Sheffield Wednesday's Leppings Lane End was reduced from 4,700 to 3,700 after a review.
Sheffield Wednesday has appealed against a decision to lower capacity in Hillsborough stadium's away end.Capacity in the Leppings Lane End was reduced from 4,700 to 3,700, after a review by Sheffield City Council.
Following complaints from Newcastle fans, the council review found Wednesday had not breached its safety certificate. During the review the club voluntarily offered to reduce the capacity for last month's sold-out League One fixture against Plymouth and since there was no breach, is now challenging the council's decision to enact that until the end of the season.The review was prompted by a post on social media which included an image taken nine minutes before kick-off in the Newcastle game which purported to show "fans in distress and a lack of stewarding".
After the council contacted the Newcastle United Supporters' Trust, about 50 travelling supporters offered their accounts of what happened on the day.
