58000

[cuttsie 1,094]

In two days the two clubs have attracted 58000 spectators . What a shame we are not a one club City . We would make some of those big time Charley's look like non starters . This figure was reached even though one is in the Second division and the other shipping a premier record for goals against .   Let's go back to 1867 and start again then we will be on a winner.

Liverpool , Birmingham, London, with one team would still make Sheffield look small.

Birmingham and Aston Villa have only managed 5,000 more than the two Sheffield clubs despite having double the population of Sheffield. It depends how you measure it all though I suppose.

Well the Owls are way out of town up in the sticks , while United are in the middle of thousands of new flats and housing estates being added to almost by the day so the Owls do well to attract the gates they get while United have a walk in catchment area full of students and City dwellers .

Build a new 60,000 capacity stadium and share it

 

Then eventually when you both are on the edge of bankruptcy you can merge to become 'Sheffield City FC'

And West Bromwich who are sandwell based but also technically Birmingham. Throw another 24k average in there.....

West Bromwich and Sandwell aren't part of Birmingham. If we're including them as part of Birmingham then we're including Rotherham and Chesterfield as part of Sheffield.

To attract any MAJOR investor with the cash to fund champions league level investment, you need a fanbase of at least 50K to guarentee income streams that will allow continued investment that stays inside the FFP rules.

The downside to this happening in sheffield would be any merger would mean the new club would have to begin life in the ninth tier of the football pyramid.

Toss a coin and shut one down😁

From that 58000 attendance, take away the away support 1

Then add on the 20,000 Wednesday fans that want a ticket for every big game 😁
