Just 24 short of the season's best figure, against Chesterfield, the attendance, for the third home game within the space of eight days, reflects the recent improvements made under Chris Wilder.
And, although the 5,000+ crowd watched a goalless draw, there is no doubt that Town now have more of an attacking threat to take into games as they continue their fight against the drop.
"I think the players have given me, the staff, the club and most importantly the supporters everything in the last three games," said Wilder after Saturday's game with his side now having a week to prepare for a tough trip to face promotion chasing Scunthorpe United.
