COPLEY’S COLUMN

I recently enjoyed a very pleasant Saturday at the open day at my local vets, the Dronfield Veterinary Clinic, which is a branch surgery of the company’s Hunter’s Bar Clinic. I am very attached to my two Lhassa Apso dogs, spoiling them all the time, and always cook ox liver for them before my own full English breakfast, so you will appreciate that I was keen to check out my local veterinary clinic. I was not disappointed. The clinic was spotless and I was pleased to see the highest spec. equipment. The owners of Dronfield’s mini zoo, Sally and Chloe Rainbow, were in attendance with their many exotic pets, including five week old baby meerkats, a beautiful boa constrictor snake, raccoons, a skunk and a Chilean tarantula spider. I was keen to exhibit my manliness by having the tarantula sit on the palm of my hand, and the majority of the ladies present did

a quick about turn when I approached them (nothing new there), and my master stroke was to have the huge boa constrictor wrap itself around me and then walk into the local Co-operative store. I must be perceived as the local lunatic, as most of the shoppers looked at me with little signs of fear or amazement, obviously thinking that this behaviour is par for the course for me. However, I did not contravene the shop’s ‘no dog’s policy. However, a quick trip round the shop with the tarantula did provoke the reaction I was seeking Dronfield Veterinary Clinic actively support international pet charities and are to be applauded. I have no hesitation in urging Dronfield pet owners to patronise this excellent clinic and also people within the catchment area of Hunters Bar can also ensure the best care for their pets. Johnny Howe continues with his policy of providing top class entertainment, and Ian Andrews put on a first class show, with a couple of his entourage getting up to sing a few songs, and very good they were. I got up to sing my very own verse of ‘My Way’, the comedic element disguising my lack of vocal talent. Johnny Howe finished off the night to rapturous applause. I, and surely Johnny and Von, were disappointed with the turnout, and locals must realise that our pubs must be supported if we are to continue with top class entertainment. The next big name to appear at the Victoria are the Dronfield twins , Francine and Nicola Gledhall, runners up in the recent Andrew Lloyd talent competition. I shall be reporting on this very glamorous duo on my return from holiday.

round-up by stuart renton

Last night saw the first of the live finals of Britain’s Got Talent, and the show needs renaming Britain’s Dredging the Barrel for allowing such distinctly average performers through to the live shows. We had fire eaters, a talented (but boring) pianist, a bizarre father and daughter duo (who were clearly dragged in off the streets while queuing for Songs of Praise), and a BMX rider who had clearly come to the wrong studio. He was expecting to be interviewed on Blue Peter, but as he was there decided to put on a show. He needn’t have bothered! So, despite an utter lack of talent, Simon Cowell has managed to convince the nation that there’s something worth watching here, when we all know that all the real talent has been used up on previous shows. This year sees a bunch of Diversity wannabes, more ‘dancing’ dogs, and, of course, the never ending waves of sickeningly cute kids. Call me cruel, but the only saving grace is seeing those under eights get up before the judges only to be torn to pieces when they prove how utterly unprepared they are for a show of this nature. Incidentally, do you know why those ultra terrible acts seem so shocked when the panel tells them how truly awful they are? It’s because, up to that point, through the five or so auditions they’ve already had, the producers have been telling them how amazing they are. So, brimming with false confidence, they go before the judges, who hold no punches, and quite naturally, their hopes and dreams are shattered in the most painful way imaginable. It’s incredibly cruel, yet because these people are so bad, we don’t complain as we almost feel they deserve everything that’s coming to them by being on a show of this kind. It’s evil really. In summary, BGT is entertainment in name alone. It’s truly dire viewing that somehow manages to be the UK’s most watched television show. It’s also the show with the highest number of advertisement breaks. There were six in last night’s episode; clearly, someone’s trying to milk it for every possible bit of cash. You could tell me not to watch, but then I’ve have absolutely nothing to complain about! But if I thought Britain’s Got (No) Talent was bad, we’ve got X Factor and Big Brother still to come later this year. I think I’ll go and cry now. Quick – crying man – that’s vaguely entertaining! Someone call Simon Cowell!

Competition win tickets to see TEXAS at DONCASTER RACECOURSE

See Texas live after racing at the Heartbeat Appeal Race Day at Doncaster Racecourse on Saturday 25 June 2011. Tickets priced £38 & £28 Adult, £7.70 Child (subject to booking fee) are now on sale through the Arena Ticket Shop, available online at www. arenaticketshop.couk, by phone on 0114 256 5567 and in person at the Motorpoint Arena box office. Texas are back. Not that they ever split, not that they ever fell-out, they just needed to draw breath after almost 20 years at the coalface, during which they released seven sparkling albums and reminded us all that craft, heart and soul never go out of fashion. And, lest we forget, Texas were adored by the public and their peers: they sold 30 million albums across the globe - their love affair with the French started in 1989 with the first Texas single I Don’t Want A Lover and continues to this day - and in Britain they’ve had four chart topping albums, while the songwriting team of singer Sharleen Spiteri and bassist Johnny McElhone won an Ivor Novello Award in 1998 for their back catalogue, although their best was yet to come. It’s not exactly been quiet since 2005’s Red Book. Sharleen has enjoyed a successful solo career; and she’s branched into artist management with Johnny, while guitarist Ally McErlaine almost died following a massive brain aneurysm. “We needed a rest from Texas and so did the public,” explains Sharleen. “But, there was never any question that it was the end. People really liked us y’know, but even though there’s so much goodwill and love towards us, I’m not sure people really remember how big we were. Dizzee Rascal was a fellow judge on Sky’s Must Be The Music and when they outlined all Texas had done, his jaw nearly hit the floor. We’ve got a huge back catalogue and we can’t wait to embrace the grittiness of Texas live again.” Tickets for Texas at Doncaster Raceourse, priced £38 & £28 Adult, £7.70 Child (subject to booking fee) are now on sale through the Arena Ticket Shop, available online at www. arenaticketshop.couk, by phone on 0114 256 5567 and in person at the Motorpoint Arena box office.

Sheffield 50+ - The Voice of Older People Heard Nationally

Helping to keep you safe, secure and independent in your own home

If you’re elderly, live alone, or feel vulnerable because of disability, a medical condition, or harassment, City Wide Care Alarms could help you remain safe, secure and independent in your own home. We offer you a simple to operate personal care alarm that puts you in touch with specially trained staff at our emergency call monitoring centre. They’ll help you to resolve any problems you may have. Unlike some other care alarm services, we also provide support workers, who can respond in an emergency at any time of the day or night, 365 days a year. Our support workers are specially trained and equipped, so they can provide professional emergency personal care and falls assistance. This means you know you’ll be in safe hands, but also you don’t have to rely on family, friends or neighbours being available to come to your assistance. With City Wide Care Alarms, you can also add additional alarms to your general service. These monitor certain situations and automatically raise an alarm in the property and at the call monitoring centre. If you are interested in seeing how these alarms work, free demonstration rooms have been set up where you can go along and see them working in practice. There are currently two rooms open to the general public. These are at; Norbury Resource Centre on Crabtree Road Sheffield S5 or Sevenfields Resource Centre, which is based at 239 Ben Lane, Sheffield. S6 4SB. Norbury is open between 9am and 8pm each day and Sevenfields is open, between 8.00am and 9.00pm each day, although prior booking is requested for both sites. Contacts for each site are as follows: • Norbury:- Jackie Tummon Tel 0114 2425978 • Sevenfields:- Duty Manager Tel 0114 2037125

Age Concern Sheffield can help! Our new Macmillan Information Support Service is available to anyone over the age of 50 who has been affected by cancer. Whatever stage of the journey you are at from prediagnosis to recovery, Age Concern can help support you. This brilliant new city wide service is being funded by Macmillan Cancer Support and will be delivered by Age Concern Sheffield. Their new service can help you, your friends, family and carers to find out about and link up to the right financial, practical and emotional support services for you. Age Concern can help you to find out whatever you need to know from cancer specific enquiries through to what practical help is available to help you cut the grass, for example. They can also provide practical support to help you get your voice heard such as helping you to contact your utility provider, assisting you to understand a letter or complete a form. You can access this service Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm by phoning Age Concern’s Macmillan Information Support Service on 0114 2502850 or by emailing debbie.price@ageconcernsheffield. org.uk.

RUNNING IN THE FAMILY MAGIC AM by Trevor Thomas

Pupils at Birkdale School in Broomhill have been treated to a performance from the one and only former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett. Steve’s brother Dave has just started life as a music teacher, so enlisted his brother as part of a bid to get more lads to start playing the flute. Wow, what a treat! Have you ever worked with another family member though? I had lots of calls on the Breakfast Show just the other day from people who’ve gone into business with sisters, brothers or even Mum and Dad, and I myself have even appeared on air with my DJ’ing brother once or twice in the past too. Out of everyone, my favourite call was from the garage boss whose son now has followed him into the business and runs a successful motor dealership in Mansfield. It was pointed out though that he still swiftly stands to attention when Dad walks into the office. There’s more fun and games with me each morning here on Magic, including our new Francis Rossi Magic Word game. Perhaps you can work out which two words Her Majesty The Queen chose to say to him. As ever, you can find out more about what we’re up to on the Magic AM website. Tune in as well of course for the best of the 60s, 70s and more. See you in the morning, Trevor

EYES DOWN VOICE OF THE LOOK IN NIGHTINGALE CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK by Ruth Cherrington

Whether you call it tombola, housey-housey or bingo, most of us have probably marked a few tickets, or cards, at some time or other. It’s a game regarded very fondly by club goers and linked to the boom years of the 60s and 70s when big prize money and ‘snowballs’ (what me would now call a roll-over) pulled in the punters. Critics complained that it killed other areas of club life but others felt it added another string to their bows. I know I certainly liked it, even though as a child I wasn’t allowed to play. I would draw up my own ‘pretend’ ticket as I sat next to mum and learnt the rules of the game. As an adult I moved onto the real tickets and I liked the game even more if I won. I was known for getting very excited when I got down to wanting one number and my excitement carried on even if I shared a £5 win with 3 other people. Just ask any of my family! It remains a popular pastime, a way of winning bit of money and also a way for clubs to bring in some customers. But where did it all begin? It seems like the game pops up all over the world and in all periods of history. I thought there might be an Italian connection when I spent Christmas eve with my Italian friend’s family in Rome a year ago and was pleasantly surprised when they brought out the ‘tombola.’ The simple family version with counters is brought out every year and whilst my friend groaned, I got stuck in. So, did they beat us to it? Certainly a similar lotto game was played in Italy back in the 16th century which can be seen as the origins of the game and a form of lottery that continues in Italy to this day. But we were also playing something similar at the time, a game with random numbers being selected that the players had to match. Prize money went to the ﬁrst one to get the required number. It was easy. It was fun but it was gambling and money could be lost. Women were particularly enamoured of this game in the 18th we are informed by researcher Carolyn Downs, who liked the game so much she wrote a Phd about it! There was something of a moral panic about the poor wretches addicted to the game and spending their hard earned wages- not unlike hundreds of years later when there would be similar outcries and concerns. But now we have the national lottery which parts a lot more people from their money on a daily basis so worries about bingo have faded. In other European countries, versions of the game could be found in the 19th century- in Germany as an educational tool (a bit like me copying mum perhaps!) in France, Malta and Spain. I wonder if in the latter country it was known as ‘casa-casa’? We will see next week how it made the big time in the New World and what it had to do with corn and travelling salesmen.

INTERVIEW by KT Evans THE CRIBS

The Cribs are back! Hallelujah! A staple backbone and core thoroughbred of the Northern indie scene, The Cribs are one of the most celebrated cult bands in modern music and probably the best thing to come out of Wakefield since rhubarb. No seriously, Wakefield do a supreme rhubarb…we digress. Speaking to 2/3 of the Jarman brotherhood, Gary and Ross at last weekend’s FOM Fest, The Cribs are returning on top with fire (and chocolate cake from their Wakefield neighbours) in their bellies...and about time it is too! Having been ‘off the boil’ for the last year or so (we don’t talk about the unannounced LP release ‘Housewife’ which in 2010 decidedly slipped off the radar). Instead we look to the prosperous future for the now three piece, who up until recently had an additional Smiths member Jonny Marr join their line-up. ‘It’s an era of the band that was exciting and we are proud of, but now it feels like we’re returning,’ reminisces Gary. ‘It feels like a separate era.’ A separate era it may well be yes, however one which saw The Cribs song writing and all over musical craftsmanship blossom into something which only a musician stemming from The Smiths could have possibly sparked. Tunes such as ‘Cheat on Me’ and ‘We Share the Same Skies’ have a distinct all rounded edge to them, as oppose to the more experimental numbers off their first albums ‘The Cribs’ in 2004 and ‘New Fellas’ in 2005. Although of course to be expected through the development of such bands; the Arctic Monkeys are a perfect case study to reveal the growing and changing of musical ability, the transition for The Cribs has only aided their increasing success. ‘The fans have been really good; everyone’s been really excited about the future records. I think in leaving us as a three piece, it’s really brought us closer together again. As far as writing goes, it’s defiantly made us a bit closer. It cemented what we were before.’ So what were you expecting…a feud between the members which drove Marr out of the tightly knit original three piece? Marr as an outsider, both physically and biologically, no longer able to continue his work with the band? Well no, you’d be wrong, totally wrong in fact. Although we all do love a bit of drama, the exiting of Marr was by no means on bad terms or cross words. ‘As far as the dynamic goes, we miss having him around; hanging out backstage, stuff you talk about, stuff you listen to, Jonny would be there and have an input in all of that. So it’s in situations like that when you’re like, O’h that’s weird he’s not around anymore.’ Ok ok, so long, fair well and all that, but what are The Cribs doing at the moment? ‘We’ve been rehearsing in my garage,’ explains drummer Ross, ’just getting rid of all the stupid frills that seemed to come with it. It’s a little smaller than we’re used to; we like to strip back the edges. Our neighbours bring us chocolate cake…when they find out the bands in town.’ A strange, outer body experience proceeds with a lengthy debate on the topic of chocolate cake, flavourings and texture to quickly be brought back to earth with Gary’s interjection ‘we’re really ready to make a record now… We’ve got a lot of ideas, were just going to keep bringing more ideas so eventually we can wittle it down to something a little more cohesive I guess.‘ And how about an exclusive release date? ‘It’s probably going to be next year… That doesn’t mean we’re going to sit on it, there’s still new ideas floating around.’

REVIEW by PAT MUSTARD FROM THE JAM 20/05/11 BUILDING 21 First off, I have to say I’ve been a fan of The Jam forever, man and boy. Saw them in ‘82 and (as FTJ) in 2007 so was anticipating another nostalgic night. Anyhow, to the gig ... and a new venue to me and very cool too ... all-standing and set out like a ‘proper’ gig. After Rick Buckler’s decision to retire (again!) FTJ had been touring with Mark Brzezicki (Big Country & a host of session stints) on the kit; however his B.C. commitments meant a further change with Chris Grainger stepping in - and very tidy he was too; with a storming solo during the ‘tube train’ break in the middle of “Tube Station” a highlight. So as frontman Russell Hastings, drummer Grainger and Bruce Foxton - one of the most iconic bassists in British music - hit the stage the several hundred in the crowd were into it straight away. And not just male over-40’s reliving their youth either, there were partners and some kids too all to see and hear tracks that defined a generation and continue to influence musicians to this day. Opening with “Dream Time” from “Sound Affects” was it really 29 years since The Jam went their separate ways? No matter - a raucous cheer and second up was “Eton Rifles”. Hastings, looking like Jack Branning’s older brother, thrashing his black Rickenbacker with the fire and skill that this timeless track merits and the immaculately dressed Bruce, with THAT bassline snarling from his trusty black Precision, got the show straight into top gear and kept it there. More hits and tracks from the six studio albums followed ... “To Be Someone”, “Little Boy Soldiers”, “The Modern World”, .... their Marshall stacks were getting a serious workout tonight. Another classic Bruce bassline came with “Pretty Green” then the poignant “Butterfly Collector”. A new track followed then Bruce took the lead vocal on his self-penned track “News Of The World” better known to a younger generation as the theme to TV’s ‘Mock The Week’. Shared vocals on the Kinks’ classic “David Watts” and another new track - From The Jam’s very own “Window Shopping” - good stuff too. An electric version of “That’s Entertainment” took us into another Bruce classic “Smithers-Jones”. “Thick As Thieves” (from ‘Setting Sons’) and “Happy Together” (from ‘The Gift’) reminded me of how their album tracks were as strong as the singles. Then Bruce donned his semi-acoustic for the

PREVIEW by KT Evans WESTON PARTY 201 5/6/11

If you do one thing this June, make sure it’s to come down to Weston Park this Sunday, from 12:00pm onwards, to not only support local music but local based charities aswell. A day’s event not to be missed, this is the parties second year in action, brought to the people by Sheffield band Driftrun. In aid of Sheffield’s Children Hospital, expect heap loads of live music, raffles, BBQ-ing etc in this highly anticipated event, pitching itself as a small yet suitably fitting ‘warm-up to Tramlines.’ Last year, Weston Parties debut showing, the festival itself raised over £800, all in the name of Sheffield’s Children Hospital. This is something which the organizers will not doubt want to replicate this year. Because of its huge amount of success in 2010, Weston Party was also nominated and won ‘best live event’ at the Sheffield Scenester music awards back in January, proving it harbours potential scope within the local festival circuit. Aiming to better itself this Sunday however, this year’s line-up covers a diverse spectrum of musical tastes, appealing to anyone who fancies something a little more home grown. Driftrun, hosts of the event and general Sheffield do good’ers will be performing this Sunday, a drum ‘n’ base, dub- entwined four piece who, as seen through daring covers and samples of chart numbers, aren’t afraid to be themselves and try something new on stage. Jon Windle, talented song-writer and ex Little Man Tate Frontman also is signed for the day’s listings, a well-known face and supporter of Sheffield’s vibrant music scene. Joining these, Alvarez Kings, a sturdy backbone within the local indie scene. Guaranteed to pull in huge crowds of admiring fans, Alvarez Kings have gained vital experience through gigging on an international scale, however true to Sheffield can often be seen on the local live circuit. Blue Lip Feel, Sheffield’s up-and-coming indie band are also conscripted to play this Sunday. Rapidly winning not only respect but support from big names within the music scene, Blue Lip Feel are young, lively and are expected to deliver big this weekend. Other names signed up for the Weston Party include Steve Papa Edwards and the Big Strong Love, Playground Mafia and Mark Nichols, all set to mark their stamp on this weekend’s shindig. Food stalls and catering huts are on mass to bring a selection of culinary delights to party goers, including a Pimms bar and noodle counter…not together, we wouldn’t recommend that. BBQ’s are permitted so dust down your disposable and get on down to a weekend of unmissable events. This is a free event, with bus numbers 51 and 52 stopping outside the park from the centre of town. ‘Taxman’-inspired “Start!” and the room was truly bouncing. “Strange Town” and “When You’re Young” followed then the sublime “Down in the Tube Station at Midnight” complete with Bruce’s legendary harmonics ‘stops’. It was a storming way to finish the 85 minute set and the crowd chanted and waited to see what other gems they could prise out of the trio. Four encores was the answer - debut “In The City” then three more No. 1 singles - “Beat Surrender”, “Going Underground”, “A Town Called Malice” all sprinkled with ‘Foxton leaps’ and they were gone. Huge cheers and the crowd were left to begin uploading their mobile phone clips to a certain video-sharing website. Many favourites omitted but with such a mighty back catalogue to choose from they couldn’t play them all - though I’m sure the audience wouldn’t have minded! Needless to say the night got a big thumbs-up from me. The six years that they ruled the charts (when that meant something) has ensured that the warmth and loyalty from the fans has never waned, despite the years, and it’s hard to believe that Bruce is now 55 whatever he’s taking it’s working! A special mention to Russell Hastings too - doing the Weller part is a big ask but he delivers. The vocals and guitar work were exemplary but then this is no tribute band when you have the Brucemeister prowling stage left with his peerless bass playing and vocal harmonies. ‘Presence’? Mr. Foxton has still got ‘it’ .... The Jam are no more, long live From The Jam .... go see ‘em!

PETS CORNER

STUB IT OUT! Passive smoking is the most common cause of respiratory allergies in our feline friends. Research* shows cats exposed to second-hand smoke are twice as likely to develop feline lymphoma, a potentially fatal form of cancer, in smoking households. It can also cause sneezing, coughing and wheezing. Dogs are also very susceptible to smoking-related respiratory problems and their exposure to tobacco smoke has been linked to nasal and sinus cancers **. Cigarette smoke can also be harmful to pet birds, which have very sensitive respiratory systems. In pets such as hamsters and guinea pigs, passive smoking has been known to contribute to alopecia (hair loss). PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Sean Wensley, says: “The effects of passive smoking on humans are well known, but many people don’t realise their pets are also affected. Remember that a pet can’t tell us if cigarette smoke is affecting them, but over time their health will suffer. “Prolonged exposure to smoking can cause chronic breathing difﬁculties or cancer. So we are urging owners to think about their four-legged friend’s health as well as their own before they light up.” Cigarette smoke can also have an affect on a pet’s eyes and nose. A dog’s eyes can look and feel sore as the smoke affects their blood vessels. Dog’s noses are very sensitive to scents and any breed of dog with a long nose, such as a greyhound, is likely to be more at risk from cancer. Sean continues: “If giving up completely is out of the question, there are ways to lessen the affect on pets. Try not to smoke near them, keep all rooms well ventilated or encourage visitors to have a cigarette outside.”

Angler’s Corner by Clint Walker

Anglers and fishery owners love boats, useful for baiting up, getting to out of reach banks, netting operations or just generally tidying up and helping with essential fishery maintenance, all of us like to ‘mess about in boats’. I’ve found a company which produce a range of fantastic boats to suit every budget and every situation; they are easily transportable and require almost no maintenance at all to keep them ‘sea’ worthy. Packed with useful features, the new Sturdy and Neptune range offer everything you will ever need to enhance your experience afloat! Highly respected fishery management equipment supplier AQUACULTURE EQUIPMENT Ltd (www. aquacultureequipment.co.uk ) are pleased to announce that they have successfully secured UK distribution rights for the fantastic AQUA NEPTUNE and AQUA STURDY range of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) boats which cater for all fishery and leisure water requirements. The new boats are an outstanding addition to AQUACULTURE’S wide product catalogue which offers everything venue owners need to provide comprehensive solutions to site management. The AQUA NEPTUNE consists of a one piece rigid HDPE hull, fluted to guarantee increased stability in the water, and each of the three variants (200,220 and 250) is supplied ‘fully loaded’ ready for instant use. With fantastic features including an integral bench seat, roller wheels, reinforced engine mounting, oars and rowlocks, there are many more excellent benefits provided as standard. The AQUA NEPTUNE allows the use of transom mounted engines between 1.5 and 4HPand can seat up to 3 people in comfort (model 250) which makes baiting up or rig placement simple! Weighing a maximum of 45kgs, the boats are lightweight, highly manoeuvrable and quick to deploy. Prices for the AQUA NEPTUNE start at just £295. Ideal for club or commercial use, the AQUA STURDY is also available in 3 sizes and has a larger hull which is perfect for bigger venues. The configuration of the AQUA STURDY moulding enables AQUACULTURE EQUIPMENT to tailor each order for individual clients; additional extras comprising swivel seats, rod holders, bow anchor pulley and jamb cleat, mooring lines, trailer and much more can be supplied and fitted as ordered; a padded seat cover and fitted unhooking mat will be available soon. Ideal for use with a silent 12v motor, the STURDY can accommodate up to 4 occupants with ease and is capable of being manhandled over rough ground with a maximum weight of 100kgs; still much lighter than comparable boats! The AQUA STURDY is available from £499. Both the NEPTUNE and STURDY are constructed to allow easy use in shallow water too; the flat bottomed hull enables operators to work in difficult to access areas of water near reed beds and islands which may prohibit the employment of less suitable platforms. The enhanced stability and hull integrity offered by the new designs permit safe deployment in any conditions which may be encountered during everyday use; practical and easy to use, the new AQUA boats are an asset to any venue!

Racing Form

by Timelord

The Derby and Oaks spearhead a classic weekend at Epsom It’s one of the best weekends that flat racing in this country has to offer as Epsom hosts its annual classic Derby and Oaks encounters over its world -famous switchback 12 furlong track. The supporting fare isn’t bad either – the Group 1 Coronation Cup for older horses over the classic 12 furlongs distance is always won by a good animal, although it only usually attracts a small, but very select, field. In addition there are some ultra-competitive handicaps and Group races. BBC has the Epsom coverage, showing 5 races on each of Friday and Saturday, while Channel 4 are covering 3 races from Doncaster and 4 from Musselburgh giving a 12 race TV extravaganza on Saturday. Make no mistake Epsom is truly a classic test as there is no other track quite like it. The steep climb up from the start to the top of the hill, the even steeper descent into Tattenham Corner followed by a half mile or so dash up the cambered straight combine to present a unique test for relatively inexperienced 3yos. In the Derby I reckon that the French horse Pour Moi has an excellent chance of toppling the favourite Carlton House, who himself was undeniably impressive when winning the best trial of recent years, the Dante. These two may well fight out the finish but others with decent chances are: Vadamar (close behind Pour Moi last time); Casamento (this should be his distance); Genius Beast (not fully exposed yet); Seville and Pisco Sour (2nd and 3rd respectively in the Dante); Native Khan; and the Gosden pair Masked Marvel and Nathaniel. Assuming that some of these will improve here it seems to me that this race could be a closer call than the betting would suggest. I think that the favourite looks too short in the betting so I am going for Pour Moi to record a rare win for France. Vadamar and Pisco Sour are longer shots with each way possibilities. In the Oaks I think that current favourite Blue Bunting has the form and class to score. However I also like Siren’s Song as an unexposed danger and also think that Misty for Me is likely to prove troublesome if she travels over for the race. She didn’t fire at all in our 1000 Guineas when I fancied her chances strongly but has since returned to form with a vengeance when winning the Irish 1000 Guineas last time. Lingfield Oaks trial winner Zain Al Boldan and Cheshire Oaks winner Wonder of Wonders are two that we have yet to see the best of and could prove dangerous also. With Blue Bunting pretty short in the betting the best each way value at the current odds looks to be Siren’s Song (currently standing at 22/1) and she merits a sporting chance to upset the favourite. For the Coronation Cup I can’t see past the chance of Midday who looks to have an excellent chance. Dandino can chase her home while St Nicholas Abbey will “make the market” for them. For the other races at Epsom it often pays to give extra significance to form over the course and distance as the track is so idiosyncratic that it can cause horses to become unbalanced and/or lose their action. Selections Summary: I have made selections for all the Epsom races on Friday and Saturday and with so many TV races this week I have simply provided shortlists for them below - the selections are in order of preference as usual.

His appointment was controversial in the eyes of a minority of Unitedites, but Wilson says United’s ambitions come before any personal accolades and he is adamant he can win over any doubters: “This can’t be a personal thing, when the season starts and the fans see the players on the field it is not about Danny Wilson, it is about trying to get this club back to where it belongs, and I think that is back into the Premiership because that is what it is geared up for. “I can look forward with a great determination about helping Sheffield United win games and that is key, as is winning in a certain manner. Everybody wants a winning team and to be entertained and hopefully we can achieve that. We will all be judged when we starting kicking a ball in anger. “I have had 17 years as a manager and that’s more than I had as a player. I have got 900 games under my belt, which I am proud of, and 1,000 games is the goal I set myself as a target.” Wilson adds: “That record suggests I am a stayer that can dig in when necessary and I am determined to come through tough situations the best I can. “This game is results driven, managers aren’t stupid and it is nothing new. The fanbase here is incredible and the ambition is high because of the facilities at our disposal and the recent taste of the Premiership. “Everything here is geared for the top-flight and that is testimony to Kevin (McCabe) and the Board of Directors. The family has pumped a lot of money in to achieve this so obviously that is why the expectation level is so high.” * Meanwhile, United have rejected an offer from Fulham for teenage striker Jordan Slew.

TRANSFER TALK WITH GARY MEGSON OWLS NEWS www.swfc.co.uk

Gary Megson has spoken of his satisfaction after securing two transfer targets ahead of the 2011-12 campaign. Rob Jones and David Prutton checked in at Hillsborough earlier this week and the Owls chief is pleased that the first pieces of the summer jigsaw are in place. Defender Jones proved a key loan capture towards the back end of last season and Megson is delighted to land the giant stopper on a permanent basis. He said: “Our fans already know about the qualities of Rob Jones and what he brings to the team. “If we hadn’t managed to sign Rob and Danny Batth when we did, we would have been a lot closer to the relegation zone because when I joined the club at the beginning of February the defending at the first game I saw had to be seen to be believed. “When we brought Rob and Danny to the club, we suddenly looked more secure and consequently we started to play a bit better and consequently we started to score more goals.” Prutton, meanwhile, is another vastly experienced addition to the squad with the right attributes to fit Megson’s criteria, as the boss explained: “David Prutton can run all day long, his passing is good in terms of being simple and keeping the ball, he knows the game and has a tremendous desire to be successful. I have admired him for a long time. “He is really looking forward to joining a club of this size and stature and so much so that he flew back from his holiday in Spain to have his medical and went back out the same evening. “He’s not going to be scoring 20 goals a season, that’s not why we’ve brought him here. I have a way I want us to play and David fits the bill in terms of that.”

SEAN IS DIVISIONS SCOTT CLOSING IN LONGEST SERVANT ON NEW RECRUITS ROVER NEWS www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

MILLERS NEWS www.themillers.co.uk

Doncaster Rovers manager Sean O’Driscoll yesterday became the longest-serving manager within the npower Championship, following the dismissal of Dave Jones as manager of Cardiff City on Sunday. Jones had been in charge of the Bluebirds for six years, with Rovers manager O’Driscoll the second name on the ‘longest-serving manager’ list of Championship clubs. Sean has been in charge of Doncaster Rovers for four years, eight months and twenty-three days - during which time the Wolverhampton-born manager has brought great success to the Club. In his first season following his appointment in September 2006, Sean guided Doncaster Rovers to Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium, where Rovers beat Bristol Rovers 3-2 in the final of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy; a truly unforgettable day for all Donny supporters. O’Driscoll’s first full season brought more success, as Doncaster Rovers achieved promotion to the second-tier of English football for the first time in fifty years. An outstanding League One campaign saw Rovers finish third come the end of the season; missing out on automatic promotion on the last day of the season following defeat to Cheltenham Town. As a result, Rovers entered the lottery of the Play-Offs, sweeping aside Southend United in the semi-finals before beating Leeds United at the final at Wembley Stadium, thanks to James Hayter’s bullet header. Since arriving in the division, the Rovers boss has gone on to consolidate Doncaster’s position in the npower Championship. Over the first two seasons in the second tier, Rovers achieved 14th and 12th placed finishes, before injuries took their toll on the side this past season. Despite having fourteen first-team players out at one point of the season, O’Driscoll still managed to guide to Championship safety, six points clear of the bottom three come the end of the campaign.

Manager Andy Scott is hoping to conclude his ﬁrst signing as Millers boss shortly after conﬁrming individual meetings have taken place with potential new recruits. Scott has been busy behind the scenes indentifying targets for his new look Rotherham United side and this week revealed that talks with possible new signings are moving along at pace. “I have spoken with agents and had individual meetings with several players and I am hopeful of concluding one or two very soon,” Scott admitted exclusively on Millers Player earlier this week. “Players are obviously going away at this time but we are talking to their agents and offering them deals. Until they come back from their holidays we wont know for sure but the news is pretty encouraging on a couple of players. Now that everyone is aware who is being released and who is available the intensity increases so it is a very busy time.” Scott also revealed on Millers Player that he expects Dale Tonge and Jason Taylor to re-sign shortly, whilst deals are on the table for Ryan Taylor, Nicky Law, Jamie Annerson and Ollie Banks, who have longer to decide on their contracts because they are under 24. There is a full interview with Andy Scott on his movement in the transfer market on Millers Player now.

McCABE LOOKS TOWARDS YOUTH BLADES NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

Kevin McCabe is looking for United’s next generation from the Academy to become first-team players next season and says they can be inspired by newly appointed player-coach Chris Morgan. The United owner said: “I would hope to see a good number of players from the Academy in the firstteam squad but it is difficult to put a number on that at the moment. “Undoubtedly, though, there is now an expectation and remit where these youngsters must become firstteam players unless they aren’t good enough, but we aren’t going to waste talent like we perhaps have in years gone by. “I spoke to Chris (Morgan) a few weeks and he is still in the rehab stage of recovering from a serious injury, but with him taking his badges he has got the qualities to become a good coach and he is a talisman for this club, a great leader and a tremendous captain. “He is desperate to be a player next season but he can be an inspiration for these youngsters and help them progress and learn the game more quickly so that is an important role. For him to get more involved in the coaching setup now is a big plus point.”

KEEPER ANNERSON DAVID PRUTTON READY FOR BATTLE SIGNS NEW DEAL OWLS NEWS www.swfc.co.uk

Owls new recruit David Prutton is eagerly anticipating the on-field start of his S6 stint. The experienced midfielder agreed a two-year contract at Hillsborough on Tuesday, checking in with second summer capture Rob Jones. Prutton told Wednesday Player: “I have spoken to the manager and the chairman and I know Neil Thompson from being at Leeds. “Hillsborough is always somewhere you look forward to playing so to play here on a regular basis would be great. “The summer tends to be a bit of a free for all when it comes to different players going to different clubs so it’s nice to get this sorted. “This is fantastic and I am delighted to be here.” The 29-year-old brings a wealth of experience to the club having stored over 400 senior appearances through his career so far. And Prutton is confident he can take the positives of his past to benefit the immediate future of Wednesday. He added: “It will be nice to implement the good things you have learned. As you get older you try and iron out the things that aren’t as productive or helpful. “I am honest, hard working and a good Yorkshire crowd appreciates hard work, which is a prerequisite. “You’d like to think you’ve not gone through your career being the opposite of a wallflower but being able to say your bit and contribute to the team and aid any kind of success that the team has.”

MILLERS NEWS www.themillers.co.uk

Jamie Annerson has penned a new deal with the club after signing on the dotted line at Mangham House this afternoon, subject to FA and Football League ratification. The ‘keeper was one of six players to be offered fresh terms by Andy Scott at the end of last season, with the 22-year-old signing a two-year deal to stay with the club. After starting the campaign as understudy to regular number one Andy Warrington, the former England under-19 international forced his way into the side under new boss Andy Scott, and has been rewarded for some fine performances with an extended deal. “I am delighted to be extending my stay at the club,” Annerson exclusively told Millers Player. “When I got into the team towards the end of the season I didn’t want the season to end so hopefully I can hit the ground running for when we return for a tough pre-season. “The club have stood by me and offered me a two-year deal which on a personal note is very pleasing. Once I had broken into the team I really enjoyed it so I am hoping to push on and claim the number one spot again next season.” Annerson started the last six games between the sticks for the Millers and impressed, and the former Sheffield United stopper believes his run of games at the latter end of the campaign has been key to his development. “Obviously the more games you play your confidence grows,” he added. “Confidence is one of the most important aspects of being a ‘keeper and personally I think I showed that towards the end of last season.” Annerson signed for the Millers in 2009 after a previous loan spell in 2007 and played 13 games last season for the club in all competitions.

BELFASTʼS BIGGEST LOSE BEFORE SEASON ICE HOCKEY By Sarah Youle

The Belfast Giants have suffered possibly their biggest loss of 2011-12, before the season has even begun. Before the World Championships, Belfast had signed GB international Ben O’Connor. O’Connor, son of Sheffield Steelers ex-General Manager Mike, was a member of the Team GB side who returned from the Championships with a silver medal, and was one of the leading scorers during the tournament. However, his performance drew the attention of a team from Kazakhstan, who made him an offer far larger than his deal with the Giants, indeed, it is reported, larger than the salary of any Giants player in EIHL history. The Giants graciously released O’Connor on the condition that, should he return to play top-flight UK hockey in the next two years, he returns to the Giants. Tickets are on sale for the Sheffield Steelers’ Festival of Hockey, which includes a shirt launch at the team’s brand new Meadowhall store (opening summer 2011) on August 25th, and a day of hockey on August 27th which will include junior games, a “Steelers Legends vs Cardiff Legends” game, and finishing in the evening with the Steelers and Cardiff Devils 2011-12 EIHL squads facing off for a friendly. “We’ll be releasing more information about the Festival of Hockey over the coming weeks,” Steelers owner Paul Ragan told the official website, “but we can guarantee the return of some big-name players, a good bit of socialising and some fantastic ice hockey over the course of the season’s launch.” Tickets are priced at £5 for children, £20 for concessions, £25 for adult season ticket holders and £30 for adult non-season ticket holders. All prices (with the exception of children’s tickets) will increase by £5 for on-the-day walk-up prices. Tickets are available from the Motorpoint Arena box office (0114 256 56 56).

The Burton Street Foundation

Everyone Has a Part to Play in the OPEN DAY on Tuesday 7th June Breathing new life into a set of Sheffield’s most famous buildings When Mr Innocent, the city architect, designed the new Board School on Burton Street in Hillsborough in 1879 he could have had no idea what the future would hold. The sturdy set of Victorian buildings were to serve as a school for almost 100 years. Many thousands of Sheffield children learned their 3rs. Two world wars, the school was on Hitler’s bombing list, and century that saw a social and technological revolution passed. Until, in 1976, the school bell rang for the last time. The site was put to other uses finally ending it’s days as Langsett Music School before it was declared redundant and scheduled for demolition. That was when the local community

stepped in with a campaign to save the site. Judging it was easier to ask forgiveness than ask permission the old school was occupied and its new life as a community centre began. The Langsett Foundation , now The Burton street Foundation, held its first Annual General Meeting in 1998 and soon Burton Street School was full of life once more. Over the next few years the site got ever busier. A staring role in The Full Monty was a real boost but it would be two important decisions that would secure the future. The first was to begin working with adults with learning and physical difficulties, something for which Burton Street now has a national reputation, and the second was to purchase the buildings from Sheffield City Council, at a generous discount in 2004. But the buildings were in a very poor state of repair. In 2008 a survey suggested that £3million would be needed to sort out all the problems. The Trustees, staff, members, tenants and an army of friends and volunteers all supported by the Adventure Capital Fund and South Yorkshire Key fund, secured £1.3 million in grants and loans from the

Community Builders Fund and a further loan from Charity Bank. Work Started in March 2010 and was completed at the end of May 2011. So what has been achieved? Well a great set of well loved and architecturally important buildings has been saved and given a sustainable future but then there is so much more. Over 180 adults and older children with learning and physical difficulties enjoy our services and activities every week. Fifty jobs have been safeguarded and we continue to expand. Twenty small businesses and voluntary organisations have workspace or offices. Over 1000 people use our facilities every week to dance, play music, play sport, learn a new skill or just socialise and ,of course, over £1million pounds has been invested in Sheffield’s economy providing jobs in construction and supporting local business. Why not come down and try the Café, the Gym, the Beauty Salon ,the Hairdresser. Book a party or a function, visit the restaurant, join a sports club, play some music, dance, There really is something for everyone because at Burton Street we believe everyone has a part to play.
