David Storch has dropped an exciting update on Sheffield Wednesday following a 2-1 away win against Leyton Orient in League One...

Following Sheffield Wednesday's 2-1 win away to Leyton Orient on opening day, Arise Capital's David Storch has dropped an exciting new update at Hillsborough.

David Storch's time as owner has gone well so far, having brought in almost a whole new team of 13 players in the summer transfer window. One of them got off the mark against Leyton Orient, with Callum Slattery scoring with his backside.

Jamal Lowe had an offside goal disallowed before bagging a penalty minutes later, which was enough for Sheffield Wednesday to claim all three points and just their third league win in 47 matches. An exciting season could be in store in League One for Storch, Henrik Pedersen, and Wednesday supporters.

Speaking via X (formerly Twitter), Storch revealed his thoughts on the current situation in an exciting update. He said: "Waking up this morn with a massive smile on my face so pleased for the @swfc lads working so hard coming away with a big road win to kick off the regular season on +3.

"Henrik continues to impress with his leadership and game management, boys responding beautifully… great group of kids. Simon [Wilson] busy at work rounding out the squad providing Henrik more depth and optionality. And the fans, what can I say… came out in full force in support giving the club a big boost carrying them on to victory.

"Big week ahead as the 100 or so crews continue to put the finishing touches on Hillsborough which while still a work in progress, the many improvements we have made should show well by kick off. Expect the atmosphere on Thursday night vs Bradford to be insane… massive crowds singing and cheering supporting the lads as they work hard to keep our undefeated record intact.

"Everyone at the club is busting it to provide our supporters with a wonderful experience, a fun time and once again a club to be proud of! Nothing is more important to us. As I’ve committed in the past, we are working tirelessly to make this the best club providing each and everyone of you the experience of a lifetime!

"After all…. We’re All Wednesday Aren’t We. #WAWAW God bless our beautiful @swfc family! Enjoy your Sunday!"

David Storch has given Sheffield Wednesday supporters their club back

Storch has arguably given Sheffield Wednesday fans their club back for 2026/27, restoring a sense of connection that had been missing for years.

The Arise Capital takeover in May ended the uncertainty around the club in good time to have a strong summer window, while the decision to start League One on zero points has given supporters a genuine chance to look forward rather than over their shoulders.

Off the pitch, investment in Hillsborough and the training ground has already transformed the environment, while more than 17,000 season tickets were sold early in the summer ahead of the League One season.

Add a heavily rebuilt squad and promotion ambitions, and Wednesday fans have every reason to be extremely positive. An away win to start the season is the perfect start, which now needs to be built on when they face Bradford City this week.

Many Sheffield Wednesday fans have taken to social media to respond to Storch, with one Sheffield Wednesday supporter replying: "Your first experience of a full house at Hillsborough under the lights is awaiting. You will go home with joy on a different level."

A further response from a Wednesdayite read: "I smell an Amazon documentary on the horizon. Ps thought you were quality on talk sport on Saturday morning. Can’t thank you and your team enough. WAWAW"

Another Wednesday added: "Thank you Mr Storch and everyone involved behind the scenes. Will take time to turn this massive ship around but what you have done in the short time is fantastic. Looking forward to hopefully 1 day shaking your hand and thank you in person. WAWAW"
