Wednesday for me, I've seen us win at United, but each time I've seen us at Hillsborough we've been either unlucky, or had a turd ref, and lost or drawn.

Rather selfishly I would like united to get promoted through the play offs as it means there will be an additional 2 away games that would be very cheap and easy to get to for me :D

United, Wednesday still believe they are a big club for some reason

Well they are a big club.

There is no reason to argue that they aren't. Successful over the past 15 years, no. But that doesn't make size any smaller. Same with Sheffield United. They are a big club. The two Sheffield clubs, Leeds and West Ham and much bigger than any club outside the Premier League by some margin.

Crowd of 38,082 at Hillsborough on Saturday too. Attendances alone do not make a big club, but that's a hell of a crowd. Ignoring the maximum capacity at the Amex for a second, what would we get if we took League One promotion to the final day - or any other club in the league for that matter?

Think you're stretching it a bit to say that Sheffield United are in any way a bigger club than Forest or Derby.

Well as an indication, Brighton got 34,000 in the third division for Rochdale

Attendances alone as you point out is not the determination of size.

You have to look at history, success, turnover, fan-base, potential as a whole lot of other things.

I doubt many clubs outside the Premier League could rustle up 38,000 fans to pay full price for tickets.
