Sheffield Wednesday - the bigger club


Recommended Posts

Yeah yeah yeah, bigger fanbase blah blah blah.

 

What does that matter now? You've got huge debts, a naff team, a naff manager and you're in the old division 3. Your board also wants to see to it that you don't even own your training ground. How long will it be before Hillsborough goes up for sale?

 

It's swings and roundabouts in football my friends. Bigger fanbase doesn't mean a thing.

I suppose, ultimately, you are correct AG . There is no disguising Wednesday's dire predicament. I wonder how long their crowds will continue to eclipse United's if the Blades just manage to climb into the Premiership, and Wednesday languish in the Coca -Cola Thanks-For-Coming Division for a couple more seasons? It might just shut that wretched brass band of theirs up at least.

i just wanna bring up a few facts to this one people

 

this is taken from the 99-2000 seaon, 5 years ago

 

and i know a lot of you will say things have changed since then, ie weds being in div 2 etc

 

Attendances:

 

Sheffield Wednesday: 24855

Sheffield United: 13717

 

thats an 11,000 gap just over

 

now lets take the average from the games that are starting this year

 

Sheffield wednesday: 23185 (not a bad decline at all)

Sheffield United: 21542 (not bad to say we are still in the same league)

 

now if it goes the same over the next 5 years.......

 

Sheffield Wednesday: 21515

Sheffield United: 29367

 

Now Lets work it out in percentage of ground filled,

something that united are beating weds on currently

 

Currently Stands at

 

Sheffield Wednesday: 58.1%

Sheffield United: 69.6%

 

with the new attendances, it would stand at

 

Sheffield Wednesday: 53.97%

Sheffield United: 96.7%

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNITED

a few weeks back, it went :

SWFC Average Att 2005 - 23009

SUFC Highest attendance - 22850

 

Also, not our fault we have a huge ground. Our fans will fill it soon. We got 29860 against Donny, so if we go up, we should be hitting that mark much more often, I'll assure you of that.

Its Definately Sheffield Wednesday. I Live in London, And as far as I know, Sheffield United don't have a London based Supporters club.

 

We may not have an official Supporter's Club in London but try telling the London Blades they don't exist- I'm sure they won't be too pleased! We also seem to have gathered quite a following in Norway, who were treated to that win last night.

 

When will W*dn*sd*y realise that a bigger crowd isn't going to win you the league?

 

There's only one team in Yorkshire ;)

There is a simple answer to this -

 

At the moment sheffield united are the bigger club!!!

 

Easy peasy, they have better players, play in the better league, and have better finances- simple!!!!

 

Im not saying its going to stay like it- but at the moment every word of that statement is undenyably true.

 

 

End of story.
