Copley’s Column

I continue to hear stories of empty pubs and clubs, and whilst I am mindful of the effect of the smoking ban, a major contributor to the ever increasing closure of licensed premises and the extortionate price of drinks, I am pleased to report that two public houses in my home town of Dronfield are making a great effort to ride the storm by introducing drinks offers together with top class entertainment. Andrew Jarvis of the Yew Tree now offers John Smith’s smooth at £2..50 a pint from Monday to Thursday, at the same time putting top bands on Saturday nights. Top local band Junkyard Dog appear there on Saturday and Riff Raff the following Saturday. I am grateful to Colin Sawford, guitar and mandolin maestro for posting me a DVD of Riff Raff playing live and I was well impressed and looking forward to seeing them. I shall of course report on their performance at a later date. Sunday nights at the Yew Tree are going well with weekly karaoke nights, although I have not blessed them with my vocal talent as I am invariably in Chesterfield on Sundays. Chris Snell at the Victoria Inn has always had all draught drinks on offer on Monday nights and during televised football matches, having Sky Sports, ESPN and B.T.Sports, effectively covering every televised football match. Evidence of his foresight was on Sunday when Sheffield United played Fulham, a game exclusively broadcast by B.T. Sports. The pub was filled to capacity and the cheers and excitement were amazing when the Blades opened the scoring. Fulham equalised after United were reduced to ten men, and the Blades played magnificently to secure a draw. I felt sorry for them as they were denied a blatant penalty late in the game. Putting top class entertainment on Thursday nights has paid dividends at the Victoria and last Thursday was very good with the appearance of Emma Rossi, an excellent vocalist who received rapturous applause from the capacity crowd. Emma has been re-booked to appear again in March, details to follow, and is not to be missed. My girlfriend Caron and I were pleased to be invited to the private launch of a new Thai restaurant in Worksop. Owners husband and wife team Amm and Robert Wells who previously

had a take away shop in Hasland, have opened a superb restaurant, Thai Cassia, on Park Street, and we had an amazing night. Caron and I have dined in the best restaurants all over the world and the food at Thai Cassia ranks with the best; I strongly recommend a visit for a gourmet experience. The majority of the invited guests were Thai girls, and we were made to feel very welcome with their overt friendliness. We would like to thank Amm and Robert for their kind invitation and I am pleased to publish a photograph of this lovely couple.

PREMIER LEAGUE DARTS RETURNS TO THE ARENA

Premier League Darts has developed into a mustsee sporting event for fans across the UK and Ireland in recent years and there’s already huge anticipation ahead of the 2014 competition, which will visit the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield on Thursday 10th April 2014. Tickets purchased online and via the ticket hotline are priced £22 - £44 including booking fee. Tickets purchased in person are priced £42 – £21 including booking fee. On sale now! Peter Wright and Dave Chisnall will make their debuts in Premier League Darts in 2014 after being confirmed amongst the ten-player field alongside Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen, Adrian Lewis, Simon Whitlock, Raymond van Barneveld, Robert Thornton, Wes Newton and Gary Anderson. Scottish-born Wright has been rewarded for his success in reaching the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship final with his first appearance in darts’ roadshow tournament. Chisnall is rewarded for his rise into the world’s top five, which has included a run to the World Grand Prix final, a European Tour win and two Players Championship victories, with his debut in Premier League Darts. Michael van Gerwen, who won the Premier League Darts title in his debut season in 2013, will defend his title this season alongside six-time champion Phil Taylor and 2011 winner Gary Anderson, who is one of the Sky Sports Wildcards in the event. Former Premier League Darts finalists Adrian Lewis and Simon Whitlock are joined by Raymond van Barneveld, a six-time semi-finalist in the tournament, while Robert Thornton and Wes Newton retain their places after making their Premier League Darts debuts in 2013. “This is a fantastic line-up for the 2014 Premier League Darts and I congratulate Peter Wright and Dave Chisnall on their selection, which is fully deserved after their brilliant years,” said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn. “The Premier League Darts has always guaranteed excitement, shocks and worldclass darts, and this line-up of ten players is sure to provide that by the bucket-load! Hearn added: “There is always going to be debate and discussion over which players are included but the Wildcards chosen both by ourselves and Sky Sports provide a great mix of quality, experience and personalities. “Many more players came into consideration due to the incredibly high standard now on the PDC circuit, particularly Andy Hamilton and Kim Huybrechts, as well as James Wade. “James has enjoyed six great years in Premier League Darts and was a worthy champion in 2009, however this year we believe that he would benefit from a break from the pressures and travel of competing in the tournament to continue his treatment for his welldocumented health issues.”~ 2014 Premier League Darts Competitors: Phil Taylor 16-time World Champion Michael van Gerwen Reigning Premier League Darts Champion Simon Whitlock 2012 European Champion Adrian Lewis 2011 & 2012 World Champion Dave Chisnall 2013 World Grand Prix Runner-Up Peter Wright 2014 World Championship Finalist Wes Newton Two-time Major Finalist Robert Thornton 2012 UK Open Champion Raymond van Barneveld Five-Time World Champion Gary Anderson 2011 Premier League Darts Champion

Weekly Wit With... ALBERT SNODGRASS

At a job interview: “What are your strengths?” “I’m an optimist and a positive thinker.” “Can you give me an example?” “Yes, when do I start?” I saw on the news today that people are campaigning to have level crossings removed since 10 people died last year after they ignored the ﬂashing light and loud ringing bell, then vaulted over the brightly coloured barrier and were hit by an oncoming train. I think they’re missing the point. Charles Darwin invented level crossings speciﬁcally to rid the world of these people. The other day I held the door open for a clown. I thought it was a nice jester. My favourite exercise is a cross between a lunge and a crunch. It’s called lunch. The warning label on my smart price mustard told me to reject it if the lid appears depressed. I mean of course I don’t expect it to be as chirpy as one from Waitrose or M&S, but how miserable can mustard get?? I fell asleep behind the wheel once. It cost me my job as a Roulette dealer. I’ve just released my own fragrance. But no one on this bus seems to like it. Our goalkeeper showed off his cat-like reactions in our last game. He was completely indifferent to everything that was happening around him. A bunch of random vowels and consonants got arrested last week for leaving a novel without the author’s consent. They are all awaiting sentencing. Cops came knocking this morning. “Who is it?” I shouted. “Police.We need to talk.” “How many of you are there?” “There’s two of us.” “Good, so why don’t the two of you have a chat and leave me the hell alone.”

SPIRITUAL EVENTS

Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

Superstitious Colors Humans are quite unique among mammals as we have colour receptors to recognise any colour. Most mammals see only in black and white, and rely heavily on their sense of smell. I have always believed that dogs can see colour even though a great deal of research has said differently. I have four lovely dogs and each one of them has a unique character. For Christmas I bought them a set of four balls that were identical in every way except for their colour; 1 yellow, 1 green, 1 red and 1 black. The balls were brand new and so didn’t have a particular smell that might affect the dog’s judgement. I placed all four balls in a row on the ﬂoor and all of the dogs went for the yellow ball. I did some more research again today and low and behold, Russian researchers have now proven that dogs can see the colours brown, blue and yellow! While researching this I discovered another interesting fact...did you know that dogs are wearing yellow ribbons to indicate that they need space. A yellow ribbon warns us not to approach the dog. This could be for a number of reasons including pup in training, in season, unwell, post op or merely old and grumpy! A very good idea but I would have thought red would have been a more appropriate colour choice indicating danger rather than mellow yellow. If you want to read more you can visit http://www. yellowdoguk.co.uk So back to colours!! Surprisingly even our linguistic deﬁnitions of colour differ around the world. In Asia they make no distinction between blue and green.

In Korea both blue and green are referred to buy the word Purueda. Hungarians use two basic words for Red - Piros (used for inanimate objects) and Vooroos to refer to living things. The Colour Black The connotations of the colour black are predominately negative. Black is said to be the devil’s colour. Black cats and black bats are said to be the witches’ family, creating a barrier to the heavenly realm. However, in Scotland if you see a black cat it is a sign of prosperity and if you see a black goat on the way to a wedding it means there is treasure nearby! A visit from a black moth is actually a friendly appearance by the soul of someone who has departed this earth. The Color Blue There are many shades of blue. The most popular blue is the Lapis Luzuli blue. Anything in this colour commands a high price. Blue is a magical colour, the hue of heaven, hard for mortals to capture and very lucky. If you touch blue your wish will come true. If a blue candle burns without a trace of red it is thought to predict death or the presence of a spirit. In the Bible God called upon the Israelites to sew blue tassels to their garments to remind them to keep his commandments. Cattle with cramps can be cured if they eat Bluebells. In England nursing mothers would wear blue necklaces made of thread to protect their unborn from fevers. Children would wear necklaces of blue beads to ward off colds, ﬂu, and bronchitis. Next week I will talk about Chinese New Year customs and superstitions. To contact me please text 07811632353

HAVE YOUR SAY Come to our Workshop to capture stories and solutions about social isolation and loneliness amongst older people in Sheffield Thursday 6 February from 4pm to 8pm at Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind, 5 Mappin Street, Sheffield. • Have you ever experienced social isolation or loneliness, or know someone who has? • Do you have a disability, have you recently been bereaved, or are you a carer? • Are there other issues – culture, information, or geography– that make accessing support harder for you? We know all these factors can affect how you feel, and we want to hear your stories and solutions for Sheffield. Your contribution will then inform Sheffield’s bid to the Big Lottery for up to £6 million in funding to reduce social isolation amongst older people in Sheffield. Drop into our ‘Age Better in Sheffield Community Workshop’ hosted by Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind with Silent Cities, SACHMA, and South Yorkshire Housing Association, to have your say and help Sheffield win the bid!

Activities will include: • Learn photography and take portrait pictures. • Get a free hand massage (and learn how to give a hand massage) with Dr Sarah Bryant. • Pop in our diary room to record a 60 second documentary about your experiences. • Join our think-tank – if you were King or Queen of Sheffield what would you do to prevent social isolation and loneliness? It won’t cost a penny, and there’s FREE lovely food and drinks available from 5pm. FREE transport may be available for those who need it. If you want help with transport, please ring Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind on 0114 272 2757 and say you would like to book transport for the Ageing Better event. We will try to sort a mini bus for areas of greatest need, or a taxi to collect you and take you back home. For more information, please email Justine Gaubert at silentcitiesltd@gmail.com or ring 07967 819183. To book transport, please ring Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind on 0114 272 2757. This event is commissioned by South Yorkshire Housing Association and run by Silent Cities with SRSB and SACHMA in addition to the Ageing Better Core Partners.

UNIVERSITY RECOGNISED AS INCLUSIVE EMPLOYER BY STONEWALL The University of Sheffield has been recognised for its outstanding support for staff after being ranked in the top 100 Stonewall Workplace Equality Index. It was placed 82nd out of almost 400 organisations across the UK in the nationally recognised league table which benchmarks organisations according to their support provisions for Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual (LGB) staff. This year the University rose 24 places and was highlighted as a fully inclusive community to work with staff and students endorsing the institution as a supportive working environment. Andrew Dodman, Director of Human Resources at the University of Sheffield, said: “I am delighted that the University of Sheffield has been named as a Top 100 employer by Stonewall. “Our vision is to create a remarkable place to work, and LGBT equality is a key aspect of this. Being in the Top 100 serves to both acknowledge our efforts, and provides a strong platform for us to continue with this really important work.” The University of Sheffield aims to support people, regardless of their sexual orientation or any other equality characteristic, to work together to create and be part of an all-encompassing university community. Over the past 12 months an innovative collaboration of staff across the university, including the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) staff and student networks, have launched a number of pioneering initiatives such as Storying LGBT@TUoS. The project began as a partnership between the LGBT Staff Network and the LGBT

Student Committee to create a film documenting the experiences of LGBT students and staff at the University. In the inspirational film lecturers, staff and students answered questions such as ‘What was it like coming out?’ and ‘What is it like being out and studying or working at the University?’ in the hope that it will provide people with an understanding of the challenges they faced and overcame and to help new and prospective students and staff gain an insight into the outer LGBT community. The film was showcased during LGBT History month when University of Sheffield Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sir Keith Burnett, paid tribute to those who appeared in the film and emphasised the importance of sharing and celebrating individual stories. In July the University proudly flew the Rainbow Flag outside Firth Court in recognition of Sheffield Pride. This significant mark of support coincided with the institutions fourth consecutive sponsorship of Pride as part of its community engagement work. Matthew Mears, Acting Chair of the LGBT Staff Network said: “The University, through its Equality and Diversity teams and the staff network, has been making great strides with LGBT equality in the workplace and it is fantastic that Stonewall has recognised this by ranking us in the top 100 employers in the UK. I’m proud to be a member of staff here and look forward to seeing what new projects the University has in store!” For more information about Stonewall and the Workplace Equality Index visit http:// www.stonewall.org.uk

time the number of symbols expanded and the German tradition came to assign gifts that had direct connections with each stage of married life. The symbols have changed over time. For example in the United Kingdom, diamond was a well known symbol for the 75th anniversary, but this changed to the now more common 60th anniversary after Queen Victoria's 60 years on the throne was widely marked as her Diamond Jubilee. The origins of the current gift conventions date to 1937. Before that, only the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 50th, and 75th anniversaries had an associated gift. In 1937, the American National Retail Jeweler Association (now known as Jewelers of America as a result of an organizational merger) introduced an expanded list of gifts. The revamped list gave a gift for each year up to the 20th, and then for every ﬁfth anniversary after that.

Years & Gifts

The names of some anniversaries provide guidance for appropriate or traditional gifts for the spouses to give each other; if there is a party these can be brought by the guests or inﬂuence the theme or decoration. These gifts vary in different countries, but some years have well-established connections now common to most nations: 5th Wooden, 10th Tin, 15th Crystal, 20th China, 25th Silver, 30th Pearl, 40th Ruby, 50th Golden, 60th Diamond. The tradition may have originated in medieval Germany where, if a married couple lived to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their wedding, the wife was presented by her friends and neighbours with a silver wreath to congratulate them for the good fortune that had prolonged the lives of the couple for so many years. On celebration of the 50th, the wife received a wreath of gold. Over

Good Luck and Bad Luck 1. Hey, brides, tuck a sugar cube into your glove - according to Greek culture, the sugar will sweeten your union. 2. The English believe a spider found in a wedding dress means good luck. Yikes! 3. In English tradition, Wednesday is considered the “best day” to marry, although Monday is for wealth and Tuesday is for health. 4. The groom carries the bride across the threshold to bravely protect her from evil spirits lurking below. 5. Saturday is the unluckiest wedding day, according to English folklore. Funny -- it’s the most popular day of the week to marry! 6. Ancient Romans studied pig entrails to determine the luckiest time to marry. 7. Rain on your wedding day is actually considered good luck, according to Hindu tradition! 8. For good luck, Egyptian women pinch the bride on her wedding day. Ouch! 9. Middle Eastern brides paint henna on their hands and feet to protect themselves from the evil eye. 10. Peas are thrown at Czech newlyweds instead of rice.

CHESTERFIELD TRIO JOIN NATIONAL TOUR Chesterfield performers Claire Sadler, Sarah Bownes and Marie Herrington have just landed an 18 date tour with the nostalgic 1940ʼs variety show, ʻA Salute to the 1940ʼsʼ. The local singers have just formed their trio called ʻDaisy Bellesʼ and will be performing a tribute to the Andrews Sisters in the show. The trio only formed last September and already are making a name for themselves on the vintage performers circuit. They perform all their vocals live and have recreated the intricate harmonies made famous by the Andrews Sisters. The show will be performing in theatres and 1940ʼs events up and down the country from the Billingham Forum theatre in the North East to Ramsgate where they have been chosen as the official act to open the historic Ramsgate Tunnels on June 1st. Claire Sadler, who plays in the trio, also performs a spot as the Lancashire singer Gracie Fields. Claire says, ʻ Itʼs been so exciting, this time last year we had never met, Sarah and myself both attended an audition for Groovy Gazza Productions and were both offered roles in the show but as soon as we started working together something just clicked and we decided to develop a full show. We brought Marie in last Autumn and have been working in the studio on the harmonies and dance routines.ʼ Sarah continues, ʻWe started touring around the residential homes building the act and this year we have been asked to perform in the show as a trio, which is amazing, we feel that all the hard work is starting to pay offʼ. They did their first show last weekend to a sell out crowd in Oxford and carry on the tour next week in Norwich. Details of where the show will be performing can be found on the shows website at www.veralynntribute.eu

Take A Breath For CF EVENT SET FOR THE TRADES

Some of the region’s best bands are joining forces to raise money for charity. Rotherham Trades will be the host to a new and exciting charity event that will well and truly rock the socks off the people of South Yorkshire on Friday 21st February. Take A Breath For CF is a music event showcasing some of the best cover and original bands in the region, using the power of good old-fashioned live music to bring people together. Providing the people of Rotherham and Sheffield with a fun night of live entertainment, the event is to raise money and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis ward at Sheffield Hospital. Cystic Fibrosis is one of the most common life threatening diseases in the UK and thousands of children, teenagers and young adults are living and suffering with it today.

Circus of Horrors rolls into sheffield The last couple of years has seen the profile of The Circus of Horrors jump tremendously after rampaging into the finals of Britain's Got Talent & then appearances on various subsequent TV shows, The X Factor, The Slammer, Daybreak, Fairground Attractions, Who wants to be a Millionaire, Body Shockers & Fake Reaction. This combined with the release of the Dr Haze autobiography ‘Mud Blood & Glitter’ have certainly made it an exciting time for The Circus of Horrors. The media profile is continuing with large editorial & images in almost every nation newspaper & an further appearance on This Morning & more pending TV shows including a Discovery Channel special. This amazing show arrives in Sheffield at the City Hall on it’s current tour on Friday 7th February with tickets starting at £16.50. The current tour saw another giant leap for the show when it began a series of dates in The Lyric theatre in London's West End, the first time a circus has appeared in a West End Theatre for 100 years & a fitting way to celebrate 18 bloody years of Shock n’ Roll. In addition to the London date’s they will be engaging in a huge British tour, taking in around 100 venue’s in pretty well all of the UK’s major cities from Aberdeen to Truro. The show started it’s gruesome begging's at the 1995 Glastonbury Festival and became an instant hit, touring al over the world from Chile to Chatham, Argentina to Aberdeen, Japan to Jersey including festival appearances with Alice Cooper, Eminem, Motley Crue, Oasis, Iron Maiden & The Manic St Preachers and many more. The West End show’s were particularly significant, taking the extreme to the mainstream without compromise & proof of how far the show has come. The latest incarnation ‘London after Midnight’ is inspired by the film of the same name. Set in plague ridden London & climaxing with the Great Fire of 1666. The story twists and turns with grisly murders and sensational shock’s – all interwoven with some of the greatest and most bizarre circus acts on earth, sword swallowers, knife throwers, daredevil balancing acts, astounding aerialists, a dwarf strong man, a Guinness World Record holding ‘hairculian’ hair hanging beauty, sinister sisters, gyrating & fire limboing acrobats, dislocating contortionist & much more. Performed by an almighty cast with a forked tongue firmly in each cheek and the devil driver rock n’ roll of Dr Haze & The Interceptors from Hell. For tour dates & details go to www.circusofhorrors.co.uk Tickets are available from the Sheffield City Hall Box Office at www.sheffieldcityhall.co.uk priced £16.50 to £27.50

WIN TICKETS TO SEE “CHUBBY” BROWN AT DONCASTER DOME On the 7th of Feburary one of the UK’s most popular and controversial comedians returns to South Yorkshire as Roy “Chubby” Brown graces Doncaster Dome. Easily recognisable by his ﬂying cap, goggles and multicoloured suit as well his his close (very close at times) to the bone style of comedy “Chubby” is rarely seen on TV but has still managed to to enjoy a successful 40 year career and has one of the largest fanbases in the country. Starting work as an entertainer on the Working Mens Club scene in the 60’s ﬁrst as a drummer and later as a comedy act under the name “Alcock & Brown”. Brown appeared on the UK television talent show New Faces in the 1970s, coming second to a country and western band. He failed the audition for another television talent show Opportunity Knocks after saying the word ‘arse’ during his interview. Although Roy divides opinion with his style of comedy even without mainstream coverage his top selling live show DVD’s (he’s now up to 23 and counting) and sell-out performances show that he

VOICE OF THE MAKING YOUR NIGHTINGALE MONDAY RADIO NIGHTINGALE by Mel Jaques

Radio Nightingale broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the patients of the Rotherham General Hospital. The station is run almost entirely by volunteers who take part in a variety of activities to keep the station on the air. Our aim is to help patients feel a little better whilst they’re in hospital. One thing that we know is important is maintaining contact with the world outside and that’s why each week we broadcast a What’s On Guide of events happening in the Rotherham area. We’ve recently been in touch with a number of community groups in the area and are now starting to receive a steady ﬂow of regular and one-off activities. These all feature in the broadcast What’s On Guide and also appear on the Community Events page of our website. Through the website you can check the details of any event in the What’s On Guide and send us details of any other events in Rotherham that you are organising. There is no cost for including events in the What’s On Guide and we hope that it will become a valuable community resource, particularly for the smaller organisations who provide such important services for the people of Rotherham. So check out the Community Events page on our website to see what’s on in Rotherham or to send us details of other events to add to the diary.

MAGIC AM by Trevor Thomas

Well, just last week we had the day they refer to as ‘Blue Monday’ when our spirits are at their lowest ebb, thanks to the dark winter days, not having any money because of overspending on Christmas presents, and it being ages until we might get another break or holiday away. We wanted to do something to counteract all of this and this is what we’ve come up with… On Magic Breakfast at the start of each week we’re getting together with Aviva Car Insurance to ‘Make your Monday’. Simply tell us what would brighten up your world – new clothes, a new hair-do or something completely different! We heard from Craig, whose brother Rob ruined Christmas dinner by mistaking gravy for coffee, so bought him a year’s worth of gravy granules just in case he ever goes short again. Also, Darren wanted a gym pass and some brand new clothes. He’d unfortunately lost his job just prior to Christmas so needed a pick me up to lighten his mood. Have a think about what would make your Monday and get in touch. Simply visit magicam. co.uk and submit all the details about what it is that would ‘Make your Monday’. You could be getting a surprise telephone call with some very good news.

Radio Nightingale broadcasts Good luck, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the patients and staff of the Trevor Rotherham General Hospital on 945 &1350mw, Hospedia and online.

CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK by Ruth Cherrington

27th January marked the annual Holocaust Memorial Day. This important day, established in 2000 by representatives from 46 countries who met in Stockholm, is a reminder of the millions who were murdered in Nazi death camps. The majority of the victims (but by no means all) of that hard to comprehend hatred were Jews rounded up from across Europe. It is like Remembrance Day on a huge scale, with events held around the world. It’s important to remember what happened because we sadly still see ‘ethnic cleansing’ going on in different countries and witness racism and discrimination daily closer to home. One of the Working Men’s Club and Institute Union early mottos was about ‘honouring all men and strangers at the door.’ They are all brothers (and sisters.) The early club movement had a strong Jewish membership as well as embracing other religious and cultural groups. Some expressed their identity in the club’s name or had a membership largely drawn from a particular group. There were several Jewish Radical clubs afﬁliated to the WMCIU in the late 19th century. It was expected, however, that men from other backgrounds could join. Discrimination against Jews and Catholics was still sanctioned by the law at that time and prominent Victorian politician Benjamin Disraeli was very familiar with racial discrimination. In spite of being baptized an Anglican at 13, he was often referred to as a Jew, sometimes in disparaging ways. He was and remains the only Jewish born British Prime Minister. Jewish clubs took part in club games and tournaments, for example in 1876 when the Jewish Working Men’s Club and Institute beat the Bermondsey Institute and had to then contend with the St. Pancras Club team. Clubs were intended for all types of working men. With the movement eventually stretching across England, Wales and Scotland, there emerged a form of indigenous multiculturalism long before the term was invented. The WMCIU executive wanted the movement to be a ‘broad church’ with men joining from different religious and political persuasions. Many early clubs supported the rights and struggles of different peoples in other countries such as the Bulgarians struggling to be free from the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th century. Jewish clubmen took up the call to arms after the outbreak of the First World War and played their part. Their contributions and losses should not be forgotten.

DOWN BUT NOT OUT Words by KT Evans

Edging closer and closer to their world tour, You Me At Six are the band of 2014. Whether it be performing live throughout international stages of rock, releasing kick-ass singles across the radio phenomena or simply taking the time out to meet and greet their increasingly loyal fan base, the five piece are Britain’s finest export. In celebration of their success to date, we thought it only necessary to give you the You Me At Six lowdown… Established in 2006, Josh, Max, Chris, Matt and Dan started off in humble beginnings gigging around the rock circuit, however quickly rose to fame in 2008 with debut album ‘Take Off Your Colours.’ This peaked at number 25 in the UK album charts, which was swiftly followed by release number two; Hold Me Down. Debuting at number 5 in the charts, this album sees collaborations with Aled Phillips from Kids In Glass Houses along with Sean Smith from The Blackout on track ‘The Consequence.’ ‘Sinners Never Sleep’ in 2011 proceeded this, being released on 3rd October. Selling 150,000+ copies, Sheffield’s

Oli Sykes provided guest vocals on the single ‘Bite My Tongue,’ a track which safeguarded You Me At Six as one of the current rock scene’s most celebrated acts. A headline show at Wembley arena followed, not to mention countless festival appearances including a belter of a set on the main stage at Leeds and Reading Festival, plus a headline slot on the Zippo Stage at Download 2012, You Me At Six quickly highlighted themselves as a signiﬁcant force to be reckoned with. Established in London in 2009, John Franceschi’s clothing line ‘Down But Not Out’ is the singers own personal take on supplying trendies with individually designed threads. Describing the name as “…my ethos, my way of approaching life for the last two years or so. You know all that ﬁghting your corner to get taken seriously in the music industry stuff, I thought what better way to share this than to print it onto clothing…” the brand is all about bold, simplistic designs. Offering vintage tees, accessories (including a pretty nifty autograph book) alongside beanies, hoodies and bags, Josh and co have you covered whatever the weather. “I also like the notion of keeping designs limited, so that if you buy something from us, I want you to feel like you are buying into something that’s exclusive, something a little different…” You Me At Six are performing throughout the UK in March and April including Manchester Apollo and London’s Alexandria Palace. Check out www. youmeatsix.co.uk for ticket info!

TIME FOR A BLACKOUT Preview: The Blackout Date: 01/02/14 Venue: The Leadmill Words by KT Evans Famed for their awe-inspiring stage presence, total entertainment factor and bloody awesome hair-cuts, The Blackout are set to embark on their full UK Final Party Tour throughout February. Never ones to hold back on quite simply, anything they thrown themselves into, the six piece from Merthyr are all guns blazing as they are to perform at Sheffield’s Leadmill on 1st February. If you’ve ever had the chance to see The Blackout live, you will understand exactly what we mean when we say…these guys come with warning bells. Not ones for the faint hearted (or quite frankly, anybody who can’t take a joke!) Sean Smith and co will not only plaster a smile across you face but most probably charm the pants off you throughout the process! Part of the independent venue week, the show is in celebration of all things unique, local and personal, so with The Leadmill as their infamous backdrop, you’re guaranteed a one-off belter of a live set. Sybil Bell, head of the independent venue week initiative spoke recently about the difficulties music venues have to deal with: “The struggle to compete with large, sponsor-backed venues makes it a tough and challenging time for independents. Combine this with bands finding it harder to tour due to limited revenues and rising on-the-road costs and we can

all see what a difficult climate live venues find themselves in. There’s never been a more important time to highlight the importance of these treasured places; getting people excited about discovering new music up close and personal and reigniting fans passion for gig-going.” The Blackout feel strongly about supporting independently unique venues. Whether it be local, national or indeed international musical platforms, the band’s central ethos is to give back to their fans as much as the fans give to them. Having recently released their fourth studio album ‘Start The Party’ on 21st January, the tour will not only be a celebration of the group’s new music, but also a massive party for fans, supporters and music lovers alike! The Blackout are to perform at the Leadmill on 1st February.

angler’s corner

by Clint Walker

I’ve got a bit of a ‘thing’ for winter roach, so another session this week saw me at Gawsworth Fisheries in Cheshire...despite the weather warnings..... On arrival, the gunmetal grey sky gave few hints at what was to come later, and I set about watching the water for a few minutes to look for signs of any fish. I also had one eye on the wind direction and selected a spot I thought may offer some protection if the conditions changed, and proceeded to dump my kit and set the brolly up just in case! My roach fishing this year has been mainly feeder work, and I had some of the new Marukyu Nori-G groundbait with me which has been specifically engineered to be attractive to silver fish, and a small selection of JPz hook pellets. The groundbait was quickly mixed up, a couple of handfuls of 2mm Jpelletz added and then crammed into a small open ended feeder; on the hook, a red JPz and it was quickly cast out to a likely spot whilst I made camp. As I tried to get organised, the first rattles on the tip indicated some interest, and before a minute had passed, the first of a stream of roach came quickly to hand. There is something obliging about roach; I’m not an angler who particularly enjoys sitting biteless behind carp alarms in the depths of winter, so I’ll change my targets accordingly and fish for whatever I feel gives me the best chance of catching something....otherwise I feel I’m just wasting fishing hours... Finally settled, and catching almost every cast, I peeped around the edge of my brolly and noticed that the sky had darkened considerably; a blackness

LOCAL FOOTBALL, FISHING, HORSE RACING EVERY WEEK SPONSORED BY CHAMPS

with clearly deﬁned sheets of rain hanging below it, and heading my way. I quickly checked all the pegs, secured my kit within the boundaries of my shelter and watched apprehensively as the gloom marched onwards.... On the far bank, a line of age old oak and sycamore trees stood bared of leaves and stark against the horizon. I watched as each in turn bowed like falling dominoes and bent over as the wind pushed in with fury; the noise became incredible as the sky darkened further. My brolly was not bearing the strain well. I stood with my feet braced against the bottom of the storm (ha!) poles, my gloved hands clutched the upper rib clamps and my back arched into the battered material to try and stop it splitting....and it just got worse! Hail the size of split lentils slashed down as the wind whipped waves onto the bank around my feet....I couldn’t move to stop my kit getting soaked, I couldn’t breathe and I couldn’t feel my face as it was lashed by stinging assault...I can honestly say I’ve never been out in such conditions, even during my time at sea on Destroyers...no wonder I was the only angler on the bank! Not once, but three times did I stand the battering as weather cells assailed me; an hour later and the sun shone as I surveyed the devastation. Storm poles bent like the spine of a Disney witch, tattered fabric ﬂapping, dripping and useless, pegs twisted and unusable, my barrow overturned in the mud, the ground coated white with hail and me bemused by the experience. Taking advantage of the weather, I quickly gathered my sopping gear, piled the barrow high and struggled through the mire back to the relative safety of the van, stopping only to deposit the broken brolly in the skip..... Despite the weather, I caught well until my stint as a ‘Twister’ extra, but had I known what was coming, I think I would have stayed in bed and dreamed about monster roach.... Now, anybody know where I can get a decent brolly?

racing form by Timelord

This weekend’s Channel 4 racing comes from Sandown, Ffos Las and Wetherby. There are seven races in total with four from Sandown, two from Ffos Las and one from Wetherby. The day’s feature race is the Grade 1 Betfred TV Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase from Sandown. Sandown: 1.50 Betfred “Goals Galore” Handicap Chase, 5yo+, 0-150, 2m: Desert Cry was ultimately quite impressive when scooting up over two miles at Wetherby recently where he had Grey Gold back in second place, Filbert in fourth, Doeslessthanme in fifth and Oscar Hill in eighth. The latter named is possibly entitled to finish a good bit closer this time if he can get round without clouting the fences. Desert Cry merits plenty of respect in this hat-trick bid along with last time out winners Eastlake and Rebel Rebellion, who also have bright prospects, but I have a hunch that, with the shorter distance helping, Venetia Williams’ mare Pepite Rose could go very close after a pretty good performance behind Captain Chris at Kempton last time. Finally, in a very open contest, Viva Colonia and Pendra merit serious consideration. The order of preference for me is: Pepite Rose; Desert Cry; Rebel Rebellion; Viva Colonia; Grey Gold; Doeslessthanme; Pendra; Filbert; Eastlake; and Oscar Hill. 2.25 Betfred TV Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase, Grade 1, 5yo+, 2m 4f 110yds: Paul Nicholls possibly has this sewn up with his two smart novices Benvolio and Valco de Touzaine. Both have very respectable time figures in my book and look to be ahead of the rest here, despite Oscar Whisky having very good form figures and Ardkilly Witness having recorded a very good time figure himself. Oscar Whisky defeated Taquin du Seuil (winner again since) at Cheltenham last timeout but the race was slowly run and may therefore be misleading, while his earlier defeat of Wonderful Charm at that venue should have given the Nicholls camp all the information they need about relative abilities. Hopefully Ardkilly Witness will appear in the 3.35 handicap later on this card so, if there is to be a real surprise package in this event, it could emerge in the guise of Roger Beantown who can go well on occasions. Toby Lerone and Manyriverstocross look to me to have a bit to find to trouble the principals. The pecking order for me is: Valco de Touzaine; Benvolio; Ardkilly Witness; Oscar Whisky; Toby Lerone; Roger Beantown; and Manyriverstocross.

looks to be quite a strong race however with more than ten of them having recorded good times on their last outings. Therefore, using their last time out speed ratings to determine the order of preference gives: Ardkilly Witness; Grandioso; Amigo; Jump City; Faultless Feelings; Theatrical Star; Pete the Feat; Ringa Bay; On Trend; Relax; and Roalco de Farges. The selection, who looks to be improving with chasing experience, was a nineteen length winner over two miles ﬁve furlongs at Wincanton last timeout, goes well on right handed tracks and races off the same mark here. He should take all the beating if lining up for this rather than the Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase earlier on the card. Ffos Las: 2.05 Burns Pet Nutrition Welsh Champion Hurdle (Limited Handicap), 4yo+, 2m 4f: Saphir Du Rheu holds an entry for this and must be a strong contender. However his rise in the weights is a negative and I prefer the chances of Alan King’s Medinas after his second to Celestial Halo at Newbury last time out. The order of preference for the reserves is: Sir Pitt; Oscar Magic; Radmores Revenge; Saphir du Rheu; Awaywiththegreys; Like Minded; Alaivan; Grand Vision; Lienosus; and Top Gamble. 2.40 Burns Pet Nutrition West Wales National (Handicap Chase), 5yo+, 3m 4f: After his game Coral Welsh National success in a good time this can go to Richard Lee’s Mountainous. He was tenacious there and can go in again here. Theatrical Star gets the ﬁrst reserve slot followed by: Ringa Bay; Carruthers; Sir Du Bearn; Hunters Lodge; Firebird Flyer; Emperor’s Choice; Bob Ford; and Flying Award.

Wetherby: 3.20 Totepool Towton Novices’ Chase, Grade 2, 5yo+, 3m 1f: By courtesy of his second to Taquin Du Seuil at Haydock recently, Sue Smith’s Coverholder gets a narrow vote to prevail over Green Flag and Ely Brown, despite both having possibly more to give in this sphere. Feared most is Ely Brown, who is one from one over fences and is therefore unexposed. His 16 length beating of Beeves at Leicester last time was franked as a very good effort when that one went on to finish third to Victor Hewgo in the Skybet Novices’ Chase at Doncaster last Friday. Green Flag has also posted some very respectable performances, particularly when second to Annacotty in the Grade 1 Feltham Novices’ Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day. Shutthefrontdoor and Milborough have also posted decent times on occasion but this will be Garde de Fou’s first attempt over 3.00 Betfred Mobile and Levy Board Heroes fences and the Point-to-Pointer, Strike Fast, is an unknown quantity. Handicap Hurdle, Grade 3, 4yo+, 2m 6f: After an impressive course and distance win in December Saphir Du Rheu cruised to an Selection summary (see above for reserves in easy-looking victory in the Lanzarote Hurdle at the event of non runners): Kempton last time. He looks to be well on the Sandown: upgrade but has been raised 13lbs for that last 1.50 Pepite Rose success which somewhat tempers enthusiasm 2.25 Valco de Touzaine for his chances this time. He may well rise to 3.00 Kaki de la Pree the occasion again but is also entered for the 3.35 Ardkilly Witness Welsh Champion Hurdle (2.05 Ffos Las) so I am looking elsewhere this time around.

SHARP RETURNS TO WIN A POINT AT THE SEASIDE It was cold, wet and very windy day at the seaside for today’s game. Rovers made one change from last week, with the return of the prodigal son, Billy Sharp, who replaced Harry Forrester. The home team made four changes under their caretaker-manager, Barry Ferguson, who was one of the four to drop out. Tony McMahon, on loan from Sheffield United made his debut for the Seasiders, with David Perkins, Michael Chopra and Nathan Eccleston also starting. Blackpool got the game going and went straight on to the attack. In the third minute, Khumalo brought down Davies, who threatened to break through. The referee deemed it worthy of a yellow rather than a red card because of other players being nearby. McMahon put the free kick wide of the far post. The 6th minute brought Rovers first attack when Tamas put over a good cross from the right, which Brown headed wide of the far post. Two minutes later and Robinson, cut in along the left byline before shooting but Turnbull beat it out at the near post for a corner. Then Davies got in behind the Rovers back line and tried to lift the ball over Turnbull but it was a poor effort that Turnbull easily caught. Blackpool were having most of the possession, with the Rovers unable to get their game going. In the 18th minute Eccleston cut in from the home left and hit a good right foot shot just past the far post. Davies then followed this by threading the ball through from the home left to Chopra on the Rovers six yard line. Unaccountably he miskicked the ball and Khumalo cleared. Basham, for the home team, tried his luck from 35yards but put over the bar. Past the half hour and Basham headed over following a free kick on the Blackpool right. As the last ten minutes of the first half came up, Rovers got more into the game without troubling the keeper, Gilks. In the 42nd minute a misplaced pass by Husband was seized on by Chopra but Turnbull pushed his effort away for a corner. As the 45th minute came up a good cross from Coppinger on the Rovers right was met with a diving header by Sharp, about 15 yards out, but it went wide of the near post. Into added time and Ecclestone got to the left byline before chipping the ball to the far post for the big man, Basham, to head the ball down but Turnbull got to it and cleared off the line for a corner, which was headed wide by Basham at the near post. Rovers got the second half underway but it was the home team who got the first strike at goal when Perkins shot over from 20yards. Keegan followed this with a shot from 25yards that Gilks saved comfortably. Blackpool then won a corner that was cleared and in the 56th minute Davies and Chopra both went for a ball just outside the six yard area, with the ball being skewed over the bar. Past the hour and Coppinger had a twenty-five yarder saved by Gilks and McMahon, for the home team, fired over from a free kick. In the 65th minute Davies skied his effort high over the bar from 25yards. Minutes later Rovers won a corner, which came out to Coppinger but his effort from 25yards was saved. Rovers , enjoying their best spell of the game, won another corner in the 70th minute, which came out of the Blackpool defence to Keegan, who put it back in for Brown, beating the offside, to shoot over from 8yards. Duffy then had a shot deflected for another corner to the Rovers but nothing came from it. Then, in the 78th minute, Blackpool made the

Food Served Every Saturday

breakthrough. A bout of head tennis, with Rovers failing to clear their lines, gave HALLIDAY the chance to shoot past Turnbull for the opening goal. The Rovers tried to hit back and in the 85th minute were awarded a free kick on the left touchline halfway in the home half. Husband put it over the defence for SHARP to divert into goal for an equaliser. Two minutes later Cotterill crossed from the left to the far post to Sharp but his header landed on top of the bar. Both clubs battled away for a winner but the referee blew time on a one-all draw. A good point to get for Rovers.

WITHDRAWN HITCHCOCK REVELL WITH CALF STRAIN LOOKING TO BOUNCE BACK QPR hitman Tom Hitchcock has called on his Rotherham United side to put their belowpar display with Crawley Town to the back of their minds as they face a crucial week in their promotion push. The Millers flirted in and out of the play-off positions during their see-saw battle with John Gregory’s side at the weekend with Kieran Agard’s brace, including a last-gasp strike, earning a vital point as they held onto fifth place by the skin of their teeth. Speaking exclusively to www.themillers.co.uk following the game, Hitchcock admitted his side were fortunate to have claimed a share of the spoils. “It was a good point in the end, especially coming from behind,” he said. “The performance from the lads wasn’t great and we all know that but we have a chance to put it right on Tuesday.” The Millers will face a stern test of their promotion credentials when they firstly make the trip to face Ronnie Moore’s Tranmere Rovers on Tuesday night before hosting high-flying Leyton Orient at NYS next Saturday. The lively frontman, who netted his first Millers goal in the 3-0 rout of Shrewsbury Town on their last away day, admits the trip to Birkenhead may be the ideal opportunity to bounce back to winning ways. “The games come thick and fast and that’s not a bad thing,” he added. “It gives you the chance to bounce back from a poor performance and we will be looking to get the three points in our next game.” The 21-year-old, who enjoyed a successful loan stint at Crewe Alexandra earlier in the campaign, will be hoping to catch the eye of his parent club during his temporary spell at the NYS but he is delighted at the ease of which he has adapted to life in South Yorkshire. “I’ve settled in well, the lads have been really good to me,” he enthused. “Rotherham is a great club and I want to play games and get as many goals as I can and hopefully help the club get promoted. “I think they (QPR) will be watching me up here, so it would be good for all concerned, if I do well.”

County Senior League Once again we were at the mercy of the weather on Saturday. In the end 14 games were postponed due to waterlogged pitches, and a further two went ahead but were abandoned due to the worsening conditions. S&HCFA Association Cup Quarter-Final It was third time lucky for North Gawber Colliery and Hallam Reserves, who finally got to play their Association Cup Quarter-Final following two previous postponements due to bad weather. It was North Gawber who were happiest though, as they beat Hallam Reserves 3-2 to reach the Semi-Finals. The Division Two leaders are the lowest racked team left in the competition, as all the other semi-finalists are from the County Senior’s Premier or First Divisions. Premier Division Goals from Richard Gomersall, Scott Copeland and Chris Glover gave Athersley Recreation Reserves a 3-2 win over Ecclesfield Red Rose at Sherrien Park. The two teams were involved in a high-scoring affair in the reverse fixture, when the points were shared in a 3-3 draw.

Rotherham United boss Steve Evans conﬁrmed after yesterday’s game that Alex Revell’s half-time substitution was the result of a groin strain, after being withdrawn for new signing Wes Thomas. Thomas made his home debut for the club, replacing Revell at half-time and going close in the second period as the Millers chased the game. “Alex Revell came off because he had got a calf strain,” Evans said after the game. “We just felt then we needed to get behind them with a bit of pace; Wes Thomas gives you that bit of channelled aggression and I thought when he came on today he was excellent. He was unlucky with a header off the line and could have maybe had a penalty but we’re looking forward to getting him in and working with him. Young Tom will have other days where more just comes off for him but we brought Haris on and I thought he did well.”

BLADES FORCE FA CUP REPLAY MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk

The Blades matched Premiership opposition once again and remain in the FA Cup. In an entertaining game at a wet and windy Bramall Lane, Chris Porter gave the Blades the lead before Hugo Rodallega levelled. The Blades played most of the second half without Porter, Harry Maguire or Michael Doyle, who was sent off, but a massive effort earned Nigel Clough’s side a replay. After a couple of pitch inspections by referee Andre Marriner, the game was given the go-ahead to kick-off and the incessant rain continued as the action got underway. Brayford was handed a debut from the start as boss Clough made three changes from the side that drew with Bradford City in the last league encounter. Coady and Porter were recalled in place of McMahon, Paynter and McGinn, the latter dropping to the bench. Also amongst the Blades substitutes were new boys Scougall and Harris, plus 18-yearold De Girolamo. Fulham, meanwhile, made a total of 11 changes. Murphy won an early free-kick and Porter attempted to get in ahead of Hughes as the Blades looked the ﬁrst to adapt to the conditions. The visitors, however, hit back with Long having to block out David and Rodallega heading over a Karagounis cross, although they had to make a change on ten minutes with Riise limping off.

As the rain came down heavier at the midway point in the first half, Baxter curled a free-kick wide after Porter was fouled by Hughes, whilst a Kasami cross at the other end stopped in the mud. The rain had eased and the sun had broken through just as the Blades grabbed th e lead on 31 minutes. Both Collins and Maguire brought the ball out of defence and it was the latter’s shot/cross which PORTER deflected past Stockdale at the Bramall Lane end. The goal was the catalyst for a spell of action at both ends. Long powered off his line and did just enough to prevent Rodallega getting in a shot, whilst two Baxter shots saw one saved and other blocked. Collins also did well to prevent Kasami making progress after a mix-up with Hill. Up until the break, the Blades looked comfortable, although Maguire did pick up a knock in injury-time following a clash with Rodallega. Maguire re-appeared for the second half and so did Scougall, the new signing replacing Porter. Early on Kasami shot wide and it was soon clear that Maguire had not recovered from the earlier knock and was replaced by another new boy, Harris, who went in to left back and Hill moved inside to a central role. Baxter shot at Stockdale after good work by Scougall and Coady but there was another reshape for Clough when Doyle was shown a straight red card following a clash with David. Scougall dropped into a midfield role but the next effort was from the Blades - a break from Brayford resulting in Flynn seeing his shot saved by Stockdale’s legs on 55 minutes. Fulham threw on Bent and the visitors were appealing for a penalty when Kasami went down under a Hill challenge but the referee waved play on. The Blades were still attempting to force the visitors back and a couple of runs by Murphy and a Baxter shot kept the fans on the edge of their seats. Karagounis had a free-kick blocked and fired another effort from distance at Long but again the Blades remained an offensive force. On 70 minutes, another mazy Flynn run was ended by a Hughes tackle but again no penalty was awarded - the Blades were so incensed with the failure to award a spot-kick that referee Marriner was fetched over to speak to Clough. Insult was added five minutes later. Karagounis and Duff were involved before Tankovic laid off for RODALLEGA to fire powerfully into the bottom corner from the edge of the box. Murphy remained a threat and Passley

was booked for halting him, whilst on the other flank Flynn was causing problems for Duff. With the game becoming stretched, Fulham were also having their moments - on 83 minutes Senderos headed against the crossbar from Kasami’s cross and Hill cleared up in the ensuing scramble. For the final five minutes McGinn replaced the tiring Baxter and Fulham missed an open goal late on. Kasami headed a Senderos shot across goal and Bent, at the back post, failed to hit the target. Rodallega mis-kicked as Fulham came close to adding winner just before four minutes of injury time was announced. In the added period Senderos added himself to the attack and the Blades fans did their utmost to inspire the players to one last push. In the final added minute an effort from Taarabt was deflected wide and the resulting corner saw Harris kick clear before huge applause from the Blades fans met the final whistle. Blades: Long, Brayford, Maguire (Harris 47), Hill, Flynn, Doyle, Porter (Scougall 45), Baxter (McGinn 84), Collins, Coady, Murphy. Unused: Howard, Miller, Kennedy, De Girolamo. Fulham: Stockdale, Riise (Plumain 10, Taarabt 67), Senderos, Kasami, Karagounis, Duff, Hughes, Rodallega, David (Bent 57), Tankovic, Passley. Unused: Stekelenburg, Kacaniklic, Taarabt, Christiansen, Pritchard.

BOSS ON KEY INJURIES

Harry Maguire (knee) and Chris Porter (hamstring) have both been rated as doubtful by Nigel Clough for Wednesday’s Sky Bet League One with Peterborough United at Bramall Lane. Maguire tangled with Hugo Rodallega in the ﬁrst-half and subsequently limped off just after half-time, whilst United’s goalscorer was withdrawn at the break after reporting a tight muscle. Speaking after the game, Clough, who will be without skipper Michael Doyle against Darren Ferguson’s Posh, says the duo will be monitored right up until the teamsheets are handed in on the night. Clough conﬁrmed: “Chris Porter had a very tight hamstring, if it goes he could miss the rest of the season, so he was withdrawn as a precaution. “Harry Maguire got a kick on a nerve at the side of his knee. He wanted to give it a go in the second-half but he wasn’t right and we knew he needed to get some treatment. “Bob Harris came on at left-back with Matt Hill moving to centre-half and again both were excellent.” Clough is also adamant United are still very much in the FA Cup fourth round tie, after Sunday’s stalemate. He added: “We have been to Villa Park and won, so now we look forward to a trip to Craven Cottage. Fulham will be focused on the league and proved that with 11 changes on Sunday, so who knows what will happen in the replay. “It was a remarkable effort on Sunday, our workrate and desire meant we deserved a replay at the very least.”

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2 13-14 OWLS THROUGH TO ROUND FIVE MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

The Owls booked their place in round five of the FA Cup on Saturday with a hugely entertaining 2-1 win over Rochdale. But it was a hard day at the office for the Owls who had to see out the majority of the second half with ten men following Joe Mattock’s dismissal just past the hour. After an even first half, Mattock nodded Wednesday in front from a corner just after the restart and minutes later, Oguchi Onyewu made it 2-0, prodding home from 12 yards from another Wednesday set piece. But Rochdale promptly hit back on 60 minutes with an outstanding volley from Michael Rose minutes before Mattock saw red. Despite Rochdale’s numerical advantage, the Owls held tight to advance into the next round of the competition, with the draw to be made on Sunday. Wednesday were out to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions that

dated back to late December and made a good start at Spotland. An early attack caused panic at the back for Dale, as Ashley Eastham picked up a caution for a rash challenge on Chris Maguire inches outside of the area. Wednesday continued to threaten inside the first 15 minutes and had a good chance to strike first through Caolan Lavery. Kieran Lee fizzed a low shot goalwards that fell to the young striker via a deflection, but the Northern Ireland Under-21 international couldn’t quite adjust his footing inside the six yard box to punish Dale. The Owls, though, were up against a Rochdale side full of confidence who were determined to add Wednesday to their growing list of cup scalps, and the hosts came within a whisker on the 20-minute mark. Midfielder Peter Vincenti rose high to head powerfully from a dangerous Matt Done delivery but wide of Damian Martinez’ goal. As the half progressed, Rochdale grew into the contest and had a golden chance to head into the break a goal to the good but Martinez made a crucial stop from Done. As the seconds ticked down on an end to end cup clash, Onyewu hit the post with downward header from Maguire’s corner before Jacques Maghoma ran through on goal in stoppage time but couldn’t beat Josh Lillis in the Dale goal. But just moments after the restart the Owls edged in front from a corner as Maguire whipped in a dangerous ball into the middle and Mattock got the

final touch at the back stick to put the visitors ahead. In what was an electric start to the second period, Onyewu then put Wednesday 2-0 up, with the goal coming from another flag kick. The ball landed in the heart of the danger zone and the USA international stabbed home into the net. But the game was far from over and that was proved on the hour mark when Dale captain Rose scored what was without doubt the goal of the tie. The ball fell to the skipper 25 yards from goal, who unleashed a ferocious left-footed volley that flew past Martinez to halve the deficit. The home side’s chances of a comeback were given a huge boost when, four minutes later, Mattock was dismissed after picking up a second yellow card. It was backs to the wall for the ten man Owls in the late stages with Rochdale throwing everything at their Championship opponents. But Wednesday prevented Dale from creating anything clear cut with some resolute defending to earn their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup. Rochdale: Lillis, Bennett (Camps 75), Eastham, Vincenti (Cummins 67), Hogan, Lund, Done, O’Connell, Rose, Allen (Donnelly 58), Henderson Owls: Martinez, Palmer, Loovens, Onyewu, Mattock, Maghoma (Coke 82), Semedo, Lee, Maguire, Nuhiu (Johnson 78), Lavery (Helan 67) Samantha & Carl Welcome You To

GRAY SPEAKS OF OWLS DELIGHT MANAGERʼS VIEW www.swfc.co.uk

Stuart Gray has spoken of his delight having been named as head coach of Sheffield Wednesday. Gray has successfully steered the Owls out of the relegation zone after taking over on a temporary basis from previous boss Dave Jones in December. The 53-year-old has posted six wins, four draws and just two defeats from his 12 games at the helm, including progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup. He told swfc.co.uk: “I am delighted to get the job on a permanent basis. “This is a football club with a rich heritage and history and I am very proud to become head coach. “While this is a fantastic honour for me on a personal note, I have to credit the players because they have given everything to get the recent results we have enjoyed. “It’s not been just the results, though, it’s the manner in which we have won games such as Leeds at Hillsborough in front of the nation on TV, when we were just electric. “The most important thing is that we have got out of the bottom three, but we’ve also scored goals, we’ve played well and the confidence is back in the team but there’s still a long, long way to go and we want to climb up that league as quickly as possible.”

BOSS PLEASED WITH CUP DRAW MANAGERʼS VIEW www.swfc.co.uk Stuart Gray has welcomed the home draw with Charlton in the ﬁfth round of the FA Cup. The Owls progressed to the last 16 courtesy of Saturday’s 2-1 win at Rochdale to earn the Hillsborough tie with the Addicks, which will take place on Saturday 15 February. And the newly-appointed head coach believes the draw represents an enticing ﬁxture for both sides. He said: “It’s a great draw and all that we could have asked for, a home game against a team from the Championship. “I guess we will be the favourites because we are at home but I’m sure Charlton will look at this tie and be pleased that they have avoided a team from the Premier League. “A cup run is always welcome for many reasons but as far as we’re concerned, that game is in three weeks and before that we have some very important games in the Championship.”
