Inquiry call over West Brom fan’s death at Sheffield Wednesday match

The English Football League has previously reassured fans that clubs have matchday medical plans in place.

A spokesperson said: “While sometimes the stoppage of play may sometimes seem like the appropriate action, it does raise further safety (and privacy) issues with regards to policing, crowd movement, media etc.

“Therefore, unless the welfare of the supporter in question is specifically affected by the continuation of the match, play should continue.”

Following the death, West Brom players wore black armbands for their match against Middlesbrough on Tuesday and held an applause in the 57th minute.

A fundraiser set up by a Sheffield Wednesday fan for Mr Townsend’s family has raised more than £2,300.

The Wednesday Week podcaster, Ash Rogers, said supporters of both teams had pulled together to donate.
