On the basis that I know a few sheff utd fans who are all sound, and the Sheff Wed fan I was talking to in Manchester after the cricket last year who was claiming they are a bigger club than us...fuck them.

They think they are probably just shy of the big 6.
Occasionally they will pretend it’s all just banter but you have to spend time listening to them to really understand how bad they are.
Over summer, there were rumors that a takeover was going ahead with some billionaire or other. Within minutes Twitter (and some of the WhatsApp groups I am in) was awash with “”when this goes ahead we will be the most powerful club in the country, with our fanbase we are bigger than Villa”. No grasp that they are an oil tanker that needed turning round, straight to the top of the Premier league for them.
Maniacs.

Their gates have never been impressive have they

Even when they were in the Premier League they got mid 20s I think. That was giving away fans a big allocation.

Whats the makeup of the Sheffield football fanbase? Is the divide between the two clubs a geographic one or is it religious, political, cultural?

Re: Sheff Weds

Mainly geographical, but obviously that has changed in recent times, but broadly the south of the city is United and North Wednesday. No religious issues affect the fan base (I would say both sets of fans have an unhealthy liking for Rangers, but Wednesday fans really seem to be sucking up to them in recent years!). The poshest parts of the city are United territory really, but so are some of the poorest.
Historically they are better supported (not for the last 10 years though!). Shown by the fact they sell out Wembley allocations and we don’t, although our normal league attendances are around 28k and we muster 33k for Wembley, they average about 22 and get 40 for play offs. Of course many of us don’t bother as we know the outcome in advance.

The sheff utd lads I know say they are 'from the estates', whatever that means haha. I've always took that to mean utd are more the working class club ?

Re: Sheff Weds

So would you have family divides between both clubs like we do with us and the RS or do families largely tend to follow one club or the other?

Re: Sheff Weds

It tends to follow family lines, as is right and proper, but I have been married twice and in both cases, my father in law is a Blade, his daughter (my Missuses) also Blades, but their brothers are Wednesday fans.
I live in a largely Wednesday part of the city, and if I hadn’t got in there early my lad could’ve been swayed by his pals. Lucky that his season ticket life started with a trip to the FA cup semi final , then a league cup semi, then 4 seasons when we were great. He has also seen us relegated twice, lose another FA cup semi and a play off final so he has the full experience we have come to expect.

I wonder what our Sheff Utd correspondant thinks of this? It's all very sad like but if it was the RS, I'd be loving every second of it.

Re: Sheff Weds

See above. It’s incredibly difficult to sympathize with them as a fanbase. They mocked Derby for nearly going out of business, but think everyone should be weeping about their plight. They were bowing and scraping to Chansiri when he was flinging money about like confetti (“We’re Sheffield Wednesday, we sign who we want” they gleefully crowed), funny how they reap what they sow. They whored Rohl round Twitter as the best manager in the world to anyone who would listen then got upset when he started to believe it himself and went on strike to leave.

Of course, typically for us lot, despite the huge difference in current finances we find ourselves below them in the league for the first time since 2017, so can’t enjoy it properly.

One of the worst games I can ever remember at Goodison was against them, and there's a huge pool of games to choose from.
Hope they sort themselves out though.

The 1-3 game? That was bad.

My first game was against them. 0-1 in 1991.

What is a million in football these days? 2 weeks wages for (TC) Salah?.
Such a shame - have always thought of them as a proper club. One of the oldest clubs in the world as well.

Another win for the EFL fit and proper person test. Reading will be years trying to recover from their mess and who can forget Bury.

Is Rick Parry (parasite) still involved at the EFL? The scruffy cunt
