@owlstalk Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Sheffield Wednesday are pleased to report that Saturday’s attendance of 22,044 for the Owls’ npower Championship clash against Brighton at Hillsborough was the highest in the Football League. Wednesday continued their solid run of current form with a 3-1 win over the Seagulls in front of the biggest crowd not only in the second tier but across all three FL divisions. With big games around the grounds, including a Midlands derby with Birmingham v Nottingham Forest, league leaders Cardiff away at Leeds and a capital clash between Crystal Palace and Charlton – the figures last weekend underline the outstanding support the Owls continue to receive. As ever, Sheffield Wednesday would like to thank Wednesdayites for their fantastic backing! The Owls are back on home soil this weekend with Derby County in town and are, of course, aiming to continue their climb up the Championship table. We’ll see you there!

smhouston Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Birmingham v Forest = a derby? Give over! Still good to see though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrodie2002 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Are we the best fans in the land? Or just got the thickest skin and a great ability to tolerate sh*t (given the average of the past 12 years)... I like to think we're the best even if that is a blind delusion!

Guest BirdonaMaguire Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We are the most watched side outside the top flight this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Shame being top of the attendance table doesn't effect the league table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls36 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Should be top again this weekend as i think derby should bring a few and with how the results have been going for us might drag a few more back!uto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaping Lannys Perm Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 So, am I the only one that thinks that 22K is actually quite poor considering the form we are in and the fact that we proved we had at least 40,000 willing to pay just a few months back. Then again, we've beaten everyone else so maybe by expectations are too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I think we can do it again next week against Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Triplej2 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I was predicting 23,500 so I thought (for us) it was a bit low. People are skint though and I guess we were still near the bottom of the league. I predict 25,500 for derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Birmingham v Forest = a derby? Give over! Still good to see though That's how the two sets of fans see it. Roughly as close as Owls and weeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bedders Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Well done fellow Owls! Bigger crowds = money in the bank = ability to compete buying better players. Lets all support our way back to the big time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict 25,500 for derby Its still a good attendance, like you say a lot of people can't afford it. nobody can ever knock our attendance!!! UTO!!!!

Guest Ripley Owl Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Should be top attendance again this week hopefully Then against forest in a couple of weeks. Oh and wouldnt It be nice if we were to overtake Brighton on the last day of the season, against Boro. Thus making us a more saleable and viable proposition for potential backers.

EatMyGOAAAALLLLL Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We have some big games coming up. Derby, Forest & Palace all sound like decent games to me, Derby & Forest for the short distance/big clubs and Palace for the drama that happened last time. I'd hope for 25,000 for Forest/Derby & 23,000+ for Palace. We may get a 30,000 this season if the momentum keeps gathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Guns Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We was only top of the attendance cos Brighton played away.... Not to brag about tbh that attendance should be about 28k everyweek too many parttimers in our fan base... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bigals Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I expected about 25 000 I was surprised how easy it was to get out the carpark. I use the Woodyard on Herries Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to brag about tbh that attendance should be about 28k everyweek too many parttimers in our fan base... Moving to a new stadium,a successful team and backers with a few quid have all helped to get the attendance up at Brighton.Exactly the Same will happen here if Milan finds the right investors. If that happens I can see our average attendance shoot well over the 30,000 mark UP THE OWLS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ripley Owl Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We should finish with an average of between 24 and 26,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
