Attendances
In the tables below - Wednesday average is given first followed
by the division they were in, then it is United's average and the division they
were in.
The next column contains an X if Wednesday and United were in the same division.
The final two columns give a running tally of the times when each club had a
higher average attendance than the other while in the same division - so
Wednesday have had higher average attendances on 35 occasions when the two have
been in the same division - while United had only had a higher average
attendance 15 times.
Since the war, Wednesday and United have been in the same
division for 18 seasons.
