Sheffield Wednesday incredible attendance vs Southampton, Huddersfield and Championship rivals

Sheffield Wednesday fans haven’t had an easy time of it recently, but the Owls following remains one of the strongest in the league.

The many thousands of Sheffield Wednesday supporters who had been turning up for every painful Championship match this season were rewarded at the weekend as the team secured its first win of the campaign.

A Michael Smith brace meant a much-needed first victory on the board for the Owls, taking the club's points tally up to six this term with still much hard work to be done. There's still a long way to go this season and, even with ongoing off-the-pitch frustrations for Sheffield Wednesday fans, the side can count on Hillsborough boasting huge attendances for every home fixture.
