They're stuck in the Champ and will be for some time to come. Once they resorted to starting a pissing contest about attendances, they lost every shred of credibility; is there another significant football rivalry in the country so hopelessly uneven and one-sided that the inferior club has to bang on about how many fans they get through the gates for lack of anything else to be proud of?
You appear to be describing the average Blunt from the red part of Sheffield!!! They constantly go on about getting an average attendance of over 30k in one of their forays in the top flight, yet do so while playing their 5th consecutive season in the Pub League!!
I've long considered Wolves and Blades to be spiritual cousins (certainly since the Battle of Bramall Lane). Seriously, the first time I heard one of them say something like "Olbiyun only got 26k at home vs Everton. We'd have got AT LEAST 30k for that. Who's the bigger club, eh?" on the very day they'd played someone like Tranmere and got about 14k, I actually laughed out loud at the silliness of it. Then they started doing it en masse, and from that point on you could only feel sorry for them.
If the captain of the Titanic had been a doghead, he'd have spent his last few minutes alive ringing up the White Star Line, asking to speak to the captain of the Olympic, and then saying "ha ha, I bet you'll never get as many passengers as we had on here, you tosser."
