this to ensure it gets the required reach.

Calling on all Wednesday fans to give a tribute clap 2 minutes into this Saturday's game to 2 lifelong Owls supporters: Valda and Trevor Waterfield, both of whom died in St Luke’s Hospice recently.
2 minutes in, because this is about the two of them. With thanks.
Another amazing week in Sheffield with so many special moments. Every time I come here, I fall more in love with this city and its people, who have been so warm and welcoming.
Great interactive Q&A with the @swfc staff at Hillsborough; their loyalty is admirable. We will restore joy and pride to the offices as we create a culture of excellence.
I've been impressed with the strong civic leadership I've seen from Mayor @olivercoppard and @katejosephs. I have further enjoyed building a great relationship with Clive Betts. Also loved my time with Sheffield Wednesday Legend, @HirstyD9 who still has so much passion for the Owls.
My team and I are working on so many important initiatives so that we can hit the ground running once we take over this wonderful club. Most notably; improvements to Hillsborough and the design of our kit and crest (stay tuned!😉).
Had the opportunity to host a lunch at the outstanding new restaurant in the City Centre; Maria. You guys have to try it! We were joined by @LordBlunkett who enlightened us with his many stories spanning 75 years of genuine love for the club through the good times and not so.
I finished my visit, stopping in at the Broomhill Tavern, relaxing over a pint with some new friends watching our match against Stoke City.
I'd like to wish everybody a very Happy Easter weekend as we continue into next week heads down on this journey to rebuild this incredible football club.
See you soon,
David
PS. was also lucky enough to find 2 vintage shirts @RagParade ... Love it!
