space, meeting rooms a physiotherapist and offices into which the Sheffield & Hallamshire FA will relocate, having outgrown the current premises down in Kelham Island.

Every effort has been made to take into account concerns of local residents with a new entrance from Moss Way being constructed, deviating traffic away from the houses around Westfield Crescent.

Funding for the community project is expected to come from grants via The Football Association, The Football Foundation, Sport England

and the Rugby Football Union plus some capital from the County FA due to the sale of their current premises. Naming rights and sponsorship opportunities will also be considered option.

James Hope-Gill, S&HCFA chief executive, said: “Sport is important to local people and brings fun, challenge and competition, as well as opportunities for social interaction as part of leisure activities.

“It is essential the site becomes the hub of the community not only for footballing activities but also by groups who are not

involved in football, both young and old.

“Access to sports facilities or services that meet local needs positively influence the community’s perceptions of their local area, particularly for children and young people.”

Arnie Hattersley, of Mosborough Miners Welfare, said: “The vision for the centre is to provide a sport facility for the whole community and at the same time use sport to deliver wider social outcomes of inclusion, crime reduction, health improvement, educational attainment and civic pride

Weekly Wit With...

ALBERT SNODGRASS

A duck goes into a furniture store and says ‘got any duck food?’

The guy at the counter says, ‘sorry, we don’t sell duck food’. The little duck walks out.

The next day, same duck, same guy. ‘Got any duck food?’ ‘Sorry little duck, I told you yesterday, no duck food here. ‘ The duck walks out. Next day, again, ‘got any duck food?’ The guy says ‘No! we don’t sell duck food! and if you come in here again I’m gonna nail your feet to the floor!’

The duck walks out. next day, duck walks in. ‘Got any nails? ‘ The guy says ‘what?... no, Why?’. ‘...got any duck food?’

It’s Saint Patrick’s day and an armed hooded robber bursts into the Bank of Ireland and forces the tellers to load a sack full of cash. On his way out the door with the loot one brave Irish customer grabs the hood and pulls it off revealing the robber’s face.

The robber shoots the man without hesitation.

He then looks around the bank to see if anyone else has seen him. One of the tellers is looking straight at him and the robber walks over and calmly shoots him dead.

Everyone by now is very scared and looking down at the floor.

“Did anyone else see my face?” screams the robber.

There is a few moments of silence then one elderly Irish gent, looking down, tentatively raises his hand and says, “I think me wife here may have caught a glimpse.”

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, ‘How old was your husband?’

‘98,’ she replied, ‘Two years older than me’ ‘So you’re 96,’ the undertaker commented.

She responded , ‘Hardly worth going home, is it?

round-up by stuart renton

I really need to get Torchwood off my chest.

Rarely does a show underwhelm so superbly, yet Torchwood managed to tick all the wrong boxes.

The sci-fi show wasn’t even 80’s B movie quality; the acting was appalling, the script terrible, the story confusing. Actually, hold everything, what story?

Torchwood’s meagre tale was painfully scraped out over ten weeks and could quite easily have been summarised on the back of a postage stamp. This was, without a doubt, the worst thing to plague our screens since they decided to put Keith Lemon and Stacey Solomon together on BBC1.

I thought we had moved away from two bit scripts and into a realm where television was insightful, interesting and witty. What we had with Torchwood was a format where John Barrowman got to sleep with blokes in a soft porn format. Now, I’m all for material for the ‘gentleman’s hour’ (guys, you know what I’m talking about) but let’s leave that outside of sci-fi, thanks!

But, of all the things that baffle me; of all the unfathomable questions in the universe, one still plagues me. Exactly HOW did people enjoy this show? Are they so starved of good TV that they’ll watch anything with the Torchwood label on it?

Because, I simply couldn’t find anything fun or interesting in any of the ten episodes, which, if you didn’t watch, culminated in the Torchwood team discovering a giant lady “hoo haa” deep underground.

That’s right: the thing causing people to live forever was a massive pink “lady part”! It’s crazy what depravities must be floating around writer, Russell T Davis’ mind (I hear he’s a bit of a tyrant. One only need mention ‘Head Writer’ to find half the production staff go down on both knees – apparently some people will do anything to get a “job” at the BBC!) After setting the bar so very low, I really hope that’s the end of Torchwood and the insipid storylines, John Barrowman, and especially the dreary one-liner churning Eve Myles. After having to sit through ten hours of the most random, pointless, and poorly acted storylines on Earth, I could probably face an Eastenders marathon with great gusto. Clearly, one can toss off any old script and get it made into a series if you’ve previously written for Doctor Who. There are far superior shows that have been cancelled for far less and If Torchwood ever sees the light of day again, I’ll… I’ll… Well, I’ll probably be writing about it here (only I’ll be even crosser!).

Right. That’s me done. And I’m spent… I think I’ll go watch something to take off the taint! I hear they’re doing a Don’t Scare the Hare marathon on Gold TV. Well, anything’s better than Torchwood!

STEPHEN MERCHANT

Emmy, BAFTA and Golden Globe award winning co-creator of BBC’s The Office and Extras, Stephen embarks on his first ever stand-up comedy tour.

Stephen said: ‘Most people don’t realise that I was a stand-up comedian before I met Ricky Gervais and his coat-tails. Life can be lonely as a TV writer so this tour is a great opportunity for me to get out there and meet my fans. And make at least one of them my wife.’

“People have asked me if I get upset when a critic writes a nasty review of one of my TV shows.

Frankly, when you’ve died on your arse in front of 300 people in a room in Exeter, some bloke being snipey in a broadsheet is nothing.

I first did stand-up comedy in Bristol in a room above a pub in 1997. I did five minutes and it went brilliantly. I came back a month later with exactly the same act and left the stage in silence.

For years that was my regular experience of standup: raising the roof off one evening, only for the next show to fizzle out like a damp firework.

In 1998 I was finalist in the Daily Telegraph Open Mic Awards but I didn’t win.

I carried on performing intermittently over the next few years and in 2001 spent a few weeks at the Edinburgh Festival doing a stand-up show alongside Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Carr and Robin Ince. It was called Rubbernecker and it was good… so I immediately stopped doing stand-up for seven years.

I can’t really remember why, probably because it was stressful and a lot of hard work and I got busy doing TV stuff.

Recently I have started doing stand-up again in little clubs around London. I’m getting better at it all the time and when I have a show I want people to see, I’ll let you know.

Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

Questions and Answers about the Paranormal Q. What is an Orb? A. An Orb is psychic residual energy indicating that a spirit has been in the area. Orbs are mainly seen on digital cameras, often around birthdays and anniversaries.

Q. My daughter passed over 2 years ago with cancer. Since then a little red Robin often sits on my window sill. Is this significant?

A. I believe that little red Robins are God’s messengers. Many times when I have felt down and wished that my Granny would give me a sign she is around a little Robin Redbreast has appeared on my fence. So I would say ‘yes,’ it is your daughter sending you a message that she is okay. Did you know the red breasted Robin was chosen by Christ to be his messenger because Christ’s blood dripped onto the Robin’s chest?

NEWS & INFORMATION

ISSUE

FIRST PRIZE FOR CITY CONSULTATION TO BREATHE NEW LIFE WIDE ALARMS Mark Johnson, CWA INTO CITYʼS OPEN Sheffield City Council’s City Wide Care Alarms (CWCA) service has worked with SPACES Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) in a pilot scheme that has won first prize at a prestigious national award ceremony.

The Clinical Leaders Network presented the award for the development of innovative processes which provides the best possible customer service and ultimately helps to improve their quality of life.

The pilot started at the beginning of the year when CWCA teamed up with Leeds Care Ring and the YAS, to improve the appropriateness of medical responses to customers, helping to ensure they got the right help, first time, as quickly as possible.

CWCA monitoring staff visited 999 ambulance control centres and received detailed briefings from the specially trained nurses and paramedics in the YAS clinical hub. This enabled them to review the systems used to determine which response was the most appropriate and in the customer’s best interests.

Using this information Sheffield developed two new pathways for calls – one for falls and one for medical problems.

These aimed to: • reduce inappropriate 999 referrals – freeing up ambulances for life threatening emergencies • reduce unnecessary trips to accident and emergency and other admissions to hospital, allowing more customers to be treated in their own home • utilise the response facilities available in the community, particularly around falls The new processes have proved a hit allowing staff more flexibility when dealing with calls. By assessing the customers medical needs, the number of direct 999 ambulance calls dropped by 26%, and many customers were seen by their own doctor in the comfort of their home.

Overall the pilot has received very positive feedback and has been judged such a success in Sheffield that the activity is now part of CWCA normal working.

It has not stopped there - Sheffield are now looking to work with Leeds Care Ring and the YAS on developing at facility for three way conference calls, so the customer, the monitoring centre staff and the YAS clinical advisor can all talk directly to one another.

Sheffield is famous across the globe for its award winning open spaces. Now a new consultation focuses on expanding the city’s green credentials in and around the city centre.

Residents are being encouraged to have their say on proposals to improve and expand city centre open spaces.

Councillor Helen Mirfin - Boukouris, Cabinet Member for Business, Jobs and Growth at Sheffield City Council said: “Sheffield now has more people living in its city centre. It is clear that the city centre living expands so too does the need to provide open spaces for residents to enjoy.

The Council is holding a number of consultation events to get the views of local residents over the next month.

The Draft City Centre Breathing Spaces Strategy Interim Planning Guidance gives a clear vision of how the council will improve and expand City Centre open spaces.

Specifically, the document aims to provide: • a clear explanation of the City Centre Open Space Strategy • how the Council intends a more robust and transparent prioritisation of open space projects in the City Centre; • a programme for their delivery including the current projects under way and provide options for new ones and • a more efficient way of using S106 funding / future planning gains to focus on key priorities in the future The council is looking for views on the Strategy and to know what residents think are the priorities for future open space are in the City Centre. A public consultation takes place between Tuesday 20th September and Tuesday 11th October with a series of events as well as a copy of the Draft Strategy being available at the Central Library throughout.

Anyone who can’t attend a consultation event in person can download the Draft Strategy, display materials and a copy of the questionnaire at www.sheffield.gov. uk/breathing-spaces-strategy and email comments or feedback to citydevelopment@ sheffield.gov.uk The strategy will be considered by Cabinet in late November 2011.

One of the events is an exhibition at Sheffield’s Central Library Foyer, Surrey Street, Sheffield, S1 1XZ , on Wednesday, 28 September, 11am – 7pm. The Display Boards will stay up at the Central Library from Wednesday 28 September until Saturday 8 October

NEW GOVERNMENT GUIDANCE ON MINICABS TO GIVE VOLUNTEERS AND CARE WORKERS A SMOOTHER RIDE

people will be able to get on with their vital activities, without the hassle or cost of getting a minicab licence.

Groups the Government considers should be exempt from licensing their vehicle are: • Private ambulances, including emergency vehicles and vehicles which operate as part of a formal patient transport service; • Volunteers who share their car or provide lifts as part of their voluntary duties; • Care and support worker services, including those who care for adults in their own homes, in community settings or in residential or nursing care homes; Colin Angel, Head of Policy and Communication at the UK Homecare Association, said, “We warmly welcome the Department for Transport guidance. It is an unnecessary burden to ask homecare workers to apply for a minicab licence. We hope that councils will agree that these infrequent trips help elderly and disabled people maintain their independence and quality of life, and are not a cab service.”

http://www.dft.gov.uk/news/press-releases/ dft-press-20110803-2

Volunteers, childminders and care workers should be freed from the unnecessary and costly process of being licensed as minicabs following guidance published by the Transport Minister.

Changes to the minicab licensing laws in 2006 mean that some councils have been classing people like care workers - who assist elderly people in their homes, as minicab drivers. The new guidance makes it clearer which vehicles the Government believes need minicab licences – and those that do not, removing the burden on Local Authorities of licensing vehicles unnecessarily.

Transport Minister Norman Baker said: “Clearly carers getting people to the doctor are not minicab drivers. I hope that by publishing this new guidance today these

AWARD SPONSORS People Proud to be Supportin g Clubland

Gee Vee

Travel HAVE YOU VOTED YET? With only a couple of weeks to go before voting closes, the race for the Clubland Awards 2011 is really warming up!

After a steady stream over the summer, by post, email and text, we have seen a rush of late votes as the deadline approaches, and competition is fierce in all the categories!

This year’s Gala Awards Show takes place on Thursday 27th October at Crookes Club, and we are delighted to announce that Look North’s Harry Gration will be hosting the presentation ceremony.

It’s always a fantastic night’s entertainment, with many of the winners performing cameo spots alongside specially invited guest artists!

Tickets are now available from the Mercury (0114 2763701) for only £8.00 – tremendous value!

Just to give you a taster of what to expect, we are giving you some details of the front runners so far in each category:

Best Male Vocalist There’s along list of challengers to last year’s winner Thomas Marx, with Tristan Drew, Steve Stephenson, Dani, Richard “Woody” Daniels and Aaron James all featuring regularly on the voting forms.

Best Female Vocalist Probably the most fiercely contested of all the categories, it would take the whole page to list all the nominations so far! Pushing Sara Daniels amongst others are – Amelia Davis, Katya, Leanne Green, Bubbles, Sarah Kidman, BB Dell, Karen Kristian, Sara Pollin – the list just goes on and it’s very very close – so your vote may be the one that decides the winner!

Best Duo/Trio Holders Dance Nation are up against some stiff competition this year – girl duo Freshly Squeezed have been busy all year in a series of charity events, covering the whole region, and their vote so far reflects how hard they have been working for good causes. Honourable mentions also in this category go to 2Flex, Candyshop, Brotherhood, CK2 and Top Secret, who are all attracting support from the audiences Best Vocal Group With the disbanding of 2010 champions The Fantastics, this category is wide open! Halo, Harlem

Knights, the Manhattans and Mens’ Club are all in the running here.

Best Live Band Could this be the year that reigning champions One Way lose their crown? Last year’s Best newcomers, Tytania, continue to pull in the votes, and there is heavy support for The Crashers, Dan Knight’s Storm, CoAst and Electra.

Best Tribute Act A new category in 2010, Complete Madness are trying hard to hold on to their title – but face stiff competition from Electra (again!), Carl Taylor (Pavarotti), Davy Nicholls (Michael Buble) and several others- including Lee Lard, famous for his Peter Kaye tribute.

Best All Round Entertainer Former winner Gary Phillips is chasing Ricky K hard in the battle of previous winners, whilst Kayla Kavanagh, Elli Gent and Gigglebox lead the charge of the new nominees!

Best Comedy Act We would be worried if the name of Jimmy Carol didn’t appear on voting forms every year! As always, he features prominently but faces a range of challengers – with Gaz Martin’s Gigglebox, Lee Lard, Terry Cottam, Grant Saunders all to be mentioned as likely contenders!

PETS ARE PALS The Spirit of Lincolnshire Coac

hes

Best Newcomer In a busy Clubland year, it is interesting that one act has stood out on the circuit in a real breakthrough year – so we aren’t going to spoil the surprise in this category! Watch the Mercury for further details.

Remember – there is still plenty of time for an act we haven’t mentioned to make a run for the line – if your favourite isn’t in the list then get your vote in!

And in many categories, the voting is so close that one or two entries can make the difference – so don’t leave it to chance if you want to see an act on the stage in October.

Many thanks to the companies who have sponsored the individual award categories, and of course Stones Brewery for their ongoing support of our Awards over the years!

INTERVIEW:VIVA BROTHER

by KT Evans

INTERVIEW: FRANK TURNER

by KT Evans

‘We have no regrets…’ explains Leonard Newell, lead vocalist of the British pop-rock five piece Viva Brother. Having stormed their way onto the UK music scene within the early part of 2011, the controversial group have graced front pages of music magazines across the country with their outlandish remarks and brutally honest comments, resulting in not only one of the most talked about indie bands on the circuit, but also one which has tasted huge chart success. ‘…it’s all part of growing up.’

Contrary to the somewhat derogatory belief that Viva Brother relish in catty behaviour, the snappy dressed, tidy five piece pretty much blew the hype out the window. Yes they have an air of arrogance around them…that comes with a UK top forty charting album in August 2011, however since their infamous NME interview ‘…that went down like a conga at a funeral!’ Viva Brother seem to have grown up and extracted the best out of their hugely talked about entrance. ‘People have been accusing us recently that we’re dodging the fact that we’re influenced by oasis. Obviously we like them, they’re good, but we’re not totally influenced by them…Chesney Hawkes was good,’ is about as bitchy as we can fuel, an indication to the progression of Viva Brother.

Already on their UK September 2011 tour, the band are once again back on the road seeing them grace venues in Newcastle, London and Sheffield’s Leadmill on 24th September. With nothing but praise to speak of for Sheffield, ‘We had a really good gig in Sheffield actually… it’s up there, for crowd reaction,’ the tour marks a close to a hugely successful year for the group. Having supported The Streets in March 2011, headlining Derbyshire’s recent Y-Not Festival and a top spot on the Festival Republic Stage at Leeds and Reading, Viva Brother have gained fans both on a national aswell as international scale. ‘We’re really big in Japan, it’s quite weird! We’ve got the headline tour in September then touring the states a lot. We’ll be writing then releasing something hopefully at the end of next year…another album.’

Following on from their debut album ‘Famous Last Words’ in August 2011, Viva Brother snapped themselves a number thirty seven place on the UK charts, officially confirming the band as a serious newcomer within the British indie music scene.

Speaking of ‘…changing, exciting times’ for the future of UK music, Leonard explains, ‘It’s not bad, it’s getting better. A year ago it was pretty dyer, but within the last few months it’s started to change for the better.’ This is certainly the case. With the music industry now more diverse and in expansion more than it has in many years, band such as Viva Brother are given opportunities they, historically would not have been granted. ‘(Leeds Festival) is really good for smaller bands aswell, because they’re given a chance where they probably wouldn’t be in other festivals.’

Viva Brother play Sheffield’s Leadmill this Saturday.

For details see www.leadmill.co.uk for ticket purchase.

The music industry can be a poisonous instrument. On an ever infrequent basis, it can quickly turn people who have tasted chart success into arrogant villains, allowing them a taste of stardom they now so longingly crave. This is exactly what Frank Turner is not. Friendly, downto-earth and genuinely honest, the Winchester born folk-rock star has avoided the ‘cock-sure’ cliché and allowed himself to stay true to his music. Whilst at this year’s Leeds Festival 2011, we caught up with the main stage star, who not only had his weekend’s performance to look forward to, but also a full world tour in the bag aswell. Jealous…us…never!

‘Playing is my favourite thing in the whole world… we’ve finally made it on the main stage!’ And it’s clear from the excitement in his voice, this is certainly the case. Although only starting out his journey in 2006, the twenty-nine year old has a whole host of career highlights to show for it already. Four studio albums under his belt, which contain singles that charted within the UK chart top 100, along with a string of guest vocal appearances and collaborations, Turner has built up to play at this year’s main stage at Leeds and Reading Festival.

‘We’ve played at Reading and Leeds for five consecutive years, so it’s great to finally be laying on the main stage…I’m so proud of it!’

Like any other teenager growing up, Turner was a foregone festival attendee, however contributing to the Leeds/Reading rivalry, the acoustic songster reveals ‘…the crowds at Leeds are rowdier, which makes it better because more people are up for a laugh.’ (1-0 to Leeds!) ‘…but I went to Reading 1995 and grew up going there, so I think my heart lies in Reading…’ (We’ll call that even then!)

Famed for its general Northern attitude and let-loose nature, Leeds Festival has a somewhat scarier vibe attached it to…can’t think why. It’s not as though people are going round slashing and burning tents on the final Sunday night…no, not at all! Having said this however, the stigma attached hasn’t stopped performers like Turner allow himself to get hyped up to play. ‘We’re all really excited to be here again this year. Leeds, Reading and Glastonbury are massive festivals.’

So what does the future hold in store for Mr Turner?

Put it this way, we thought we were busy! ‘Festival season wraps up, then the tour starts. Although festivals are fun, its hard to get a rhythm going, it can be a bit unsettling, whereas when you’ve got eighty shows in a row it’s get up, do them and you’re done. We’ve got a world tour starting in Ireland and then goes to America twice, Europe twice, UK, Japan, Australia, China…I can’t wait to get out.’

Frank Turner will be playing the Manchester Apollo on 26th November. For all info, check out his official website (www.frank-turner.com) for all details.

infamous live shows and dynamic, non-formulaic approach to writing songs.

Within six months of the band’s existence they had attracted the attention of UMBRO sportswear who had asked for permission to use the bands anthemic track, “Friday Nights” as the score for an international commercial for the company’s “Bring It On” marketing campaign. This immediately opened doors at an international level seeing MySpace views, requests for material and touring schedules increase significantly.

Rather than buckling under the pressure the band quickly entered the studio to record their self-titled debut E.P. Instead of quenching the fan base’s insatiable appetite the E.P created a snowball effect, with Pistola Kicks being played across the air waves from Singapore to the States. The release most notably entered into a Canadian and North American college radio chart at number 13 in between major players Kasabian and Ash. A number of high profile support slots and headline gigs later Pistola Kicks received a formal request from the Singapore National Arts Council to perform at the opening festivities for the 2010 Youth Olympics.

Not content with resting on their laurels, the boys have recently started performing the highly acclaimed “Los Pepe sessions” in addition to their touring schedule. A concept born out of what was “the idea to perform and instil the essence, thoughts

and motives of every second of a song into the receivers head in an attempt to maybe plug into their lives”. The means of which consist of playing stripped back, acoustic sets to intimate venues across the U.K. These sessions have seen the band perform in accompaniment of their in house string section in delivering different approaches on conveying both specially written material and their set classics.

Their self made success aside, Pistola Kicks are something of an enigma; their experimental and unpredictable sound is paired with uncompromising melodies and hooks, a phenomenon that even gets front man Joe Moran thinking; “The singer and musician in me are constantly at odds with each other. The musician strives to push boundaries; to gain some higher ground in such a saturated genre, yet the singer wants to express and create a melody people can relate to and follow. Somehow it works.

If people want to come to our shows and lose control they can, if they want to listen and sing along they can” The band pride themselves in their DIY work ethic, the fact that they do not rely upon the resources of a record label has failed to slow them down. Kicking off a busy schedule during the 2011’s festival period with a headline appearance on the Sound City stage at the Rockness Festival (Scotland). Pistola Kicks will be bringing the summer to an end with the release of the first of several new singles launched at Sheffield’s Plug with friends “Starlings” in support.

Angler’s Corner

by Clint Walker

I drove home from work the other evening in the dark for the first time this year….It marks the start of autumn, and for many, a complete change of angling tactics. Personally, I will be trying to land a bigger pike (my pb is around 7lbs, an accidental capture on bright yellow pop up boilie!) and some monster perch which are a favourite of mine.

It also marks the beginning of the ‘show’ season when events such as the prestigious Tackle & Gun show visits Stoneleigh Park to showcase everything new which will be available to suppliers and retailers during the coming months. It’s a show I enjoy, and one at which many useful contacts are made. My last visit resulted in interesting discussions with Lewis Read, Marketing Manager for Gardner Tackle who subsequently supplied lots of items for review and inspection, and Roy Marlow, an extremely well respected match angler now with Japanese giant Marukyu who gave me some astounding insights into just what goes into a modern day bait; did you know that Marukyu have access to over 600 ingredients??! No, I didn’t either until I met Roy……

I also got to queue for lunch with the eclectic Johnny Kingdom who as I’m sure you know presents his own television shows which beautifully portray the flora and fauna of his native Exmoor. To say he was entertaining is an understatement and the experience is one I’d love to repeat again!

What really makes the show complete though is the sheer number of retailers, suppliers, wholesalers and others who attend over the two days to sample all that is good about the buoyant angling trade; as ever, I’m looking forward to going, and I may be in company with Simon Pomeroy, MD at Pallatrax who has asked me to attend as a company representative for the very first time.

This week has seen some relative excitement when I’ve been out and about. Earlier this week, I set off for a session at Cudmore Fishery to research a short article for a website; sadly, after an hour’s (fishless) dangling, three ‘gentlemen’ from Manchester, who, despite having the whole of the lake and available pegs to choose from, decided to sit right next to me and cast directly across my lines! I don’t really ‘do’ conflict, but after a few choice words, I decided that I would prefer to spend my remaining time at a nearby lake in search of a particular 40lbs+ carp.

I spent a considerable part of the next two hours firmly lodged atop a 30’ tall tree with my polarisng glasses on watching as the big fish slowly cruised between lily beds; great stuff! I had been aware of an unusual ‘phut’ noise between gusts of wind, and after closer examination, spotted two youths crouched in the undergrowth on the far bank; they were shooting at me with an air rifle! I had heard rumours of a phantom shooter, but to have it confirmed was somewhat of a shock! Needless to say, once seen, they didn’t hang around and quickly scarpered, but the hazards of angling never cease to amaze me!

Racing Form

by Timelord

This weekend’s TV racing comes from Newmarket, Market Rasen and Haydock. At Newmarket there is the Cambridgeshire Handicap over nine furlongs, the first leg of the annual bookies’ benefit – the Autumn Double – that impossible to land bet that makes them very rich.

However there are better races than the Cambridgeshire on the card in the Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes (2yo colts and geldings, 1 mile), the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes (2yo fillies, 6 furlongs) and the Group 1 Sun Chariot Stakes (fillies and mares, 1 mile). These three more than make up for the lottery that is the Cambridgeshire.

The Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes at 2.05 looks wide open at first glance. Roger Varian’s unbeaten Ektihaam looks sure to have his supporters as do Trumpet Major, Miblish, Fencing and Farhaan.

However the two I prefer are Brian Meehan’s aptly named Most Improved and Aidan O’Brien’s hattrick seeking Wrote who won a £16,000 Galway handicap last time out by two lengths. The form of that race looks strong and provided he travels over satisfactorily he could take all the beating. Most Improved can chase him home.

In the Jaguar Cars Cheveley Park Stakes at 2.35 I reckon that Richard Hannon’s unbeaten filly Best Terms can continue her progress and should prevail.

She beat a few of these comfortably in the Lowther at York and I see no reason why she should not be able to land her first Group 1 on the way to what looks like being a notable career. My top rated filly Fire Lily chased her home in the Lowther and although I like this one quite a bit I cannot envisage her being able to turn the form around. Lightening Pearl ran well to land the Group 3 Round Tower Stakes by 5 lengths at The Curragh last time out and looks the biggest danger to the selection.

The Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes at 3.10 sees a clash of three horses seeking four timers and several highly thought of others in an interesting battle of the generations. The 3yo couple of Alanza and Nahrain are two of those seeking a four timer and who is to say that they can’t do it? They are both likely to perform well but need to improve again on what they have achieved so far. The other one in search of this feat, but one who has already won at this level, is Dermot Weld’s 4yo Emulous who just about noses ahead in my selection stakes. She won the Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown by 3 lengths last time out and, barring a defeat in her seasonal pipe-opener, is unbeaten in her last five races. She has a most progressive profile and can continue on her upward curve here. Of the rest I like John Dunlop’s 3yo Beatrice Aurore and of the older brigade I like Sahpresa, Strawberrydaiquiri and Music Show.

The Cambridgeshire Handicap at 3.50 is probably going to be this week’s Scoop6 buster. This is an almost impossible race to solve and therefore any selection can only be tentative. As I write this piece there are still 95 entries in the book with a maximum field of 35. Of those in the top 35 at present (and therefore certain to get a run if connections decide to do so) I most like the chances of the two hat-trick seeking 6yos, Stevie Thunder and Albaqaa, with a definite preference for the former. Top weight Distant Memories is always a danger and so is the admirably consistent Pintura. Of those out of the handicap at present but could go well if they got in are: Tinshu; Emerald Wilderness and Carragold. However the last shot on this is that the race is a nightmare so minimum stakes (if any) is the order of the day.

Market Rasen has a couple of televised Listed races to offer.

The 2.20 Totescoop 6 Prelude Hurdle Handicap can go to David O’Meara’s Viva Colonia who is in fine fettle at present and may land the hat-trick here.

However the race is very competitive and it won’t be easy for the selection who is not a certainty by any means. Those of the others that also have good chances in my book are: Tarkari; Oldrik; Australia Day; Sweet World; Alazan; Rajnagan; Rampant Ronnie and Sansili. With so many dangers you need a decent price about the selection before lumping on so be careful.

The 2.50 from Market Rasen is the Totepool Prelude Handicap Chase, another Listed race. The selection is Keith Reveley’s 8yo gelding Benny Be Good who is another hat-trick seeking horse and is my top rated.

He won a £10,000 handicap by seven lengths last time out and does not look to me to have any more to do here. The main dangers are probably the top weighted David Pipe’s Qulinton and Nigel Twiston-Davies’ Mad Moose (seeking a four timer here), although the lightly weighted trio No Panic, I’m A Legend and Life of a Luso may all be dangerous as well. In a wide open contest the selection looks to have as good a chance as any.

The remaining televised race to cover is the 3.20 from Haydock, the Sports360.co.uk Lester Piggott “Start to Finish” Handicap – another Scoop 6 buster if ever I saw one. With a maximum field of 16 the current 36 entries have to be whittled down a lot yet. David Nicholls has multiple entries in Tax Free, Strike Up The Band and Fathom Five who would all have decent chances if running. Judge ‘N’ Jury is another with a good shout if getting a run. However the selection is Richard Price’s gelding Cheveton a course and distance winner in the past who won the Ayr Silver Cup last weekend and looks to be on good terms with himself at present.

Selections Summary: Newmarket: 2.05 Wrote 2.35 Best Terms (Nap) 3.10 Emulous 3.50 Stevie Thunder Market Rasen: 2.20 Viva Colonia 2.50 Benny Be Good Haydock: 3.20 Cheveton

Millers and Rovers News & Reviews 2011/12

MILLERS NEWS 2011/12 MILLERS FORFEIT LEAD MATCH REPORT www.themillers.co.uk Rotherham United twice forfeited a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Torquay United at Plainmoor.

Lewis Grabban opened the scoring in the third minute, and the summer signing also scored the Millers’ third with an excellent finish. Skipper Ryan Cresswell netted the Millers’ second with a bullet header from a corner. The Millers were 2-0 and 3-1 up, but a strong finish to the first half got the home side back into the game, before they equalised in the second period. Despite chances for both sides to win it, neither side could find the net.

Andy Scott named the same team that earned a point at Accrington Stanley on Tuesday night.

A positive start by the Millers resulted in a half chance for Alex Revell on two minutes. Marcus Marshall dinked in a cross from the right but Revell’s header from 12 yards looped over Bobby Olejnik’s crossbar.

That proved to be a warning sign for the home side when the Millers took the lead on three minutes. A shot from distance from Gareth Evans deflected into the path of Grabban who rounded the ‘keeper, and threaded the ball into the net from a tight angle.

The Millers were rampant and went in search of second straight away. Marshall again the provider from the right but Evans’ header was deflected just wide. Then from the resulting corner Michael Raynes’ header flicked the outside of the far post.

The Millers were in total control and took full advantage of their dominance by doubling their lead on nine minutes.

A corner from Danny Schofield was deep to the back post where Cresswell headed firmly down and into the net beyond the scrambling Olejnik.

Despite the dominance, Torquay pulled one back two minutes later with their first attempt of the game. A cross

37

into the area was only cleared to the edge of the area where Billy Bodin controlled and lashed the ball past Logan from 20 yards.

On 20 minutes the Millers almost made it three in bizarre circumstances. Evans chased his own flick on down the left, and then skewed his cross towards goal which almost caught out Olejnik, who just flicked the ball away in the nick of time.

Torquay had rarely threatened since the goal until the 28th minute when Bodin again took aim from distance, but his shot flashed over Logan’s crossbar.

Evans was having plenty of joy down the left and on 34 minutes his deflected cross was brilliantly steered into the net by Grabban, who had made an intelligent run across the Torquay defender.

The Millers weren’t allowed to rest on their laurels and conceded again on 42 minutes. Kevin Nicholson was played in on goal but after his initial shot was saved by Logan, the ball bounced into the air and Nicholson reacted first, nodding into the unguarded net.

Within three minutes of the restart Torquay were level.

A long ball forward forced Cresswell to turn, but under pressure from Howe he stumbled, and his mistake allowed the robust striker to lift a neat finish over Logan.

On 70 minutes the Millers were fortunate to remain on level terms. Howe again used his strength to spin and play Bodin through on goal, who was brought down a foot outside the penalty area by Raynes. The home supporters claimed he was the last man, but referee Mr. Collins saw differently and Raynes escaped with a yellow card. Eunan O’Kane curled the resulting free kick well wide.

With 10 minutes remaining the Millers had their best chance since Howe’s equaliser. Grabban delivered a deep cross from the right which eventually found its way to substitute Ben Pringle, but the former Derby man’s half-volley flashed across the face of goal and wide.

In the last minute of normal time Bodin smashed the post for Torquay.

ROVERS NEWS 2011/12 ROVERS LOSE OUT AT READING MATCH REPORT www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

Reading got the game underway on a cloudy, showery afternoon. The Rovers, who had Sullivan in goal, with Martis and Barnes also starting the game, conceded a corner in the second minute but when the ball was played in a second time Sullivan caught well at the far post.

The home team continued to press and in the 6th minute a cross from the right by Church was met with a header from Leigertwood at close range that Sullivan tipped over for a corner. The Rovers gradually settled down and got more into the game and didn’t trouble the keeper but they did win a corner in the 24th minute when a quick break from his own half by Bennett, who played the ball out to Coppinger on the right, with his cross bringing the corner. Just past the half hour Church received on the left of the penalty area and had a clear sight of goal but Sullivan covered his post and easily pouched the shot. Minutes later Leigertwood was played in down the inside right channel but skewed his shot wide of the far post. Three minutes from the break, Tabb had a shot from the left that appeared to be creeping in at the far post but Sullivan got down full stretch to his left, couldn’t hold the ball and as a Reading player closed in the keeper swung his right leg round and kicked out for a corner. A minute later the home side came again through Church who had got away on goal but Friend chased him down and a fine last ditch tackle in the penalty area saved the day at the expense of a corner.

The Rovers kicked off but it was the home team who were soon on the attack. McAnuff put well wide from just inside the area and then another go from the same player was deflected for a corner.

Following this, however, a good move out of defence by the Rovers ended with Bennett on the left trying to curl the ball into the far top corner but putting well wide. Then, in the 52nd minute a high ball was played upfield from the home defence. It was allowed to bounce in the penalty area and Sullivan tried to punch it away under challenge but it fell at the feet of CHURCH who only had to run it into the empty net. The Rovers won a corner as they tried to hit back but nothing came of it. At the other end Mills had a crack from 25yards that Sullivan beat out and Hunt, following up, put over the bar from 6yards. Then, in the 59th minute, the Royals went further ahead when Mills put over a good cross from the left for LE FONDRE, unmarked ten yards from goal, to head into the bottom corner of the net. The Rovers were up against it now but tried hard to get their attacks going. In the 68th minute Coppinger put

over from the edge of the penalty area on the right and then a good build-up by the Rovers ended with a twenty five yarder from Coppinger going just wide with the keeper scrabbling to get across his goalline.

The Rovers tried hard to get something from the game in the last ten minutes but Reading were well in control, particularly in defence.

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2011/12 OWLS EDGE YEOVIL THRILLER MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

The Owls posted their first away win of the season on Saturday, with Gary Madine claiming his seventh goal in five games to settle a lively affair at Huish Park.

Wednesday opened the scoring through loan debutant David McGoldrick before Kieran Agard hit a quickfire brace - the first in controversial circumstances - to put the Glovers in front.

But the Owls hit back themselves with Julian Bennett coming off the bench to score his second goal of the season.

And Madine nodded the winner to extend his current purple patch and cement his place at the top of the League 1 goalscoring chart.

Gary Megson shuffled his pack, with Reda Johnson at left back, James O’Connor back in the engine room and an immediate debut for new recruit McGoldrick.

Wednesday started well, playing neat possession football, with Yeovil very much on the back foot during the early exchanges.

McGoldrick looked lively in the final third and was rewarded with his first goal for the club ten minutes in. Ben Marshall sent an accurate cross to the back post, where McGoldrick peeled from his marker to power home a close range header.

The Owls went on to resume control of the game - until the turning point of the half came on 25 minutes.

The referee stopped play to allow treatment for Paul Huntington with Wednesday in possession in their own half.

The game restarted with Luke Ayling returning the ball to the Owls with a

looped volley upfield but Agard was in hot pursuit of Rob Jones and the outrushing Richard O’Donnell.

O’Donnell and Jones collided just outside the box, leaving the Glovers’ forward to steal in and slot into an empty net.

Wednesday protestations lasted a full five minutes but the goal stood, and to compound matters, Jones left the field through injury.

Twelve minutes later, things went from bad to worse for the Owls. Alan O’Brien crossed into the danger zone from the left and Agard controlled neatly before drilling firmly past O’Donnell to edge Yeovil in front.

The game was turned on its head and the only sight of goal Wednesday had during the remainder of the first half was a Madine header that sailed over the crossbar just before the break.

The hosts began the second period brightly and ex-Owl Steve MacLean forced a fine save from O’Donnell a minute after the resumption.

The Owls responded with Johnson having a low shot cleared off the line by Edward Upson and Marshall brought a reflex save from Jed Steer.

But from the resulting corner, the visitors were level. Marshall’s delivery was a good one and Bennett was on hand to glance home into the far corner.

The Glovers pushed on, though, and MacLean again tested O’Donnell before the Owls hit the winner on 73 minutes, with Marshall again the provider.

The wideman aimed a pinpoint free kick into the six-yard box and Madine nodded a well-placed header into the back of the net to secure a deserved three points.

MEGSON SKIPPER HAILS TEAM LAUNCHES AWAY SCHEME VICTORY OWLS NEWS www.swfc.co.uk

GAFFERʼS REACTION www.swfc.co.uk

Wednesday boss Gary Megson was delighted with his side’s performance at Huish Park as the Owls picked up a 3-2 win over Yeovil.

Wednesday took the lead through new loan recruit David McGoldrick before Kieren Agard equalised in controversial circumstances.

Agard added a second before the interval but Megson praised the resolve of the visitors who fought back, as goals from Julian Bennett and Gary Madine swung the game back in Wednesday’s favour.

Megson said: “I’m more than pleased; I’m delighted with the manner that we won the points.

“I thought if anything at 1-0 up, we would be the team to score again, then of course the incident happened and they equalised.”

With the Owls in possession midway through the first half, play had stopped for an injury to Yeovil’s Paul Huntington.

The game resumed with a long ball back to Richard O’Donnell but Agard went in hot pursuit of the pass back and slotted home.

Megson continued: “I thought today was a good away performances and I don’t think they would have scored but for the manner that they did because we were so on top.

“We went in at half time 2-1 down and we said we desperately needed to score the next goal and thankfully we did.

“We know we are a threat from set pieces and Ben’s delivery was spot on today.

“We had an awful performance on Tuesday and our backs were against the wall at half time today, but we came through it.”

On new signing McGoldrick, Megson was pleased with his contribution on his debut for Wednesday.

“He’s got a decent pedigree, Megson said.

“He’s a good player and it was a great header for the goal. He and Gary Madine linked up well today.”

Clinton Morrison was not involved in the matchday squad at Yeovil and the Wednesday boss explained: “I sat down with Clinton and told him the position that we’re in. There has to be respect given to Clinton for what he has done in the game.

“I told him McGoldrick would be starting and that he wouldn’t be on the bench.

“There has been no animosity, we had a conversation and there is no problem between myself and Clinton “If there was a league table for rumours in L:eague 1, we’d be 14 points clear.”

Sheffield Wednesday captain Rob Jones has been encouraging people to ‘get on their bike’ to launch a sporting challenge.

The Owls captain along with BBC Look North’s sports reporter Tanya Arnold was helping Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust launch ‘12 for 12’.

The new scheme offers a series of monthly challenges for staff in the buildup to the London 2012 Olympics.

Jones took time out of training to visit SHSC’s Fulwood headquarters for the launch.

He took part in a Top Gear style competition against the clock to see how many revolutions they could complete in 60 seconds using n exercise-bike.

In the coming months, staff will be taking up sporting and outdoor activities, finishing in August 2012 to coincide with the final event of the Olympics.

The project comes following an NHS Health and Wellbeing Review which recommended key areas each NHS Trust should work on to improve health and wellbeing in the workplace.

SWFC Captain Rob Jones said: “The club and I are very happy to be backing the innovative 12 for 12 campaign.

“Sheffield Wednesday has worked in partnership with Sheffield’s NHS organisations on various healthy living programmes designed to benefit both our staff and supporters and will continue to work together both on this scheme and hopefully many more in the future.”

As well as the cycling challenge, staff will be encouraged to take up walking in October and hit the gym in November.

The Trust will be running stress reduction workshops in December and learning to eat well in January.

Employees will be encouraged to dance throughout February followed by months dedicated to swimming, the outdoors and improving work and life balance later in the year.

Sheffield Wednesday have signed Derby County goalkeeper Stephen Bywater on an emergency loan deal.

Bywater will stay at Hillsborough up to and inclusive of 17 December 2011.

The 30-year-old is a vastly experienced custodian who has posted 280 senior starts between the sticks so far.

He began his career as a trainee with Rochdale before joining West Ham United at just 16-years-old, progressing through the Upton Park ranks with the likes of Joe Cole and Michael Carrick.

Bywater enjoyed loan spells with Wycombe Wanderers, Hull City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Cardiff City and Coventry City whilst on the books of the Hammers.

The England Under-21 international signed for Derby in the summer of 2006 - initially on loan - and went on to become a key member of the Rams’ 2007 promotion-winning side to the Premiership.

He has also enjoyed temporary stints with Ipswich Town and Cardiff City as a Rams player.

Bywater will wear shirt number 43 for the Owls.

SHEFFIELD UNITED NEWS 2011/12 BLADES BOUNCE BACK AT HOME MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk

The Blades closed in on the summit in League One after boosting the goal difference column in the victory over Colchester United.

Ched Evans, Chris Porter and Stephen Quinn were all on target, whilst United also struck the woodwork three times in a convincing success.

Colchester, who came into the game on the back of a four game unbeaten run, were no match for the impressive Blades, who secured a sixth win in nine league games.

Evans and McDonald were handed starting positions with Cresswell and Flynn dropping to the bench. JeanFrancois was available again after suspension and was also amongst the substitutes.

A 4-4-2 system was manager Wilson’s preferred formation with Williamson switching to wide right to accommodate McDonald, whilst Evans, making his first start since early April, was a straight swap for Cresswell and partnered Porter for the first time.

Attacking the Bramall Lane end, United made a blistering start, particularly on the right, and won two corners in the opening three minutes - netting from the second.

Williamson’s delivery was partially cleared but McDonald and Porter both headed back into the danger area and EVANS had escaped his marker, managing to hook the ball beyond the exposed Cousins.

Colchester’s first corner caused

problems for the Blades but Okuonghae headed sideways when an attempt on goal may have been a better option and then Maguire cleared a cross from Odejayi, which was destined for Coker.

United weathered the mini-storm and added to the lead with the next serious attack. With 12 minutes gone, Collins delivered down the right channel and Evans purposefully held the attentions of Heath, allowing PORTER to advance on goal unopposed before he chipped over Cousins.

Despite the 2-0 advantage, referee Deadman had already made a couple of unpopular decisions with the home fans when he made another on 20 minutes, awarding the visitors a free-kick on the edge of the box, adjudging that McDonald had fouled Wordsworth, who drilled the resulting set-piece over the crossbar.

Both goalkeepers were then called on to make saves, Cousins keeping out Williamson and Simonsen dropping to his right to smother Henderson’s shot. The opportunities continued.

From a Lowton cross Evans got in front of his marker and headed against the crossbar whilst, for the visitors, Simonsen pushed away a Wordsworth shot.

Quinn linked up well with Evans before firing wide and then Porter’s overhead kick missed the target after McDonald’s clever header. Simonsen was again called upon once more to make a necessary save, closing down the angle and palming away from Bond after a mix up between Williamson and Doyle put the visitors in the clear.

Evans and Doyle both had shots blocked after an indirect free-kick, Cousins handling a back-pass, whilst Williams almost fashioned another chance just before the referee’s whistle brought an end to an entertaining half.

United were unable to replicate

the fast start to the first period and Colchester’s Odejayi should have done better with a header from Wilson’s cross. The home side’s first effort was a 65-yard shot yes, 65 yards - from Evans, who was attempting to catch Cousins unawares.

The effort from Evans did, however, spark United into life. Porter’s looping header found the net but he was offside when Doyle fired in the initial shot, which was saved by Cousins, and then Evans fired across goal and wide on the hour after neat build up play involving Collins and Porter.

An incisive Maguire run set up United’s next chance, on 66 minutes, he beat at least two men before playing in Porter but the striker, after rounding the goalkeeper, could only hit the post from an acute angle.

The Blades also struck the woodwork with the next attempt four minutes later. Lowton began the move and continued his run to receive the return pass from Evans but, despite being in the clear, the defender could only strike the crossbar.

United, though, were well on top and a deserved third goal was just a matter of moments away. With the home defence again stretched, Evans delivered the pull back and QUINN side-footed home with his unfavoured right, It was the last contribution of Evans, who was withdrawn soon afterwards to a standing ovation, whilst boss Wilson’s second change was to replace the hard-working Quinn. Cresswell and Flynn were the replacements.

Simonsen kept his concentration to make an impressive save from Bond, whilst United were quickly back on the attack and McDonald twice went close. Doyle also failed to hit the target from Flynn’s pass in the final ten minutes.

Collins also received an ovation when he was replaced by JeanFrancois late on but the final moments were incidental as the Blades returned to winning ways, although Cousins prevented Porter netting a second from Cresswell’s cross.

Blades: Simonsen, Lowton, Doyle, Evans (Cresswell 74), Williamson, Collins (Jean-Francois 87), Maguire, Porter, McDonald, Quinn (Flynn 77), Williams.

Unused: Mendez-Laing, Long.

Colchester: Cousins, Okuonghae, Heath (Baldwin 35), Izzet (Gillespie 64), Bond, Odejayi, Henderson, Wilson, Wordsworth, James (Antonio 72), Coker.

Unused: Rose, Duguid.

WILSON HAPPY WITH RESPONSE GAFFERS REACTION www.sufc.co.uk

Manager Danny Wilson was pleased with his team’s response after the midweek game and delighted with the way the Blades started the game against Colchester United.

He said: “We carried on from the second half on Tuesday, and started really well.

We got everybody up with a quick, aggressive start. The movement of the front two was terrific, their all round play and they both scored, which all centre forwards want to do.”

On his team selection the Blades boss explained the following: “We had a strong bench today, and the competition for places is good.

“It was very difficult to leave Cressy out, but I know how much Ched has been champing at the bit. Kevin McDonald offers us quality going forward so I brought him in, which again meant Ryan Flynn was unlucky to lose his place because he has done very well and worked hard.”

Strikers Ched Evans and Chris Porter both scored in the opening 12 minutes, whilst Stephen Quinn added a third in the second half. The Blades also struck the woodwork three times.

BLADES CREATIVITY MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk

United’s attacking intent was particularly satisfying for Blades boss Danny Wilson as he reflected on the 3-0 victory over Colchester United.

“The running of the ball was very pleasing, the passing was pleasing at times and the creativeness of the team going forward was terrific. We worked hard to create chances and I am pleased we created so many chances. It could have been a few more, but you can’t complain when you have scored three.

“We put Tuesday night behind us by starting quickly, aggressively and strongly. We continued from the second half on Tuesday with a great tempo.”

The Blades are next in action at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday 24th September. Tickets are still available for the game at Adams Park priced at £22 adults £7 juniors under16 and £18 0ver 65’s and full-time students, they are now on general sale.
