NEW SHEFFIELD MARKET BACK ON TRACK Local people in Shefﬁeld can look forward to a brand new market on the Moor by the end of 2013. The project will provide the people of Shefﬁeld and the region with a state of the art new Indoor Market and eight new shops fronting The Moor, in a much more accessible and central location than the existing Castle Markets. The Council has been tirelessly working to bring forward the new Market after the development stalled last year. The project was delayed last year when changes to European rules required a

rethink on how the longawaited replacement for Castle Markets was to be procured. Sheffield’s new Indoor Market is back on track following successful negotiations with long leaseholders of the Moor Estate, Scottish Widows Investment Partnership Property Trust (SWIPPT). A new deal with SWIPPT has been hammered out and is due to be approved by the City Council’s Cabinet on 23rd March. Councillor Paul Scriven, Leader of Sheffield City Council said: “The new Sheffield Market is a key

piece of the retail jigsaw. This announcement is a crucial step forward for the city and its conﬁdence. “The delay has been very frustrating for all parties, particularly the traders and local shoppers, but the deal now on the table offers a more comprehensive approach to the Moor which will have greater impact. We are very pleased with the new energy SWIPPT is now bringing to the Moor. “The bottom of the Moor has already seen a real transformation with the new public realm and the presence of the Wild

Domestic & Commercial Flooring

Planet Exhibition has helped with more visitors in the interim. Now we can move forward and bring the people of Shefﬁeld the market they want and rightly deserve.” The new deal keeps the layout and location of the market building and up to eight shop units as before. The Council will grant SWIPPT a new extended lease for the Moor estate and in return they will provide the site for the markets, build the shops at their own cost, fund an upgrade of the Upper Moor streetscape to match that already completed

on the Lower Moor and commit to enhanced management of the street. The Council will fund the new markets from its own resources and a public borrowing loan. The main differences are that the Council will now take on architects and contractors directly to design and construct the markets and street improvements, and the upgrading of the Upper Moor will be carried out in a similar time-period as the new markets and shops, with the objective of a completely transformed Moor by the

time the new markets and shops open in 2013. Agents for SWIPPT have also indicated that they intend to bring forward new proposals for the redevelopment of the remaining vacant shops on the Moor in the next few months, adding to the transformational effect. A new Planning application will also be submitted for the markets and shops scheme to allow some of the shops to go up to three stories. No changes are proposed to the market design.

COPLEYʼS COLUMN

I have had a Facebook account or quite some time now, and use it sensibly, keeping in touch with friends and exchanging the odd bit of football banter with the Blades fans which is always good-humoured. However, this week, I have felt honour bound to get involved with a slanderous malicious posting directed against a couple for whom I have a lot of affection and more worryingly involving their children. To protect the children, I am not prepared to name the personnel in this unsavoury business, but as a result of my intervention, I am pleased to say that the couple have received tremendous support on Facebook, and I just hope that the person responsible for posting it in the first place has learned the lesson that Facebook is not to be used as a vehicle for this type of hurtful outbursts. My message in all this is to use Facebook sensibly and keep it nice and, from my perspective, humorous. As I am probably in the twilight of my life, I am alarmed with how time flies. Talking to top disc jockey and eternal Blade, Gary Sinclair, about football of course, I was amazed to learn that this week is the anniversary of his life threatening stroke. It certainly doesn’t seem to be a year ago that Gary was fighting for his life. I am happy to report that he is now back fighting fit and as he is a close pal, I find myself quite sympathetic towards him with regard to his football allegiance to Sheffield United. I have resolved to stop the banter towards the Blades until next season when excitingly they will be in the same division as my beloved Owls. I have a lot of close friends who follow United, and know how gutted they must all feel about the terrible state of their team. Last season, when Wednesday were relegated, I was absolutely gutted and got great comfort from my true and genuine friends who sent me many messages of condolence. The odd gloating comments I received were treated with the contempt they deserved, and I reasoned that anybody who could derive pleasure from

another man’s misery was never a friend in the first place. For them, there were only two, and only them, I am deliriously happy that you now know the misery of relegation (when it inevitably arrives) and for the rest of you loyal Blades fans, I am really sorry for you and know how you must be feeling and hope that next season brings you everything you deserve for continuing your support of your team. The disgusting behaviour of Wayne Rooney defies logic. This is an extremely wealthy man, very well paid for doing something he clearly loves, yet he does not have the decency to appreciate that he is hero worshipped by most of the young boys in the country, and as such is a role model, yet cannot behave in a proper manner. His expletives into the television cameras were an absolute disgrace and I was pleased to see that the FA did not bottle it and gave him a two match ban. He has subsequently been dropped from a television show and an advertising contract. However, he is presumably so wealthy, that this hardly punishes him for his loutish behaviour. This year’s Grand National was won by Ballabriggs, trained by Donald McCain, who is the son of Ginger McCain who of course was the successful trainer of Red Rum. This most famous of all steeplechases was however marred by the serious injury to jockey Peter Toole and the death of two horses, which will inevitably provoke the animal welfare groups into action, and I tend to support them. Three horses in total died at this year’s Aintree meeting, four were killed last year and five the year before. Since the year 2000, thirty three horses have died at the Aintree spring festival, making me think that this is too dangerous, and something has to be done, presumably lowering the height of the fences. The final round of the Masters at Augusta was the best and most exciting golf ever, worth every penny of my Sky subscription. Charl Schwartzel was a worthy winner.

NEWS

Weekly Wit With... ALBERT SNODGRASS

When Jim walked into the office, he knew something was up. There was a message on his desk that the boss wanted to see him as soon as he arrived. The boss didn’t look very happy when Jim reported to his office. The older man didn’t say anything, he just pointed at the newspaper on his desk. It was opened to the sports page, and there was a picture of a smiling Jim, holding up the trophy for winning the local golf tournament the day before. “I just checked. You called in sick yesterday!” the boss said. “What if everybody just claimed to be sick and took off whenever they wanted to? What do you have to say for yourself?” There was a moment of silence in the big corner office, until Jim finally spoke up, “I was really surprised to win the tournament, sir. I have never played that well. Think of the score I could have had if I hadn’t been sick!” A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street. “But officer,” the man began, “I can explain.” “Just be quiet,” snapped the officer. “I’m going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.” “But, officer, I just wanted to say,...” “And I said to keep quiet! You’re going to jail!” A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you that the chief’s at his daughter’s wedding. He’ll be in a good mood when he gets back.” “Don’t count on it,” answered the fellow in the cell. “I’m the groom.” A man goes skydiving for the first time. After listening to the instructor for what seems like days, he is ready to go. Excited, he jumps out of the airplane. After a bit, he pulls the ripcord. Nothing happens. He tries again. Still nothing. He starts to panic, but remembers his back-up chute. He pulls that cord. Nothing happens. He frantically begins pulling both cords, but to no avail. Suddenly, he looks down and he can’t believe his eyes. Another man is in the air with him, but this guy is going up! Just as the other guy passes by, the skydiver -- by this time scared out of his wits--yells, “Hey, do you know anything about skydiving?” The other guy yells back, “No! Do you know anything about gas stoves?”

Crysis 2 is the game of the month, mainly because when it came down to it, there weren’t actually that many great games out at the moment. There’s Pokemon Black and White, but let’s be honest, if you’ve played one Pokemon game you’ve played them all - they’re the McDonald’s of the gaming world, and, incidentally, eating the game cartridge has approximately the same nutritional content as a McChunder (or whatever they’re calling their burgers these days). A first person shooter, Crysis 2 is Half Life on steroids; really big, nasty steroids - the sort your mother warned would use you and abuse you then leave without an explanation. If you don’t know the story, the game involves you completing missions in an outfit called a Nanosuit – yes you’re wearing a gimp mask in this game, but that’s OK because it’s a super gimp mask! It’s 2024 and New York City is under attack from aliens, violent gangs, the military, a couple of really pushy Avon ladies. In fact, everyone wants a piece of you and it’s quite like running down the Moor with a contract for the new series of Big Brother… While we’re on the subject, I said it was coming. I tried to warn everyone that Channel 5 would pick it up, but did anyone listen? Nope. Well, I hate to say it, but Big Brother will be back in the autumn, which means we’ll have to endure that while being assaulted with stories of Cheryl Cole’s latest escapade as the X Factor is on at the same time. It’s never ending, it’s relentless mindless tosh of the worst kind. And worse, does anyone CARE? Ahem. Sorry. Where was I? Oh yes. The bondage gear, I mean Nanosuit allows you to leap small buildings in a single bound, go invisible and endure blows that would fell a cheap hooker at a prison rodeo. The setting is New York City, and without spoiling the story, it starts off a bit stale as the game hand-holds you through the learning your powers process, but it’s the later game that really shines. And shine it does. For Crysis 2 has a fantastic, nay, I would even say gripping storyline involving tentacle aliens (I said tentacle, shame on you), killer military and a bunch of huge boss battles. With awesome graphics, customisable weaponry, and some genuinely thrilling moments, this is definitely my game of the month. But that’s only because the Justin Bieber Experience on XBOX isn’t out until next month! I’m joking. I’m joking! It’s Glee the Game that I’m really excited about!

were still together in death.

Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

Pets do go to Heaven We are a pet loving nation so it’s normal to wonder whether our pets will go to heaven. I have undertaken readings where pets have come through, usually with a spirit relative. An amazing bond exists between many animals and their owners to the point where the pet has become a family member and in some cases almost like a surrogate child. Every dog I have owned has been treated to the best, yes spoilt! It makes me mad when people say ‘it’s only an animal.’ I just walk away. Any animal owner knows how hard it is to lose a pet, especially if you have to make the heart breaking decision to put that animal to sleep. The hole left in our hearts when a pet leaves us is immense but it is important to remember that your pet was either old or struggling, and worse still, in pain and ready to pass over. When animals pass over there is no confusion on their part as there can be with humans, animals unlike humans don’t have issues that need resolving. Souls As the animal’s soul leaves its earthly body it will immediately see a brilliant white light and will be met by the angel Ariel or the angel Gabriel. When the animal reaches heaven he/she will be looked after by St Francis and may meet a previous master or mistress and also animal friends. An example of this occurred when I did a reading for a lady whose house was empty of pets. It felt lost and lonely. I began the reading and her husband came through, then I felt something brush against my legs and I looked down to see a white spirit cat. I felt a second brush and there was now a ginger cat. It happened a further time and there was a lovely black cat. I asked my client whether she had any pets and she told me that she did, a white cat called Misty, a ginger one called Ginger Nut and a black cat called Sooty! They all died in the same month as her husband. Her husband said ‘It’s like a bloody cattery up here.` A personal story of mine is that I rescued two canaries from the colliery and called them Judd and Joe. They had been down the mine acting as gas sniffers and they had always been kept together. Both birds tweeted when anyone walked into the room. Judd was a beautiful singer and after ﬁve years I was sad to discover him dead in the bottom of his cage. The following week Joe died. A year after their death I saw them both tweeting away on the windowsill so they

I was doing a reading for a lady when a white Westie dog came through with a pink slipper in her mouth. I told the lady and she said ‘Oh my God that’s our Mitzi, she always brought my pink slippers to me and strangely enough I can only ﬁnd the one at the moment. So please believe me that pets do go to heaven and are well looked after on the other side.

TATTOO & PIERCING STUDIO

Cruel Owners There are some cruel pet owners. You only have to look in the animal sanctuary to see the proof. It would upset me to think that the animal might be re-united with a cruel master but I now know that this would not happen. Animals have pure souls, they are faithful and forgiving and it’s up to the ‘other side hierarchy’ to decide how that relationship progresses. I know the grief the death of a pet brings. It is real and it is raw. However, as time goes on the hurt subsides and we can be grateful that we were blessed with their presence. Pet lovers please remember how much love our faithful companion gave us. Spirit communication comes in many forms, for example, it may be a dream, a smell, a touch or even an apparition which is unusual for a non psychic to see. If you experience spirit communication the next step is to work out why. Is it a warning or are you thinking of getting a new pet and the spirit pet is giving you their blessing?

A relationship issue comes to a head, as your ruler Mars and the reversing Mercury go face to face with the restrictive Saturn. If things seem stuck or bogged down it could be draining for all concerned. Yet by the end of the week, solutions will start to emerge. Call for your love scope…

A relationship or business arrangement may seem intractable, but as Venus, your ruler, travels into your partnership sector, and the Sun moves into Taurus, a dramatic change of dynamic can occur, one which can surprise and delight you. Call your prediction line for more advice…

This week, you’re urged to get to the bottom of any niggling issue which is causing you angst. However, it will be remarkable how quickly your mood picks up with the return of the Sun to your sign, in midweek. You’ll end the week far cheerier Taurus. Call for your in-depth forecast…

If your energy feels drained, this is the week to take remedial action. Think about the emotional and spiritual dynamics of your existence, for these can also inﬂuence your vitality. Eat sensibly, and cut down on sugars, convenience and takeaway foods. Call your prediction line for more…

If a long term hope has stalled, it could hugely frustrate you. There may even be rows, especially over a group situation or a planned holiday. It may be best to step back and give yourself some thinking time. It can help you to see things with greater clarity. Call for more news and advice…

Have you been burning the midnight oil, perhaps playing and partying so hard that everyday stuﬀ has taken a back seat? If so, the arrival of the Sun can help to re-focus you back on to basics. A starting point would be to catch up on any of the things that you’ve neglected. Call for more…

You can have your work cut out to balance all the diﬀerent demands that come your way this week, with tensions possible, professionally and at home. Try to delegate some of your load. Gee up a partner or youngsters to give you a helping hand. Call for more news and astral advice…

Looking to raise ﬁnance for a house purchase or to re-jig an existing loan? However much you press your case, it may be met with blank stares. If you need to do a proposal of any kind, think of the expectations of the person reading it, and steer your case towards these. Call for more news…

You can feel very strongly about a point of principle, but equally you can encounter someone who disagrees with you, and feels their point of view is just as correct. In legal situations or around contracts, you really need to keep your wits about you. Call now for more news…

You may need to show quite a bit of patience. Forcing issues probably won’t help, but just keep doing what you are doing and slowly but surely you can overcome any obstacles. The arrival of Venus in the most charming of sectors will help to melt any objections. Call me now for more…

Be particularly judicious around your ﬁnances. Only invest or spend money, if you have done thorough research and ground work around how this will aﬀect you, should your circumstances change. If things are getting on top of you, lighter vibes kick-in midweek. Call me for more…

Just at the point when it feels a ﬁnancial issue seems intractable, you can unlock a solution. This may go right down to the wire, but then when things ebb in your direction the satisfaction can be all the sweeter. The pace of life is also set to step up several gears. Call for more astral advice…

The Scenic Settle & Carlisle Line by Steam Train, Wednesday 1st June Join us on board “The Settle & Carlisle Flyer” to experience the splendour of a Steam hauled journey over the world famous picturesque Settle & Carlisle line. We start the journey diesel hauled from Worcester Shrub Hill, winding our way cross country through the Midlands skirting the conurbation of Leeds and up into the Aire Valley, where delightful scenery of the 19th Century Mills can be seen, then heading northwards to Hellifield in North Yorkshire where our Steam Locomotive of the day awaits our arrival. From Hellifield sit back and relax as we head steam hauled toward Settle Junction. We then start the “long drag”, a 14 mile climb from Settle Junction, to the majestic viaduct at Ribblehead. Admire the views of Yorkshire’s famous three peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Penyghent whilst we glide across Ribblehead’s elegant 24 arches. As we plunge into the damp darkness of Blea Moor tunnel, 500ft below the moor above, spare a thought for the navvies who constructed it with nothing but picks, shovels and dynamite. As we emerge into Dent Dales, savour that breathtaking panorama of Blea Moor and green pasture. Garsdale flashes by, our locomotive is working hard now as we storm up to the summit of the line at Ais Gill, 1169ft above sea level. Can you spot the ruin of Pendragon Castle?. Wild Boar Fell frowns at us as we race downhill to the delightful town of Appleby. On leaving Appleby, we enter into the North’s best kept secret - the Eden Valley. Absorb the rich lushness of this little known oasis. Watch out for the deer and game birds. Marvel at the flora and fauna in the Eden Gorge and all too soon we shall have arrived at that great border city of Carlisle.

VOICE OF THE NIGHTINGALE RADIO NIGHTINGALE by Mel Jacques

Radio Nightingale is a registered charity and all of the money to fund the running of the station is raised year on year by our volunteers. Like so many other organisations the end of March saw the end of our ﬁnancial year giving an opportunity to review everyone’s fundraising contributions in our internal competition. Worthy of special note this year, in fact so much so that he received an award, is Alex Walker. Seventeen-yearold Alex joined Radio Nightingale just a year ago on placement from Thomas Rotherham College and has worked extremely hard through the year on a variety of tasks showing excellent commitment in addition to his fundraising where he has raised over £1,000 alone. This success was recognised this week as he was presented with a Student Achievement Award by the college. Next week we are recording our special Easter Service at South Anston Methodist Church. A service of readings and hymns specially selected for Easter by the Rev Colin Barrick, who will be joined by members of local churches and the Wells Singers in the service. If you would like to take part in the service, come along and be part of the congregation. The service will be recorded on Saturday 16 April starting at 3.00pm and then broadcast on Easter Sunday at 5.00pm for the patients of the Rotherham General Hospital. Radio Nightingale broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the patients and staff of the Rotherham General Hospital on 945 &1350mw and Hospedia.

Magna Science Adventure Centre 10th Anniversary Special

STOKING THE

FURNACE

10 YEARS ON! Magna is the UK’s ﬁrst Science Adventure Centre that opened on April 12th 2001. A unique visitor attraction that exploits the scale, heritage and character of its setting within the former Templeborough steelworks. Its core elements include: • A visitor attraction with four indoor pavilions exploring the elements of Fire, Earth, Air and Water and a further two outdoor play areas (Aqua- Tek and Sci-Tek), one of the UK’s largest outdoor play areas. There is no set route to explore Magna so visitors can have their own individual experiences as well as large scale physical challenges such as indoor bungee jumping operated by UK Bungee. • A professionally led educational programme which includes curriculum based workshops and less formal family/group learning activities. For schools unable to visit Magna the explosive Kitchen Sink Show is a popular outreach option – exploring the exciting (and explosive) recipes that can be concocted from ingredients found at home! • One of the North of England’s largest conferencing and hospitality venues which beneﬁts from a versatile and unique event space On Tuesday 12th April Magna Science Adventure Centre will celebrate its 10th birthday! Since opening in 2001 Magna has seen over 1.7 Million visitors through the doors, hosted over 6 years of Christmas Party nights, numerous dance events and concerts and 1000’s of conferences and meetings. In 2007 Magna saw a £2.7 Million

Previous clients and performers include Ford Cars, Mercedes Benz, Asda, Gatecrasher events, Arctic Monkeys and James Morrison.

For groups of 20 or more, book before the end of July and the organizer will go for free. The visitor attraction has seen great changes from the launch of the 2 outdoor play areas, making our outdoor facilities one of the largest in the UK, Sci-Tek boasts over 24 state-of-the-art play structures that allow children to defy gravity and explore the limits and let off some steam wile Aqua-Tek water spay area will ensure children spray, splash and get drenched. Exciting events, themed days, science workshops and demonstrations and temporary exhibitions have taken place every school holiday period to ensure visitors have a different exciting experience each visit, with something new to explore.

RICK WAKEMAN TAKES A JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF SHEFFIELD

course, was a huge success, he has maintained a bit of a grudge and to this day has never written down the magic notes he played on the song, nor has he agreed to show anyone exactly how to play it. Ricks first public appearance was at the age of five when he On Friday the 8th of April, performed a twelve note piece Sheffield Cathedral played entitled “Monkey on a String” host to one of Rocks Music’s with which he opened his concert legendary icons. Rick Wakeman, with on Friday Night. former keyboard player for Needless to say, Mr Wakeman The Strawbs and Yes, as well has come a long way since then, as session man extraordinaire, having recorded more than treated the sold out house to 100 albums of original music, an intimate evening of brilliant performed with the likes of Ozzy piano playing and hilarious road Osbourne, Alice Cooper, John stories. Williams, Brotherhood of Man, Rick Wakeman became an active Elton John, Lou Reed, T Rex, session musician in June 1969, Black Sabbath, Brian May, Al when he played mellotron on Stewart and many others, and David Bowie’s single “Space contributed to some of the most Oddity” for a fee of £9. He went amazing progressive rock music on to play on Bowies’ “Life On ever recorded with the 1970’s Mars” and “Changes” as well as super group “Yes”. Wakeman has “Oh You Pretty Things” and also sold an amazing 50 million records played on “Absolute Beginners” so far in his career and if Fridays’ in 1985. concert was any indication, he Something I did not even know is should continue to sell very well that he played that gorgeous piano indeed. track on Cat Steven’s “Morning I have been a big admirer of Rick Has Broken”. He does say that Wakeman’s playing since I first since his name appeared on the heard him perform with Yes. His album but not the single which, of 6 foot something frame, wearing

a ﬂowing white cape , arms outstretched to play numerous keyboards at the same time was a sight to see and made Rick a keyboard god, and a model for all keyboard players to emulate. It was a pleasure to hear him perform on nothing but a grand piano in the acoustically splendid Shefﬁeld Cathedral. As one gentleman said to me on the break; “It’s so cool to hear him play on his own because you can actually hear everything he’s doing where as in the big arenas, his playing tended to get masked”. While his music was a joy to listen to, there were some standout performances on the evening. One of them was “Dance of a Thousand Lights” from his album “Return to the Centre of the Earth” where he performed along with a tape of the London Symphony Orchestra. “You get to hear me play karaoke “as he humorously put it before he started the piece. It was stunning and his technique is still impeccable. You could imagine what it would be like to hear him in “Albert Hall “with the symphony. He performed “Catherine Howard” from his First solo album “The Six Wives of Henry the VIII” which

was another jaw dropper. He also played a stripped down version on Yes’s top ten US hit “Wondrous Stories” which even without Jon Anderson’s great vocals was simply beautiful to listen to. It’s a testament to the writing that a song as melodically complex as this made it into the US charts. Other pieces performed on the night were: “Bird Man of Alcatraz” where the audience got to perform bird calls to the music when instructed by Wakeman. “A Glimpse of Heaven” written by Dave Cousins of “The Strawbs” and a series of Nursery Rhymes including “Ba-Ba Black sheep” in the style of Mozart, “3 Blind Mice “ in the style of Debussy, and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” in the style of Les Dawson” (That was funny). In the middle of the night, Rick got serious with everyone and dedicated a song to his mother. The piece entitled “Gone But not Forgotten” brought stillness to the House and gave the audience an insight into what makes Rick Wakeman the artist, musician and composer he is. The job of any composer is to place you inside his emotions through his or her music and this composition certainly did that. You could tell it was an important piece of music for him and the audience gave it the respect it deserved. The end of the concert heard him do a rendition of the Beatles “Eleanor Rigby” in the style of Sergei Prokoﬁev, a Russian composer, pianist and conductor who mastered numerous musical genres and is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. I’m sure Paul McCartney would have been blown away if he’d heard this. Mr Wakeman obviously has high regard for the classical composers and is himself a master of numerous musical styles and genres. Along with all this great music were stories of not knowing who some guy was and pushed him off the stage. It turned out to be Salvador Dali. He also told how his music inspired a group of ten elderly people to become rock music addicts by making them fans of the genre, and He spoke of defying record company executives by releasing “Six Wives of Henry VIII” against their better judgement. All in all, it was a glorious night of music, and a behind-the-scenes look into one of the music world’s most gifted and inﬂuential artists.

148TH CIU AGM - PART 1 CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK by Ruth Cherrington

Friday April 8th and I’m up very early for a Blackpool-bound train. The weather is predicted to be sunny and warm but I didn’t pack my bucket and spade. It’s the CIU’s AGM so a notebook and pen are more useful for this trip. I felt very excited about attending my ﬁrst AGM especially as a woman, for these used to be a male-only affairs. I will pick up on some of the key areas addressed at this meeting over the coming weeks. Just over 600 delegates assembled at the famous Winter Gardens on Saturday April 9th. In earlier decades there would have been far more attending but times are hard in clubland with this AGM being billed as one of the most, if not the most important one in CIU history. It was ‘make or break’ time, with the need for some inspiring talk from the National Executive and speakers on the stage. CIU President, George Dawson, began with a stirring address, and added to the usual list of problems contributing to the demise of clubs the fact that most MPs don’t seem to live in the ‘real world.’ They move from school, to university then Parliament and don’t face our everyday problems. Mr Dawson also mentioned, as I did here several weeks ago, that the ‘Big Society’ was nothing new. It’s been around for well over 100 years in clubs. ‘Help the Heroes’ is one charity that clubs raise thousands for each week but there has always been element of helping out others. He reminded us how the CIU predated the TUC, Fabian Society and Labour Party and is still run by ordinary working people, unlike these other institutions that now seem to require a public school education! As clubs contribute, Mr Dawson called for VAT relief, in recognition of their work. Is anyone in Parliament listening? Later on CIU General Secretary, Mick McGlasham, informed us that the CIU was talking to and working with MPs through the All-Party Parliamentary Group, to make those in power understand just how important clubs are. Getting the message across is essential and there was a call for us all to write to our local MPs and invite them down to our clubs. The Right Hon Brian Binley is listening and was bothered enough to attend the AGM. He spoke passionately about the importance of his local club, Gladstone WMC in Northampton, in his own family’s life. It had given his parents a chance to go out early evening with the kids, to have a drink while they played on the lawn. Life was hard in those post- war days, and clubs provided some respite, a place of pleasure and community cohesion. He pleaded for their great work to be supported, not made impossible. Let’s hope he persuades some of his fellow MPs to follow his lead.

LIVE REVIEW by KT Evans Blue Lip Feel Bowery - 08/04/11

LIVE PREVIEW by KT Evans 2:54 Bowery - 15/04/11

Emerging from the shackles of Sheffield’s local indie scene, Blue Lip Feel are the newbies…and by God they’re making an impact. Although barely old enough to legally buy themselves a pint, these young ‘trendies’ on the block have already successfully slotted themselves onto the music scene, winning over a mass of supporters. With a sought after 10:30pm slot at The Bowery on Friday night, it’s also more than clear to see that Blue Lip Feel have arrived…and by the looks of it are here to stay. With a wide spectrum of influences from T-Rex to Stone Roses to The Beatles infiltrating their tracks, the four piece from Sheffield are clearly all about the music. ‘Midnight Oil,’ a catchy tune from the bands back catalogue has moments of Kings of Leon (all be it their first few albums, but hey not even pigeons like their latest recordings) which demonstrates perfectly memorable vocals from front man Oliver Tooze. This is also increasingly evident in ‘Tulips to the Top,’ which although a tad all over the place in parts, no doubt demonstrates the bands skill for producing very accomplished, professional sounding melodies. Nearly packing out The Bowery on a Friday is a pretty big deal, something which Blue Lip Feel seemed almost at ease with throughout their performance. A clear connection between the band members; Oliver, Will, Callum and Thomas enables the group to ‘let loose’ on stage; more and more frequently you see bands giving very selfish, insular performances, something which Blue Lip Feel certainly did not. They have what many unsigned bands could only wish to have on their side; age, meaning if the four-piece keep writing to the level of which they are at now, they may very well be onto something very special indeed. The climax of the evenings came towards the latter half of the band’s set, when ‘I’ll Never Know Who ft. Nate’ was performed. Adding a whole new dimension to the group’s repertoire, this combines two very separate genres; rock verses rap, entwined to create a unique, commercially successful number. Arguably the highlight of the night, maybe Blue Lip Feel could make like Katy B and bring to life a whole new, unexplored genre? ‘Rap-Rock?’…no, thought not…

2:54…remember the name as this London –based duo are getting everybody talking. Posing a look that wouldn’t be out of place in ‘This is England 86’, sisters Hannah and Colette Thurlow are striking, youthful and ready to bring their low-fi, raw edge sound to Sheffield’s Bowery on 15th April. Forget cheesy sibling acts, 2:54 are as far removed to the stereotype as you can get. Their latest single, ‘On a Wire,’ released 28th March is a perfect example of what 2:54 are all about. It’s mysterious, edgy, something that would be perfectly suited to be played in a trendy, underground hangout. With powerful, slurred lyrics, ‘…toying with fire…’ and electric guitar riffs, in terms of a distinct recording sound, this band sure as hell nail it. Other tracks on 2:54’s back catalogue include the emotive ‘Cold Front,’ a culmination of heavy bass drum beats verses distinct vocals and gritty electric guitar sessions resulting in an unusually good track for an unsigned band. In other words, with the calibre of music this band are currently producing, 2:54 deserve some serious recognition…this is certainly the case, with over 75,000 views on their myspace, this duo are making quite an impact among music lovers across the country. Currently on tour in the UK, 2:54 are set to play a whole host of gigs not only nationally, but on an international scale to follow. Having already brought their explosive live show to Manchester, the band are to grace venues in Newcastle, Edinburgh, Norwich, Camden along with Berlin, Paris and Amsterdam to name just a few. Joining 2:54 on the Sheffield leg of their UK tour will be Eagulls, a guitar fuelled, powerful group from Leeds, who are also supporting the duo at the Dog and Parrot in Newcastle aswell as Sneaky Pete’s in Edinburgh. London’s Echo Lake, an alternative post-punk group who will no doubt get the audience going will be appearing on 2:54’s tour on the 13th, 19th, 20th and 21st of April. Although not supporting 2:54 in Sheffield, these guys are worth a listen… an education into the future of the UK’s punk/ alternative scene? So, 15th April, Bowery, get that in your diary as you won’t want to be missing a highly recommended gig. For more info see 2:54’s myspace, (myspace. com.thetwofiftyfour) or see visit the Bowery’s facebook page (facebook.com/thebowerysheffield)

LIVE REVIEW by JC Snugsville City Stereo Supporting Mcfly Bowery - 18/03/11 Everywhere you look these days a new genre or sub genre or splinter genre of music is being discovered and claimed by someone or other. Salisbury based pop rockers City Stereo expertly showed us at the Motorpoint Arena last month that the wheel does not have to be re-invented to produce great music which will sound as catchy in twenty years time as it does now. Fair play to McFly for giving the support gig on their recent fourteen date tour to the lovely lads from Wiltshire. What makes the breakthrough of Russ, Yan, Ben, Ryan & Dom all the more special is that their rise to stardom has come about purely through musical merit as opposed to riding the publicity wave of an X-Factor or Pop Idol type show which has given birth to many of their fellow pop-rockers. Musicianship is one art form, and stagemanship is another. Many bang average bands have shown us over the years that you can possess one without necessarily possessing the other but City Stereo managed to combine the two effortlessly to the delight of the Shefﬁeld crowd whilst playing hits from their superb debut album ‘Dance Like You Mean It’. In the main this is a high tempo high energy LP with songs such as ‘Hit And Run’ , ‘Party At Stella’s and ‘Sleep Tonight’ which you just cant help but move to making the live City Stereo experience all the more enjoyable.

Angler’s Corner by Clint Walker

This week I have been tench fishing. It’s that time of year again, misty mornings, fizzy bubbling fish and bait boxes full of red maggots, corn and worms.... The water I fish has a good head of fish averaging around 5lbs, with bigger fish to double figures, so it’s certainly a place to grab a new personal best tinca. I like tench fishing; it’s a welcome change from the pressures of carp angling, and an escape from the snobbery that surrounds it! I set my stall up in an area of deeper water even though I’d seen lots of tench in the shallows as the sun came up. Why? Well, I know that once there a breeze on the water and the sun is high in the sky, the fish tend to drift away into the depths. It gave me a chance to spod out a bed of dead maggots before the fish drop down into the cooler areas to feed for the main part of the day. You may note I use dead maggots; it’s for the sole reason that they don’t crawl away from the baited area! My set up for tench consists of either a 5000 series baitrunner and Shimano Beastmaster quivertip rod, or a pair of 2lbs test curve barbel rods with 10000 series Shimano reels if I’m fishing at range. This week, I was on the lighter gear and looking to have some fun..... Casting every ten minutes with live maggots in a Kamasan black top feeder, I managed to get plenty of bait in before the first bite two hours later; a steady pull round signalled a fish, and I lifted the rod to connect with a nice solid thump. Surprisingly, my first fish of the day was a bream of just over 7lbs which took three dusted maggots a size 16 hook. I’m currently trialling a new powder additive from Devon based Pallatrax (www.pallatrax.co.uk) which I’d left the maggots in overnight before fishing. Returning the fish, I dropped my feeder back on the spot and waited...... for an hour before I got another bite, which I

promptly ‘bumped’! Not happy... Ten minutes later however, a plump tench of 5lbs 8ozs lay in the net after giving me a good scrap on lighter gear. Bites were coming steadily, every half an hour or so, especially after ‘twitching’ the bait back a few inches. Each of my five tench came in at around 5lbs, with the biggest of the day reaching the dizzy heights of 5lbs 12ozs, so a bag of tench totalling almost 30lbs left me very happy, especially as I’d lost three fish; the solitary bream was also in fantastic condition, very deep and dark across the back and a nice addition to the net. I’m going back again next week, to try and fine tune everything before a session with Ian Chapman for Angler’s Mail; should be good, so I’ll let you know more when it’s published. I just hope I catch!!

STEELERS WELCOME HOME FINNERTY ICE HOCKEY By Sarah Youle

With many fans still devastated at the news that 201011 Player-Coach Ben Simon would be leaving the club, no sooner had he set foot on the plane home than the Steelers were able to announce his replacement. Simon left after long negotiations with Steelers’ owner Paul Ragan. “We tried our level best to retain Ben. We made him various offers that would have seen him become the highest paid person in the British game. When I arrived here I said I would do everything I could to keep Ben on and I did” said Ragan last Wednesday. At a “Goodbye To The Players” event at Carbrook Hall on Thursday, Coach Simon could barely hold it together to make a speech, leaving many fans in tears along with him, and none doubting how much he had put into the team throughout his rookie season as a coach. Simon is reported to have left over wage negotiations, after Paul Ragan offered him a package which made him the highest-paid player in the EIHL, but left him less money to pay his team next year, a compromise he wasn’t prepared to make. “There are always regrets,” Simon said, “but I’ve made the right decision, although I am mad about the general situation. Wherever I go I’ll be rooting for the team.” His replacement, Ryan Finnerty, will be returning to Sheffield after three seasons away from the Steelers, one for the Bloomington Prairie Thunder in the IHL, and the other two with the Cardiff Devils, Ragan’s other team. Shortly after the announcement of Finnerty’s signing, it was announced that he would have a full budget to spend at the start of the season on his team. Unfortunately however his first announcement as coach had to be that one of the fans’ favourite players, Robert Dowd, had left the club for pastures new in Belfast. “This isn’t what I had planned for my first piece of Steelers news,” Finnerty told the Steelers website, “We are all disappointed to see Dowdy leave us. He is a popular lad and a guy I wanted to keep. As a club we tried our best to retain him. Belfast made him a good offer and we matched it. Last night I thought he was staying but he has decided that at this time in his career he wanted a change of scenery. Dowdy has acted professionally in all his dealing with the club and I and we all wish him the very best of luck with his move.” The SSSC AGM will be held in the Glacier Suite at Ice Sheffield on Thursday 26th May. SSSC Members who are eighteen years of age are entitled to vote and should have their own membership card in their possession at the AGM. Members wishing to stand for the committee should use the form enclosed in their AGM notification pack, which will arrive through the post soon, if not collected at a game before the end of the season.

BLUEBIRDS TAKE ALL THE SPOILS

MATCH REPORT www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk A warm, sunny afternoon with a slight breeze blowing across a green pitch presented the perfect conditions for a good game of football. And with high flying Cardiff City as visitors it augured well for a good contest. Both sides were unchanged from last Saturday. The Rovers defended the South Stand in the first half. The Welsh team got the game underway but the Rovers got the first strike at goal in the third minute when Stock fired a thirty-yarder over the bar. Then a long ball for Hayter to chase in the company of Quinn resulted in Hayter forcing a corner off the Cardiff man. Coppinger took the corner from the Rovers left, it was headed out of defence to Gillett, who fed Coppinger on the angle of the penalty area but his low drive went just the wrong side of the far post. Continuing to attack, Hayter and Moussa combined to give the latter a crack at goal from close range to the left. The keeper, Heaton, covered his post and pushed the ball out for a corner. Shortly afterwards a cross from the right by Coppinger produced another corner, which was swung past the far post for Martis to head wide. In the thirteenth minute, a good cross from Coppinger on the right was headed wide by Hayter under challenge from Keinan. The Rovers had been on the attack for the great majority of the first fifteen minutes but it was then that the visitors struck. Bothroyd received halfway in the Rovers half in the inside right position and took the ball on to the edge of the penalty area before backheeling to the unmarked BURKE. He fired low and hard past Woods into the new red and white striped net. Back came the Rovers with Coppinger putting wide from 25yards before the visitors won their first corner in the 20th minute. The Rovers then had to make a substitution when Mills was injured, Kilgallon replacing him and going into the centre of defence with Friend moving to left back. The Rovers continued to have the better of the possession, with Gillett winning the ball in the 28th minute on the Rovers right and taking it on before hitting an angled shot that Heaton tipped round the far post. Although that corner came to nothing another one several minutes later was headed wide by Martis. The match had settled down now but the Rovers were still having the better of possession but not troubling Heaton in the Cardiff goal. But neither were Cardiff causing Woods any problems either. However, Cardiff had the all important statistic of leading by a single goal and that is what counts. The Rovers set the second half

going and went immediately on the attack culminating, after a good build-up, in Coppinger firing wide from 25yards. Minutes later, Quinn, on the Cardiff right, chipped over a cross that went just over the bar. Just before the hour, Moussa got in a strike from 25yards that Heaton handled comfortably. Play then became scrappy for a while before a spell of attacking play from the Rovers ended with Coppinger firing wide from 25yards in the 66th minute. Then a few minutes on and Bellamy played in Whittingham on the Cardiff left inside the Rovers penalty area but Woods was out of his goal quickly to block and then hold the shot. The Rovers then went on to a sustained attack with Coppinger having a go from 25 yards which Heaton saved, then Dumbuya crossed from the right but Euell headed over the bar. In the 82nd minute, Euell on the Rovers left passed inside to Hayter, who gave to COPPINGER on the right and from the edge of the penalty area he hit a low drive just inside the far post for an equalising goal. Minutes later, a free kick from Coppinger on the right was met with a Moussa header but Heaton saved at the foot of the far post. The Welshmen began to hit back and won a free kick in the 90th minute about thirty yards out in a central position. KOUMAS, who had just come on, stepped up and floated a great shot into Woods’ right hand top corner. Four minutes of added time and the Rovers piled forward for Coppinger to put over a cross that Euell met at the far post to head wide. However, the inevitable happened in the fourth minute of added time when, with nine Rovers men in the visiting half of the field, the ball was put into the home half where Bellamy blocked Stock’s clearance and then Wilson’s clearance. KOUMAS latched on to the loose ball and rifled into the net to not only take the points but to take them with a very flattering scoreline.

Doncaster Rovers manager Sean O’Driscoll couldn’t hide his disappointment following a 3-1 defeat at the hands of automatic-promotion chasers Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon. Rovers went behind through Chris Burke’s early finish, before James Coppinger equalised in the second half. However a late brace from substitute Jason Koumas ensured a flattering scoreline for the visitors from Wales, in a game that saw Rovers more than match their top-of-the-table opponents. “We had seventeen shots to their five,” the Rovers boss told RoversPlayer. “Even if you didn’t watch the game, then the stats would show that we should have won. We’re at the stage of the season where points are probably more important than performance, so we’re disappointed.” “I thought that we looked more likely to score from the first whistle. We didn’t wait until the ball went in; we had a great deal of momentum, and we just felt that if we kept going, we would get a goal. We came close one or two times and credit to James Coppinger for his perseverance; if you don’t shoot you don’t score, so I am pleased for him. We felt we could go on to win it, never mind walking of the pitch losing 3-1.” “They’ve left out Jay EmmanuelThomas and Jon Parkin - yet they still have a bench where they can bring on Jason Koumas and Lee Taylor. They are where they are because of the strength of their squad and the quality they have got. We knew that going into the game, but I thought we matched them. I thought we didn’t fall into the same trap that Derby County did (in Cardiff’s last game).” “That’s three games now where, not only do we feel we could have won the game, we could have at least got something out of them and we have got nothing. It’s disappointing.”

MATCH REPORT www.themillers.co.uk

Despite a determined and committed performance a luckless Rotherham United were held to a 1-1 draw by Cheltenham Town at Whaddon Road. Jason Taylor had given the Millers a deserved lead on 12 minutes but the Millers were unable to hold with Andy Gallinagh scrambling an equaliser for the Robins in the second half. Andy Liddell made four changes to the side that was beaten 1-0 by Morecambe at Don Valley last weekend. Jamie Annerson and Ryan Cresswell came in for the injured duo of Andy Warrington and Johnny Mullins, with Tom Pope and Jason Taylor replacing Mark Bradley and Adam Le Fondre who dropped to the bench. The returning Pope was straight into the thick of the action when on four minutes his turn and shot from 18 yards was well held by Scott Brown. A minute later Pope was even closer when his header at the back post was cleared off the line, with some Millers players claiming the ball may have gone over. On 12 minutes the positive start was rewarded with the opening goal. After a session of pinball inside the Cheltenham area the ball was cleared to the edge of the area where Jason Taylor drilled the ball beyond the outstretched palms of Brown and into the bottom corner. A minute later and Cheltenham were almost level. Matt Green picked up possession 20 yards from goal and cut inside before shooting against the inside of the post, with the rebound falling to Wes Thomas who was flagged offside. On 14 minutes Nicky Law came close to adding to the Millers lead when his low drive from 20 yards flashed past Brown’s far post. Law was involved again on 20 minutes when he appealed unsuccessfully for a penalty. The Millers were unfortunate not to double their advantage when Pope again had a header cleared off the line from a Dale Tonge cross. The home side missed a good chance on 29 minutes when Annerson saved well from Green, and then from the resulting corner Gallinagh’s header was tipped onto the bar by the Millers stand-in ‘keeper. Cheltenham came out of the blocks quickly at the start of the second half, and the Millers needed an excellent Danny Harrison block to deny David Bird. Harrison was in the action again on the hour mark, firing narrowly wide after good hold-up play from Pope. Two minutes later Cheltenham levelled the scores after a mistake from Annerson.He dropped a deep cross - though he looked to claim it at the second attempt before having the ball kicked out of his hands - allowing Gallinagh to tap in after a goalmouth scramble. Rotherham responded well and enjoyed the majority of chances for the remainder of the game.Law’s glancing header forced Brown into a superb save at full stretch.The Cheltenham ‘keeper made another save 10 minutes later after Marshall forced him to tip over after heading Tonge’s cross towards goal. The Millers piled on the pressure late on but couldn’t find the breaks at the right time. On 81 minutes Ryan Taylor poked a shot towards goal after a goalmouth scramble but Brown again came to the Robins rescue

GAFFERS REACTION www.themillers.co.uk Caretaker manager Andy Liddell revealed goalkeeper Andy Warrington could spend another game on the sidelines with a toe injury, sustained in the draw with Morecambe. The Millers number one missed yesterday’s 1-1 draw with Cheltenham Town with Jamie Annerson taking his place between the sticks at Whaddon Road. Speaking to Millers Player after the game on whether a timescale for recovery was known Liddell said: “No there isn’t one at the moment. He has got to have another x-ray this week so I am not sure if he will be fit for the next match, so we just have to go from game to game and see what happens.” The Millers were also missing striker Ian ThomasMoore with Liddell confirming a reoccurrence of a thigh problem was the reason behind his absence. “He has picked up the same injury,” confirmed Liddell. “He trained on Friday, kicked a ball and winced and I could tell that he wasn’t right. He will be in for treatment and hopefully he will be fit by next week, but I have no idea if he will.”

MULLINS INJURY BLOW FOR MILLERS

MILLERS NEWS www.themillers.co.uk Caretaker manager Andy Liddell has revealed that Johnny Mullins will miss the rest of the season through injury. The centre half was missing from the Millers squad that drew 1-1 with Cheltenham Town this afternoon with Liddell revealing that he is suffering from a bad injury. “Johnny has got a bad injury,” he told Millers Player after the game. “I am not certain on the correct diagnosis but what I can say is that we won’t see Johnny for the rest of the season. He will require an operation which is quite major and I wouldn’t want to speculate on the timescale.” Mullins has been in sparkling form for the Millers this season and Liddell revealed he will be a big miss. “He has been one of the best centre halves in the league this season but we have Ryan and Nick who are capable deputies and they both played really well today.”

BLADES HIT ROCK BOTTOM BLADES NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

The bright sunshine at Bramall Lane on Saturday could not lift the gloom as a late goal condemned the Blades to defeat. With United pushing for a late winner, Marvin Emnes netted a goal after 89 minutes following a breakaway to leave the Blades pointless. Earlier Matthew Lowton had cancelled out a goal from Matthew Bates and United were on top for large portions of the vital encounter. Adams made two changes with Riise and Lowry both recalled. Montgomery, whose wife had just given birth to twins, and Evans (knee injury) missed out. Henderson was named as United’s captain in the absence of Montgomery, whilst on the bench there was a ﬁrst appearance for 19-year-old Norwegian, Tonne, signed from Strondheim in the January transfer window. Boro made three changes and brought back McManus, Bates and Bailey. It was quickly apparent that Lowton had been moved into

a midfield role and that Adams was continuing with the 4-3-3 system. Lowry partnered Collins in central defence and Lowton joined Doyle and Quinn in midfield, leaving Bogdanovic and Riise to support central striker, Henderson. Williams won a corner off Mattock in the first 30 seconds but United made a bright start. Riise’s shot was comfortable for goalkeeper Smith, whilst a couple of crosses caused the visitors problems. A Quinn corner just evaded Lowton at the back post and Collins and Henderson failed to get on the end of Riise’s inswinging free-kick. Mattock’s free-kick into a crowded penalty area caused concern for Boro but McManus blocked a half-volley from Lowton and then, with their first serious attack, the visitors grabbed the lead. Hines and Taylor were both involved in the build up before BATES made space for himself at the edge of the box, firing beyond Simonsen’s left hand. United, to their credit, did not allow heads to drop and for the next ten minutes peppered the Boro goal. Henderson peeled off his marker but headed wide a Riise cross and then Doyle’s left-footer was deflected wide. A Lowton long throw was not

dealt with by the Boro goalkeeper and, on 25 minutes. Bogdanovic flicked on Quinn’s cross but another header from Henderson was blocked, this time by Smith. There were appeals for a penalty when Nosworthy’s attempted hook into the box hit McDonald before United’s pressure finally told. Henderson flicked on Lowry’s ball out of defence and Riise held up his cross from the left allowing LOWTON to attack at the back post, heading past Smith from close range. Unfortunately, United could not continue with the same momentum after the goal, although it was the Boro penalty area that was more pressured with Riise causing problems from his advanced role. The visitors almost reclaimed the lead on 37 minutes when Simonsen spilled McDonald’s shot... fortunately it dropped wide of the post, whilst from the resulting corner Emnes went close. Mattock was the first Blade booked, fouling Emnes on 39 minutes, whilst two Boro players picked up first half yellow cards - Williams and Bennett, the latter was cautioned for diving in the penalty area in added time. The final chance of the half also

fell to United but from Riise’s deep cross, Henderson could not keep his header down at the back post. United started the second period well and there were half shouts for penalties following fouls on Bogdanovic and Nosworthy but referee Woolmer was not interested. Then, on 50 minutes, from a corner, Mattock’s powerful swerving shot, was pushed away by Smith. Bailey, who was replaced soon after, fired well wide, but United continued to hold the upper hand and Collins and Mattock both missed the target with headers from Quinn corners. On 63 minutes a good move almost resulted in United snatching a deserved lead. Nosworthy and Bogdanovic were both involved before Riise’s pull back is ideal for Lowton, who sees his shot again blocked by McManus. Boro hit back with two chances inside a minute but they found United’s last line of defence in fine form. Simonsen pushed away a long-range effort from McMahon and then, from the resulting corner on 68 minutes, the United goalkeeper produced a top-class reaction save from a volley by Williams. United’s first change saw Bent replace Nosworthy with positional changes for Lowton and Riise and the substitute almost had an impact on 75 minutes. He flicked on Riise’s cross to an unmarked Henderson at the back post but the striker inexplicably headed over from two yards. Yeates - like Bent, a former Boro player - was the next to be introduced as United desperately searched for a winner. At the other end, Lowry was booked for a foul on fellow Aussie Williams before McMahon’s free-kick flew wide. Adams used his last replacement to throw on another striker - Tonne handed his debut with four minutes remaining - but disaster was moments away. With United pushing men forward, Boro capitalised when Henderson failed to control on the halfway line, Arca was allowed to progress unopposed through the midfield area before laying off for EMNES to smash past Simonsen. Five minutes of added time gave United hope getting back into the game once more but Boro locked their defence and held on for their smash and grab win. Blades: Simonsen, Nosworthy (Bent 69), Henderson, Doyle (Tonne 86), Bogdanovic (Yeates 76), Mattock, Lowry, Collins, Quinn, Lowton, Riise. Unnused: Aksalu, Kozluk, McAllister, James.

A NEW DAWN FANS WEEKLY COLUMN by Jon Warburton

Well as the sun goes down on what has been a truly awful season - the worst I have known in my lifetime - we can only start to wonder what the future will hold for Sheffield United FC. If, or when we are mathematically relegated to the third tier of English football (depending on the fullness of your cup) we should be prepared for yet another turbulent summer break. The situation that we see before us is very similar to when Newcastle United were relegated from the Premier League. Many of their players were too good to be dropping to the league below, but that didn’t stop it happening. They kept the majority of their key performers and as such were promoted straight back to the top flight. It is difficult to pick out our star players after this most shambolic of seasons, but I get the feeling that the likes of Darius Henderson, Ched Evans and the resurgent Stephen Quinn may be off in the summer if the price is right (but with our current transfer policy, when is the price ever not right?). And with little finance to invest in a squad makeover, Mickey Adams may be inclined to look towards our triumphant academy set up that has made great strides this season under the tutelage of John Pemberton. The youngsters have attracted a great deal of attention for their high tempo, attractive style of football during their march towards the FA Youth Cup Final, where they will go up against Chelsea or Manchester United for the trophy. We can take some solace in the fact that at least one of Kevin McCabe’s major investments during his time as owner of our club is bearing fruit. And when we consider the rocky terrain that lies before us, it might just be that one investment that provides the basis of our revival.

RUNAWAY SEAGULLS TAKE DOWN OWLS MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

Runaway leaders Brighton edged closer to securing their promotion to the Championship with a 2-0 victory over the Owls on Saturday. A first half penalty converted by Chris Wood gave the home side a 1-0 lead at the break. And Brighton wrapped up the points on 73 minutes when Elliot Bennett thumped his effort from 25 yards into the top corner as the Seagulls maintain their unbeaten record on home soil this season. It was an even first ten minutes at the sold-out Withdean Stadium with neither goalkeeper tested in the early exchanges. Wood had the first sight of goal for the home side when Bennett’s low centre picked out the striker but Jon Otsemobor was across quickly to make an important block. Brighton went close again on 15 minutes, this time from wideman Craig Noone who saw his far post header saved by Richard O’Donnell and cleared away from danger by Danny Batth. Lewis Buxton forced Casper Ankergren to make a good stop

at the other end when the full back cut inside from the left and thumped his strike on target. Noone was looking a lively figure down the left flank and created another opening midway through the first half with a teasing cross that Batth cleared from inside the six yard box. Seagull’s captain Gordon Greer volleyed wide before the break from a corner as the hosts began to turn the screw. The league-leaders did get their noses in front before half time when the referee awarded the home side a penalty for Batth’s challenge on Glenn Murray. Wood took full advantage, striking into the bottom corner beyond the outstretched hand of O’Donnell as Brighton went in at half time a goal to the good. Dangerman Noone began the second period as he finished the first when the wideman dinked over a cross from left that almost gave Wood a tap in at the back stick. Wednesday had to up the ante if they were to get back in the game and had a good chance from a corner which O’Brien fizzed into the area as Batth rose high but headed over the bar. Noone again went close for Brighton as he blazed his strike wide before manager Gary Megson made a double substitution, introducing Gary Madine and Darren Potter to the action.

Moments after the change, Madine went close with a powerful header from Jon Otsemobor’s cross which ﬂew just wide of Ankergren’s left post. But Brighton made sure of the points with a superb strike from Bennett. The midﬁelder latched onto a loose ball 25 yards from goal and picked out the top corner in stunning fashion to round off a good performance from the Seagulls. There was late drama in the match as Brighton captain Greer saw red for violent conduct in the area as the Seagulls prepared to take a free kick. But the game was brought to an end moments later as Brighton extend their unbeaten run at the Withdean this season. Owls: O’Donnell, Otsemobor, Batth, R Johnson, Buxton, Sedgwick (Potter 67), O’Connor, O’Brien (Coke 61), J Johnson (Madine 67), Morrison, Mellor Unused substitutes: Nicholls, Jones, Teale, Heffernan Brighton: Akergren, Greer, ElAbd, Bennett, Calderon, Murray, Dicker, Painter, Bridcutt, Noone (Sparrow 76), Wood (Barnes 63) Unused substitutes: Brezovan, Elphick, Navarro, Sandaza, Kishishev

MEGAON DISAPPOINTED BY OWLS POOR DISPLAY

OWLS NEWS www.swfc.co.uk Gary Megson said the Owls’ performance at Brighton was as poor as he has seen since joining the club in February. Wednesday went down 2-0 to the runaway league leaders and turned in an under-par display along the way. Megson said: “That was as poor as we have been since I came to Wednesday. I don’t want to take anything away from Brighton because they are the best side I have seen this season. “They passed the ball well and were very honest. But we had a long journey down here on Friday and we had a game on Tuesday and they didn’t. “Did that make a difference? I don’t know - but as I say, I don’t want to take anything away from Brighton.” Megson said the Owls will pick themselves up in time for the visit of Hartlepool to Hillsborough next Saturday, when the manager expects a much-improved performance. He added: “We have done it before and we’ll do it again. “The frustrating thing is that we have just got two wins with two good performances. I don’t really think there are any positives to take from today.”

MILLER TIME FANS WEEKLY COLUMN by JC Snugsville

What a ridiculous situation. I say this not with blue and white tinted glasses on but with good of the game (here I go again!!) shades on. Why have we allowed agents to gain such power in the world of football? They can’t kick a ball so why have we got to talk to them? If I buy a dozen eggs from a farm shop they tend to be cheaper than the local corner shop as I’ve cut the middle man out from the deal. This is exactly what these agents are; middle men. Clutter. They are not there for the good of the players to protect them from sweatshop conditions or the like they are there purely to make money and any claims otherwise are nonsense. The PFA offers a reduced rate in house service – Nigel Martyn, the ﬁrst £1m goalkeeper paid just £200 to arrange his move from Bristol Rovers to Crystal Palace. Now I am not naïve enough for a minute to think that the Wayne Rooneys of the world have the time to negotiate their complex sponsorship deals with the Nikes and Coca Colas of the world and when it comes to the use of agents in this situation then go for your life boys get as much from them as you can. But when it comes to on the ﬁeld issues I am going to use a word which Gary Megson uses in almost every sentence at the minute. Honesty. Managers and players should both be honest enough to sit down round a table and agree a fair days pay for a good games play. My respect for Darren Purse increased twentyfold when he was honest enough to knock on Irvine’s door and say this is broken and we are beyond the point of repair so can both parties move on please without the need for payoffs and severance packages. Mandaric, Megson and Miller all need to be honest enough to select the best available eleven on any given matchday and Miller needs to be honest enough to take into account every single one of his and the team’s performances along with league position whilst he has been at Hillsborough when he next renegotiates his deal, as opposed to taking account of some magic number in the small print. One of these days, common sense may just prevail.
