Alan Irvine felt for the fans after Wednesday’s week of weather woe.
Irvine saw his side slump to their first defeat in seven games at the hands of a tenacious Swindon side who rode their luck.
Players and supporters alike had to dig their way out the city to travel to the only game in League One. And the 1,300 visiting fans did their club proud by staying vocal throughout.
Former Hillsborough favourite Jon-Paul Mc Govern helped break the deadlock in the 24th minute by chipping over the Owls defense for Swindon hot shot Charlie Austin to volley home his 13th goal of the season.
It only took six minutes for the visitors to pull one back.
Just before the break midfielder Mark Beevers had a goal chalked off after teammate Clinton Morrison was ruled offside.
The Wednesday bench were fuming at the decision, and Morrsion said, "You see them time and time again in the Premier League and they're always given. There’s got to be some consistency because we don’t know whether we’re coming or going at the moment."
Wednesday also had a penalty appeal turned down before McGovern sealed the win for Swindon in the 70th minute.
A long throw from Michael Rose was flicked on by Sean Morrison to Mc Govern, who slotted home his third of the season.
Wednesday chief Irvine groaned, "We had quite a lot of chances. We hit the bar, had a penalty denied, a goal disallowed, a lot of things to be disappointed about."
"We deserved an equaliser, there were a number of things that happened that on another day could have gone for us."
"The fans are fantastic, there’s no question about that."
