10 facts you (probably) didn’t know about Sheffield Wednesday

Record attendance

Astonishingly, Sheffield Wednesday highest ever attendance was 72,841.

This however was over 80 years ago on February 17, 1934, against Manchester City in a FA Cup fifth round tie.

An attendance of that calibre is hard to imagine, even though back in the day, spectators did not rely on seating and standing up on the wayward terraces was their only option.

Hillsborough currently has an official capacity of 39,812.
