So to paraphrase your quote. We will use the regional population where it suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 The attendance is pretty good with the extortionate ticket prices and dreadful running of the club.

Class of 91 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 1 hour ago, torryowl said: Sheffield fans have every right to be proud of the support they give there clubs …an average of 53k watched 2 so so 2nd division sides last season which is more than the city of Newcastle that "hotbed of football" pulled in when they won it the previous season . Too right they do. Compare this to Leeds, similar sized city and a well supported club, however, they're a 1 team city. If there was only one team in this city, stats show that we'd need a 50-60k stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of the picture was rather poor . The ball flickered terribly on my screen . But overall it was watchable with decent commentary . As already mentioned by someone else there’s no replays . In that last minute when that goalmouth scramble took place I’d have like to have seen it replayed , I couldn’t make out what had happened and why Palmer was winded .
