Edit Actually probably nearer 3 to 1. I grew up, spent half my life on Parson Cross and visit it every week... no way on earth is it only 3:1. Its more like 10:1 BUT the pigs that do live there tend to be very big proud Unitedites and stand out. Wadsley Bridge, lived there for 20 years and 9:1 Shirecliffe for 5 years and it was 50/50 which surprised me. Middlewood for last 8 years and unsurprisingly about 8:1, maybe 9:1 Used to go into a snooker club near Oakwell whenever we played them up until a couple of years ago. Bizarrely it would be 50/50 with all the Owls fans locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think its fairly split in Sheffield with pockets of majority towards one team or the other. Id say North and West are more Wednesday and South and far east like Woodhouse are pigs. I doubt any inner city areas has either these days and that includes around the sty.

That's not really Pitsmoor is it though. Real Pitsmoor from Andover St, Pye Bank, Pitsmoor Rd massively Wednesday growing up in 60s n 70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always had to go past Bramall Lane on Matchdays going to Hillsborough. Enjoyed the irony of it really. Plenty of other owls from South Sheffield. It's not so much about where you live but more about family tradition and possibly who was winning matches when you first took an interest in football. My first match was a County Cup game in about 1976, and Wednesday beat United 2-1. So I was Wednesday by Birth but that fixed it anyway. I'm S8 and just last night was talking about this with a blade and an owl, we were all in agreement that south side is probably 40-60 united, 45-55 in parts but north side is about 90-10 in wednesdays favour.

I've also lived for short periods on Winn Gardens, Upwell Street, Deerlands Ave Parson Cross, had a flat across from the Heliport on Shirecliffe Road, lived with future wife at Kirton Road (which was classed as Pitsmoor, but felt more Burngreave) bought our first house together at Standish Ave, Shirecliffe had 13 years there before moving to Wadsley Park Village where we've lived for the last 13 years, I still consider myself to be Pitsmoor born and bred though.

archieswfc Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 S63 has a lot of Wednesday fan. Has a mixture of a few teams to be honest due to it being 7 miles from the nearest town and being within 20 minutes of every town/city in South Yorkshire. Wednesday or Barnsley have the most though.
