100%The lack of action from Sheffield Wednesday and the EFL is a total disgrace. For all we know, the guy arrested today could attend the game tomorrow night - SWFC have said nothing about any banning orders, or extra protocols. We got a cobbled together video saying “Racism is bad” and that’s it. As a club, Sheffield Wednesday have faced zero consequences; nothing but tumbleweeds from the EFL since the weekend.
If Palmer, or the entire team, refused to play tomorrow night they would have my full backing.

You don’t need to be proved guilty of a crime to be banned from a football stadium.Sheffield police have made an arrest, in this country you are innocent until provern guilty.
I don’t think Sheffield Wednesday can do anything while the police are dealing it.

Two different competitions/governing bodies.Completely agree.
With us playing them less than a week later the EFL should have put something in place…something like if it happens again then SWFC fore-fit the fixture and get knocked out.
If someone is arrested, police can apply bail conditions. I know this used to be standard practise for all football related arrests, as well as things like domestic violence.Would have thought that as standard if he was arrested he's instantly banned from football grounds? That should be the case. If by some miracle he's innocent (the footage is pretty conclusive) then it can be looked at then.
While there's suspicion, it's being investigated and then if found guilty he shouldn't be anywhere near a football ground.
I’m no lawyer so don’t know but I think a fan has to admit liability and normally get a caution and subsequently a banning order from police and/or club but if this fan is saying he is innocent not sure what swfc can do. We all want the guilty man dealt with but this chap has yet to be charged so might not be charged, if it was me I wouldn’t go but he might be saying I’m innocent so fuck it I’m going.You don’t need to be proved guilty of a crime to be banned from a football stadium.
Are you real?Sheffield police have made an arrest, in this country you are innocent until provern guilty.

Any decent defence lawyer would be yelling prejudice until he is charged.

You’re right no racism towards players but plenty towards stewards at away grounds.This is correct.
I genuinely thought Wednesday were a decent football club but they’ve badly let themselves down with the way they’ve handled this.
In under 12 months, there’s been the moron with the Bradley Lowery mocking, Darren Moore receiving racist abuse and now this with Kacey Palmer.
Some of their fans have blamed Palmer and some have blamed the anger towards the mismanagement of the club by Chansiri. This is an absolute piss take in my mind. With all of the protests we had against SISU, I don’t remember anyone ever using it as an excuse to racially abuse the opposition players.
Hope we do them 4-0 tomorrow.
I think you mean nonce sense
I agree once he is chargednonsense
Admittance to a football stadium is not a right. It's private property and the club will have r.o.a.r.

That is likely.He is on bail pending further inquiries, so may have a bail condition not to attend while investigation continues.
Before we get too self righteous. Let's not forget the banners over the M69 are in the same bucket. Both are the acts of morons spreading hate and inciting hate. Both should receive banning orders.
What does that have to do with what a private entity such as a football club can do?I agree once he is charged
I’m certain swfc will and if there are bail conditions might have done so, their problem is though if he doesn’t get charged it could leave them open to be be sued. As Mr. Bumble the Breadle said the law is an ass.What does that have to do with what a private entity such as a football club can do?
Nothing
Are they? Outside the ground for a start. What hate is incited by the banner? As poor taste as it might be.
There’s a reason protected characteristics are protected.
What do you think the appropriate reaction should be?God we've really taken the high horse on this haven't we?
