Rushup Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 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.

timo Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Loving Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norton Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Originally posted by Madref1 Its Definately Sheffield Wednesday.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottf Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
