Yan Brookes-Wang, Kerry Miskelly and Carole Hicking had come to the protest together.

Ms Brookes-Wang said: “I feel angry and depressed about where our club is. I just want anyone, any organisation which can help us, to pressure Chansiri to get out of the club.”

Kerry Miskelly has been a fan since the 1980s. “My dad’s a Wednesday fan so it’s just been with me forever and to see the state of the club is heartbreaking.

“I feel like crying, I really do. It’s made me so depressed. It’s basically destroying our club. I don’t know where it’s going to get to and I’m scared.”

Carole Hicking added: “Any commercial business would not have one person in charge, it would have a board of directors that know how to run the business.

“I feel sad today because this is our first home game. We shouldn’t be doing this, we should be in there shouting and singing. We’ll stick together as Wednesday supporters because we love this club.”
