Both are on their 117th season in league football with both Sheffield clubs having a remarkably similar record
Sheff Wednesday (who were elected to be fast tracked starting in the expanded division 1)
Top flight 66 seasons (56%)
2nd tier 42 seasons (36%)
3rd tier 9 seasons (8%)

Sheff United (we were elected to start life in the newly formed 2nd tier)
Top flight 61 seasons (52%)
2nd tier 44 seasons (38%)
3rd tier 11 season (9%)
4tht tier 1 season (1%)

Thanks for this.

Pre-Match View From Watford — The View From

“Sheffield used to have quite a good footballing pedigree, Sheffield Wednesday were once considered a massive club and battled in the top flight of English football for much of their history, best known now as a sanctuary for ex-Watford players who can no longer perform effectively. This week we...

Nice stuff weird one.

Bit of Everything, but a disappointing no show from the Rusties.

How far have we come in 3 short years, from division 1 also rans to being the favourites away to a premiership team

You’re confusing their longer history to league history.

Both clubs have the same number of years spent in the league dating from when the league was started. Before the league started both clubs just played amateur games against other local clubs but Wednesday had been around longer.

They don’t have a longer league history.

Cheers FF

Probably the best view from comments from a nondescript Greater Londonish club we’ve ever had.

Weren't we holding their hand (and Palace) when we last fell through the trapdoor out of the Premier?

Watford and Charlton.

First comment looks like it is from a pig infiltrator, not sure what to make of the rest, kudos for the mention of "hard working".............. "limited team" .............. "they have better players" (must try harder it goes non of their players would get in our squad). Then we have the madness of they Paddy Kenny, Deane and Agana comments I suppose we should let them off with those. It can't be easy just now being a Watford fan I bet they struggle to put a name to their manager this week never mind this season, is it the bloke who is on his second stint in charge? Fuck me they change managers faster than you can say Leeds scum.

Let’s hope they have a Off day like all the other clubs we’ve played this season.

“If we win this we have a chance of staying up. If we lose we are as good as gone”
......... yes because if we beat you tomorrow there’s only another 90 points to play for ........
The ultimate in fickleness.

Cheers Roy!

I think what he means is that if they can’t beat little old us at home they can’t beat anyone.....

Usual "muck n nettles, northern grit, roll sleeves up, workman like" comments.

Usual "muck n nettles, northern grit, roll sleeves up, workman like" comments.

But those comments are all very true. But we then surprise them with our undoubted technical ability. There is a pattern developing here and non of the teams we’ve played will be surprised by us in the return fixtures.

 

[hidesbehindapseudonym]

Thanks. Hope they are right. 3 points for us is what is needed.

 

[Grappler]

Cheers Roy. The last 2 comments really made me laugh. UTB ⚔⚔⚔

[super_pig]

Given the fact they were formed a good few years before us I’d guess that we’re probably ahead percentage wise.

‘sheffield’ wednesday were formed ‘after’ us .. the wednesday were before us

And also Tony Agana...

We've had some good players from Watford for me as much as I loved Currie, Keith Eddy was a fantastic buy for us.
