Why Wednesday are the biggest team in Sheffield

[neepsendlane 11]

Who's the biggest club in Sheffield? Well here's a stat for you and it's not about the number of trophys won or the number of fans through the gate. It's about what makes any club - the players.

 

United have supplied a player to the England team on 98 occasions.

Wednesday have supplied a player to the England team on 256 occasions.

 

And that's a big difference.

And Hillsborough has been a World Cup ground.

Another one cherry picking stats.

How many Australian, Greek etc players have Wednesday had ?

Pointless post.

And do only English players play football?

Its history.

A more balanced post would have said how many current international players play for each side at the moment.

You said it. It's history.

 

It's a club's history that determines its standing in comparison to other clubs.

United have had there day my friend well that's my opinion anyway, you had loads of chances to stay in the Premiership when you got in there and failed big time.

 

 

Thats correct Corker.

How many chances does a club need to leave their neighbours behind ?

As for the original thread. There are lots of truths in there.

But i wouldnt be a Wednesdayite for anything. United are my club, always will be. End of.

For richer for poorer, in sickness and in health - and all that.

What tasteless comment would that be?

 

But it would take a tasteless person to post it though!

 

If you recall I have not mentioned size of crowds or the fact that s6 hosted world cup games.

If you are going to use facts to glorify your ground then you should also except a counter that highlights failings.

So current league position doesn't count for anything now like what some people are saying.

Which is it, you can't have it all ways.

And they are?

What a pointless reply.

 

30k for a 3rd tier play-off is more than acceptable, and if you dont think so, i question your knowledge of football and current affairs.

Maybe Wednesday would have took 60-70k eh ?
