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.
The FA have issued the following statement at 3:00pm today. -- Sheffield Wednesday have been charged with misconduct in relation to crowd control following their EFL Championship game against Coventry City on Saturday 20 January.
See SW have just been fined £12500 for the abuse that JP got. Like that will hurt! Mind you it’s hard to hold a club 100% responsible for the actions of the public, as long as they can so due diligence I suppose.

I agree. They get minimum wage, pay 20% tax and are expected to stop trouble! I used to do it years ago at HR for a while, after a few months I decided to go in the away fans, far more fun and secure as there was usually police nearby so if anyone got arsey they were jumped on by the police.
