STARS OF YORKSHIRE FESTIVAL REDA SHORTLISTED FOR 2014 RAISE THE ROOF FOOTBALL LEAGUE AWARD An exciting flash mob took Trinity Leeds by storm last week as the Yorkshire Festival 2014 programme was revealed for the very first time. Singers, artists and performers joined forces in a glittering spectacle at Europe’s newest shopping complex, to give the public a taste of what to expect. A carnival snail, woolly bikes, choirs and brass bands emerged from shops to join band Hope & Social on the concourse for a debut performance of the official Yorkshire Festival song, The Big Wide. They were watched by shoppers and supporters of the Yorkshire Festival 2014 which began its procession from Angelica through the complex to watch the performance en route to Holy Trinity Church. They are all part of the full programme of events which were announced today for the first time, as the county gears up for Yorkshire Festival 2014 – the first ever to precede the Tour de France in its 111 year history. The festival is the brainchild of Welcome to Yorkshire and has been backed by Yorkshire Water, Arts Council England and Yorkshire local authorities. Out of almost 400 bids, 47 projects were commissioned (full programme in date order attached) to be officially part of the 100-day festival - which will also include hundreds of fringe events. Highlights include: Los Angeles-based sculptor Thomas Houseago, from Leeds, has been tasked to create two magnificent, giant sculptures for Leeds city centre and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. These will be his first commissions for his home county and the first ever commissions to be made by the Yorkshire Sculpture Triangle. Phoenix Dance Theatre, in Leeds, will join forces with Scottish public arts charity NVA to create the world’s first Ghost Peloton, led by Phoenix artistic director Sharon Watson and NVA creative director Angus Farquhar. Ghost Peloton incorporates a riding team of 50 road racers, stunt cyclists and large-scale projection of dancers all utilising unique remote controlled light suits to produce a stunning live choreography. Ghost Peloton builds on the worldwide success of Speed of Light, which was first commissioned for the London 2012 Olympics. An appeal has now gone out to Yorkshire cyclists to get involved in this once-in-a-lifetime experience. West Yorkshire Playhouse will host “Beryl” written by TV star Maxine Peake to celebrate the extraordinary sporting achievements of
Morley cyclist Beryl Burton. Beryl is a specially commissioned adaptation from Ms Peake’s acclaimed 2012 Radio 4 play and marks her stage writing debut. Award-winning director Daisy Asquith teams up with cult musician Bill Nelson to create a new film as part of a series of screenings to be shown on 10 outdoor screens in stunning locations across Yorkshire. Tour de Cinema presents fiction and documentary films (including Alan Bennett’s rarely seen BBC film ‘A Day Out’, about a Halifax cycling club; and Jarvis Cocker’s blazing soundtrack for The Big Melt) also in 35 local town halls, city centre big screens and 10 extraordinary outdoor locations. Young farmers and artists will create eight stunning major land art pieces across South Pennines landscape for Fields of Vision, co-ordinated by Pennine Prospects. This will capture the spirit and impact of the tour on the landscape of Yorkshire Henrietta Duckworth, the festival’s Executive Producer, said: “Today we wanted to give people a flavour of this brand new arts festival - Yorkshire’s a big wide county and we’ve worked with our worldclass artists to create a rich and diverse programme of opportunities and surprises. It’s a first for the Grand Départ and a festival of free events across all art-forms. We invite everyone to explore the new, celebrate together and be part of it.” Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: “The Yorkshire Festival 2014 will be a countywide celebration of arts and culture creating excitement and anticipation in the 100 days before greatest free sporting show on the planet arrives in Yorkshire.” “The Yorkshire Festival in the run up to the Tour de France offers a great opportunity to showcase Sheffield’s cultural organisations and events. It’s a great platform to highlight the wide diversity of Yorkshire’s cultural mix and the amazing range of artistic talent particularly in Sheffield. The whole programme looks very exciting and will give opportunities to experience something new. I’m really pleased that so many organisations and events in Sheffield have been chosen to be part of it.” said Councillor Isobel Bowler, Cabinet Member for Culture, Sport and Leisure at Sheffield City CouncilVisit www.yorkshirefestival.co.uk, Yorkshire Festival on Facebook or follow Yorkshire Festival 2014 on Twitter - @YFest2014
Sheffield Wednesday’s Reda Johnson been shortlisted for the coveted PFA Player in the Community Award 2014. The Football League has named Johnson as one of three players through to the final stages in a category which recognises those whose community involvement made a huge impact in the last 12 months. The Owls’ defender has been nominated after having made over 100 community appearances in his three seasons at Hillsborough and making substantial donation to school for children with special needs. Johnson gifted £5,000 to Norfolk Park to help finance a £10,000 Magic Carpet - a sensory learning tool which projects interactive games onto the floor and responds to the slightest of movements. He has now pledged to help the school raise
the remaining funds and launched a charity appeal in a bid to reach their target. Reda said: “I’m delighted to have been nominated for the Football League’s PFA Player in the Community Award 2014. “It’s very important for me that I do my bit for the local community and give something back because football gives me a lot.” The Football League Awards celebrate on and off pitch achievements across the League’s 72 clubs rewarding players, clubs and fans. The two other players nominated for the PFA Player in the Community are Leyton Orient defender Elliot Omozus and MK Dons goalkeeper David Martin. The awards ceremony will take place at The Brewery, London, on Sunday 16th March 2014.

Copley’s Column
It is no secret that I am not a good traveller at night where entertainment is concerned, so it is just as well there is always a good selection of top entertainment on offer within a few miles of my home in Dronfield Woodhouse and this week has been no exception. Tuesday night is a no-brainer for me as Russ Dennett’s open mic night at the Yew Tree at Coal Aston is always great entertainment. This week was no exception with excellent performances from young boy band, The Chase, who really looked as if they were enjoying performing, and received rapturous applause from the large audience. Andy Birks, is a regular performer with his great individual voice, and looking nothing like, as has been suggested, Cliff Richard. Chris Paul, a young man who has grown in confidence and ability since I first saw him was very good, and I hope to see more of him. Phil Bentley, a great guitarist and singer is an ever present and is always well received. Since following Acoustic Angels, I have always loved to hear a saxophone and so I was pleased when a guy named Dave got up to play. Russ Dennett is an excellent presenter with a ready topical wit, and of course a brilliant musician. It goes without saying that the regular Thursday night’s entertainment is always first class, as I book the artistes. This week, it was the turn of regular local duo, Acoustic Lily, which comprises of Hannah Lily on lead vocals accompanied by Russ Dennett on acoustic guitar. I first saw Hannah get up to sing the occasional song whilst working behind the bar in a pub in Dronfield, ad thought then that she had a pleasant voice. With the benefit of a couple of years’ experience, she is now the finished article an goes from strength to strength. On Saturday night, we were spoilt for choice as the Miner’s Arms were hosts to top band AK47, who I have not seen yet but have heard rave reports, and I will be catching up with them soon. A tremendous band ,Firecracker, fronted by Rich Lownes were at Dore and Totley Golf Club and Junkyard Dog were at the Yew Tree. Caron graciously left this difficult decision to me, and I put the name of each venue into a bag

and drew out the Yew Tree, giving me my third opportunity to see Russ Dennett in five days. We had a fabulous night and the pub was rammed to capacity, much to the delight of landlord, Andrew Jarvis. Both Sheffield football clubs had vital must win games on Saturday, United travelling to relegation rivals Crewe. They were by all accounts very poor and were soundly thrashed three goals to nil. Relegation is a real threat for the Blades, and I wish them good luck in their present predicament. Wednesday hosted fellow strugglers Barnsley in a typical local derby, with three players sent off. The Owls prevailed in this important game with Chris Maguire scoring the only goal with the last kick of the game.

TRAMLINES Weekly Wit With... FESTIVAL RETURNS ALBERT
One of the UK’s biggest inner-city festivals, Tramlines, today announces the first wave of lineups for the 2014 event, which returns to Sheffield for its sixth year on Friday 25 July to Sunday 27 July. Music fans can devour an eclectic bill of talent including, The Cribs, Katy B, Toddla T Sound (full live set), The Wedding Present, Deap Vally, Gold Panda, The Gaslamp Killer, Benji B, Moxie, Jonwayne, Lewis Watson and Blessa, as Tramlines continues its mission to deliver a diverse music programme to the masses. Last year’s Tramlines saw over 95,000 people turn Sheffield into one massive festival site over three days, across four outdoor stages and throughout 50 venues, creating a feel and atmosphere that rivals any green-field festival site. The lineup included Lianne La Havas, Toddla T Sound, The Selecter, B. Traits, Theo Parrish, New Young Pony Club, Shangaan Electro, Fenech Soler, Slow Club, Jim Jones Revue, The Invisible, 2.54, Friends, Rolo Tomassi and Dutch Uncles. For Tramlines 2014, the Main Stage on Devonshire Green will reopen on the Friday night after a short hiatus in 2013, with a headline set from Mercurynominated artist Katy B. Her performance is set to feature tracks from her highly anticipated new album, Little Red, and she’ll receive support from none other than the Steel City’s Toddla T, who’ll bring his trademark bass sound with a full live show. Elsewhere on the festival site, indie-rock veterans The Wedding Present will headline The Leadmill on Friday 25, showcasing their extensive back catalogue to underline exactly why they became one of John Peel’s favourite acts, whilst Saturday night at the venue belongs to California duo Deap Vally, who take on the headline slot for an evening of garage-rock. Saturday night will see a huge electronic music takeover at University of Sheffield venues Fusion, Foundry and Octagon. For fans of experimental dance music, Octagon is the place to be with co-headline sets from critically-acclaimed electronic producer Gold Panda and LA alternative hip-hop artist The Gaslamp Killer. Radio 1’s latest ‘In New DJs We Trust’ signing Moxie will also appear as part of a massive lineup at Foundry as Tramlines continues its support for emerging artists. Sunday night will go off with a bang as Wakefield indie-band The Cribs headline the main stage, playing huge hits such as, Men’s Needs, and taster tracks from their two new albums due out this year. Other early bookings include respected Radio DJ Benji B, mysterious beat-maker Leon Vynehall, hip hop artist Jonwayne, the acoustic talents of Lewis Watson, local atmospheric pop band Blessa, and north-London rockers Shy Nature. Many more acts across a wide spectrum of sounds are to be announced over the coming weeks including the Main Stage’s Saturday night headliner. Tramlines takes over the entire city centre where hundreds of artists appear across its outdoor stages and throughout many venues including the o2 Academy, The Night Kitchen, the city’s Gothic Cathedral, Fez Club, Fusion and Foundry, The Harley, Hope Works, Millennium Galleries, Queens Social Club and Yellow Arch Studios. Advance tickets are on sale now from www.gigantic. com priced at £12 for day tickets or £28 for weekend tickets (plus 10% booking fee). A limited number of pre-sale tickets already sold out in just five days, so buying in advance is strongly advised. Tickets will be available on the weekend at festival box offices, but will be priced at more than the advance tickets. Sarah Nulty, Festival Director at Tramlines said: “We’re really excited about the lineup so far and I think fans will see just how committed we are to compiling a diverse music programme that appeals to music fans across the board. Unlike previous years, the Tramlines team is now responsible for programing lineups across all main venues, so you’re going to see even more of our music tastes in the hundreds of acts yet to be announced! “We’re thrilled to reopen the Main Stage on the Friday night. The brilliant Katy B, coupled with a live show from the city’s very own Toddla T, will kick start a party that will last all weekend. “With tickets priced at just £12 a day, it’s still such good value. We’re really excited to reveal the rest of the line-up and we’re confident that the festival will be even better than last year.” Covering the entire city centre and beyond Tramlines is a festival where new music, art and entertainment is discovered around every corner. Sheffield’s Public Plaza, Barker’s Pool, will be filled yet again with street theatre, dancers and workshops; there will be the welcome return of the Folk Forest, the Buskers Bus, and the Weston Park party - all with lineup announcements to follow. 2014 is expected to attract a greater number of fans from outside the city as it steps up another notch to become a destination event for music-lovers from across the country. The Cribs headline the Main Stage on Sunday Night
SNODGRASS
A girl came up to me and said, “I think you’re sexy.” “The feeling is mutual,” I replied. “It is?” “Yeah, I think I’m sexy too.” There were five in the bed, and the little one said “These NHS cuts are getting a bit much.” “Would you mind if I nicked some milk & sugar?” I asked my neighbour this morning. “Of course I’d mind,” he replied, “I’ve only had this security job at Tesco for two days.” “There’s a guy on the phone who says he’s Jamaican, but he sounds Scottish,” said my secretary. “That’ll be Jim Aitken,” I said. “Put him through.” Our window cleaner doesn’t half do a thorough job. Twice I’ve come home in the past month to find him cleaning the inside of our bedroom window, whilst embarrassingly my wife is still in bed. I can refute the common assumption that bachelors live off crap food. Tonight I’m having a home made Thai green curry. It used to be a chicken Korma but it’s been in the fridge for three weeks. A woman came over to me in the pub last night, “How old would you say I was handsome?” She purred. “You have the eyes of a 25 year old, the hair of an 18 year old, the legs of a 21 year old and the body of a 22 year old.” I replied. “How old then you charmer?” She giggled. I said “Hold on, Give me time to add them up.” If you get an email telling you that you can catch swine ‘flu from tins of ham then delete it. It’s spam. I was walking my dog through the park today when a warden came over and said, “There’s a £50 fine for dogs who foul the footpath.” “Well that’s not going to bother him,” I replied, pointing to my dog. “He’s never got any money.” My wife and her Weightwatchers’ group went on a trip to New York at the weekend and on the Sunday morning, they all went to Tiffany’s for breakfast. It was just like that famous film. Gone in sixty seconds.

There are 12 signs in the Chinese astrological chart, each sign is represented by an animal. Everyone is connected to a particular animal depending on the year that they were born. The animals are; rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, snake, dragon, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Each Chinese year recognises one of these creatures as dominant and in 2014 it is the turn of the horse. The horse can give us a bumpy ride as it kicks, jumps and gallops its way into our lives. There is never a dull moment in the year of the horse. On the flip side of the coin this gentle creature is extremely compassionate and will stand up for those who cannot fight for themselves. We should be generous and charitable towards those born in the year of the horse as they go out of their way to help others. Below are a few dates that represent years of the horse.

Lucky Numbers Your luucky numbers are 8 13 18 37 43 and 50. Chinese Beliefs The Chinese believe that they should not work for the first three days of the new year, any business decisions made during this time are considered unlucky. Houses are cleaned prior to the holiday, sweeping out the old and making room for the new year and good luck. The new year’s eve dinner is the most important dinner. Fish and dumplings are usually served. Dumplings are fashioned to resemble gold and silver ingots and fish is associated with prosperity. The word yu, meaning fish, sounds like the word for “abundance.” Another tradition is to wear red clothes and give children “lucky money” contained in red envelopes.

TOO OLD AND TELL US YOUR UGLY TO BE VIEWS ON NATIONAL USEFUL Tuesday 25 March, 6pm - University of Sheffield Students’ Union British Academy Debate held at The University of Sheffield Too Old and Ugly to be Useful Tuesday 25 March at 6pm University of Sheffield Students’ Union, Western Bank, Sheffield, S10 2TG Has there ever been a golden age of ageing, or is that golden age now? In the past, representations of older people in literature, art, the media and everyday life have been highly diverse; stressing their positive roles in their families and communities as much as their frailty. As the numbers of older people grows, how can we promote and celebrate their positive contribution, and challenge the pervasive negative stereotypes of later life? Chaired by Professor Mary Beard FBA Speakers include: • Professor Pat Thane (King’s College, London)- Representations of Older People, Past and Present • Dr Lorna Warren (University of Sheffield) - Media Images of Women and Ageing Discussants: • Professor Tim Parkin, Professor of Ancient History, University of Manchester • Dr Ilona Haslewood, Joseph Rowntree Foundation. Admission to this event is Free but you are required to register on the British Academy website in order to book online. http://www.britac.ac.uk/events/2014/Too_Old_ and_Ugly_to_be_Useful.cfm Information related to this message is available at http://www.britac.ac.uk/events/2014/Too_ Old_and_Ugly_to_be_Useful.cfm.

HEALTH ISSUES The NHS is 65 this year. Every day the NHS helps people stay healthy, recover from illness and live independent and fulfilling lives. If the NHS is to survive for another 65 years, it must change. We know that there are differences in the quality of care across the country. We know that occasionally the NHS fails to live up to the high expectations we have of it. We must ensure we always deliver a safe, high quality, value for money service. We must place far greater emphasis on supporting people to stay well in order to lead illness-free lives: preventing conditions developing rather than treating illnesses. We also need to do far more to support those with mental health conditions and particular communities who experience health inequalities. This is a national debate, but we are asking local people and organisations how they think we can address the issues in our area. We would very much appreciate if you could spare the time to share your thoughts about how we may be able to address these issues by completing this survey. Following a successful first year, NHS Sheffield CCG is now looking at plans for 2014-16. The NHS Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group are asking members of the public for their views on their website. Visit our survey to leave information about how you found the website and any suggestions you may have in order to improve it. For further information please see: http:// www.sheffieldccg.nhs.uk/ To complete the survey visit: https:// www.surveymonkey.com/s/ SheffieldCCGCallToAction Please note the seven questions in this survey are open ended and therefore may take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

LOCAL COMPANY ANNOUNCE LIFE-SAVING PARTNERSHIP Wallis Metals of Rotherham are delighted to announce a unique partnership with South Yorkshire Fire Service, which means that your “end-of-life” car may not end up on a scrap heap, but may instead play a major role in helping to save lives! As a DVLA licensed disposal site, Wallis Metals have for many years ensured that the environmental impact of scrapping vehicles has been minimised. As James explains “It isn’t simply a case of crushing a vehicle and melting it down. The public are mainly unaware of the exhaustive processes involved: Each vehicle must undergo detailed de-pollution by an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) before the car can be scrapped. Substances covered in this depollution include: tyres, fuels, oils, batteries, anti-freeze and pyrotechnics.” The main objectives of the directive are to: • Reduce the amount of automotive waste sent for landfill • Reduce the amount of hazardous materials in new car manufacture • Eliminate pollution risks from the car

OUR TEAM!
disposal process, such as soil and water contamination by vehicle fluids • Improve the environmental performance involved in the life cycle of vehicles Wallis Metals de-pollutes several hundred cars per year at its ATFs and works closely with the Environment Agency and have a programme of ongoing environmental quality improvement. However their new arrangement with the Fire Service means that James is now supplying end-of-life vehicles for key fire training; firefighters are using these in simulated crash and fire situations to improve their techniques in freeing trapped occupants; to increase the speed and improve techniques dealing with life-threatening blazes; and even to provide feedback to manufacturers which may lead to the design of safer cars in the future. So although it may be sad to say goodbye to a cherished car, owners can at least be assured that as a consequence of calling in the team from Wallis Metals, you may very well be helping to save lives in the future!
We are looking for a full-time and parttime sales person to join our team, selling advertising space in the Mercury. Telesales and field sales experience would be a distinct advantage.

OPEN ALL HOURS! Following on from the Home Office ruling out a blanket extension on licensing hours for England’s opening World Cup fixture, David Cameron has intervened to order a re-think! The British Beer & Pub Association amongst others had asked for extended hours on the weekend of 13th & 14th June, and also 11th & 12th July (the finals weekend) from 11.00 pm to 1.00 am, given the kick off times. However the Home Office initially rejected the application on the basis that this was not a one-off event unlike the Diamond Jubilee. As a consequence pubs would be obliged to apply individually to local councils for an extension, with the consequent costs and also a massive increase in bureaucracy and administration. However David Cameron tweeted last week
that “I have ordered a rethink on pub opening times for England’s World Cup games – will consult with pub trade, police and councils.” The Home Office confirmed shortly afterwards that they would consult with the trade, police and local councils before announcing a decision.

NEW POLL REVEALS OVER TWO THIRDS OF PEOPLE LEFT WITH RINGING IN EARS AFTER NOISY NIGHT OUT
Almost 70 per cent of people have been left with ringing in their ears or dulled hearing after a night out yet, despite the risk of damaged hearing, one in three would override the ‘safe level’ warning on their personal music player to listen to loud music, according to a poll by charity Action on Hearing Loss published to mark Tinnitus Awareness Week (3 – 9 February). One in ten people across the UK are affected by tinnitus everyday ranging from a light buzzing to a constant roar in the ears and head - which can have a detrimental effect on quality of life from problems sleeping to being able to concentrate at work. Paul Oakenfold, DJ and Record Producer, said: ‘I feel passionately about listening to music safely, and urge music lovers to wear ear defenders to gigs and avoid dangerously high volumes on personal music players. Getting decent noise-cancelling headphones also cuts down the risk of damaging your ears and suffering tinnitus caused by over exposure to loud music. No one wants that! So protect your ears whilst loving your tunes!’ The charity’s poll reveals that almost half of people (48 per cent)
listen to music for up to a third of their waking day, but worryingly nearly one in five people would not do anything differently to take any care of their hearing even when informed of the dangers. Chief Executive of Action on Hearing Loss, Paul Breckell, said: ‘Listening to loud music for a long time can trigger tinnitus and is an indication of damaged hearing. Most people have experienced tinnitus, but those who are severely affected can experience fear, anxiety and feelings of helplessness that affect their quality of life. Currently there is no cure for tinnitus; as a charity we are doing all we can to fund research into treatments, and in the mean time offer support to people who suffer.’ The poll also revealed that one in ten people do not know what tinnitus is, with some identifying it as “big ears” (3 per cent) and others “a repetitive strain injury” (4 per cent). For more information on tinnitus or how to get involved in Tinnitus Awareness Week, please visit www.actiononhearingloss/ taw or call the charity’s free tinnitus information line on 0808 808 0123 and textphone 0808 808 9000.

Radio Nightingale broadcasts round the clock to provide entertainment for the patients of the Rotherham General Hospital. An admission to hospital can be a disorientating and isolating experience as every day is the same and time becomes elongated as normal routines are broken. With the comfort provided by Radio Nightingale many patients report being better able to relax and take the rest they need to support their recovery. Radio Nightingale is run by volunteers and the whole cost of running the station must be covered by fundraising activities to keep the service on the air to the patients of the Rotherham General Hospital. It’s support from the public that keeps the station going not only financially but also in appreciation. It’s not very often that people take the time to write or ring in to tell us how they’ve found Radio Nightingale, so it’s always very pleasing to hear from listeners who do spare that few moments. Feedback from the patients listening to Radio Nightingale is really important to help us develop our schedule to provide the right kind of programmes at the right times. So if you have any comments on the programmes you’ve heard on Radio Nightingale, please do get in touch. You can write, phone or email. Or like us on Facebook at facebook.com/radionightingale. Radio Nightingale broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the patients and staff of the Rotherham General Hospital on 945 &1350mw, Hospedia and online.

looking committee. ‘Seaside Rendezvous’ with their adult humour, appeared recently and were as usual, hugely successful. The Sheffield Lane WMC is another of our haunts. They feature live groups every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The ‘Bernadette Wilde Band’ featured on Friday 31st Jan and were absolutely superb, boy can that girl sing! All my favourite ‘Fleetwood Mac’ and ‘Journey’ hits were sung brilliantly. I have yet to see a bad act at this club, no wonder it is always packed. I personally have nothing against duos, there are some good ones around, but some clubs seem to use them as an economy forgetting that the bulk of their membership, are ageing rockers (i’m one) who appreciate live groups. For me, The Mercury provides a full list of entertainment in the region. Plus I always have a laugh at “Snodgrass” and a read of my favourite journalist, Howard Copley, who tells it like it is. Keep up the good work, Wise Owl.
SLOW HAND IS BACK MAGIC AM by Trevor Thomas
I was excited to read that one of the world’s greatest ever guitar heroes has announced two new concert dates, including one right here in our region! Yes, tickets have gone on sale to see Eric Clapton at the First Direct Arena on Sunday June 22nd, and it’s going to be a show featuring his many varied works and distinctive playing. Having gone back in the studio to release ‘Old sock’, his first new album in some time last year featuring favourites spanning the time from his childhood to the present day, it’s sure to be an amazing concert. He’s featured on so many of his own and other people’s and band’s albums and songs through the last 5 decades, there’s going to be one heck of a back catalogue to choose from. Eric is the only person to be inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame three times – as a member of the Yardbirds, as a member of Cream and as a solo star. The opening bars of ‘Layla’ for one (released under the name Derek and the Dominoes) have to make it one of the most instantly recognisable riffs ever. Clapton has of course picked up many an additional award for his outstanding place in music too – OBE, CBE, Grammy lifetime achievement and, very movingly, Record Of the Year for Tears in Heaven in the 90s, written after the pain and loss following the death of his 4 year old son Conor, who fell from a New York apartment window. If you would like to pick up tickets to see the show, just see more on our website at magicam.co.uk and tune in for chances to win as well. I’ll catch you back for my Breakfast Show on Saturday morning. Hope you can join me then.
CAMPAIGNING FOR REAL ALE CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK by Ruth Cherrington
An organisation whose work supports not only pubs but indirectly clubs as well is CAMRA. It was set up over 40 years ago, 1971, in the West of Ireland by a group of four men who were concerned about the direction in which the British brewing industry was heading. During the late 1960s and early 70s, it appeared to be moving away from producing traditional and ‘flavoursome’ beers that were fermented in casks. Standardisation of beer seemed to be becoming the norm. Foreign lagers were making increasing inroads into pubs and clubs and it was feared that ‘real ale’ would eventually be a thing of the past, with less choice for the discerning drinker. The idea quickly caught on that some sort of campaign was needed and CAMRA started off as an independent, voluntary organisation- in some ways similar to how clubs began. From very small scale, it quickly gained attention and expanded with several thousand members signed up in the first few years. Again, like the club movement, it attracted people who felt there should be some choice about what is available in leisure time, but with CAMRA it was specifically about what is behind the bar. In 1972, the first issue of What’s Brewing was published which became a popular read. In 1977, the Great British Beer festival was organised at Alexandra Palace in London: the event has been held many times since. CAMRA began to have some influence with not only the public taking notice but the breweries and MPs as well. As it expanded, local regions were set up so there could be regular meetings for members in different parts of the country. In fact, the organisation has gone global! Let’s be clear that it’s not just about ales and specialist beers with odd-sounding names. It’s about choice and relates to an important of part of the UK’s cultural and social life. CAMRA recognises and promotes well-run pubs as being at the centre of community life. Its supporters see the critical social role that pubs play and some also include clubs in that viewwhich is the way it should be. Whilst the CAMRA website has no specific mention of clubs, some members and local branches do have close links with clubs. It is good when a club can offer different beers, to offer a choice and perhaps more could be done in this respect.

Words by KT Evans
And so they return…Sheffield’s proudest patriots and true Yorkshire men, Reverend And The Makers are to make their triumphant comeback with the release of their brand new album, ‘Thirty Two.’ With a release date of February 2014, we catch up with front man Jon Mcclure to pick his brains about Northern Pride, house parties and the most anticipated record of the new year… Q: So firstly I want to talk about your album, ‘Thirty Two.’ What have fans got to look forward to on the album? It’s cool to be 32! It feels amazing, I’ve made a living out of making music- I don’t have to try and impress anyone. I can say what I want, do what I want. The album is an honest real thing. The worst music is music that is fake. We’re Northern music, we’re from Sheffield and we’re so proud of that. I’ve got to stay here, it’s who I am and what I am! Q: How is it similar or different to your previous album @Reverend_Makers? It’s similar in the fact that we had a right good laugh making it. In honesty, I never stopped writing. It only took a year for us because we had so much music already written and wanted to release. The album isn’t trying to prove anything, I just really enjoy writing tunes. It’s full of tunes and we had a laugh with it. What is so important to remember that all that is left is your CD at the end of the day, if it puts you in a good mood then that’s what it’s all about. One day, there will always be a reckoning…I always keep that in my mind. Q: How was the writing and recording process of the album? It’s a myth that the 1st album is the best. I feel like we’re getting better and better. I would stop if I didn’t think that. Put it this way, I’d much rather hae 10,000 people loving us as oppose to 10 million people who liked us. Pride and passion is so important and I feel we’ve really got that through in the album. It’s much better than being down the pit anyway, I’m actually earning a living and doing something I really love and it turns out that is making music. I feel like I’ve got a duty to enjoy myself you know. I can say what I want, I feel free, liberated. You can really hear that on the album. Q: Let’s talk a bit about the promo you’ve been doing on the album which includes free shows at fans houses. Where did is idea come from? We’ve got 32 gigs in 32 houses across the country. We put it on twitter so we could connect with our
fans, I think that’s so important. It’s amazing, there’s been people crowd surfing, some dude asked me to marry him! Music can be so stale, a lot of the time it’s just nothing special. It’s just a product. I like to do random shit, these fan shows just emphasise how much we love doing things differently. It’s about communicating something deep and meaningful. Word of mouth is an incredible thing, you know my tickets sell! I had a right laugh! Q: Let’s talk about your upcoming shows. You’re playing some awesome venues across the country, but how will they compare to your show you’ve got lined up in Sheffield? People in Sheffield are amazing. They always show us support and we’re so blown away by it all the time. We have a great connection all over though – Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester are all brilliant. The only thing for Sheffield is that it’s a but exhausting, a little bit like a marriage – all my aunties and uncles come to the shows so it’s pretty much a family reunion! We have a great vibe all over the country though. I like the Leadmill and Plug, they’re great venues in Sheffield. Q: Would you ever move out of Sheffield? The great thing about Sheffield is that it’s like a family. I walk down the street and nobody bothers me at all. It’s so warm and friendly. I don’t want to compete with people in London, I don’t want to be competing in a race when there’s no finish line. I’m the geezer who wears the same jumper for 10 years then it comes back into fashion and I’m wearing this tatty thing which I’ve had on your years. Sheffield is so important for music and it really inspired us on the album. I’m an honest guy, I wrote honest music and I live in an honest place. I believe in rock ‘n’ roll. I believe in the magical powers of music! Reverend And The Makers are performing at Sheffield’s 02 Academy on 7th March 2014. Check out www.twitter.com/reverend_makers and join in the conversation!
YOUTH MUSIC THEATRE Youth Music Theatre UK (YMT) this weeks launches a nationwide search for the best actors, singers, dancers, musicians and back stage crew to join their company in 2014. From today, aspiring young performers, aged 11-21, can book their place for YMT’s 2014 Workshop & Audition Tour online at www.youthmusictheatreuk.org/auditions YMT will be auditioning in 24 cities nationwide and will be coming to Sheffield on Sunday 9 February with sessions running at The Montgomery from 10.30-13.15 and 14.00-16.45. Youth Music Theatre UK is the country’s national music theatre company for young people aged 11-21, offering top quality training and mentoring and a proven way for young people to enter the creative industries – whether as a performer, musician, stagehand or administrator. YMT, as one of eight National Youth Music Organisations, is supported and recognised by Arts Council England and the Department for Education. Successful auditionees will work with some of the UK’s leading professional directors, composers and choreographers to stage full scale productions at some of the country’s most respected theatres and arts festivals. They’ll get the chance to learn new skills, make friends and take their first steps in a career in the performing arts. And participants in YMT musicals will be awarded with Trinity College’s Grade 8 certificates in Musical Theatre! One current YMT-er is Sheffield’s Louise Webster, who this year starred in the acclaimed production of Lindsay Kemp’s Variete at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, London. Louise says, “YMT has not only deepened my love for performing, but also for the people I share the stage with. Be prepared for lifelong friends and a whole lot of laughter; auditioning will be the best decision you’ll ever make!”
YMT graduates have gone on to make their mark in the performing arts – in West End musicals, on TV and even in Hollywood blockbusters! Local young people can follow in the footsteps of their recent graduates including Ed Sheeran, The King’s Speech Star Freya Wilson, Sam Smith, whose number 1 single with Naughty Boy,‘La La La’, is one of the biggest selling songs of the year, Fresh Meat’s Charlotte Ritchie and Pop Stars Jetta and Tich. And YMT have a great track record of producing hit shows – their 2008 show Loserville recently played in the West End of London, starring Eastenders’ Aaron Sidwell and Lil Chris and was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best New Musical. 2014 Productions will include the world premiere of Ali and Nino, based on the best-selling novel, Terry Pratchett’s Soul Music at the Rose Theatre in Kingston and Lindsay Kemp’s extraordinary Variété at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Auditions take the form of a Musical Theatre workshop and this is a rare chance to be tutored by some of the leading players in British Theatre. There will be a two and a half hour session of dance/drama/singing workshops led by a professional director, choreographer and musical director. It is definitely not the sort of scary audition you might have seen on TV talent shows – the team will lead a series of practical and fun activities to help make the most of the auditionees time, and to allow them to show the team exactly what their skills are. After all the auditions have taken place, YMT allocate the most talented performers into one of eight new productions they’ll be putting on across the UK. Around 250 young people are selected and everyone will hear before the end of March 2014. So don’t miss your chance to be part of one of our fantastic productions next Summer. www.youthmusictheatreuk.org
It’s shaping up to be a big summer for Leeds Festival who this week announced our very own Arctic Monkeys as headliners, having already announced Blink-182 in their only UK shows of 2014, as well as Jake Bugg, Disclosure, Metronomy, Of Mice & Men, Wilkinson and I Am Legion. The Arctic Monkeys who will be performing an exclusive Festival headline set in England and Wales were also joined on the Courteeners, The 1975, You Me At Six, SBTRKT, Warpaint, Netsky, Annie Mac, and Royal Blood in the latest line-up announcement. Reading & Leeds are thrilled to welcome global superstars and bonafide rock heroes Arctic Monkeys back to headline the Festivals this summer. Nominated for ‘Best British Band’ at the upcoming BRIT Awards and ‘Best Live Band’ at the NME Awards, they need no introduction to the Reading & Leeds audience. First performing on one of the smaller stages in 2005 prior to the release of their debut album ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’, they took their rightful place on the Main Stage in 2006, returning to headline the Festivals with an electrifying set in 2009. Voted as NME’s ‘Album of The Year’ in 2013, ‘AM’ saw the band return more confident than ever, with hits including debut single and instant classic ‘Do I Wanna Know?’, ‘Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High’ and ‘R U Mine?’. One if the most important bands of our time, and with Zane Lowe citing the band as ‘the last defining moment in rock and roll’, this summer the Arctic Monkeys return to Reading & Leeds for an unmissable exclusive Festival headline set in England and Wales. Speaking about Reading & Leeds, Matt Helders said: “We’ve got a lot of history with the festival. It’s the first festival I ever went to – we all went together as
25
kids, with Nick as well. We were 15 or 16 and it was a big deal going to a festival like that on your own”. After announcing a brief hiatus back in December, Manchester’s Courteeners will be heading to this year’s Reading & Leeds for an exclusive festival performance in England and Wales. Having first burst onto the scene with 2007’s ‘St Jude’, last year saw the band release their third Top Ten album ‘ANNA’ to their devoted throng of fans, as well as selling over 100,000 tickets. Their Reading & Leeds performances in 2009 and 2012 were highlights, with the crowd going mad for hits including ‘Not Nineteen Forever’ and ‘Lose Control’, and festival goers can expect even more from their sets this year. One of the breakout acts of 2013, The 1975 will return to this year's Reading & Leeds Festivals. Following their huge success last year with a string of hits - ‘Chocolate’ voted ‘Number One Hottest Record of 2013’ by BBC Radio 1 listeners, ‘The City’, ‘Sex’ and ‘Girls’ - and a Number One debut album, the band are set to continue their ascendancy throughout 2014. Having sold out every UK gig put on sale to date, The 1975 will be a firm favourite on the bill this summer. The band comment: "We grew up going to Reading & Leeds Festival. It's so humbling knowing we are going to play such a prestigious slot there this year. Cannot wait! With sold out crowds at both Reading & Leeds Festivals in 2013, fans are urged to get tickets early for 2014. Now securing your ticket is even easier with the improved £50 deposit scheme.

angler’s corner
by Clint Walker
I’ve not had chance to get out fishing this week which is unusual, but the weather and other dilemmas have certainly been against me, so instead I thought I’d give a little insight into some fantastic lures I’ve been using. As I’m lucky enough to work with Japanese bait giant Marukyu, this also gives me access to some fantastic lures from sister company Ecogear who produce a comprehensive range of lures and accessories for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. Despite only using them over the last twelve months, I’ve been impressed with the durability of the hard lures and the flexibility and resilience of the soft plastics which will withstand multiple hits without disintegrating as some others have a tendency to. Each hard bodied lure is fitted with top quality fixing points and super sharp hooks so you can be confident of converting your bites into fish, and the soft lures have several exciting features which make them stand out from the rest. But what makes Ecogear special? Well, how many lures do you know of which are also impregnated with feed inducing attractors? Or a product range which glows in the dark? Ecogear offer all that and more! There are simply too many Ecogear products to describe each individually, but the ones I have favoured so far include the Paramax, BTS, Grass Minnow M and a selection of surface poppers and subsurface hard lures which have all caught fish in a variety of situations including coloured water.

With the countdown to the Festival ongoing (5 weeks to go!) this weekend’s Channel 4 racing may provide further clues for some of the big races at the world’s premier jump racing meeting in March. Saturday’s Channel 4 coverage comes from Newbury and Warwick – four races from Newbury and two from Warwick.

(2007) and Jonjo O’Neill won with Get Me Out of Here in 2010.In such a competitive event it is difficult to be dogmatic about the chances of any candidate but the one that looks very interesting to me, and possibly worth a speculative punt at the likely price, is John Quinn’s Recession Proof. He has had only 6 races since winning here is 2011 and is back to exactly the same terms as when winning that year, carrying 10st 8lbs, off a mark of 134, and back on soft going. What’s not to like? That year he recorded the best speed rating of these and may have been set up for a repeat attempt. There are many that appeal as reserves however, notably (in order of preference): Melodic Rendezvous; Rolling Star; Far West; Vendor; Jumps Road; Gibb River; Snake Eyes; Irving; Prompter; Montbazon; and Chris Pea Green.
Apart from the Irish meetings there are not too many left now that are likely to see some of the main protagonists at Cheltenham on show before the big event. However, the Betfair Hurdle is sometimes a pointer to some of the handicap hurdle races at Cheltenham and occasionally to some of the championship ones. The Kingmaker Novice Chase at Warwick has also thrown up leading contenders for Cheltenham in the past and The Game Spirit is usually a race to take Warwick: 2.05 OLBG.com Mares’ Hurdle, Listed, 4yo+, note of. 2m 5f: Newbury: Glens Melody should again be able to account 1.50 Read Nicholls and McCain exclusively for Mischievous Milly and Hidden Identity on Betfair Handicap Hurdle, 4yo+, 0-145, 3m but more potent threats could emerge from 110yds: The ones that appeal most here are Lie Forrit, Une Artiste and She Ranks Me.

ROVERS NOW UNBEATEN IN FOUR A fine but cold afternoon with a strong wind blowing down the pitch was the setting for the game against visitors from the NorthEast, Middlesbrough, who have won four of their last five visits to Doncaster, Rovers winning just once. Rovers made one change from Tuesday, with Sam Johnstone coming in on loan from Manchester United to replace Ross Turnbull, who was struggling from a calf strain. Although Middlesbrough kicked off it was Rovers who were soon on the attack to win a corner in the second minute. This was cleared but two minutes later Keegan shot over the bar from 25 yards. Duffy then crossed from the left for Coppinger to back-head across the face of goal and out at the far post. Rovers continued to have the better of the possession, with the visitors making only an occasional foray into the Rovers half. In the 22nd minute a right foot cross from Duffy was beaten away by Given at the near post. Then Wellens, on the Rovers right, passed inside to Sharp, who laid off to Brown to shoot from 20yards but Given saved comfortably. On the half hour, following a free kick from Husband, the ball came out of the Middlesbrough defence to Wellens, who fired wide of the far post from 25yards. Middlesbrough gradually got into the game and won a corner in the 38th minute but it was cleared. At the other end a couple of corners to Rovers came to nothing. It had been a very pedestrian first half, mostly played out in midfield and possibly marred by a strong wind blowing from the North Stand end. The referee, Mr Davies, was taken ill at half time and was replaced by the 4th official, Mr Mark Brown. Rovers made a substitution for the second half, Dean Furman replacing Keegan. Rovers got the second half underway and were straight on to the attack but didn’t trouble Given in the Middlesbrough goal. In the 53rd minute Carayol got away down the Middlesbrough left and shot from the edge of the penalty area, the ball going wide of the far post. This spurred the visitors into action and they began their best spell of the game, with Leadbitter crossing from the right in the 59th minute for Main to get in a header at the far post but Johnstone saved easily. Straight to the other end where Duffy crossed low to the middle from the right by-line but Brown, stretching full length, put the ball high over the bar from 2yards. However, Rovers were now on the back-foot as Middlesbrough applied the pressure. A couple of substitutions by Middlesbrough added more firepower and minutes later Graham put a tame shot well wide of the far post. Rovers managed to contain the visitors and as the last ten minutes came up they began to hit

back with a trio of corners but nothing came from them. Omeru, for the visitors, got down their left before shooting from the left side of penalty area but putting wide of the far post. Rovers attacked to the final whistle which came after a corner kick from Cotterill was cleared off the line at the far post from Brown, who tried to force the ball over the goal-line.

LATE WINNER DESERVED SAYS EVANS Rotherham United manager Steve Evans praised both teams after seeing his side claim victory in dramatic fashion against Leyton Orient at New York Stadium this afternoon. The Millers were pegged back when Moses Odubajo cancelled out Wes Thomas’ opener, but a stunning late goal by Alex Revell was enough to seal the points for the home side. “I thought it was a good performance from two good teams,” Steve Evans said after the game. “The match became really end-to-end, they’ve had a penalty appeal, we’ve had a penalty appeal, they’ve had one off the line, we’ve had one off the line, and in games like that it’s always going to take something special to win it. “I thought in the first-half we were possibly unlucky not to be 3-0 up, but I told our players to be prepared for the second half because they have pride and they wouldn’t lie-down. They got a goal on the break we probably should have done better with but we didn’t give in, we were the team pressing to win it and you only needed to see the reaction of the fans when it went in to see what it meant.” Revell was the hero of the hour on Tuesday evening when his brace proved decisive at Prenton Park, and today was no different, with the gaffer praising the hard work on the training ground and the contribution from loanee Richard Smallwood. “Richie Smallwood did remarkably well in the lead up to the game which you’ll see tonight on the television but Revs has done well. We were delighted for him in midweek and were even more delighted when it turned out to be the winner today. The big fella has been working extremely hard, as they all have, but we’ll go back on the training ground on Monday and work again.”

County Senior League Well, without sounding like a broken record, February has brought much of the same weather wise to what was experienced in January. The bad weather yet again decimated a busy fixture list on Saturday. This time no less than 19 fixtures were postponed due to waterlogged pitches. Premier Division In the Premier Division only one fixture survived the rain; a mid-table tie between Athersley Recreation Reserves and Frecheville at Sheerien Park. The result in the end was as expected, with a 1-1 draw meaning the spoils were shared. Frecheville will be the most happy of the two teams, as the point is their first since 14th December (three games ago). Division One Division One saw most of the play on Saturday, with four of the six scheduled games going ahead. Penistone Church Reserves stood-out the most, with a 3-1 home win over Thorpe Hesley. It was their fifth win in six league games, and takes them into second place in the table, only six points off Joker FC’s lead with a game spare. Jubilee Sports were also big winners, beating Sheffield Bankers 4-0 at Chaucer School. Matt Turner starred for Jubilee scoring twice, with Danny Barnsley and Sam Pickstone also
MILSOM OUT WITH SLIGHT THIGH STRAIN Midfielder Robert Milsom missed the 2-1 victory over Leyton Orient because of a thigh strain. The former Aberdeen man was forced to look on from the stands as Alex Revell struck an injury time winner for the Millers. However, boss Steve Evans revealed after the game that the injury to Milsom isn’t expected to be serious. “Rob picked up a little thigh strain at Tranmere on Tuesday night which we knew about, and he came off at Tranmere for that reason,” Evans told Millers Player. “It was something we didn’t really want to publicise.” Milsom’s place went to Richie Smallwood who pipped Michael O’Connor who was running late after his car suffered a puncture on the way to the stadium. “Today we had a 50/50 call right up until 1pm when the only thing we had to decide about the team was whether Richie Smallwood or Michael O’Connor would start,” added Evans.

on target for Jubilee. The win allows Jubilee climb into fourth place, only two points behind the aforementioned Penistone with two games in hand. Also on 28 points are Thorncliffe, following an impressive 3-0 away win over Hallam Reserves. Scott Hartley scored twice for Millmoor Juniors Reserves, as they ended Sheffield Athletic’s recent run of good form, beating them 4-2 at Warminster Road. Sheffield had gone into with 13 points from their last 5 games and were unbeaten in the league since November. Millmoor remain in a comfortable mid-table position. Division Two Worsbrough Bridge Athletic climbed off the bottom of the Division Two with an outstanding 8-1 home win over mid-table Boynton Sports. The game was Worsbrough’s first of the New Year, due to the recent bad weather and they will hope the new year can bring a change of form, when they travel to high-flying Bawtry Town next week. Meadowhall League Only two games were played on Sunday in the Meadowhall League. In the Premier Division, Handsworth Turf Tavern saw-off Sharrow United 6-2 at Warminster Road. It is Handsworth’s fifth win in their last six league games and takes them into fourth position in the table. In Division Two, Sharrow United’s U21 side drew 3-3 at home with Crosspool U21. The draw ends a run of three straight league defeats for Sharrow.

BLADES LOSE OUT BY THREE AT CREWE MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk
Two goals in the eight minutes at the end of the first half decided this encounter between two teams at the wrong end of the Sky Bet League One table. Unfortunately, Chuks Aneke netted both as Crewe moved further away from the Blades. In injury-time substitute Byron Moore added a third. In miserable conditions, the Blades failed to seriously trouble Alex goalkeeper Ben Garratt, suffering a third consecutive league defeat on the road. Scougall made his first start in a Blades shirt as boss Clough opted for two changes, Paynter was also recalled. Porter dropped to the bench and Doyle started a three match ban. Harris, who completed a permanent move to United late on Friday night, was on the bench and joined by young midfielder Whitehouse. It was soon clear that the biggest early threat would be posed by the swirling wind, although the rain had stopped in Cheshire at kick-off. Hill cleared when Leitch-Smith looked in a dangerous position and the home fans were disappointed with a few early decisions - as were the Unitedites when Paynter looked to have been eased away from a cross as he went for a header in the box. The only half-chances of note for the visitors in the opening half hour both dropped to Scougall but his first effort was from distance and his second was blocked. Crewe fired a couple of warning shots as they had a spell on top. Collins was
forced to block from a Leitch-Smith shot and Long had to collect a Pogba cross from under the crossbar before the home side took the lead on 37 minutes. Just before the rain joined the wind in making conditions more difficult, ANEKE held off Coady and just before Maguire’s tackle arrived, the striker curled into the bottom corner from the edge of the box. Paynter prevented Davis from seeing the ball out as the Blades looked to hit back but the striker’s cross for Baxter was cut out and on the stroke of half-time the visitors were hit by another blow. Despite one of his assistants being ten yards away and not indicating a foul, referee Sarginson penalised Hill for obstruction and from Leitch-Smith’s freekick, the Blades could only clear as far as the edge of the box and ANEKE drilled into the opposite corner from where he scored his first. There was a renewed vigour about United at the start of the second half and Crewe were planted on the back foot. Scougall thought he had been fouled in the box when he was about to shoot moments after the restart and then Coady almost turned in Baxter’s cross on 50 minutes. Crewe remained a threat, though. From a Tootle run, Leitch-Smith’s shot was blocked by Brayford after Aneke rounded Long and Pogba turned Inman’s cross just around the post. With the initial second half onslaught not heralding a goal, boss Clough made
a double change on 62 minutes with Harris and McGinn taking over from Murphy and Flynn - the changes also saw the Blades switch to three at the back. As United adapted, Pogba’s effort was smothered by Long and Inman curled wide before Clough used his last change, Porter replacing Paynter. Porter had two quick opportunities to make an impact, however, he was unable to get on the end of a Harris cross from the left, whilst from a Brayford delivery he headed wide on 74 minutes. Aneke cleared from under his own crossbar as Crewe were again put on the back foot late on - another corner saw Maguire head wide. However, the remaining minutes, plus an extra four for injury-time, could not produce a goal and deep into injury-time, the home side added a third - MOORE turning the ball home after Long parried Inman’s shot. Crewe: Garratt, Tootle, Davis, Ellis, Pogba (Ikpeazu 87), Leitch-Smith (Moore 76), Inman, Guthrie, Evans, Aneke, Grant. Unused: Phillips, Mellor, Dugdale, Osman, Water. Blades: Long, Brayford, Maguire, Hill, Flynn (McGinn 62), Baxter, Collins, Coady, Paynter (Porter 68), Scougall, Murphy (Harris 62). Unused: Howard, Miller, Whitehouse, Kennedy
NO EXCUSES MANAGERʼS VIEW www.sufc.co.uk
Nigel Clough offered no excuses after the Blades slipped to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Crewe Alexandra at Gresty Road. Two goals in eight minutes at the end of the first-half from Chuks Aneke made United pay for a lacklustre display in Cheshire and Byron Moore’s strike deep into stoppage-time cap a miserable afternoon for the Blades. Speaking afterwards, Clough was brutally honest in his assessment of events: “We are at a loss to where that performance came from, especially on the back of such a positive effort against Fulham. We are unbelievably disappointed to say the least. “In the first-half, in difficult conditions, all you want to see is everyone doing the basics of their jobs properly, but it just didn’t happen. “We didn’t deserve anything and the goals we have conceded are disappointing. The first one is a bit of deflection, but overall we didn’t see enough from anyone on the day. “In the second-half we had a go and if we had got a goal who knows what might happen, but you can’t produce nothing in the first-half and expect to get anything from the game. “When you are pressing for a way back into the game you are always going to be vulnerable defensively and ultimately we conceded a third in injury-time, but the game was as good as over by that point.”

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2 13-14 OWLS LEAVE IT LATE WITH MAGUIRE STRIKE MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk It was late but it was great at Hillsborough as Chris Maguire’s goal deep into added time saw Wednesday take the honours in the South Yorkshire derby. Nine-man Barnsley almost held out to the last but the in-form Maguire picked up possession in the 97th minute and drilled a low shot that nested into the Kop net to post three massive Championship points in a lively 1-0 win. The game had earlier seen referee Andre Marriner issue three red cards. Making his debut for the Reds, Emmanuel Frimpong picked a yellow card early in the game that was upgraded to red on the half hour mark. Wednesday went on to boss possession but were reduced to ten men in the 80th minute when Jermaine Johnson picked up a straight red for a dangerous challenge on Brek Shea. Jacob Mellis was then dismissed
for a lunging tackle on Jacques Maghoma but the best of the action was to come. In a dramatic twist, Maguire hit the back of the net in added time to settle a hugely entertaining derby. The Reds went into the game five points adrift in the relegation zone and in desperate need of a result with just one win in nine prior to the S6 meeting. Wednesday, though, had remained undefeated during that same period and started the game positively. Maguire fizzed an early teasing cross in the middle that only just evaded the outstretched leg of Miguel Llera at the back stick. Debut man Benik Afobe then saw his header deflected wide for a corner from a dangerous Kieran Lee centre as all the early pressure came from the hosts. On the 17-minute mark, Hull loanee Nick Proschwitz had two bites at the cherry from a Mellis corner, with Jose Semedo clearing his first volley off the line, before Kirkland reacted quickly to save the rebound. There was drama on the half-hour when Reds debutant Frimpong was sent off for a second bookable offence – a knock-on effect of which was the sacrifice of ex-Owl Chris O’Grady, who was replaced by midfielder Stephen Dawson. The pressure from that point came from the Owls as Atdhe Nuhiu sent a powerful header over the bar and Maghoma saw his fierce effort well blocked in added time. But Barnsley proved they were still
a threat with a late break at the end of added time, as Dale Jennings’ drive from 18 yards was parried wide by Kirkland. Throughout the opening 15 minutes of the second half, Barnsley were defending in numbers rigidly with the Owls asking all the question but unable to find the breakthrough. A dangerous corner from Maguire saw Jack Hunt head against his own upright in an attempt to clear before Luke Steele made a good stop at full stretch from a looping Lee effort. There was a sense it was not going to be Wednesday’s day as Barnsley’s resistance in the final third prevented the home side creating anything clear cut. Then, with ten minutes left on the clock, the game took a huge twist when Jermaine Johnson was issued with a straight red card for a high challenge on Shea. It was all action in the dying minutes as a Maguire freekick took a wicked a deflection off Jim O’Brien and landed just wide of the mark. Mellis was then given his marching orders for a reckless tackle on Maghoma before the Owls sealed the most dramatic of wins. The ball fell for Maguire 25 yards from goal and the Scot let fly with a low drive that beat Steele in the Kop net to send Hillsborough wild – as Stuart Gray’s men go marching on, now ten unbeaten.

A HUGE OWLS LIFT
FIXTURES 2013/14
SWFC NEWS www.swfc.co.uk
Chris Maguire has described his match-winning moment on Saturday as a huge lift for everyone associated with Sheffield Wednesday. Deep into added time Maguire came up with the goods to fire Wednesday into a 1-0 lead with no time left for Barnsley to respond. The goal was the Scot’s fifth in eight games and the in-form striker said: “It’s a great feeling to score right at the end. With the way the game was going, it looked as though it would be a draw so it’s a huge lift for everybody. “You look at the scoreboard and know time is running out but I think they tired going down to nine men and it gave us the opportunity to get the ball at the edge of their box. “As semedo gave it to me there was only one thing that was on my mind and that was to get the strike away and thankfully it went in.”The win has lifted the Owls to 17th in the Championship – now six points from danger – with the victory over the Reds seeing Wednesday’s unbeaten run stretch to ten games. Maguire added: “I’m pleased for myself because it’s another goal but more importantly I’m pleased for the team because it has given us a huge lift in the league. “At the moment I’m really enjoying my football. “A lot of that is down to Stuart. He’s got the job and given me a chance. I worked with him at Portsmouth and he knows what I can do and I’m really grateful to him. “I’m playing full of confidence and a lot of it is down to him.”
