When Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United meet later this month, about 4,000 fans from Leeds United will be in attendance.The Wednesday team’s first Yorkshire derby will come after just three Championship games in 2024–2025. Leeds will travel to Hillsborough for a brief encounter on August 23 at 8 p.m. in S6.The hope from a Wednesday perspective is that there won’t be such a big gap this time around. The two teams were at opposite ends of the table last season, but remained in the division after Daniel Farke’s men were defeated in the play-off final and Danny Röhl’s team pulled off the great escape and stayed up on the final day.It is clear that a large number of fans, including 3,800 Leeds supporters whose allocation for the fixture was announced this week, will be travelling to the Owls’ home field for their first meeting of the season in a few weeks, even though it is a televised midweek night game.
