Wednesday are relegated to the 2nd Division (Tier 2).

Going into the final match of the season Wednesday must win to overtake Crystal Palace on goal average and avoid relegation to the 2nd Division.  A crowd of over 45,000 roar the Owls on, however Manchester City substitute Ian Bowyer scores a winner in the 89th minute to break Wednesday fan's hearts.

In a hugely disappointing season Wednesday are dumped out of the FA Cup by 4th Division Scunthorpe United and out of the League Cup (EFL Cup) by 3rd Division Bournemouth.
