Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP), DC Entertainment and Nick Grace of Water Lane Productions Ltd (WLP) announced today that BATMAN LIVE – a unique action-packed live show will tour arenas for the first time ever across the UK and Europe, beginning in summer 2011 and arriving in North America by summer 2012.

Opening in the UK in July 2011, BATMAN LIVE will be playing 8 shows in Sheffield from the 10th to the 14th August. BATMAN LIVE is a visually stunning production, complete with a brand new original storyline. The live show will feature Batman, his trusty counterpart Robin, tireless butler Alfred and a host of other favourite Batman characters, including Villains such as The Joker, The Riddler, Catwoman and The Penguin. The story will take place in several settings from the famed DC Comics stories, including Gotham City, Wayne Manor, the Batcave and Arkham Asylum.

Saturday night put me in a bit of a dilemma as I wanted to be in three places at once. Cassi Kennedy was appearing at Newbould, Robbie H was at Dronfield Contact Club and the wonderful Junkyard Dog appeared at the Yew Tree at Coal Aston. We opted for the last two due to their proximity to each other. It was great that Cassi came to have a drink with us after her gig. Robbie H was excellent on the night, showing his great vocal range with his interpretation of the Stylistic’s hit ‘You Make Me Feel Brand New’.

Mrs Russell Brand is certainly making a name for herself. Despite her singles, ‘California Girls’ and ‘Teenage Dream’ being released in June and August respectively, they still sit in the Top 10 of the UK Radio Airplay chart.

All three singles come from her new album ‘Teenage Dream’ which has now sold over 1.7 million globally. Whilst more than 10 million singles, tracks and videos have been sold worldwide. The album is the follow-up to Perry’s blockbuster debut ‘One of the Boys’, which has sold five million copies worldwide. Not bad eh! I must admit, there is something a tad People are either going to find Muchuu intriguing about Katy Perry.

George– who hilariously calls himself G-man – is 18 and supplies the beats and melodic synth lines using a keyboard he bought for £29 on which you can apparently only play three notes at a time.

Pretty cute, right? It gets cuter. “Muchuu” is Japanese for “to be in an ecstatic, delirious trance or dream”. Milky writes lyrics about “the little things that make you smile – like the birds singing in the morning and playing tap-on-it – and generally living in your own little world of niceness”. They put on Muchuu parties. At one, in a pub garden, there were candles everywhere and they served scones with cream and jam and Milky’s own homemade fairy cakes. They blog about cakes, too, and sweets and marshmallow chocolate bars, and they sing about being covered in glitter and showered with flowers. On their website you can play Pacman, Tetris and Asteroids and other classic arcade games.

artist: Pure Reason Revolution m: Fight Fire reviews by presley albuase date: 15th November rele It’s sometimes intriguing to find out artist: Katy Perry about a fairly new band, sometimes single: Firework not. Most music genres have been done release date: 15th Nov to death and it’s a real struggle to find

something new out there. So this new release made me sit up and take notice.

Their promotion blurge says that “Pure Reason Revolution are proof a band can be influenced by ELO, Smashing Pumpkins, Soulwax, Depeche Mode and The Beach Boys all at once, yet make sense of a vision that brings those disparate voices together into a sound that combines electronic dance rhythms, pop hooks and sublime vocal harmonies with huge rock riffs.” Alan McGee released their first single on Poptones, Sony BMG released a mini album and debut album. In March 2009 they released their second longplayer ‘Amor Vincit Omnia’ on Superball Music, a rockier and more electronic proposition than its predecessor; it was typical of their ability to fuse seemingly paradoxical ambitions and tastes. Then we come to this release…………….

The song starts with a disturbing urban electronic sound that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Cabaret Voltaire album, then the song kicks into life with a manic drum pattern that grabs your attention straight away, a slick but high pitched vocal then comes in and…………..now you’ve got me! It has a few elements of Kasabian, which is no bad thing, it’s a tad indie overall, but it’s also got some industrial in there. It’s a tense piece of music that really forces you to take notice. Its pretty relentless stuff. At last there is (hopefully) a band out there that can break some new ground, stretch the boundaries, be innovative and surprise and excite people. This is the most modern thing I’ve heard in ages.

This is one of the best singles for a new band I’ve heard all year. If the rest of this bands repertoire is as good as this then I see big things for them. Please go and check this out, you won’t be disappointed.

Probably every driver reading this has had the unpleasant experience of opening their curtains on a wet, wintry morning only to see the car leaning over to one side as a result of a very flat tyre! From sheer inconvenience, to the frustration of missing bits in the boot, to the outright danger of a high speed puncture on the motorway, the tyres on your car are a crucial matter for you and your family.

home of the country’s worst roads, and the recent cuts in public budgets do not bode well for any immediate improvements in the situation.

Fortunately, there is now a local company that can put you back in the driving seat!

Darren Mills runs Sheffield’s only Puncturesafe franchise – an internationally recognised product which has developed a unique preventative solution to protect your

children – the list is endless!

Developed and manufactured in the UK, Puncturesafe is a non-toxic, liquid polymer gel which is injected inside the tyre and helps to prevent flat tyres.

It can be installed within minutes through the valve without even having to remove the wheels.

And Puncturesafe is not just for cars – caravans, bicycles, mobility scooters – in fact any type of pneumatic tyre can be protected.

Prior to undertaking the work, Darren carries a demonstration kit which explains the process step by step.

Puncturesafe offer a mobile service, whether at your home or workplace, and it typically takes less than twenty minutes to treat a full vehicle.

There are innumerable circumstances in which Puncturesafe’s unique solution can be of benefit.

Darren stresses that the key is prevention – “The whole point is to stop the puncture from happening; we can’t do anything if it already has, but we can guarantee that it won’t happen again.”

“I have tried and tested it myself; I honestly believe in the product we supply.”

It is ideal for LPG drivers, who are unable to carry a spare tyre.

A single Puncturesafe treatment will last for the life of the tyre, and can also improve fuel economy and extend the life of the tyre.

It offers peace of mind – a son or daughter driving home from University, an elderly or disabled driver who faces the daily stress of potential problems, the worry of collecting small

Signs from Above Have you ever thought `What’s that doing there?’ You may have found a white/black feather or some coins. You may have seen a butterfly or Red Robin out of season.

This experience often involves numbers, names, colours and clouds and could possibly be a sign from above. For example, you may have been thinking of someone who has recently passed over and then you see a white feather or another odd object it is a sign that your loved one is saying `I am here and I am okay.`

Smells This is one of the most common signs from above. The popular ones are Lavender, Rose, Lily of the Valley and Old Spice. It is quite possible that if you are out shopping and you get a whiff of lavender you would conclude that there must be a fragrance counter near by and ignore it. I would ask you to reconsider. It may be a loved one who has passed over doing a bit of shopping with you.

Feathers Sometimes we see a white feather or a tawny gold and black I can remember in my mediumship development circle a spirit lady came through and brought the smell of California feather (black ones are very rare). You may find it in your home or even at the supermarket but when you do see it you poppies - which were very popular in the 40`s and 50`s. One will feel as though it doesn’t belong. You will question where of the group members had a mum who always wore this fragrance. Most of the group had never heard of it.

Mine are seven and eleven but there are periods of time when, for instance, the number eight constantly appears to me. A person phoning me might live at house number eight and they may want a psychic reading on the eighth. I might see a car with 888 as part of its registration.

An envelope stuffed full of Alun’s own hand-chiselled lovingly created jokes, versus a bag of ‘life’ (not insulin: anecdotes, observations). But which is funniest? Let’s decide together.

Alun Cochrane is a no-nonsense comedian who specialises in funny nonsense. Much of his comedy begins simply as something he’s seen, heard or felt in his own life, or in the street, or the kitchen, or anywhere and from that it blossoms into a highly amusing anecdote or a strange flight of fancy.

SUMMERLIN

The North’s largest entertainment weekly, telephone our sales team to get your advert on these pages 0114 276 3633 opt.1

Say hello to SUMMERLIN; a group that’s on a mission to put the party back into pop rock. The Leeds based 5 piece set out to carve their own niche with a unique blend of lighthearted power- pop. With their debut E.P, So Make Your Move out in June, the group aims to give the musical masses something to smile about.

The Leeds natives Drew Lawson (vocals), Ben Jackson (guitar, vocals), Jake Greenwood (bass), Lee Whitaker (guitar) and Liam Broad (drums) met while their current bands were falling apart and were immediately bonded by their shared love of pop music and party.

They began playing music together and in turn created Summerlin in Late 2008.

Drawing on a wide range of influences, the group crafted an upbeat pop- rock sound, “We wanted to write love songs you could party

too” With their fan base growing rapidly, attention on the band began to swirl after playing shows across the UK with the likes of The Atari’s Chris Roe, Quitedrive, Set Your Goals, Sherwood and Army of Freshman.

2010 seems to be the year for Summerlin building on their success in 2009. First they became one of the top

20 played unsigned acts on Myspace, followed by being asked to appear on BBC Radio One where they were interviewed, recorded a jingle and they were tipped as one of the bands to look out for by Edith Bowman.

GOOD NEWS AT LAST! We are delighted to feature exciting – and for once good – news in the local pub trade this week.

After almost six years of dereliction, the Blake Hotel has re-opened, and will be serving pints by the time you read this page.

Why is this news exciting?

It is because the Blake is no more than a small community pub, serving a host of local households without a “theme”, without an extensive cookchill ready meal menu, in fact without anything “trendy” apart from a few local brews, but importantly with the potential to once again become a hub for the community in the area as its predecessors have done for decades past – and unlike other recent refurbishments, this a genuine reopening of a pub long gone.

We don’t think anyone is daft

enough to predict the re-birth of the industry on the back of a single opening. However, revolutions have to start somewhere!

These are not in general happy times. Everyone across the spectrum of society is feeling the financial strain, and we still have the dreaded VAT rise to come in the New Year to compound the pain.

However we all still need to escape for a night out, and so value for money will become the watchword! We believe there is still no finer night out than a trip to the local club to watch a good show, at prices far below those demanded by the Arena or the City Hall – hence the number of quality shows we promote through the Mercury. Even at our recent Awards Night, the standard of entertainment on offer wasn’t far behind an episode of the X

Factor!

There is a place for your local pub in this – for less than 20 quid a couple there are great nights on offer, whether it be enjoying the company of friends, taking part in a quiz and competitions, or enjoying the unique experience of a live act. Does the thought of spending a night on the settee, drinking cans of lager from Asda really hold the same appeal?

We sincerely wish James all the best in his new venture – simply for what it may, just possibly, represent for the wider industry and the people who read this newspaper. Life may not get much easier for us all in the short term – BUT – if James and all his colleagues in pubs the length of South Yorkshire do the job right – we may find the odd night out a lot more pleasant!

This week we have tickets to give away to one of the most anticipated tours of the year.

Steve Hackett hits the road on 16 November for a run of dates on the ‘Around The World In 80 Trains’ Tour.

Hackett and his Electric Band will be treating his legions of fans to another aweinspiring display of virtuoso musicianship as Steve takes the audience on a musical journey. The new show will feature material not played on his last tour, as well as Sierra Quemada, Golden Age of Steam, Shadow of the Hierophant and Valley of the Kings. Fans will also be treated to a brand new, never heard before track.

Special guests Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree and John Wetton of Asia will join Steve

at his Shepherds Bush Empire show for a song or two.

Of the forthcoming UK shows, Steve says: “It’s been great to take the Train on the Road tour around the world, but as Dorothy says “There’s no place like home” and I’m really looking forward to touring the UK again - My electric band will be celebrating the special edition of my album “Out of the Tunnel’s Mouth”, along with some surprise numbers...

See you in November!”

Hackett’s superb new solo album, Out Of The Tunnel’s Mouth, was released in May to huge critical acclaim. The album stands up as one of the finest record’s in Hackett’s already glittering back catalogue.

We have pairs of tickets to give away to a gig on

the forthcoming tour, so if you want to see one of the country’s best live performers enter our competition.

Steve will be appearing at the Holmfirth Picturedrome on Friday 26th November www. picturedrome.net

Support band submissions open for Fake Festivals Tour 2011!

Forget the rain and look forwards to next year’s festival season with Fake Festivals!

The successful tribute band touring festival has opened it’s doors for 2011 and is welcoming submissions from original and covers bands across the UK. “We have had such a great 2010 with the festival dates and the weather,” says Jez Lee, owner of Fake Festivals. “We are wanting 2011 to be even better, so are asking bands and artists that are interested in performing at a festival next year, to apply.”

Aspiring artists can apply online at www.fakefestivals.co.uk, with some information about their act, an image and a sample track. The entries will then be judged by a festival panel, and the chosen acts notified in February.

“The 2011 tour will have a few new twists to it,” continues Jez. “This is one of the reasons why we have gone down the submission route for the support acts, as we will be encouraging professionals from the music industry and the entertainments industry to attend the festivals, so it’s a great opportunity for any support acts.

There is also a cash prize to be won!”

The deadline for submissions is on 30th January, so get your entries in now and be part of the 2011 Fake Festival Tour!

SHOP LOCAL

Business Posts hit the streets of Sheffield suburb Hillsborough today with the aim of asking local businesses to support a campaign encouraging consumers to spend money in smaller outlets rather than with chain stores and supermarkets that merely suck money out from our own neighbourhoods.

Surely no one wants more metal shutters barely concealing further failed businesses? Ok, this was just an initial exercise in getting posters displayed in retailers’ windows to say “shop here” (see illustration) to passing shoppers starting to consider what they need for the Christmas season. Developing discount deals and further campaigns might emerge through consultations after the new year, but today was about getting the ball rolling.

A 2007 study in San Francisco showed that if just 10 percent of consumer spending shifted away from national chains to locally owned businesses it would result in 1,300 more jobs and $200 million in incremental economic activity. That’s happening over in the US and so why not here too?

Benefits to local traders and their communities are obvious: More money will circulate nearer to home, with decent jobs being created, and enrich quality of life for everyone.

Consumers will also find that their experience of “putting their money where their house is” means less battling through overcrowded box stores and more contact instead with neighbours and friends in high streets where traders get to know real people’s names and maybe even ask after their wellbeing.

A recent post on NW Sheffield news blog highlighted eight good reasons for consumers to spend a larger

Well worth a visit! enough to wake up to presents on the big day. Buy something extra, portion of their money Protecting individuality: North West no matter how big or small, and Sheffield is made up of sprawling help put a smile on someone’s face city suburbs or villages strewn this festive season. up valleys and spattered across countryside. Encouraging local shops and businesses means it’s easier to avoid those faceless, uniform chains that perch in communities and siphon money out to bank vaults elsewhere in the UK (or even abroad).

Building strong neighbourhoods: Local businesses glue communities together. Neighbors end up talking to each other more and supporting local causes.

Local influence: Local demand is more likely to be met by local businesses. Everyone has more of a real say in making clear what is required or wanted in any given community – a wider range of goods and services built on the needs and expectations of local consumers.

Keeping cash circulating in the local economy: According to US research, money spent in locally owned businesses has three times more impact on a community than if spent at national chains.

Employment and income: Buying local means creating more jobs locally – often ones providing better wages than those offered by chains.

Social mobility: Local entrepreneurship provides opportunities for more families to move out of low-wage jobs or off state benefits.

Environment: Local stores keep neighbourhoods alive with less need for car use, unsuitable development of land, etc.

Competition: Supporting lots of small businesses stimulates commercial innovation and encourages lower prices.

The shop local campaign in Hillsborough is supported by the local community forum, Sheffield’s Mercury Newspaper and NW Sheffield news blog. Of the 150 or so retailers visited, several were

Only one proprietor refused outright.

She thought that “just sticking a poster in the window” would do nothing for trade. Business Posts certainly respected her point of view as being equally as valid as anyone else’s. However, when the shopkeeper then volunteered that “someone should do something about parking facilities instead”, a revealing dialogue then opened up: “That’s a good point – have you been lobbying for better parking here?”

“No” “Are you getting together with other businesses to voice any kind of opinion?”

“No” “So you would rather leave it to someone else to make things better for you?” *silence* Today’s tough economy is about to get more severe once public spending cuts bite. Nobody is going to pay attention those of us who can’t see the reason or find any energy to look after the interests of our businesses and those communities we aim to service.

Shop local, source locally and organise with other independent traders to survive and thrive!

WE LISTENED AND THEN LOOKED AT HOW WE COULD SORT OUT THE ISSUES! Emma Cawley, SCC Mobility Strategy

To support people to have real choices, we have written a Travel Guide for Disabled and Older People. Everything a disabled or older person needs to know about getting around Sheffield is in it!

We’ve written it so that lots of people can read it and understand it. The Travel Guide offers travel solutions that aren’t just about transport. It’s about getting out of your house, being OK on the streets, different ways of travel to suit you and how you can be supported to have real choices. It includes information about how to ask the council for improvements to paths. It includes information on all the different transport types, from adapted cars, to bus and tram, to mobility scooter, to door 2 door transport! It includes information on gadgets and technologies that tell you, or other people where you are, plus information about environmentally friendly initiatives, Car Share South Yorkshire, Pedal Ready and local health walks. Plus details of where all our adult changing places are in the city! It means people can use their Individual Budget to buy things that they have seen in the guide.

We encourage people to look at the most independent options first, as these will generally go to more places, allow more freedom and cost less!

We held a launch event with 30 travel planners. Local disabled volunteers and planners met together to pool their knowledge before the event.

We have got money for a Travel Solutions Team. This will be an Occupational Therapist and 2 Travel Trainers to support people with their travel choices. When people have an Individual Budget, they can ask the Travel Solutions Team to help with their travel solutions!

We are working in partnership with disabled people’s transport groups to improve public transport. We have developed partnerships which deal with the barriers that people raised, such as working with Transport and Highways to look at paths, and will be working with Safer Neighbourhood Teams to look at anti-social behaviour which puts people off going out.

This week I was invited by a former Radio Nightingale volunteer to give a talk to some of the media studies students at RCAT or Rotherham College of Arts & Technology to give it its full ‘Sunday’ name.

The curriculum leader of the course, Sara Hall, was a volunteer at Radio Nightingale some years ago and is keen for the students to learn about all different aspects of media and how each have its own key characteristics. So I gave short talk to two classes before taking questions. All of the students said they’d enjoyed hearing about the service we provide to the patients of the Rotherham General Hospital and many were so enthused they asked if they could get involved as a volunteer too.

If you run a group, students or just a social gathering, and would be interested in hearing about the history and work of Radio Nightingale please get in touch and we’d be delighted to share our stories.

Next week its back to the Rotherham Minster as it’s Remembrance Sunday. We’ll be broadcasting the Service of Remembrance from the Minster itself and then following the military parade as it moves to the cenotaph in Clifton Park. The whole event will be broadcast live for the patients to hear.

Radio Nightingale broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the patients and staff of the Rotherham General Hospital on 945 &1350mw and Hospedia. For more information about the station visit www.radionightingale.org.uk Current volunteer vacancies: • Website designer • Saturday sports show presenter • Football commentator • Request collector (Tuesday or Wednesday morning) • Fundraiser • Voice over artist / creator Contact us on 01709 304244 for more information on volunteering.

Uninvited wriggly ‘guests’ are being brought into our homes on a regular basis, yet many pet owners are totally unaware that these parasites are getting comfy inside their four-legged friends.

Worms are internal parasites that live within organs such as the gut, and signs of an infection aren’t always obvious. However, most can be easily prevented, and regular worming treatment is a vital part of responsible pet ownership.

Treating an animal for worms can seem confusing at first, so PDSA Senior Vet, Sean Wensley, has put together a simple guide to ensure pet owners are fully informed of the facts.

He explains: “A heavy worm infestation can result in severe illness, and in very young animals it can even be fatal. Some worms can also pose a health risk to humans. It’s essential to regularly treat your pets to prevent or get rid of unwanted parasites, before they cause major problems.”

Your vet will advise you on the best programme of worming treatment for your pet, but the following can be used as a general guide: · Cats and dogs are typically wormed four times a year, depending on the type of treatment used. · Fleas are a key component in the lifecycle of tapeworms, so you should also speak to your vet about treating your pet regularly for fleas. · Your vet is the best person to advise you on which treatments are safe and effective, so discuss this before buying treatments for your pet. Otherwise you may find that your pet gets parasites even though you had bought and administered a treatment. · Dispose carefully of your pet’s faeces immediately, and wash your hands afterwards. This is especially important where there are young children nearby. · Always call your vet if you suspect your pet may be suffering from worms. Severe worm infections can cause a number of very serious illnesses, including lung damage and blockage of the intestines.

Pet owners can download a free copy of PDSA’s Worms leaflet, which offers practical advice and tips on treating worms, together with details on signs to look for and preventive measures, at www.pdsa.org.uk/leaflets

Angler’s Corner

The North’s largest entertainment weekly, telephone our sales team to get your advert on these pages 0114 276 3633 opt.1

by Clint Walker

The big news this week sadly concerns major retailer and mail order outlet Bennett’s of Sheffield which has gone into administration.

If you are a local angler, then you will know of Bennett’s which dominated Stanley Street since the 1970’s and has been a regular feature on the back pages of many of the popular angling publications with their familiar yellow bordered advertisements.

The loss goes much further than the shop and online store closing, it will also affect marketing revenue for many publications which, at best, have a finite budget….lots to consider, none of it good.

I have had the pleasure of spending time in MD Harry Peck’s affable company, I’ve been lucky enough to go ‘behind the scenes’ at Bennett’s and find out what mail order retail is all about, and I’ve had the good fortune to meet the majority of the excellent team which made it tick; I can only hope there is some light at the end of the tunnel, and that Bennett’s may rise again. Good luck and best wishes to all those affected…

I’m always on the lookout for anything which makes my fishing more comfortable; I’ve found some news of an innovative new product which has already won a ‘Double Gold British Invention Award for Innovation’ for designer Darren Gudgin, a heating engineer from Bedfordshire. Darren’s ‘HOT ONE’ is a completely portable heating system for your winter fishing and will surely take the market by storm on release.

‘The Hot One is potentially a life saving piece of equipment for Emergency Services, Rescue Services and Military Uses. The Hot One consists of a portable boiler unit and stove connected to a padded blanket. The stove and

boiler unit heats an antifreeze solution (allowing subzero operating temperatures), which is then pumped around the blanket via tubing channelled throughout the blanket. This ensures maximum heat distribution to the user.

On a good set of batteries the pump will run for approximately 16 to 20 hours. Each Canister of fuel will last between 16 to 24 hours.’

Although it can have plenty of other potential applications, the ‘HOT ONE’ has been primarily designed for fishing to keep an angler snug and warm with the minimum effort. Darren has also announced that he has been invited to show the invention to the military in Moscow and is looking to work with the MOD to supply the blankets for troop use. Thanks to www.anglersnet.co.uk for the information.

I’m still looking for catch reports, photos and news from venues and retail outlets around this area, and if you feel you would like to feature in ‘Angler’s Corner’, then please get in touch. The junior angler competition in association with Nitrobaits is still open to anglers under the age of 16, so if want to win some fantastic free bait form the Parson Cross store, then send your pictures in! www.nitrobaits. co.uk for more information on their stunning range of baits that will put more fish in your net.

It was not a successful week last week. One or two ran well without winning and I thought that a couple were given pretty poor rides. Those that won did so at skinny prices so returns were poor.

The unlucky ones were The Betchworth Kid who was again given too much to do and Zenyatta who lost her unbeaten tag as she started slowly (as she often does) and then her jockey held her up off the pace. That she was only beaten a head says much for her ability. I can and do accept being beaten by better horses on the day and horses running below par but I do find it frustrating when what looks like pilot error costs you a race.

I also thought that Ultimate and Ellerslie George ran pretty good races at Wincanton. Meanus Dandy ran a fast time to win the Badger Ales Trophy and could be one to follow in his next few races.

Overall there were 14 selections that ran with only two winners (at 7/4 and 6/4) returning 5.25 stakes to record a level stakes loss of 8.75 points.

MILLERS IN THE HAT MATCH REPORT www.themillers.co.uk

Rotherham United will be in the hat for the second round draw but were forced to settle for a replay after a scrappy 0-0 draw with York City.

In a game bereft of clear chances the closest the Millers came to unlocking a sturdy York defence came midway through the second half but Ryan Taylor’s drive was deflected wide.

Ronnie Moore made one change to face York City in the FA Cup first round, with Marcus Marshall replacing Kevin Ellison.

The Millers tested Michael Ingham inside 15 seconds and Marshall was involved in the build-up.Tom Newey played a high ball to Ryan Taylor, whose knock down found Marshall.The winger laid the ball into the path of Adam Le Fondre, who curled a shot at goal from 20 yards which was comfortably smothered by the visitors’ stopper.

The visitors, however, looked unfazed and had a decent effort of their own in the seventh minute.Peter Till and Jonathan Smith linked up well down the right and worked a chance for Smith to shoot leftfooted from the edge of the area, which Andy Warrington saved to his left.

Rotherham tested Ingham again soon after, and the scrambling ‘keeper had to be on his toes to keep out Le

Match Reports, News & Reactions - All Articles copyright of www.themillers.co.uk

Fondre’s attempted lob.York again responded well, and Michael Rankine smashed an effort from 20 yards narrowly over Warrington’s crossbar.

There was little between the sides in the opening 15 minutes, but Le Fondre came close to breaking the deadlock after Ryan Taylor chested the ball into his path.Ingham was quickly off his line to smother and deny the Millers’ marksman.Once again, however, York went straight up the other end and carved out a chance of their own, with the Millers having Ryan Cresswell’s inch perfect tackle to thank for denying James Meredith.

The visitors persevered and missed a glorious chance to take the lead on 24 minutes.A defensive lapse allowed Rankine to break unchallenged down the left, and as he pulled the ball back for David McDermott eight yards out, his touch deserted him and allowed Cresswell to scramble behind for a corner.

Nicky Law was presented with another chance to give the Millers the lead after half an hour.Ingham made his first mistake of the game by dropping Johnny Mullins’ cross at the feet of Law, but his attempt to hook the ball into the net sailed narrowly over the bar.

In first half stoppage time York had another opportunity to head into the break with a lead.A high ball into the box fell kindly for Meredith, who got underneath his volley and fired over from eight yards.

City Law burst forward in the first minute of the second before

cutting inside from the left wing but his shot sailed wide of the far post.

There was very little in terms of chances but Marshall looked the most dangerous for the Millers showing great skill and turn of pace on the hour before crossing for Le Fondre who headed wide.

On 68 minutes Marshall was played in behind by Le Fondre whose centre almost found Ryan Taylor but for a great challenge by David McGurk.

Seconds later the ball was played into Ryan Taylor whose shot from 12 yards on the angle was blocked for a corner.

With the game seemingly heading for a replay a long ball forward caught out the Millers defence with Rankine benefiting from a favourable bounce, but his fierce drive was tipped around the post by Warrington.

BLADES FAIL YET AGAIN MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk

Stephen Quinn’s first goal of the season could not prevent United from slipping to a second consecutive home defeat.

All the goals in Saturday’s encounter came in the first half as Tamas Priskin and Gareth McAuley helped Ipswich to their first victory over the Blades in nine meetings.

Montgomery returned to the starting line-up, also taking the captain’s armband, and homegrown youngster Lowton started as boss Speed made two changes. Of course, Morgan is out for the season with a cruciate knee ligament injury, whilst Taylor was dropped to the bench, where he was joined by defender Parrino, included in the matchday squad for the first time. The 22-yearold Argentine is on loan from Estudiantes.

The personnel on show would have caused some confusion amongst fans looking to guess the make-up of the defence but it soon became clear that Nosworthy was at left-back, Ertl was partnering Bartley in the centre and Lowton took up the right-back role. United also started with a 4-4-2 formation with Cresswell and Ward in tandem in attack.

Kicking towards the Kop in the first half, an early run from Yeates offered encouragement, but he was ruled offside, whilst Ertl flicked on Nosworthy’s throw before the visitors cleared.

But Ipswich opened the scoring as a result of their first assault on United’s box. From a long Edwards throw, Montgomery missed his attempt to clear and after a deft nudge forward, PRISKIN found himself with enough space to shovel the ball past Simonsen from inside the six-yard area.

A second Edwards throw also caused problems soon after and Britton was forced to concede a corner.

On 14 minutes Ipswich went

SPEED DETERMINED TO FIGHT ON MANAGERS REACTION www.sufc.co.uk

Gary Speed reaffirmed his intention to fight his way through United’s poor spell of results following the 1-2 home defeat to Ipswich Town.

After watching his team concede early on, fight back to level terms but give away another gift to the visitors the United boss said: “They were two very sloppy goals, we shot ourselves in the foot again and made it very hard for ourselves.

“We work on defending setpieces a lot and knew they had

Match Reports, Reactions, News, Fans Column - All Articles copyright of www.sufc.co.uk

close to adding a second when Smith’s ball down the left channel cut Bartley out and Priskin powerfully held off Ertl before firing against the outside of Simonsen’s post.

United’s luck in front of goal was summed up on 23 minutes, following Quinn’s cross from the left. Cresswell’s back post header beat Fulop but was cleared off the line by Livermore, who quickly got to his feet to block another shot from Montgomery.

The ball remained loose in the penalty area until Yeates fired wide from an acute angle.

However, just before the half hour, United’s endeavour was finally rewarded. An attempted cross from Yeates was stabbed out by McAuley but straight into the path of QUINN, who took a steadying touch before firing into the near corner, beating Fulop’s left-hand.

Ipswich went close to restoring their lead on 33 minutes from an inswinging free-kick from Leadbitter but Priskin’s flicked header was just wide when leaving the ball for McAuley looked a better option. The visiting defender, though, would get his name on the scoresheet soon after.

From another Leadbitter delivery on 40 minutes, McAULEY looked to have taken a ride on the back of Bartley before heading into the air and then using the space afforded to him to fired past Simonsen from close range.

The remaining five minutes of the half - plus two more for additional stoppages - saw United mainly on the attack but lacking a cutting edge in the penalty area.

Speed made a change at the interval, throwing on Evans at the expense of Ward, but it was defender Bartley who went close to restoring parity.

He just failed to get on the end of a cross from Yeates early in the second period.

Then followed goal of the season contenders for both sides...had they have gone in!

Leadbitter chanced his arm by shooting from his own half and the effort was on target but Simonsen gathered

from under his own crossbar.

Then, on 54 minutes, Bartley advanced before hammering a shot from 35 yards which Fulop pushed onto the post and was glad to see the rebound fall into his arms.

Referee Salisbury was not interested in United’s penalty shout when Quinn’s header struck Eastman and then, at the other end, McAuley’s header from a Leadbitter cross was straight at Simonsen.

Shots from Leadbitter and Evans were both wide and a cross-shot from Yeates was headed clear. As the final ten minutes approached, Speed added Bogdanovic to the mix and changed the system, leaving just three at the back.

As the clock ticked down, United’s three-pronged attacked struggled to make inroads and it needed a lastditch tackle from Lowton to prevent Peters from adding a third for the visitors.

Just before the 90-minute mark, the Blades began to apply the pressure, starting when Delaney pulled down Cresswell on the edge of the box.

Delaney was the last man and would have been relieved to just be shown a yellow card, whilst to add insult, Bartley was also booked for offering his opinion. From the freekick, Quinn’s shot deflected off the wall for a corner, from which Bogdanovic headed onto the roof of the net.

Early in the five minutes of injury-time, Lowton’s delivery got the better of McAuley but Evans could not beat Fulop with his flicked effort.

United’s day was summed up

by Cresswell’s overhead kick, which was well wide, and booking for Montgomery.

a long throw so we worked on dealing with it on Friday.

“But for the first goal there were about five or six players who didn’t do their jobs in our own area - we are just not doing what we are supposed to do at the moment.

“In this division getting the first goal is very important and our record this season suggests that if we go behind we are unlikely to get anything from the game.

When we have managed to score first we haven’t lost, so we were really up against it when we conceded so early.

“We showed the effort and commitment we always do to equalise with a good goal but it was very disappointing to let in another sloppy one.

“In the second-half we had the better of it and created chances but as the season goes on we have to put them away - and

defend better at set-pieces.”

Despite the defeat only resulting in the Blades dropping one place in the table Speed acknowledged that his squad’s form was very worrying: “It is not just our home form, all of it is a concern at the moment and we are in a potential relegation scrap, not a play-off bid.

“I want to do well and be successful as I have been throughout my football career. Like the fans I am frustrated but I will roll my sleeves up and work hard, from tonight, to get the team ready for Leicester on Wednesday.

“It is only natural that confidence is low but there is no way back without fighting hard to arrest this run - I will and I’m sure the players will, too.”

Blades: Simonsen, Nosworthy, Montgomery, Ertl (Bogdanovic 79), Britton, Yeates, Cresswell, Ward (Evans 45), Bartley, Quinn, Lowton. Subs: Ipswich: Fulop, McAuley, Delaney, Leadbitter, Edwards, Scotland (Wickham 56), Livermore, Priskin (Peters 72), Smith, Eastman (Brown 85), Colback.

MONDAY, A CRISIS OF TUESDAY??? CONFIDENCE WWW.BLADES-MAD.CO.UK

by Paul Holland

Sheffield United face Leicester City tonight in a must win encounter at the Walkers Stadium; with all the other Championship sides having already played the Blades face the possibility of being in the bottom three before they even hit the road.

We look to our defeat to Ipswich Town last Saturday; whilst the performance can only be polity described as ‘poor ‘there must surely be some positives to take out of the game.

United have found scoring difficult and whilst it is unlikely to set the Lane alight Stephen Quinn added some hope with their tenth strike of the current season; a pitiful record to hold as one of the lowest scorers in the league with only Hull City matching that.

It’s quite clear that something needs to be done and starting the game in a 4-4-2 formation was a step forward; the defence does need patching up but due to injuries was a make shift back four; but priority must lay in midfield – no service = no goals.

Taunts from across the City were once again thrown at us Blades with the mere possibility of United being relegated; The Owls who themselves have been in a rut recently seem to have found high spirits after over throwing the mighty Southport in the FA Cup – but then again, they are MASSIVE after all!

FRUSTRATING, STATES QUINN MANAGERS REACTION www.sufc.co.uk

Stephen Quinn’s first goal of the season was scant consolation following the Blades home reversal against Ipswich Town on Saturday.

“It is another massive disappointment,” said Quinn. “We went behind to a sloppy goal but then after equalising we were on top for a good spell and I thought we could kick on and win the game.

“Unfortunately, though, we conceded another poor goal and we seem to be doing that a lot recently, but we have to keep fighting because we are in a little bit of trouble at the moment.”

Looking back at his goal in detail, the Dubliner was delighted to fire home in front of his onlooking family and insisted he thought he had rescued a point for the Blades late on: “I am always pleased to score and with the family here it was a bit more special because

FANS WEEKLY COLUMN

by Jon Warburton

It seems that Sheffield United are currently in the grips of an identity crisis.

In the past our successes have been based upon a very identifiable style of play that while sometimes slightly agricultural, invariably got results.

But as we labour through this much talked about transitional phase, we appear to be struggling to work out what sort of team we are.

The unfortunate thing is that our adversaries seem to have it nailed down.

Aidy Boothroyd’s comments over a week ago were telling, when he insisted that teams are no longer scared of coming to Bramall Lane and are more than confident of getting a result.

His Coventry side’s relatively comfortable 1-0 win added weight to his claims.

One thing that the Blades have always relied on however is teamwork.

And teamwork relies on trust.

It has struck me of late that our players don’t seem to trust each other, and with some justification too.

As a defender you always feel more confident if you think you have strikers in the team who can get you out of trouble.

Likewise as a striker, if you have confidence in your back line to keep a clean sheet you know that you only need to convert one chance and you’ve won the game.

At the minute there is too much pressure on all areas of the team.

The strikers are going out with the pressure of pretty much knowing they must score at least two to win, and the defenders know that if they don’t keep a clean sheet the strikers are unlikely to score more than one at the other end.

It’s an absolute crisis of confidence that needs urgent rectification.

All we can hope is that Speed is up to the task.

I was certainly due one. I have been threatening in recent weeks and my performances have been OK, but whilst it was grand to score it is really frustrating that we lost the game.

“I think the free-kick towards the end was going in too but their keeper had his wall protecting him and it came off the top of the defender’s head and went wide.”

FIVE STAR OWLS BREEZE INTO ROUND 2 MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

Sheffield Wednesday progressed into the second round of the FA Cup with a 5-2 win over Southport at Haig Avenue.

In what was a thoroughly entertaining cup clash, Gary Teale gave Wednesday a 1-0 lead going into the break at half time.

But the second half was full of incident and full of goals.

The Blue Square Premier side equalised shortly into the second period through Paul Barratt. Neil Mellor restored Wednesday’s advantage but Southport hit back again with a strike from substitute Matty McGinn.

But at 2-2; the Owls stunned a valiant Southport side with three quickfire goals with Clinton Morrison bagging a brace and Tommy Spurr wrapping up the cup victory from close range in front of nearly 1,300 travelling fans.

Owls boss Alan Irvine made six changes for the cup clash which saw Spurr and Jon Otsemobor line up in defence.

Tommy Miller was back for the Owls after missing Tuesday’s derby against Huddersfield Town, while Teale, James O’Connor and Morrison also started for Wednesday.

The game was off to a good pace in front of the live TV cameras and it was Wednesday who were first to threaten in front of goal when Neil Mellor hit first time over the bar from Morrison’s cushioned lay off.

The Owls were off the mark quickly though as Teale netted his first goal for Wednesday on 11 minutes.

Southport were temporarily down to ten with skipper Adam Flynn receiving treatment for

a head injury when Morrison latched onto a long throw in the box and hooked the ball across the face of goal for Teale to finish at the far post.

The home side weren’t deterred by that setback and looked for a quick response as Chris Simm found space in behind the Owls’ backline but Spurr came in with a good challenge to send behind for a corner.

Wednesday went looking for a second goal against the Conference club and were keeping good possession of the ball. But the hosts were dangerous on the counter and Southport midfielder Paul Barratt came close when his volley flashed wide of Nicky Weaver’s goal.

But moments later Southport had the woodwork to thank for keeping the score at 1-0.

A smart free kick from Teale found Giles Coke 20 yards from goal and the midfielder’s first time side-footer rattled the crossbar and flew over the top for a goal kick.

Morrison and Mellor were combining well up front and the duo almost linked up with success before half time but Mellor’s strike went inches over the bar.

As Southport were pressing for an equaliser before the break, Wednesday had a golden chance to go 2-0 up on the counter.

The home side were caught two-on-one at the back with Teale and Mellor racing forward but Mellor’s eventual effort was dragged wide of the upright.

But with less than seven minutes gone after the break, Southport were level through Barratt who had threatened the Wednesday goal in the first half.

The midfielder got on the end of a punt forward and showed good skill to loop the ball over Weaver and into the net to send the home fans into a frenzy.

But the home side were level for a matter of minutes as Mellor restored the Owls’ lead.

Morrison’s shot at goal from a long throw hit the post before Mellor slotted clamly into the

net.

Southport then responded with a substitution that immediately paid off for the hosts. McGinn was on the pitch for a matter of second before thumping past Weaver from distance into the bottom corner.

It was turning into an FA Cup clash to remember at Haig Avenue but it was 2-2 for less than three minutes with Morrison on hand to put the Owls 3-2 ahead.

Southport gave possession away cheaply and Teale played a through ball into the path of Morrison who stayed calm to round the keeper and blast into the net.

Morrison then scored his second in as many minutes.

Mellor raced down the right before squaring for O’Connor who deflected the ball in the direction of Morrison and the striker made no mistake with his connection and fired Wednesday into a 4-2 lead.

Spurr then made it 5-2 two minutes later as he blasted past Southport keeper Steve Dickinson from Teale’s corner - in what was a remarkable six minutes at Haig Avenue that spawned four goals.

It might have been 6-2 when Paul Heffernan’s header hit the underside of the crossbar and looked to have crossed the line but 5-2 was how the match finished with Wednesday in the hat for the second round.

Southport: Dickinson; Williams, Lever, Flynn, Davis; Barratt, Blakeman (T Gray 58), Lee (Powell 68), Moogan, Simm (McGinn 58); McNeil Subs: Morley, S Gray, Daly, Fitzpatrick Owls: Weaver, Otsemobor, Purse, Beevers, Spurr, Teale, O’Connor, Coke, Miller (Sedgwick 74) Morrison (Heffernan 77), Mellor (Tudgay 74) Subs: Jameson, Buxton, Jones, Potter

IRVINE PRAISES ATTITUDE GAFFERS REACTION www.swfc.co.uk

Owls boss Alan Irvine has praised the attitude of his players following Sunday’s comfortable FA Cup first round win over Conference club Southport.

Wednesday triumphed 5-2 at Haig Avenue on the back of an impressive performance that the visitors dominated from almost start to finish.

And Irvine said the professionalism shown by the Owls was a significant factor of the comprehensive victory.

He said: “We were thoroughly professional and went about our jobs very well. You have to have the edge in games like this because if you don’t, you have problems.

“We knew Southport would work hard and we had to match them every step of the way. We did that and in all honesty, we could have scored more goals than we did.

“Everyone who came to this game apart from Sheffield Wednesday supporters was looking for an upset. So it was important that we showed the right attitude and then the quality to win the game.”

The Owls host Northampton in round two and Irvine is well aware that the Cobblers caused a major upset earlier in the season, travelling to Premiership giants Liverpool and emerged triumphant on penalties.

Irvine added: “We will give Northampton the respect they deserve and do our work on them just as we would any other team.

“It would be nice to get to the third round because you never know what might happen but we will not be looking beyond the second round until that game is over.”

TRAINS, BUSES & AUTOMOBILES

FANS WEEKLY COLUMN

by Bunsen Bob The magic of the FA Cup seemed like a distant mirage at 7.30am on Sunday morning outside Sheffield train station.

Our train to Stockport to catch a connecting train on to Southport was cancelled and a replacement bus service was deployed. A short but disgruntled walk over to the bus station with the mandatory ‘bag o’ cans’ followed but more worryingly, around 50 other people were at or heading to the otherwise deserted bus station.

Predictably, only one replacement bus was sent to the rescue and the ratio of seats to train tickets sold was akin to the passenger/ lifeboat ratio on the HMS Titanic.

I must take this opportunity to credit the Wednesday contingent (Osama Bin Laden as seen on TV included) who duly stepped aside to let the people with suitcases who needed to catch a flight from Manchester onto the bus first. However, the problem still remained, we were the wrong side of the Pennines with the time ticking until our train to Southport departed Stockport.

Cue a rather hair raising taxi ride over Snake Pass, a screech into Stockport station, an extremely satisfying urinal stop and a comfy seat on the 9.36 to Southport. All was well until it dawned on one of my travelling companions that he had left his jacket in the taxi complete with 3 shiny FA Cup 1st round match tickets. Judging by the journey west, the taxi driver was probably back in the Steel City complaining about the one way system.

Quite shell shocked, we got off the train we had only just got on, made a few phone calls in vain and did what we thought was for the best and sent JC Snugsville looking for an off license. When a TV screen in Stockport looked like our final destination up popped Osama Bin Laden with a tin foil FA Cup and Tony The Tiger as his sidekick with 3, yes 3, spare match tickets. We were back on.

Arriving at the typically nonleague Haig Avenue a couple of minutes before kick-off (ironically, a lot earlier than most away games we go to) we took in the smell of the toilet cabin, and settled down for a good old proper cup tie which was thoroughly enjoyable. Fair play to Southport who were hard to put to bed, they made it tricky at times but we ran out deserved winners. Who says the magic of the Cup is dead?

Not 3 hapless Wednesdayites who miraculously made it to a football game, that’s for sure.

The Blake Hotel Special Feature Pullout - November 2010

Triumphant Return of The Blake is a Dream Come True

After closure almost six years ago, The Blake Hotel re-opens on Wednesday, November 10th smoker’s shelter installed.

Situated at the summit of Blake Street, Walkley, it has certainly been both an uphill task and a labour of love for James, who formerly lived on Blake Street.

The renovated and improved bar includes hand pumps for one of The Blake’s most important offerings – real ale - and a “Budvar” font for keg products.

He says, “The closure of The Blake robbed the community of their local and residents deserve this re-opening. All the other pubs in the area were subsequently closed after The Blake, so we are all pleased to have made this a reality - it’s a dream come true”.

REAL ALE The Blake will feature Sheffield’s own Farmer’s Blonde from Bradfield Brewery along with their stout, while no fewer than five guest beers will regularly feature.

Complementing the wide variety on offer is Bitburger pilsner, Flensburger and Leffe Blonde together with the exotically named Fruli Strawberry Wheat Beer.

siGn of The Times In 1393 King Richard II compelled landlords to erect signs outside their premises. The legislation stated “Whosoever shall brew ale in the town with intention of selling it must hang out a sign, otherwise he shall forfeit his ale.” This was in order to make alehouses easily visible to passing inspectors, borough ale tasters, who would decide the quality of the ale they provided. William Shakespeare’s father, John Shakespeare was one such inspector.

Another important factor was that during the Middle Ages a large proportion of the population would have been illiterate and so pictures on a sign were more useful than words as a means of identifying a public house. For this reason there was often no reason to write the establishment’s name on the sign and inns opened without a formal written name, the name being derived later from the illustration on the public house’s sign.

The earliest signs were often not painted but consisted, for example, of paraphernalia connected with the brewing process such as bunches of hops or brewing implements, which were suspended above the door of the public house. In some cases local nicknames, farming terms and puns were also used. Local events were also often commemorated in pub signs. Simple natural or religious symbols such as ‘The Sun’, ‘The Star’ and ‘The Cross’ were also incorporated into pub signs, sometimes being adapted to incorporate elements of the heraldry (e.g. the coat of arms) of the local lords who owned the lands upon which the public house stood. Some pubs also have Latin inscriptions.

Other subjects that lent themselves to visual depiction included the name of battles (e.g.

Trafalgar), explorers, local notables, discoveries, sporting heroes and members of the royal family.

Some pub signs are in the form of a pictorial pun or rebus. For example, a pub in Crowborough, East Sussex called The Crow and Gate has an image of a crow with gates as wings.

Most British pubs still have decorated signs hanging over their doors, and these retain their original function of enabling the identification of the public house. Today’s pub signs almost always bear the name of the pub, both in words and in pictorial representation. The more remote country pubs often have stand-alone signs directing potential customers to their door.

We have tried to discover who the gent depicted on The Drake’s sign is, but so far we have not found a difinitive answer.

Some believe it to be William Blake (28 November 1757–12 August 1827), the English poet, painter, and printmaker, some believe it to be a local landowner who lived on Blake Street.

Nobody who we have talked to knows for sure but if you can help please contact us here at The Mercury so we can finally put the matter to bed, (it’s been driving us nuts!).
