Where Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday sit in impressive Championship attendance table

Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday both occupy positions in the relegation zone of the Championship table, 15 games into the season, and it has not been an enjoyable time for fans of the red and blue sides of the city this year.

The Owls’ situation has been well documented, and their plight at the bottom of the table is not a surprise for anyone, especially due to their 12-point deduction after former owner Dejphon Chansiri entered the club into administration.

However, not many would have predicted the Blades to struggle as much as they have done so far this season. Sheffield United were not far off a return to Premier League football after making the play-off final in May, but have been disappointing this season, with former boss Chris Wilder reinstated after the appointment of Ruben Selles failed early in the season. However, there has not been much of a turnaround in form for the side, as they currently sit in 22nd position, and fans at Bramall Lane will soon begin to worry about a potential drop into League One.

Both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United will need to utilise their massive fanbases if they want to have the chance to stave off relegation this season, but are their fans still turning up for them while they are in this situation?

Have a look below at both sides’ average home attendance and how it compares to their Championship rivals.
