Sheffield Wednesday: Matchday Supporter Information | OneFootball

Leeds United are back in Sky Bet Championship action on Sunday, as they face local rivals Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road, and ahead of the fixture we would like to give supporters all of the key information they may need to ensure everyone is fully prepared for the game.

Arrival at stadium:

We would urge as many fans as possible to arrive in plenty of time for the game. Turnstiles will open at 10.30am (kick-off is scheduled for 12pm).

The Home Fan Zone and Away Fan Zone areas will both be open from 10am, with a variety of food and drink offerings available, including on all concourses and outside the East Stand.

Download your ticket:

Please ensure you have your Season Ticket or Match Ticket downloaded for the fixture to your Apple or Google Wallet before arriving at Elland Road, and ensure your smartphone is fully charged.

A screenshot of your mobile ticket or the email confirming your mobile ticket WILL NOT permit you entry into the stadium on a matchday. You need to download your mobile ticket from the link in your booking confirmation email. If you have an android phone, please also ensure that your NFC is switched on in your settings.

Matchday activity:

Leeds United were devastated to learn of the passing of young supporter, Jayden Bamford, recently and the club are asking all supporters in attendance to help us pay tribute to the inspiring youngster in the 10th minute of the match against Sheffield Wednesday.

Wellbeing Team:

Our team of Wellbeing Officers will be working in each stand to support fans with various health and wellbeing matters on matchdays at Elland Road. You can identify them through the maroon bibs they wear, and if you need to get hold of a member of the Wellbeing Team for any help, please just ask your nearest steward and they will ensure one comes to meet you at an agreed area.

If any supporters would like to use the prayer room or sensory room, or if they need a quiet space during a matchday, please contact wellbeing@leedsunited.com so they can assist and book in a time slot for you where needed.

Matchday Incident Text Service:

The club has a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of discrimination, tragedy/discriminatory chanting or inappropriate language and gestures. The club condemns this behaviour, and you could be breaking the law. This includes any form of racism, homophobia, sexism or religious hate.

To report any incidents during visits to Elland Road, please text LEEDS along with any relevant information around the incident, your name and ticket details to 60006 as soon as you can. You will then receive an automated response which means that your report has been logged and will be looked into.

Travel to Elland Road:

We are asking all supporters to allow as much time as possible when travelling to the stadium, to try and help with traffic delays and congestion.

Please can all supporters also bear in mind when using bus services, cars or taxis to be careful when and where they are getting out of any vehicles. Those who disembark on the M621 and walk down the road are creating dangerous situations, and anyone who is blocking the roundabout, any junctions or pedestrian crossings are causing further problems with congestion.

Please always ensure your safety and the safety of others.

Post-match information:

We would just like to make all fans aware of details around various exit routes that may impact you, after the match has finished on Sunday.

The above measures are implemented for the safety and security of all supporters. In the event that any of the above measures need to change on the day, in light of public safety, then we politely request that you follow any instructions from club representatives.
