We’re just a few days away from Sheffield Wednesday’s return to Wembley after seven years away.
The landlords of the East Side of the group have hit the jackpot as the Owls were assigned to that side of the stadium, with pubs in the area set for a busy afternoon as half the city travels south for their shot at the Championship.
There’ll be no Green Man, no Box Park for Owls fans, with Barnsley taking those drinking holes. Indeed, Wednesday will be based on the opposite side to the stadium as they were in 2016.
It sparked questions as to where is best to take in a pre-match pint ahead of the big match.
We rounded-up a few images and scoured Google descriptions to come up with a whirlwind guide to the five boozers that will be decked out in blue and white.
