Hang on soulsauce - you Wendy's were always quick to compare your gates to ours when you were in the Premiership.....does it not work both ways?
Ok, long as we know that you are dealing with the stats in a well reasoned manner how was the game against "The Mighty Hull"?
If we are talking HISTORY consider the following, just taking into account PURELY FOOTBALL RESULTS, not attendances, money wasted, managers with january sales fever, team with daftest haircuts etc etc.
The figures that matter are - Forty four - Thirty Seven - Thirty Seven.
The only answer to that is that you acknowledge that on the football pitch, Sheffield United ARE THE BETTER SIDE, HISTORICALLY as you want to use HISTORY to prove your point about attendances (how many points do the league award you for having a big crowd?)
