Sheffield Wednesday crisis deepens as safety concerns shut Hillsborough’s North Stand
Sheffield Wednesday, a crisis-hit club, has been prohibited from opening Hillsborough's North Stand to spectators due to safety concerns. The stand, built in 1960, has structural and electrical faults, according to a prohibition notice issued by the Sheffield city council, just 10 days before the start of the new Championship season. This latest development compounds the challenges facing the club, which is already under an EFL transfer embargo and has seen the departure of its manager, Danny Rohl, this week. The club's first home game of the season is scheduled for August 16th against Stoke, but the closure of the North Stand will further impact the club's preparations and operations.
