After a small group of home fans gathered on the pitch to protest club owner Dejphon Chansiri, Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry City’s championship game was briefly postponed.
The Thai businessman’s supporters chanted together in the tenth minute, days after his fifth consecutive paycheck was delayed.
Referee Adam Herczeg took both teams to the sideline after a few protesters gathered on the field of play.
Stewards removed the fans from the pitch and held the game up for about five minutes.
They are chanting for Chansiri to leave the club, according to BBC Radio Sheffield reporter Rob Staton. “There are a few boos from the supporters, but mostly cheers.”
The Coventry supporters were also expressing their support for the peaceful protest.
At half-time of the 12:30 BST kickoff, the Owls were 3-0 up after only winning once in the league this year.
