Week after week, fans turn out in their numbers to back the clubs they love. Some fanbases are rewarded with on-field success, while others are put through the wringer.
Wednesday fans are currently turning up to watch an already-relegated side, while Blades supporters have had to watch their team fall way below pre-season expectations. It has been considerably more pleasant for fans of Hull and Middlesbrough, who have been enjoying promotion tilts.
Last month, Owls manager Henrik Pedersen insisted the support of the Hillsborough faithful was evidence of a bright future ahead for the troubled club.
He said: “How they support the boys and how they create an environment for the boys in this insecure situation to still feel safe and feel motivated to do all that they can. I have never seen this before in my life, what they did for us today was amazing.
“Before we have a new owner, what we have right now is our fans and this is why our club is still a big club, otherwise we would be a small club. We don’t have much but with our fans we have everything and we have big potential.”
