FANS demanded Sheffield Wednesday “should be shut down” for their attempt at serving a £5 Philly cheesesteak.
And the experts in America could not believe what they had witnessed from Hillsborough.
Popular X account Footy Scran posted the shocking photo online on Wednesday night before the 2-2 draw with Bristol City.
The caption simply read: “Philly cheesesteak at Sheffield Wednesday (@swfc) – £5.”
But it was the accompanying picture that did the damage – and left users aghast.
The so-called Philly cheesesteak included two almost-grey dry slabs of questionable meat, some crusty unmelted cheese, a couple of stray peppers and an unappetising bread roll.
Footy Scran put out a poll asking if the food counted as “scran” or “no scran”.
Unsurprisingly from more than 23,000 votes, a whopping 88 per cent voted “no scran”.
And it led to a wave of hilarious responses – including some who did not even know what or who Sheffield Wednesday are.
One said: “Proof that whatever Sheffield Wednesday is, it should be shut down. Or at least get a visit from Gordon Ramsay!”

A fifth joked: “Looks like a lung transplant.”
A sixth replied: “I would not let my dog eat that.”
A seventh quipped: “Is that tree bark?”
An eighth commented: “Looks like it came out of a time capsule…”
And even MLS club Philadelphia Union got involved – clearly defensive about their local cuisine.
They simply asked: “What is this lol.”
Sheffield Wednesday are not the only English football team to come under fire for their far-from-Michelin-star stadium catering.
Alfreton Town’s chips, mushy peas and gravy left plenty to be desired.
And Northampton Town’s pathetic excuse of a hot dog left some fans suggesting the tin foil it came in looked more appealing.
Doncaster Rovers, however, got it spot on with their sumptuous Chippy Tea Butty complete with a fishcake, chips, mushy peas and tartar sauce.
