Can't belive what I'm reading here with so many people saying Sheffield is a shit whole. Huddersfield is probably the worst place in Yorkshire. As to boycotting the game because tickets are 36 quid. Yes it's a rip off but tickets at your place were still 30 quid and have always been expensive. Not sure were this hatred for us has come from. I don't know any Wednesday fan who really dislikes you. I'm quite looking forward to the game and think it will be a close one. Hopefully home advantage will win it for us Hole

Fine old stadium it was - dilapidated shit pit it is now. Last saw a coat of paint pre the millennium! There is no hatred of you.....more a disdain at the arrogant entitlement many of your fans on here seem to have! Big clubs win trophies - you don't! Big fan base - yup....big potential - maybe.....bigger than us - definitely but no delusions here.

Hopefully home advantage will win it for us It is an admittedly small sample but the billy big bollocks Wednesdayites who come on here are total bell ends. Someone should start a thread with Forestieri and cheating in it and they'll be on it like flies round shit. No football supporter should defend some of the pricing for away fans that goes on - including charging you £30. Should be £20 max. (I've no problem with Sheffield at all, by the way, as a city it has, like Huddersfield, some very decent areas and some utter shit holes. Pretty much like every major town/city).

Big fan base - yup....big potential - maybe.....bigger than us - definitely but no delusions here. Don't think we are a big club just have a very good fan base for a team that's been shit for 20 years. As for our ground, it's only really the away end which is horrendous so can't say I'm too bothered about it. The rest of the ground is fine.

I am really looking forward to this game. Up from Hampshire Friday, staying in Sheffield. Some cracking pubs. So much so,that I will be staying Saturday night too. A nice change I reckon. There will be plenty of banter. Its all good stuff. It is a favorite trip of both me and my pal. TTID

In which case it explains why we think it's a shithole.....and kind of answers your question! Good fan base? As a big city you should have but doesn't really compare with Leeds, Sunderland, Newcastle etc all of whom have been pretty shite themselves for 20 yrs. that's not a dig but more an assessment that you are a top end medium sized club and we are a size further down.

Sunderland have been in the premiership for pretty much all that time as have Newcastle. Ridiculous comparison. We've spent 4 seasons in the league 1 and the majority of the rest of the time trying to stay up in the championship. Newcastle, Sunderland and Leeds are also 1 team cities so again a ridiculous comparison.

The way I see it you're not really classed as a rival and you're probably the Yorkshire team I'd most like to do well, after Town of course. You've been out of the Prem too long and hope you get back there soon as long as it's not at our expense. And if you think Huddersfield is the worst place in Yorkshire, you've either never been to Hudds or you've hardly been anywhere else!

Makes me laugh when people say Huddersfield is a shithole, not even close. Granted the town Centre isn't great but the greater area has some fantastic spots. There are literally hundreds of Towns/Cities in the UK that are far worse that Hudds.

Ex industrial Town. Not many jobs in any industry now in Huddersfield. Walk around The Town and its a run down horrible place. We currently have mobs of people running around screaming 'Justice' for drug dealing gunman. There are nice parts of Huddersfield but your getting to the edges of the district and close to the borders of Leeds, Rochdale, Halifax, Oldham and Sheffield to find them.

Even better during the food and drink festival.

I beg to differ, I grew up in the 50s and 60s when the views from the centre were pretty much the same ex industrial town or not. You don't have to travel far out of town to get to Shelley, Meltham, Marsden, Homfirth, Kirkheaton etc. As someone else said go into any Town / City and you will find the bad and the good, it has always been so.

Not ridiculous comparisons at all - you've won as much as all 3 in the last 40 yrs and they are all like you ......decent clubs not big clubs but all better supported than you.

As I previously mentioned they are all 1 city teams so should have bigger crowds than us. Leeds get very similar crowds to us and have done for probably the last 10 years. It's nice that you compare us to Newcastle and Sunderland though!

The massive thing was a joke made at sheff Uniteds expense and for some reason everyone takes it seriously. We have got a very good fan base though ad that can't be argued. I don't know many other clubs who could have 20 years outside the top flight and be as bad as we have and still get 20000 plus crowds.
