Despite the litany of off-field issues, the Owls have put together a run of three games without defeat and only a last-minute equaliser from Birmingham City on Tuesday stopped them from climbing out of the relegation zone.
Protests against the owner are once again planned for Saturday’s home match against high-flying Coventry and there have been suggestions that some fans may look to enter the pitch in order to have the game held up or even called off.
City boss Frank Lampard told BBC CWR that although he had “a lot of sympathy with Sheffield Wednesday fans”, he wanted clarity about player security.
When asked about the possibility of a pitch invasion, Pedersen said: “We have not spoken about it but I have heard about it.
“Of course we all understand the frustration and that there is a protest but we also really hope that it can be without risk and with safety for the fans.”
In January 2024, Reading fans forced the abandonment of their League One game at home to Port Vale after coming on to the pitch to protest against Dai Yongge’s ownership.
The game, which had been stopped in the 16th minute, was then replayed in full the following month.
