SHEFFIELD Wednesday defender Michael Ihiekwe reckons a raucous Hillsborough faithful can ensure there is “no ceiling” on the club’s aspirations back in the Championship.

HOME TIME CAN LET OWLS SOAR

The famous old ground was rocking last season as the Owls overturned a 4-0 first-leg League One play-off semi-final deficit at Peterborough to triumph 5-1 in front of their own fans and win a penalty shoot-out. They then went on to defeat Barnsley 1-0 at Wembley thanks to Josh Windass’ last-gasp extra-time winner.

Wednesday’s loud and loyal supporters were also credited with playing a major role as eventual Champions League qualifiers Newcastle were dumped out of the FA Cup in January.

In fact, since being relegated from the EFL’s top tier in 2021, the Owls have only lost three league games on their own soil and last term’s average attendance of 25,738 was higher than all but four Championship outfits.

Crazy 

The impact of such vociferous off-the-pitch backing is not lost on Ihiekwe, who arrived at S6 from neighbours Rotherham last summer.
