The FA Cup third round draw took place at 4pm this afternoon,

We were number 34 in the draw and we have been drawn to play:

Macclesfield Town V The Owls

The Owls travel to Moss Rose to visit Conference side Macclesfield Town. This will be our first ever visit to Moss Rose

We have only played The Silkmen once before in November 1975 when we played them at Hillsborough is the 1st round of the FA cup and we emerged winners with a 3-1 victory. 

With Macclesfield being one of only three non-league sides still in the cup there is a very good chance this may be picked for live TV,  and with the current capacity of Moss Rose being only 6,335. Away fans are normally located in the open John Askey Terrace, where up to 1,500 fans can be accommodated. Additionally, 403 seats are usually made available in the Henshaw's Stand, which sits at one side of the pitch.

The full draw is shown below (Ties to be played on the weekend of 4 and 5 January 2014) 

The announcement of Nelson Mandela's death was made by President Jacob Zuma at 21:50 on Thursday 5th December 2013 live on television speaking to the world.

One of the brightest lights in our world has gone out tonight.

To those who observed him closely, Nelson Mandela always carried himself as one who was born to lead.

What are you doing on Bonfire Night this year? May we suggest getting down to Davy Sports Centre on Prince of Wales Road? Wednesdayite have teamed up with The Wednesday Cricket Club to put on our inaugural Bonfire Night Fireworks Spectacular - and all are welcome to come and share it with us!

Once again, it 's your chance to have your say about the catering facilities at Hillsborough on match days. We had a spirited and valuable response from fans when we produced our last survey in 2011, and the club and its catering partners promised to take those views into account to better serve you, their customers. So have things improved? Are you a loyal customer of the Hillsborough catering outlets, or do you avoid them at all costs? Let us know!

Wednesdayite are all about supporting Sheffield Wednesday and it's community for the good of everyone, as well as promoting inclusion and togetherness which would in turn befit the team and the wider fanbase. 

We believe Wednesdayite is an ideal conduit for fans to communicate with our football club. If you want your voice to be represented then joining us is a great way to make it happen.

We’ll represent the Owls fan in general, where possible, but our members in particular. The greater the membership the stronger we become and the more influence we have.

We’ve created a whole new, modern and exciting future for the organisation with a new package of member benefits, including discounts on member services like our own Lounge, our Away Coach travel, Car Park and exciting events. If you want to part of a fresh and dynamic organisation which looks after the people that really count, the fans, then join Wednesdayite today!

Wednesdayite embrace their role as a key part of how Owls fans follow their club. We continue to grow and expand our successful Away Coach, Car Park and Matchday Lounge services, surf our Big Flag at home and away matches, put on popular events and do everything we can to support both the SWFC Community Programme and the SWFC Academy.

With the disbursement of the Society's shareholding came the opportunity to carve a new path for Wednesdayite in a post-political era. Wednesdayite changed their mission statement and shifted the emphasis from seeking positive change within the SWFC boardroom to seeking closer ties with the club in order to deliver a better matchday experience for fans, to mutually benefit both supporters and the club, and to reach out to the wider community with the SWFC brand.

At the 2011 Society AGM, Wednesdayite Vice-Chair Eddie Hoyland presented a vision of a future for Wednesdayite as a supporter's club first and foremost, embracing community, matchday and commercial operations to bring benefit to all the main stakeholders in SWFC in the years to come.

In December, Milan Mandarić took over as chairman of Sheffield Wednesday with Wednesdayite gifting their 10.07% shareholding to the Mandarić family trust as part of the takeover. When Wednesdayite members were balloted on the issue of gifting the shares, 97.9% voted in favour.

Mr Mandarić attends a Wednesdayite members meeting where he is warmly welcomed to the club and pledges to continue to involve the fans in everything he does to help take the club forward.
