Well, they would be much more upset with you calling them Notts Forest.
It's only 40 miles from Sheffield to Nottingham. I would think fan support depends more on the strength of the fanbase than marginal closer proximity.
I watched the end of Boro (another northern Championship team) at Liverpool yesterday and the away support looked strong. It's a similar distance Middlesbrough to Liverpool as Sheffield to London and I am sure that roadways and trains are better for the latter. I have been to Teeside a few times for business and air transport is actually the best option.
