RECORD NUMBER OF AWARDS FOR ʻIN BLOOMʼ SHEFFIELD Shefﬁeld’s reputation as the greenest city in the country was enhanced at this year’s Yorkshire in Bloom Awards.

Six entrants won the coveted Gold awards in their respective categories – Shefﬁeld Forgemasters International, Botanical Gardens, Crystal Peaks Shopping Mall and

Retail Park, Shefﬁeld Hallam University, St John’s Church at Deepcar and Charnock Hall Grounds and Gardens. Shefﬁeld Hallam University and Forgemasters also won their respective categories to complete a truly memorable day for the city. Councillor Leigh Bramall, the Council’s Cabinet member for Environment and Transport said: “Congratulations to everyone who achieved such amazing results in

the Yorkshire in Bloom Awards this year. A great deal of hard work was carried out by many organisations and individuals to help make our city so attractive in some very difficult circumstances. Our officers worked very closely with all the entrants across the city and it culminated in the city’s entrants winning so many awards this year.” In the other judging categories, Sheffield representatives did exceptionally well,

CHELFORD CAR BOOT

Hillsborough Forum volunteers celebrated another successful spring and summer of participation in Hillsborough in Bloom 2011 culminating in being awarded a Silver rose in the Yorkshire in Bloom competition. This was possible with the fantastic efforts of so many different groups of people, the excellent work in Walled Garden by ranger Steve Bills, and wonderful work by local schools. Malin Bridge Primary and Wisewood Primary were awarded Silver Gilt in the Yorkshire in Bloom Young Peoples awards and Marclifffe Primary a Silver. The judges said of Malin Bridge School that “it was obvious from our visit that the pupils had a strong desire to learn everything about plant life.” A remarkable variety of businesses and people participating in In bloom 2011 included the awardwinning Garrison Hotel and householders with private gardens - all of whom followed their success at Sheffield in Bloom by entering the county-wide competition. Hillsborough Forum worked in partnership with Sheffield City Council this summer to promote positive change to the area's appearance. This included painting all railings, which alongside street cleaning, add to a cleaner, greener Hillsborough. Fundraising has already begun for bloom projects in 2012, with a raffle offering free tickets for four people to visit RHS Harlow Carr Gardens in Harrogate – tickets are available from the Forum office on Proctor Place and the draw takes place 17th October.

Copley’s Column

I have received many e-mails as a result of my column of last week regarding the self-treatment of cancer. There is much evidence to suggest that cancer cells thrive on the less than healthy stuff we all put into our bodies, and that if we can, with the right diet, cleanse our bodies, then our immune system can go into overdrive to remove the bad cancer and replace with them with good ones. There is some excellent information available by logging on to Dr Stanislaw Burzynski MB.PHD. on YouTube and by Googling the Gerson diet or the Gerson therapy. This is for the beneﬁt of anybody not reading last week’s column. A phone call from my good friend Glen Dale last week was most disturbing. Apparently, one Steve Richards has been appearing at all the top hotels in Cyprus pretending to be him, not as a tribute, but actually as Glen himself. How embarrassing it must have been when he was confronted by no other than Glen’s ex mother and father in law. My message to anyone booking Glen Dale is to make whoever it is roll up their left trouser leg, as the real McCoy unfortunately had his amputated. The irony is that the pretender is not very talented apparently. It is not my usual thing to attend ladies fashion shows, but I was invited to attend one this week held by Chi Chi’s at their shop in the Forge Dronﬁeld. This was an extremely well run show with models showing off many exclusive items of clothing. However, the highlight of the evening was the appearance of ten years old Maddie Fleming, who opened each half of the show with a couple of songs. Maddie is a product of the excellent stage academy run by Stephanie King, and she was awesome. This was apparently her singing debut as a solo artiste, and it must have been very daunting after previously performing with other children. Proud grandfather Ian Herbert and his better half Molly, coincidentally an old friend of mine, were most enthusiastic

about the good work performed by Stephanie King, going as far as to suggest that she should receive some recognition from the Queen. Dame Stephanie has a nice ring to it. I am grateful to Ian for the photograph of Maddie on the night which I am pleased, as promised, to include here.If she continues to progress like she has in the last two years, I have a feeling that we will hear much more of Maddie Fleming and I am seriously thinking of seeking some lessons from Stephanie to build up my own confidence and self-esteem I have had the most wonderful weekend, eating some fantastic food. As my girlfriend has had a very busy fortnight at work, she is a top businesswoman, we decided on a no cooking weekend, which began on Saturday night, when we were accompanied by her father and ten years old son Jack for a meal at the Fox and Goose at Wigley, where my good pal Len Badger was mine host for eighteen years. I scored this very pleasant pub/restaurant ten out of ten for food, presentation, service and value. The bill was only ninety three pounds which included two rounds of drinks. On Sunday morning, we went to see Jack play rugby for Chesterfield Panthers, who thrashed Ashbourne with Jack scoring a try and a conversion. We celebrated this with Sunday roast at the garden centre at Two Dales, near Darley Dale, where once again the food was par excellence. The much awaited debut of Agnetha and Frida, Diana Edwards and Sarah Fearnley from top Abba tribute band Bjorn Again takes place this Friday night at the Boogie Nights/ Back to the Nineties bar in Chesterfield.

Weekly Wit With... ALBERT SNODGRASS

Three men died on Christmas Eve, and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. “In honor of this holy season” Saint Peter said, “You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven” The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. “It represents a candle”, he said “You may pass through the pearly gates”, Saint Peter said. The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, “They’re Bells”. Saint Peter said, “You may pass through the pearly gates”. The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women’s panties. Saint Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, “And just what do these symbolize?” The man replied, “These are Carol’s.” A man is stranded on a desert island for 10 years. One day a beautiful girl swims to shore in a wetsuit. Man: “Hi! I am so happy to see you.” Girl: “Hi! It seems like you’ve been here a long time. How long has it been since you’ve had a cigarette?” Man: “It’s been 10 years!” With this information the girl unzips a slot on the arm of her wet suit and gives the man a cigarette. Man: “Thank you so much!” Girl: “So tell me how long has it been since you had a drink?” Man: “It’s been 10 years!” The girl unzips another pocket on her wet suit and comes out with a flask of 12 year old malt whisky and gives the man a drink. Man: “Thank you so much. You are like a miracle!” Girl (starting to unzip the front of her wet suit): “So tell me then, how long has it been since you played around?” Man: “Oh, my God, don’t tell me you’ve got a set of golf clubs in there, too...!”

round-up by stuart renton

After literally moments of speculation, we finally found out it was River in the space suit in Doctor Who. That’s right, the show that utterly fails to impress is back for its final episode of the season, and unless head writer, Moffat, pulls something impressive out from between those cheeks of his (he’ll have to pull out all the fanboys that are firmly lodged up there first), this entire season is going to be as hollow and emotionless as a night with the Cheeky Girls (yes, both of them at the same time!). The whole ‘how does the Doctor die?’ thing is getting tiresome, for as we all know the Doctor isn’t going to croak it, so the question isn’t “how will he die”, but: “how will Moffat get out of killing him?” It’s bound to be something rubbish and unimaginative that makes you go “awww, really?” in disappointment, or am I just getting really grumpy and demanding in my old age? Wait! Don’t answer that! We’re about to start the new season of autumn shows and the first of those is Glee. Love it or hate it, the show is back, this time with a new home on Sky 1, with a distinctly average episode that felt like the cast were going through the motions (it’s all about the pay check) with no real heart or substance. Is this the end of Glee? Probably not, for, like so many others, when any show has a massive first season (coughs, Heroes), that show will inevitably be milked for all it’s worth. I think shows should quit while they’re still going strong, and firmly adhere to the lessons taught by life coach, Kerry Katona, who believes you should always end on a high! The Only Way is Essex returned this weekend with almost two million viewers. That’s right, there’s two million numbskulls in the UK who soak up the lives of the vacuous and ultra-rich living in Essex. The third season saw Mark moping for ex, Lauren, the addition of some of the worst new characters ever, and, now Amy Childs has gone, a general downturn in quality. Like Friends, this show is about to resort to stereotyping each character to stave off its inevitable death throes. Reem! The Fades continues on BBC Three, a genuinely interesting fantasy horror drama where teenager, Paul, can see dead people. Birds fall from the skies and monsters lurk around every corner in this creepy show - fact, I haven’t had the willies put up me this much since my “experimentation” phase in the 1980s. But that’s another story entirely. Ahem. Moving swiftly onward: don’t miss Merlin on Saturday on BBC1 and time-travelling dinosaur drama, Terra Nova on Sky 1 on Monday.

BOOTLEG BEATLES

It has been 45 years since The Beatles’ last concert (in Candlestick Park, San Francisco on August 29, 1966), yet the demand to hear their music remains as high as ever. There are no better performers of those incredible songs than the world’s foremost tribute band, The Bootleg Beatles, who kick off a 14-date UK tour on 4th December 2011 and will be paying a visit to Sheffield City Hall on Friday 16th December. The tour is the first for Adam Hastings, who has added his raspingly accurate Lennon vocals to the line-up, replacing Neil Harrison (who has portrayed Lennon in the Bootlegs since their formation 31 years ago). Adam has received unanimously rave reviews from fans following his debut with the band this summer. In fact, the Bootleg Beatles were the first band that Adam ever saw perform live – he met Neil and got a signed poster after a gig at Newcastle City Hall. Adam recalls, “I had three posters on my bedroom wall – Nirvana, one of the real Beatles and the autographed Bootlegs poster – in my mind as a lad they all had equal status, so to be joining them full time is amazingly ridiculous!” The concerts will feature The Bootleg Beatles performing their authentic and note-perfect renditions of the greatest songs from the entire Beatles catalogue. They will be accompanied by their accomplished 8-piece orchestra, who help them faithfully re-create many of the hits the Beatles never performed live. The Bootleg Beatles will be appearing at Sheffield City Hall on Friday 16th December. Tickets are priced at £25 and are available from the City Hall Box Office on 0114 2 789 789.

STRICTLY COME DANCING LIVE TOUR On 29 September 2011 tickets go on general sale for Strictly Come Dancing The Live Tour 2012. With over 1.3 MILLION tickets sold over the past four years, the hugely popular UK arena tour returns for the fifth consecutive year, coming to the Motorpoint Arena Sheffield on Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd February 2012. The 2012 show will feature a brand new line-up of top celebrities and their dance partners from the smash hit BBC1 show. Strictly fans can watch their favourite dancing couples competing live for the votes and all important feedback of the TV judges and vote themselves via their mobile phone. Arena audiences will experience Strictly’s glitz, glamour and breathtaking choreography, courtesy of TV judge Craig Revel Horwood, who is directing the arena tour for the second year running. The 2011 tour received rave reviews in the national newspapers - the Sunday Express asked “Does it get much better? Not often” and awarded the show a 5 Star review. The Daily Telegraph’s 4 Star review described the tour as “the ultimate feel good show”. And the Mail on Sunday’s 4 star review said that “the audience adored every second”. More than 9 million viewers tuned in to watch the series’ launch show on 10th September on BBC1. The ninth series begins on 30th September. The television format, also known as Dancing With The Stars, entered the Guinness Book of World Records two years ago as the world’s most successful reality television show and has been sold by BBC Worldwide to over 35 international broadcasters. Last year’s final saw more than 14 million people tune in to see Kara Tointon raise the Strictly glitterball! Tickets are priced £65, £42.50 & £35 (may be subject to booking fee) and go on general sale Thursday 29th September. You can purchase tickets in person at our Box Office, by phone on 0114 256 56 56 or via our website www. motorpointarenasheffield.co.uk

PHARMACY NOW OFFERING CITY WIDE MEDICATION DISPENSER FILLING SERVICE Mark Johnson, CWCA

As part of its service City Wide Care Alarms (CWCA) offers a Medication Dispenser. This provides an automatic reminder each time medication should be taken. If this reminder isn’t cancelled by the user then an alert is raised at the call monitoring centre. Previously one of the drawbacks for customers using a Medication Dispenser was that someone needed to fill the unit with the right medication, on a regular basis. Where customers had family or friends living nearby who could do this it wasn’t a problem, however many people did not have this support and so the unit could not be supplied. Now, however, the Wicker Pharmacy has agreed that they will provide a filling service for anyone in Sheffield. There is a charge for this service (currently around £10 per month) and the customer would require two units from CWCA (the first is currently charged at 90p per week, the second at 60p per week). However the units are included in the home delivery service and so the pharmacy will fill one unit and then deliver it to the customer’s home and take the empty one away to be filled and exchanged next time, saving trips to the pharmacist. Of course other local pharmacists may also provide a similar service and so customers should still check the best service for them, but this is the first service we are aware of where a filling service has been offered city wide. An assessment still needs to be completed, for example, to ensure that the person can understand and operate the unit effectively and that the medications are suitable to use in the unit, e.g. liquids, sealed tablets or inhalers are not suitable. For more information about the Medication Dispenser or the whole CWCA service, phone 0800 013 0980 or e-mail citywidecarealarms@ sheffield.gov.uk

The Stones Mercury Clubland Awards 2011

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!

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!

THINGS MEN DONʼT ADMIT TO MAGIC AM by Trevor Thomas

Here’s an interesting question I asked the other day on air – What do 1 in 5 men never admit to using in a morning? Think of the things we wouldn’t confess to using. We had lots of interesting answers phoned in from scented soap through to a hair dryer. Other popular answers included tweezers, lady shaves and hair removal cream, plus a nail file, hair spray and even the mirror. Undoubtedly, the one that came up most was moisturizer. The correct answer though was actually Deodorant. I wouldn’t dream of inflicting myself on anyone if it wasn’t for a squirt of the stuff, and was a bit surprised since it takes up a lot of Christmas stockings to say the least. Also the other day I mentioned that an era seems to have ended with the passing of one children’s present. There’s to be no more of the iconic Blue Peter annuals for our kids since there’s no longer sufficient demand. I remember receiving one each year, on top of Rupert The Bear, The Dandy and Look in! Very sad!! On a brighter note, there’s more fun and games coming up this week. Don’t forget to join my colleague Nick Wright daily from 10am for a chance to win Sky+ HD free for a year with Challenge TV. Just tune in for his Challenge Quiz and you could be a winner. Added to that, our infuriating Magic Word competition continues. Listen in and see if you can spot the word South Yorkshire pop legend Dave Berry used to describe himself and Joe Cocker. There’s a pile of prizes waiting for you if you’re right on my Breakfast Show every day from 6.00 to 10.00am. Plus, Fridays of course are now £500 Fridays each week, with big money to win going into the weekends. See you in the morning for the best of the 60s, 70s and more.

GOING OFF ON CONVALESCENCE CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK by Ruth Cherrington

I learnt quite a few things through clubs when I was a child. One of these was a very big word- convalescence. My mum went several times to the CIU run-home for women in Whitstable and I knew of other men and women who used the homes after a spell of illness or surgery. They were one of the very early benevolent functions that the CIU intended clubs to provide. The homes offered a chance for a week or two by the sea, with regular meals and fresh air, and these were very welcome by working men who otherwise would not have been able to partake of such recuperative spells. The rules were quite strict, particularly in the Victorian times with legendary severe matrons but in many ways they were home away from home for club members. They could sit and have a quiet game of dominoes or cards with fellow recovering club men whilst resting up. The first convalescent home to open was Pegwell Bay in 1894 and, not long after opening, an extension was planned so that more men could recover from sickness or surgery. The CIU encouraged clubs to raise money and charted the ‘race’ to see which one could raise the most. They used their own Club & Institute Journal to whip up support for fundraising. The front cover of the October 1898 edition depicted the finish of the ‘race’ with a horse and jockey representing each of the leading clubs heading towards the finishing post. London’s St. James and Soho club won, just ahead of Mildmay Radical, also in London, with Kettering WMC coming third. The headlines proclaimed, ‘The Extension Donation Race! Result! The End! Splendid Donations! The Whole Field a Credit! The “Home” takes over £500 by the Competition!’ This type of friendly inter-club competition was encouraged to promote other charitable causes and remains a key feature of CIU clubs. The number of homes rose to six, including the Saltburn Centre in the North-East. This was originally built as part of Henry Pease’s model development for his steel and railway workers. The CIU acquired the Centre in 1909 and it remains open today for holidays and short breaks. The importance of such facilities cannot be overstated. The Welfare State didn’t arrive until 1945. Even in the post-war period with its relative full employment and rising standards of living, many workingclass families still could not afford regular holidays let alone a convalescence stay. These welfare functions sat side by side with the entertainment aspects of the clubs but have often been overlooked

PREVIEW: ENTER SHIKARI by KT Evans

REVIEW: TESSERACT by KT Evans

Coming up trumps with a line-up to excite the more extreme music fan, 16th October has a delight in store with one of the most celebrated British bands in hardcore to come to Sheffield’s O2 Academy…Enter Shikari are back! Bring their notoriously hazardous live show to the Steel City, the four piece have full support from both Your Demise and Letlive, ensuring one hell of a cracking night for music with an added punch! Originally forming under the band name of ‘Hybryd,’ the four piece from St Albans transferred themselves to Enter Shikari in 2003 and have since become one of the most successful hardcore acts to top the UK album charts. Their debut release, ‘Take to the Skies’ in 2007 saw Enter Shikari well and truly stamp their foot print upon metal hates, clinching them a number four UK chart position. Selling over 28,0000 copies in its first week of sales in Britain, the album went on to sell over 250,000 worldwide, certifying their first release as Gold Standard. With Kerrang awarding the album a huge 5 out of 5 stars, Enter Shikari were flung into a world of international festival performances and headline tours. If 2007 wasn’t already a huge blast for the band, it also saw the group play at Download Festival, Reading and Leeds, Glastonbury and Rock am Ring in Germany. In October of the same year, Enter Shikari played their biggest ever headline gig in musicians Mecca Carling Academy Brixton to the packed 4921 capacity. They also performed over 500 gigs (and we thought we had a busy schedule!) to include their first ever North American tour, with three more tours similar to follow…yikes! ‘Common Dreads,’ Enter Shikari’s second studio album in June 2009 once again brought the band back to hardcore front runner position, peaking at number 16 in the UK charts. With Kerrang giving the album a full 5/5 rating, Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe furthered its success by naming single off the album ‘Juggernauts’ the Hottest Track In The World in April 2005. Having a time off in the studio in 2010, Leeds and Reading Festival 2011 saw Enter Shikari back with a vengeance along with a new single Ssssnakespit, which was released on 19th September, with their biggest fan Zane Lowe playing it live on radio twice in a row…that’s dedication for you! Fans of the band are looking forward to the groups third studio album to be released in the very near future. Catch Enter Shikari with support from Your Demise and the cracking Letlive on 16th October at 02 academy. See www.o2academysheffield.co.uk for all ticket info.

Progressive, experimental, metal, hardcore… whatever you fancy calling these guys, it would be unarguable to say that TesseracT’s show at Corporation on 16th September was one of the best the venue has seen for a notably long time. Proving to everyone who came that the five piece are still very much masters of both song writing with their new material, alongside tight stage presence to coincide with their new singer Elliott Coleman, TesseracT not only are on their way up…but winning fans along the way. Ironically opening the show with ‘Sunrise,’ an injection of fierce vocals alongside intricate rhythm patterns, from kick-off it was clear new front man Elliott Coleman has what it takes to front one of the most promising up-coming bands in the UK at the moment. Taking stature from former vocalist Dan Tomkins who joined in 2009, although a tough act to follow, Coleman seems not to be phased by such a heavy ask. Instead a certain cocky confidence exudes from the American whilst on stage, connecting with his audience in the secondary room at Corp throughout their hour long set. With heavy praise from the likes of Scuzz TV naming them ‘seriously badass…’ it’s plain simple to see why with their experimental track ‘Nascent’ proceeding along their performance. A handshake with a more hardcore genre of creating music, this belter sees both a soft verses gritty style of vocals to induce an alternative piece from the group. With over 1,500 user likes on this video alone on TesseracT’s youtube channel indicating a sure crowd favourite of the bands repertoire, the audience’s energy was reinvested into the five piece who, never ones to remain static whilst on stage, were clearly relishing their explosive live performance. With a soul aim of creating ‘…music with subtle power and emotion, to avoid genre-specific clichés and tired old tricks…’ (fb quote) TesseracT are famed for their extravert live stage performance with strobes, power stances and ear splitting riffs coming as standard within the bands expanding repertoire. Proving this as their main prerogative, ‘April’ was played towards the middle half of the five piece’s set, which from the eight bar opener got the audience rapidly up and moving their feet. A stonking bassline ensuring perforated eardrums were the essential must have after the gig, it’s evident from the dedicated crowd singing back the bands own lyrics to them that in terms of musical ability and strength, TesseracT pretty much have what it takes to be front runners within the UK metal and progressive scene…already on their way to this, the band are undergoing their full World tour until the end of December, gracing stages across Orlando, Detroit and Philadelphia. ‘Ultimately, if when you listen to it, it moves you emotionally, intellectually and physically, we will have achieved our goal…’ Closing with ‘Concealing the fate part 1,’ TesseracT ensured their gig would not be short forgotten. Building up to a metal heads almighty crescendo, the set exploded into both audio and visual extremes, with strobes, smoke machines and a deep rooted rhythm section instigating the standard mosh pit routine for many bands in Corp…hell yeah!!

ALL THE YOUNG

Recently seen supporting Morrissey, The Courteeners and Hard-Fi following personal invites from all three artists, the rise of All The Young continues with the release of their third single ‘Quiet Night In’ on October 10th on Midlands Calling / Warner Bros. Records. Produced by GGGarth Richardson (Biffy Clyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and mixed by Rich Costey (Muse, My Chemical Romance), the crackling melodies of ‘Quiet Night In’ bridge the gap between the ﬁnest traditions of anthemic Brit rock ‘n’ roll with captivating hooks reminiscent of Bob Mould’s work with Sugar. ‘Quiet Night In’ is the band’s third single following ‘The First Time’ and ‘Welcome Home’ which placed the spotlight upon All The Young as an emerging talent to watch with radio support provided by Zane Lowe and XFM. The singles were followed with the release of ‘Live At King Tut’s’ EP from which the track ‘Arcane’ was selected as a Q Track of the Day. In other recent news, the quartet were chosen to open for The Wombats at their iTunes Festival show at London’s Roundhouse and they also performed an acoustic session for Absolute Radio. All The Young will embark upon a full UK tour in September that includes a visit to The Plug on October 1st and concludes with a special homecoming show at Stoke’s 1000 capacity King’s Hall.

PETS CORNER

With the official arrival of Autumn on 21 September, many seasonal plants are in full fruit. But leading veterinary charity, PDSA, is warning pet owners of the dangers lurking in gardens and on country walks. Nibbling on the wrong type of autumn leaves, seeds and fruits may cause our four-legged friends serious harm. PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Sean Wensley, says: “Most pets, especially young animals, are eager to explore new things, but sometimes they accidentally swallow objects when they only meant to investigate them. Eating parts of certain plants can cause sickness and consuming large amounts can even prove fatal.” Owners should keep an eye on what their pets are investigating while out on walks and remember that dangers can be present in their garden as well. “Always check before putting new or unusual plants in your garden to ensure they are not toxic to pets” continues Sean. “If you are unsure, staff at garden centres should be able to advise.” There are many poisonous plants, but at this time of year pet owners should be particularly aware of the following seasonal dangers: Acorns Acorns are highly toxic for pets and can easily be eaten. They are most dangerous before they ripen, when they are still green. Signs of acorn poisoning can include: · Constipation followed by diarrhoea · Urinary problems · Swelling of the legs Conkers

The conkers, bark, leaves and flowers of Horse Chestnut trees are all poisonous to pets. Conkers are less dangerous than acorns, but if consumed in large amounts can be fatal. Signs of poisoning usually appear within one to six hours. They include: · Vomiting and diarrhoea · Abdominal pain · Excessive drinking · Excessive salivation · Loss of appetite · Paralysis · Difficulty breathing Yew Yew trees, which are commonly found in churchyards, are extremely toxic to pets. Every part of the tree is poisonous and eating just a handful of the leaves can be fatal. Signs of poisoning are usually seen within two hours and include: · Sickness and diarrhoea · Excessive salivation · Dilated pupils · Trembling and convulsions · Breathing problems Sean concludes: “If you believe your pet is suffering from any type of poisoning, you should contact your vet for advice immediately.”

Racing Form

by Clint Walker

I’ve been doing a bit of review work this week for a website I contribute to; www.ukmatchangler. com which is a great site (even if I do say so myself!) offering top tips, reviews and news stories. I recently met up again with owner Ray Best for a weekend of socialising near his Cambridgeshire base and on the Sunday (normally a very sore Sunday after a cracking Saturday night) we share a cup of tea before I depart for the long drive back up north. Before I get on the road, Ray opens the doors to his tackle shack and issues whatever he requires a review for. This time I got lucky; a box of groundbaits, dips and additives from Starfish Baits, a Coleman 533 petrol stove and a stunning Harrison Torrix specialist rod! The baits are easy to review; I either catch or I don’t, but either way, I get to have a play around, mix them up and give them the usual margin test, the stove is again something simple to look at, but the rod??? Ray has asked for pictures which show the rod with a ‘bend in it’ which proves difficult if out alone with a 10 second self take timer!! I’ll get there eventually, but much of my fishing is either done with a feeder or a carp rod, so I’m struggling to remember how to float fish! This week, I’ve been after bream at a Staffordshire day ticket water called Baden Hall. On a tough day, when five other rods shared one small carp, I managed a good bag of skimmers, gudgeon, perch and some quality roach along with a few bream to around to 6lbs. Most of the ‘bits’ came to maggots or worm, but the big bream all fell to my current favourite boilie, the Multi-worm mix from Pallatrax. (www.pallatrax.co.uk) It doesn’t matter where I take this bait, it seems to score, and every time it does, my confidence is increased! Baden Hall is also an excellent venue at which to target your first 40lbs+ common carp; the site boasts two out and out specimen lakes, Quarry and Bridge Pools which have some simply stunning fish in them and are proving very popular with the angling press who always seem to be there! Quarry is the pool with the bigger fish, and features sheds to fish from, landing nets and unhooking mats are all supplied, so you just need your rods and bits. The onsite tackle shop stocks whatever you need, and a cafe supplies hot food and drink if you need a break. Loads of other pools to go at too, so find out more at www.badenhall.com I got hold of some of the AVIDCARP Cornstops this week; simple things which make hair rigging baits so much easier and have the added attraction of a variety of available colours to tip any bait. I’m a big fan of keeping terminal tackle to a minimum, and these really fit the bill, so I may publish my findings next week.....

Arc de Triomphe Weekend, Saturday TV Racing from Ascot, Newmarket and Redcar Owing to unforeseen personal circumstances this week’s column is shorter than usual. The Saturday TV racing comprises 4 from Ascot (2.05 to 3.50), 3 from Newmarket (2.25 to 3.35) and the Redcar 2yo Trophy at 4.00. At Ascot: 2.05 Mark Johnston’s Vocational looks to have a decent chance here. Royal Award and Caledonia Lady are feared most. 2.40 John Gosden’s Arctic Cosmos can make a winning re-appearance and upset the two hat-trick seekers in the ﬁeld, Taqleed and Quest for Peace. Of the others City Leader is feared most. 3.15 I like the chances of Royal Rock for this one, but Desert Poppy could be a dangerous ﬂy-in-theointment. Internationaldebut is on a roll and will also be a dangerous opponent. 3.50 Webbow gets the nod in a tightly-knot contest where there are many with excellent chances.

At Newmarket: 2.25 Mick Channon’s Samitar looks to me to have as good a chance as any. The few that fought out the ﬁnish in the sales race a fortnight ago – Wahylah, Glee, Lemon Rock and Roedean - may give the selection most to do. 3.00 Richard Hannon often farms these sales races and has a good shout here with his hat-trick seeking Bronterre who may be chased home by another of his – Tell Dad. Aidan O’ Brien is also well represented and his Boris Grigoriev may give the Hannon duo a run for their money. Mehdi, Mezmaar and Repeater look to be the best of the rest. 3.35 Enroller has run a couple of decent races recently after quite a long lay-off. He looks to be ready to strike now and it may pay to follow him. There are plenty of dangers headed by The Betchworth Kid, Meetings Man, Big Creek, High Jinx and the hat-trick seeking Just Lille. At Redcar: 4.00 The 2yo Trophy looks as competitive as ever. However, I was impressed by Billy Ray Valentine on his last couple of starts and he may be able to land the hat-trick here – he will do for me in a tricky contest. Of the others Mark Johnston’s Ventura Spirit looks capable of a big run, as do: Lord Buffhead;

STEELERS PUT OUT THE BLAZE

Cravat; Fulbright; Tip Top Gorgeous and Parc de Launay. On Sunday there is the glorious meeting at Longchamp culminating in the European Champion all-aged race – the Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe. Unfortunately the Arc declarations are not available as I write this piece. However, Reliable Man won the Prix Niel well earlier this month a race that has sometimes proved to be a good trial for the Arc. That day he beat Meandre, who may be supplemented for the race later in the week, and if he is I would also be quite hopeful about his chances. Try the two of them against the field. Selections Summary: Saturday: Ascot: 2.05 Vocational 2.40 Arctic Cosmos 3.15 Royal Rock 3.50 Webbow Newmarket: 2.25 Samitar 3.00 Bronterre 3.35 Enroller Redcar: 4.00 Billy Ray Valentine Sunday: Arc de Triomphe: Reliable Man and Meandre. Good Luck! Last week’s results: Of the 8 selections 7 ran with one winner at 20/1 returning an overall profit of 14 points to 1 point level stakes. While Benny Be Good was good Stevie Thunder almost matched him by finishing a close second in the Cambridgeshire at 25/1. The rest generally under-performed. Newmarket: 2.05 Wrote – 3rd @ 9/2 2.35 Best Terms -5th @ 11/8 3.10 Emulous – non runner 3.50 Stevie Thunder – 2nd @ 25/1 Market Rasen: 2.20 Viva Colonia - 12th @ 11/2 2.50 Benny Be Good –won @20/1 Haydock: 3.20 Cheveton – 10th @ 5/1

On Saturday GB coach Paul Thompson brought his Coventry Blaze to the Arena. Coventry’s season had begun to pick up, after suffering losses to Hull (5-2, preseason) and Nottingham (10-1). Blaze came into Sheffield after two winning weekends, double headers against Fife and Hull. The Blaze quickly took the lead as Jeff Fulgham put the visitors ahead, and Steelers couldn’t find an answer until the second period, when Jeff Legue levelled the scores for the home side. Chad Huttel put the home team into the lead with his first goal for the team at 5:54, and Mike Ramsay scored the Steelers third goal at 8:31. Fulgham scored again for the Blaze at 29:14. Legue closed the scoring for the second period, with a goal at 18:37, and the Steelers continued their goal run into the third period with a goal from Neil Clark at 41:23. With Thomas and then Stephenson in

the penalty box for the Steelers, the Blaze put away two goals to close the gap to 5-4. With just over a minute left on the clock, the Blaze pulled netminder Peter Hirsch, and Neil Clark scored his second of the night into the empty net, giving Steelers a 6-4 victory. Perhaps the biggest battle took place off the ice, as PR David Simms and Steelers owner Tony Smith went head to head in a battle to see who could sell the most 50/50 draw tickets. The evening ended with one of the highest prizes ever given away, over £1000, and Simms claimed the victory, perhaps no surprise for a man who’s day job sees him selling houses as an estate agent. On Wednesday September 28th the Shefﬁeld Steelers Supporters Club invite Steelers fans to come along to Outo Kumpu Sports Club for an informal forum with the players. Tickets are available on the door, priced £2 for members and £3 for non-members. Doors open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start.

Millers and Rovers News & Reviews 2011/12

MILLERS NEWS 2011/12 MILLERS HEAVY LOSS MATCH REPORT www.themillers.co.uk Rotherham United fell to their first home defeat of the season, as Southend United left Don Valley 4-0 winners. Millers manager Andy Scott was forced into one change from the side that drew with Torquay last weekend. Skipper Ryan Cresswell missed out, and was replaced at the heart of defence by Troy Brown. August signing Alex Revell was handed the captains armband in the absence of the Millers regular skipper. After a cagey opening that produced very little action, the first opportunity fell to the Millers. Midfielder Danny Harrison worked some space on the edge of the area but his right foot shot was straight at Glenn Morris in the Southend goal. The visitors had their first chance of the match after nine minutes through Michael Timlin, which Conrad Logan did well to save low to his left. However less than a minute later Southend were in front. Left back Peter Gilbert whipped in a corner from the right and after the Millers failed to clear, the ball came back to the former Sheffield Wednesday player and he lashed in an unstoppable shot from the edge of the area. With 15 minutes on the clock, the visitors almost doubled their advantage. A swift counter attack found Timlin in space on the right but his curling left footed shot was saved smartly by Logan. After 20 minutes of sustained Millers possession, Alex Revell had two chances in quick succession. Firstly he shot wide after good work from Gareth Evans on the left and then saw his goalbound header from Danny Schofield’s corner deflected past the post. A minute later and the home side came closer to grabbing an equaliser when Lewis Grabban saw his header cleared off the line by Gilbert after another impressive Schofield delivery.

The Millers hunt for a goal continued and after 38 minutes a decent move on the right created a chance for Dale Tonge but the full back saw his shot go straight at Morris. Chris Holroyd was introduced at half-time, but it was Southend’s Timlin who received the first chance of the half, which he despatched emphatically. A long throw from the right-hand side was flicked onto the far post where the loanee was on hand to volley home, leaving Logan with no chance. It would have been three for the visitors on 55 minutes, but for a magnificent tackle by Tom Newey in the six yard box. Dickinson did well on the left to beat Brown to the ball before squaring to Timlin who looked certain to score but for the recovering Newey. Just after the hour mark things went from bad to worse for the home side, as Timlin grabbed his second of the game with a scorcher from 25 yards. Yet another hopeful ball into the area wasn’t cleared, and Timlin was on hand to pick up the pieces, rifling his effort past Logan into the top corner. Moments later, Dickinson tried his luck on the turn, but failed to test Logan as his limp effort went wide. However, just three minutes later, the visitors did manage a fourth; Dickinson again lively on the right, burst into the area and his shot deflected perfectly into the path of veteran striker Neil Harris who side footed past Logan from eight yards. The biggest applause of the day came shortly after the hour mark as Johnny Mullins, out of action since April was introduced in the heart of the defence. The best chance of the half came on 72 minutes when substitute Holroyd had a shot blocked on the turn; Grabban met the rebound 18 yards out but failed to make a clean contact on the ball and it flew over Morris’ crossbar. The pressure continued from Rotherham, and with just five minutes left on the clock, Revell and Tonge worked well before the latter, swung in a cross that Harrison was just inches away from making contact with. In the end, the home side’s efforts proved fruitless, and referee Salisbury eventually brought the action to an end.

ROVERS NEWS 2011/12 FIRST VICTORY MATCH REPORT www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

After a hectic two days off the field it was good to see the players take the field for their home game against Crystal Palace. There was an air of expectancy around the ground as Dean Saunders was introduced to the crowd as the new manager. New loan signing Jon Parkin started the game alongside James Hayter and Brian Stock also started, whilst it was a welcome return, albeit on the bench, for Billy Sharp. The Rovers defended the South Stand end in the first half. The visitors, in their usual colours of claret and blue stripes, got the game underway but it was the 7th minute before the first meaningful action occurred, with each side sounding each other out. A corner to the visitors was cleared and a following attack had Murray hitting a first time volley from 25yards that landed on the top of the net. Then a Rovers attack ended with a Gillott shot being deflected for a corner. This brought a quick break out of defence for the Palace, with Friend getting in a last ditch challenge on Murray, who thought he should have had a penalty. The visitors looked dangerous up front and won a couple of corners over the next ten minutes of mainly midfield play. The second corner, on 22 minutes, brought a quick counter attack by the Rovers when Gillott, halfway in his own half on the right touchline, sent a long crossfield pass to Oster halfway in the Palace half. He took the ball on before passing inside tp Parkin but his sidefooted effort from the edge of the area went well wide. Just before the half hour Ambrose caught Gillott napping and took the ball away, played a 1-2 with a team-mate but fired wide from just outside of the penalty area. Past the half hour and a corner to the Palace came out to Moxey but he fired well wide from 30yards. In the 37th minute a long ball by Naylor out of the Rovers defence saw Parkin barged over from the back by McCarthy but his claims for a penalty went unheeded. The attack continued and a cross from the left by Gillott was headed over the bar by Parkin. The Rovers were enjoying their best spell of the game at this stage and Parkin worked hard in the 42nd minute to get in a shot from the edge of the penalty area whilst on the floor but there wasn’t any power behind it and Speroni saved comfortably. This was followed by Ambrose hitting a free kick from a central position some 30yards out well over the bar. In the last action of the half, Murray, for the Palace, latched on to a loose ball and from the edge of the penalty area to the right of goal hit the ball across the face of goal but Sullivan going down to his right saved well. The Rovers kicked off but the Palace were first on the attack winning a corner two minutes in. Ambrose placed it beyond the far post where Murray got in a good header that brought a fine reaction save from Sullivan to tip it over the bar. Two more corners for the visitors followed in the next five minutes but they were successfully defended. In the 57th minute, the Rovers made a couple of substitutions to loud acclaim from the fans when Billy Sharp joined the fray. The fans were suddenly alive and this spread to the field of play. Successive corners were won by the Rovers as they went on to the attack. End to end play followed with Jedinak volleying over from distance just past the hour. Then, in the 65th minute, after intense pressure from the Rovers, Oster got in a good shot from distance that took a wicked deflection off McCarthy past the now wrong-footed Speroni. The match had developed into an excellent game of football,

with the Rovers at last getting back to playing good football and pressuring the Palace defence. Lalkovic, on the right , played down the line to Oster, who passed inside to Hayter but his first-time half volley was high and wide. Stock then fired wide from way out. At the other end a corner to the visitors came out to Wright on the edge of the area but his effort was high and wide. Back came the Rovers with a thunderous effort from Oster that was deflected for a corner. The Gillott and Lalkovic linked on the right, with the latter cutting in and curling a left footer just the wrong side of the far post as Speroni dived desperately to his right. Jedinak then fired over for the Palace. As time ran down, good work by Sharp on the left byline enabled him to pass back to Hayter but his first time shot was well over. Into added time and the Palace threw everything into attack but the Rovers defence manfully withstood everything thrown at them. A good chance came for the Palace with a free kick in a central position about 30 yards out but again he put well over the bar. The final whistle went on a cracking second half leaving the Rovers with their first win after 18 games without one.

Sheffield Wednesday News and Views 2011/12

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2011/12 RAMPANT OWLS EASE PAST EXETER MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

Sheffield Wednesday extended their 100 per cent home record to six games this season with a comfortable 3-0 win over Exeter. James O’Connor opened the scoring late in the first half before Gary Madine gave the Owls clear daylight just before the break. Madine then netted a penalty after the interval to bag his third successive brace on home soil and extend his purple patch to nine goals in seven games. But Wednesday had to be patient for the points and indeed, the contest was almost half an hour in before the first chance of any note and it fell to the visitors. Matthew Whichelow found space down the right flank and sent an accurate feed into the danger zone, where the onrushing Daniel Nardiello was a whisker away from applying the finishing touch. That move, though, seemed to galvanise the Owls, who visibly upped the tempo, with home debutant David McGoldrick going close six yards out following good

work down the left from Ben Marshall. The Owls sustained the increased pace and were rewarded with two quickfire goals inside four minutes. First, on 40 minutes, Rob Jones’ glanced header caused problems in the Exeter defence and following a spooned save from Artur Krysiak, O’Connor was on hand to stab home his first goal of the season. Four minutes later, Wednesday doubled their lead. Marshall took advantage of Krysiak spilling a loose ball and set up Madine, who drilled in a powerful header to send the Owls into half time two goals to the good. Wednesday started the second half as they had ended the first and McGoldrick forced a fine save from Krysiak minutes after the restart. Exeter struggled to get the ball out of their own half as the rejuvenated Owls launched wave after wave of attacks. With Marshall at the hub running directly at the Grecians defence, Gary Megson’s side were always favourites to score next and they duly did so on 74 minutes. Madine tangled with Steve Tully in the box and the referee pointed to the spot. Madine grabbed the ball and stepped up to slam in the penalty. Still the Owls pushed on and Chris Lines smashed a low drive against the post before Madine left the field with two minutes to go to allow Ryan Lowe a home debut, and League 1’s leading goalscorer could reflect on another job well done as the Owls continued their climb up the table. Owls: Bywater, Buxton, Jones, Batth, R Johnson, Marshall (Palmer 89), O’Connor, Semedo, Lines, McGoldrick (O’Grady 73), Madine (Lowe 88) Unused substitutes: O’Donnell, Bennett Exeter: Krysiak, Tully, Dunne, Archibald-Henville (O’Flynn 76), Duffy, Noble, Nardiello, Golbourne, Coles, Taylor (Bennett 76), Whichelow (Buaza 58) Unused substitutes: Pidgeley, Jones

SWFC NEWS www.swfc.co.uk

Gary Megson hailed his Owls side as they posted their sixth successive Hillsborough win with a comfortable triumph over Exeter. Wednesday eased home 3-0 but only after a frustrating first 30 minutes in which the visitors packed the midfield and played one up top. The net result was a tepid opening to the contest, which exploded into life with two Owls goals in four minutes before half time. Megson said: “Teams pay us a big compliment when they set up like that at Hillsborough and it’s up to us to break them down. “We can go over them, round them or through them and I thought we did all three at various points today. “So I would say that was our best home performance of the season so far.” Two-goal Gary Madine cemented his place at the top of the League 1 goalscoring chart and Megson was full of praise for the in-form striker. He said: “Gary Madine was terrific today. He can be anything he wants to be and the only thing that will stop him is himself. “His running off the ball was first class and so was his work rate, which is much higher than the first three games of the season and he is getting his rewards.” The manager also picked out debutant goalkeeper Stephen Bywater and midfielder Chris Lines as the Owls moved up to seventh in the table: “Stephen Bywater didn’t have a lot to do but what he did do, he did very well. His kicking and handling were excellent. “I thought all the defence looked very assured today. “Chris Lines has come in and done very well in the middle. He is comfortable on the ball, very good in possession and he passed the ball well.”

Tickets for the Steel City derby beam back are now on sale to season ticket holders and members. General sale follows this Wednesday, 28 September. The Owls’ away allocation for the Bramall Lane clash on 16 October (12 noon) sold out last week, enabling SWFC to host the event with the agreement of Shefﬁeld United, the Football League and the FA. A big screen will be erected on the Hillsborough pitch and live commentary of the match will be broadcast via the Wednesday Player in-house team of Rob O’Neill and John Pearson. Supporters will be seated in the South Stand and Grandstand and prices are £10 for adults and £5 concessions. Tickets can be purchased online at swfc.co.uk/tickets, over the phone on 0871 9001867 or in person at the Owls Megastore. Places for this event will be limited to the capacity of the South Stand and Grandstand so supporters are advised to purchase their tickets early, especially given the huge success of the last beam back at Hillsborough in February 2009 when the Owls beat the Blades 2-1 at Bramall Lane. Supporters should note that the beam back is staged for Shefﬁeld Wednesday fans only.

Danny Wilson says he will rest Marcus Williams this week and will also take a look at Nick Montgomery’s progress in the build up to the top of the table clash with Charlton Athletic next Saturday. “Marcus is ﬁne, he has a dead-leg, so hopefully he will be OK, it is not a pulled muscle or anything like that,” commented Wilson. “We will treat him all week and hopefully get him prepared for Saturday.” On Nick Montgomery, who travelled with the team but didn’t make it on to the bench at Wycombe, Wilson added: “He needs a game, he has trained but not really at the tempo you get from games. “He needs to play; we have a reserve game during the week so if we think he is ok then he will take part in that.” The Blades second string will take on Walsall’s reserves on Wednesday night at Bramall Lane, with a 7pm kick-off for the Central League Central Division ﬁxture.

Despite watching his team go down to a 1-0 defeat at Adams Park Danny Wilson refused to be downhearted after his Blades team dominated the game from the first to last whistle. “It was a fantastic performance, there is only one thing we can say and that is that we didn’t put the ball in the net. It was complete dominance of a football match, we created chance after chance and didn’t take any of them. “We played very well, our passing was excellent, we kept possession of the ball really well, got into some good dangerous positions and unfortunately just didn’t put our chances away. “Wycombe had a bit of luck on their side as well, we were punished for one error and they got away with their errors, if you’re Gary then you take your luck, we would in the same position! From our point of view we cant do much more to win a game than that. we have to take confidence from the way we played and go and repeat it next week.” On the Wycombe goal scored by Stuart Beavon after 31 minutes Wilson said: “Unfortunately we were done by one ball that came over the top, Beavon has finished it very well but we shouldn’t have been in that position. “We completely dominated from start to finish but were frustrated not to have scored so we will look forward to next week when we hope to take those frustrations out on Charlton.” The League table sees Charlton three points clear of the Blades in second place ahead the teams meeting next Saturday at Bramall Lane. It will a difficult week for Charlton who before facing United have to travel, on Tuesday night to face the face the MK Dons.

NEW CEO SPEAKS SUFC NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

Julian Winter met the press last week discussing his role at the Club. Julian outlined the ‘direction of travel’ or remit that he has been given ahead of taking over at Bramall Lane. “It is not only right for Sheffield United, it is also right for football that clubs are living within their means. “In a short period of time it will be the rule that clubs have to spend within their income. The work that has already happened over the summer has begun to shape Sheffield United in the right way. “I have a very clear job to do at the club. What I would like to see is a positive response to the direction of travel that has been set by the owner. The club has to be a sustainable one going forward and it is fair to say it hasn’t been, meaning the owner has invested huge amounts of money into Sheffield United.” “We want to get the club promoted without a shadow of doubt and this club needs to get back into the Championship as quickly as possible, then move on from there. So it is really about implementing processes from the people side of things to drive the business forward.” Speaking about his background Winter explained; “I am a former professional footballer who played for Huddersfield Town and signed for Sheffield United, although I never actually played for the Blades as I snapped my knee ligaments a week or so before the season started. Four years later and after ten operations I

retired and moved away from the game. “I went to study at Sheffield Hallam University where I gained a degree before, as I describe it, ‘falling back into football’, which is a fair description because my career path was intended to be in the public sector in Leisure Services and Sports Development. “I worked at Grimsby Town and across the city for a while before most recently working at Watford. I started as community director before becoming deputy CEO and more latterly the CEO for over two years.” Talking about the hopes he has for the club on and off the pitch, the former Huddersfield player said: “The fabulous thing about Sheffield United is it has a lot of potential the difficult thing is actually realising that potential. You have to focus on the basics and have a long term plan and here that has to be to get back to Premiership. “The infrastructure is here, the stadium is already in place, the potential is massive but at the moment everything isn’t quite joined up, hopefully that isn’t a huge task given the facilities. “The club has always had a strong family and community reputation and this needs to be built on.”
