TV STAR STEWART FRANCIS TO STAR AT RED CROSS COMEDY NIGHT TV star Stewart Francis is to headline Giggle Aid III - a comedy fundraiser for the British Red Cross in the Platinum Suite at Bramall Lane, Sheffield on Sunday 18 December - and has revealed that he’s actually a Sheffield Wednesday fan.

Stewart is probably best known as one of the recent stars of BBC’s ‘Mock the Week’ where his seemingly endless killer one-liners regularly steal the show. He has

also written for and appeared on ‘8 Out of 10 Cats’, ‘The Omid Djalili Show’ and ‘Not Going Out.’ Stewart is to perform previously unseen material ahead of his 2012 UK tour, and is donating his time for free to raise funds so the Red Cross can help people affected by disasters in the UK and overseas.

Stewart Francis said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be appearing at Giggle Aid III to raise money for the Red Cross and I’m

really looking forward to performing for the people of Sheffield. I’m doing the gig because of the Red Cross’ exceptional work and because the gig is in the city of my favourite English football club.”

Max Newton, Community Fundraiser at the Red Cross and Giggle Aid III organiser said: “Of course I pushed Stewart to reveal which of the Sheffield clubs he was a fan of, and the answer is Sheffield Wednesday. Despite his

Domestic & Commercial Flooring

allegiance to the Owls, Stewart is prepared to venture into the home of the Blades for a good cause - for which we are very grateful.

Max Newton,added: “We’re extremely privileged that such a big comedy star is willing to donate his time and talent to help us raise muchneeded funds. All our acts are performing for free because they understand that the Red Cross do wonderful work helping people in a crisis wherever they

may be. It could be a family in a far off place whose village has been hit by an earthquake, tsunami, drought or famine. Or it could be you, me or our loved ones hit by floods, terrorist attacks, or house fire.

“We also have a wonderful venue thanks to the guys at Sheffield United, with cabaretstyle seating and food available on the night.

So, it’s ideal for work Christmas parties too!”

Also performing on the night will be: Police

Sergeant Alfie Moore, as seen on ITV’s ‘Show Me The Funny’; Sheffield’s Anthony J Brown; and Mundo Jazz - described as “a latino Spinal Tap”. The evening will be hosted

by New Zealand standup Sully O’Sullivan.

Tickets cost just £15 (£12 concessions) and can be bought online at www.redcross.org.uk/ giggle or by contacting 0114 242 7379 or mnewton@redcross. org.uk .

Copley’s Column

On Friday night, I attended the opening night of an exciting new venue in the Sheffield city centre, Maggie May’s where the music is right up my street, being from the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties. As nearly all the other outlets in town cater for the younger generation, this brainchild of top disc jockey, Gary Sinclair is filling a much needed niche in the market, catering for the over twenty fives. It was heart-warming to see Gary, one of my closest friends, on stage doing what he does best, with an obvious look of pride as the luxurious venue was filled to capacity.

The live entertainment was provided by Beatles tribute band, the Beatalls, who were outstanding.

It was no different to seeing the original Beatles, so good they were, with even the guy playing Paul McCartney being left handed. It was wonderful for me, as I knew the words to every single song that they played. This has to be the best tribute band I have ever seen, and by the crowd reaction, I am not alone in thinking this.

As was to be expected, the quality of the sound was exceptional, and the fixtures and fittings were of the highest standard. The bar staff were courteous and efficient, as were the security team.I was particularly pleased to see my buddy Alf Marshall, always great company, who is a fixture at every opening night, and attended with his brother Eric. I have no hesitation in recommending a visit to Maggy May’s as a really good night out in Sheffield, with prices at the bar commensurate with those charged in any local pub.

A notable date in the diary is Thursday the fifteenth of December, when Maggy May’s will be hosting the after show party of a wonderful night of entertainment at the Sheffield City Hall.

This will feature Boy on a Dolphin and Acoustic Angels front man, John Reilly, with I believe both bands, the Julian Jones band and a guest appearance from Lyndsay Dracus. John Reilly is without doubt the finest male vocalist in our area and I predict a great future for this likeable scouser.

Johnny and Von Howe are leaving the Victoria pub in Dronfield next week and it is a sad day for me. This lovely couple have worked tirelessly at the Victoria, putting on top class entertainment plus free buffets to no avail. The locals have failed to support them and it is a classic case of ‘If you don’t use it, you will assuredly lose it’ I would like to take this opportunity to thank them both for some great times and wish them all my best wishes for whatever they choose to do in the future.

The wonderful Sunny Daye has returned from a working holiday in Los Angeles and is now available for solo work and this first class venue filling artiste can be booked through top agents, Cee Bee Variety Agency.

This week sees the final of the ever popular Stephanie King’s ‘Stars of The Future’ and I am honoured to be asked to be a judge. This is no easy task, as one category is for under sixteen’s and I am loth to level criticism at the youngsters.

However, the standard is exceptionally high, thus making it much easier .

We seem to live in a world of reality television these days, and despite the odd comment to the contrary, I have found the X Factor very enjoyable this year, with the standard in the closing stages considerably better overall than in previous years. No sooner had Big Brother finished; it was immediately replaced by one of my favourite shows, ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here’ Also, for the more discerning amongst us there is Celebrity Come Dancing. The Only Way is Essex seems to very popular, yet I think a better show would be The Only Way is Dronfield.

On the football front, it was great to see both Sheffield teams winning on Saturday, aintaining their promotion push, although it is looking pretty grim for Doncaster and Chesterfield.

NOEL GALLAGHERʼS HIGH FLYING BIRDS

Due to phenomenal demand Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have added an additional 7 new dates taking in 7 new cities across the UK. The initial 7 arena dates have completely sold out – selling over 85 000 tickets. The band will be playing the Motorpoint Arena Sheffield on Sunday 19th February 2012.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds eponymous album debuted at number one last month, one of only four albums this year with sales in excess of 100 000 in it’s first week and has now been certified platinum.

“To have a whole gig of Noel’s expressive voice is a treat” NME “The stomping AKA…What A Life! and recessionary tinged Everybody’s On The Run – are his best tunes in 15 years … the odd acoustic Oasis classic turns the crowd into a massed choir.” The Guardian 4* “A second coming, powered by an elated crowd having titanic moments on the balconies and singing every word.” – Evening Standard 4* Tickets will go on sale at 9am on Friday 25th November.

Tickets are priced £59.50 £45 & £35 and will be available online at www.motorpoint arenasheffield.co.uk, in person at the Box Office or by calling 0114 256 56 56.

a) 1066 b) Kerry Katona c) A Brainless Drunk* I’m asking because this was the question posed on last night’s I’m a Zelebrity, and of the ‘celebrities’ asked, only one of them knew the answer - which goes to show that being a TV star requires absolutely intelligence whatsoever. If that weren’t the case, we’d not have Catherine Zeta Jones or Dick and Dom (can you imagine the beauty of such a world?).

And, before you say it, Stephen Fry is the exception to the rule - he’s the genius that counterbalances the drooling horde of brainless monkey buttocks.

Which mention of arses brings me neatly back to I’m a Zelebrity, which last night, saw a fascinating challenge with the three alpha males. That’s right, the beefy ‘men’ of the competition, Antony Cotton, what’s his face from The Only Way is Essex, and Fatima Whitbread, partook of a gruelling live challenge… actually that’s not fair – it’s clear there are only two guys in that line-up – no one would ever mistake Antony Cotton for a man! Ooh, controversial! I don’t really mean it. I’m just fooling!

Apparently, ITV has been getting complaints because head judge, Tulisa, does her trademarked arm gesture at the start of every show, revealing her tattoo, which says ‘The Female Boss’. This, if you didn’t know, is the name of her “fabulous” perfume, but was news to ninety nine percent of the public, none of whom had any idea who Tulisa was, never mind that she had a perfume out (incidentally, one hundred percent of the public didn’t care). So, thanks to Ofsted for bringing this to our attention and in lining Tulisa’s coffers as the walking (brain) dead all rush out to buy her perfume, which was originally called Skanque but was changed at the last minute to avoid confusion with Cheryl Cole’s new scent: Slutte.

Unhappy with the UK show’s ratings, Simon Cowell “claimed” things have profoundly changed since his time on X Factor. For instance, whenever he uttered the words ‘head judge’, half the crew would kneel.

Nowadays, on X Factor USA, things are so tight (schedule wise) he has a stage hand pull him off during the commercials (so he can go for a fag, don’t be filthy).

More hard hitting journalism smut next week. *Please note I chose these words absolutely at random and there’s no connection between b) and c).

None whatsoever. I’m glad that’s settled.

review

KATY PERRY - MOTORPOINT ARENA 12/10/11

After her much publicised dining experience the previous night up at Silversmith’s (see Google), American sweetheart Katy Perry managed to turn a cold, vacuous space in Sheffield’s industrial outskirts into a sizzling, fantasy dreamland as she brought her California Dreams tour to the Arena.

As the lights dimmed, the stage filled with Katy’s minion army of musicians and dancers revealing a sugary, saccharin set filled with candy floss, sugar canes and lollipop backdrops. A trio of big screens introduced the child-like theme of what was to come as Katy launched into ‘Teenage Dreams’ to kick the night off.

Although Mrs Brand can obviously belt out some vocals there was more to the night than just a musical performance. From the outset there was a theatrical type atmosphere with the show combining an audio visual assault of entertainment, spectacle, magic and showmanship. To be honest this is really what pop concerts should be about, you buy the CD (or mp3 these days) to listen to the music but when you are forking out a decent amount of money to see your favourite artists in the flesh it’s only right that you expect a little more. This is exactly what Miss Perry delivered, in fact, she delivered a lot more.

A dream based story flowed throughout most of the show (something about a cat going missing I believe) with videos being shown on the big screen, mainly to allow for the seventy five costume changes. There were deviations from the high tempo nature of the night, most notably when Katy took to the skies on a fluffy pink cloud. This slowed things down and allowed the audience to catch their breath but she was joined in the rafters by several acrobats and performers that retained the fantasy feel.

The party soon re-ignited resulting in the crowd becoming ever more vocal as Katy’s ‘Hot and Cold’ echoed around the arena accompanied by some clever quick fire costume changes and comical choreography. Weekend favourite ‘Last Friday Night’ and soaring anthem ‘Fireworks’ were interspersed with Whitney’s ‘I Wanna Dance with Somebody’ as the party built to a crescendo with the entire Arena partying down with Katy as their enthusiastic conductor.

As the story drew to its conclusion Katy emerged for her triumphant encore to belt out ‘California Girls’, a fantastic show stopping finale accompanied by foam cannons, confetti, ticker tape and most importantly a huge slice of crowd euphoria.

Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

Scrying Scrying is a method of divination that most psychics use as a tool to develop their psychic senses and also to foretell the future. It is an old fashioned word that means ‘seeing into something.’ The most common media used are reflective, translucent, or luminescent substances.

Visions are seen when the psychic stares into these mediums. Scrying can be used to either contact a spirit or to see into future and also the past. There are a number of methods that can be used, such as...

• A Crystal Ball/Scrying Dish • A Mirror • Tea Leaves • Clouds • Snow • Candle Flame/Wax • Divining Rods One of my favourite methods is looking into a photo or even a mirror. It can be scary to witness a face changing, especially if it’s your own.

A scrying dish that can be purchased from a new age shop is also a good method but don’t pay a lot of money for your dish, a black dish from Asda works just as well. Fill your bowl with water and add two drops of black ink. Pictures and symbols will materialise. Have a pencil and pad ready to record what you see.

Crystal Ball I have my own crystal ball, bought for me as a present. It is lovely but has an angel in it and so is not the best ball for scrying. If you want to buy a crystal ball look for one made out of rock crystal (this is considered the psychic’s stone).

Take the crystal ball in your hand and stare into it, you should see a mist forming. Shortly after pictures and symbols may appear. I recently looked into my mentor’s ball during a mediumship course and saw her uncle in hospital. Her uncle had just died and she did not know so this was a sad discovery for her.

Only scry for half an hour because it will drain your energy centre (chakra). After you have closed down put the ball in a black silk cloth.

Tea Leaf Reading I have scryed many times with tea leaves. The tea required is Earl Grey Large Leaf. The client will drink the tea, leaving a small amount of liquid in the bottom of the cup. The client swirls the remaining tea around the cup three times and slowly empties the cup’s contents onto a saucer. The reader then interprets the left tea leaves. The higher the tea leaves the sooner the event will happen Candle Flame and Wax Light a candle and stare into the flame. If it goes out on its own you have spirit present. You may see pictures in the flame. I usually see a face. You can also use the Wax Method. Let some wax drop into a bowl of cold water and watch the pictures form.

Divining Rods/Dowsing Dowsing is a form of divination. In its most common form a rod or sticks are used, sometimes forked, sometimes L-shaped. The dowser is looking for water, minerals and treasure. If the rod points downwards it means that one of these items has been found. Ancient Egyptian dowsers would be used to determine the true wishes of the Gods.

A fascinating version of dowsing is ‘map dowsing.’

The dowser stands over a map and lets the rod/stick do the work and find a particular spot. It is also used to locate missing people. I use my Citrine pendulum for that kind of work. As I have mentioned before I managed to find two dogs this way. Today I have had a request to find another dog called Fly - a brown Lurcher stolen from Oxford. I will do my very best to find this dog using meditation and my Jonny pendulum which is made up of Chakra colours.

There will be another article similar to this in the future but for now happy gazing!

COMPANIONSHIP AT CHRISTMAS

Christmas for most is a time of festive cheer and being together in the warmth of family and friends.

However sadly that’s not the case for everyone, and instead a growing number of older people will spend the festive season alone.

To help combat this increasing trend in festive isolation, national charity Abbeyfield has launched a nationwide campaign, COPE@ Xmas - creating an alternative to spending the celebratory period alone. Companionship at Christmas is inviting members of local communities with elderly neighbours living alone, family members in need of respite support and those who plan to spend the Christmas period alone to get in touch with Abbeyfield.

Actor Geofrey Palmer patron of the charity Abbeyfield is backing the campaign which is offering over 1000 overnight stays and 2000 delicious Christmas lunches throughout the season (24 December–4 January) across 120 Abbeyfield sheltered houses – totally free of charge.

According to recent research by the National Office of Statistics, one in three people over the age of 60 years will go a whole week without speaking to anyone, with a staggering one in ten people spending up to a month without any human contact. The impact loneliness has on the individual is profound, but it also has a serious knock- on effect

FIRE SERVICE CONSULTATION South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue (SYFR) has started a 14-week public consultation on proposals to address a Government funding cut which is expected to reach £10m by 2015. SYFR stress they do not want to make changes but have no alternative due to the extent of the cuts. They have already committed to cutting management and administration costs by 25%.

The proposals are: A new full-time fire station near to the Sheffield Parkway, to replace Darnall and Mansfield Road fire stations (Sheffield); A new full-time fire station at Birley, to improve cover in south-east Sheffield, and enable the closure of the part-time fire station at Mosborough; Removal of the retained duty system crews at Edlington (Doncaster) and Royston (Barnsley). Royston fire station would close; Removal of three countywide ‘roving pump’ fire engines in the north and east of Sheffield at Elm Lane , Darnall & Mansfield Rd Fire Stations; Changing the firefighter crewing system at up to six existing stations, starting with Lowedges, with no

on society as a whole. The World Health Organisation rates loneliness as a higher health risk than lifelong smoking, with researchers also linking a lack of social interaction with the onset on degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s.

On average, an estimated 850,000 Britons are chronically lonely and whilst this is a daily issue, Christmas heightens concern for older people living alone, especially with the onset of the cold snap, which could prove fatal for vulnerable people who do not see anyone over the festive period.

Commenting on the campaign, which launches on 7 December, Abbeyfield’s Director of Housing, John Crisp comments: “A sad reality is that we all know people who, due to sickness or bereavement, spend a lot of their time alone. However the thought that they might also spend the Christmas period in the same way seems harder to bear, but they need not be on their own.”

If you are: Over 55, alone over Christmas and living independently in your own home “COPE@Xmas is offering a lifeline to vulnerable people and we’re urging people to take advantage of the support we’re offering by visiting http:// www.abbeyfield.com/Pages/Cope@ Xmas2011.aspx today to nominate themselves, someone they know or a family member who may be a long distance from loved ones.” For more information on COPE@Xmas visit our campaign website www. abbeyfield.com call 0845 052 3553 free to call from BT landlines.

effect on emergency response times.

Feedback through the consultation period is welcome, and any alternative proposals will need to make at least the same level of savings due to the likely budget cut. The proposals currently out to consultation, together with other internal staffing changes, will save around £4m per year following a one-off investment of £3.65m, including two new fire stations.

A national photography competition sets out to challenge our preconceptions about how older people interact with technology now and in the future.

Entitled ‘Left to Our Own Devices’, the contest is run jointly by AgeUK, a national charity, and KT EQUAL, a research consortium dedicated to improving the lives of older and disabled people.

Entries will be judged not only on their photographic merit but also on how they address issues related to the central theme of older people’s interactions with technology -- perhaps by challenging stereotypes, defying expectations or delivering a powerful message.

The most successful images will be selected from across four categories: • Gadgets and Gizmos • In the Home • Out and About • An open category All the selected images will be included in a touring exhibition that will visit the Parliament at Westminster and the Assemblies at Cardiff and Stormont, and finishing at the Scottish Parliament next spring.

One image in each category will also receive a cash prize of £250.

The contest is free to enter at http:// lefttoourowndevices.org.uk, where users can also browse other entries and take part in online discussions on the thoughts they provoke. The closing date for entries is 31 January 2012.

DONCASTER RACECOURSE WINS BIG AT SHOWCASE AWARDS

Doncaster Racecourse was celebrating on Thursday after being crowned Showcase Champion at the RCA Showcase Awards Dinner, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse.

Whilst the Yorkshire course also walked away with the Award for best Free Racing Day, for their Royal Wedding Race Day, they won the overall prize thanks to their overall innovation, excellence and marketing strategies.

The awards celebrate the overall excellence and innovation that has being shown

by Racecourses across the country and were hosted by the Racecourse Association in conjunction with Racing for Change.

Overall, there were 86 initiatives entered for consideration from 37 racecourses, as well as group submissions from Jockey Club Racecourses and Northern Racing and Events. They were judged by an independent panel consisting of Louise Agran (Racing Post), Janet Uttley (Visit England), Abigail Sawyer (BBC), David Fraser (Harrison:Fraser) and

was chaired by Chris McFadden of Racing Enterprises Ltd. On presenting the award to Mark Spincer, Managing Director of Doncaster Racecourse, joint host for the evening, David Fraser commented: “The Sales through Service submission made by Doncaster demonstrated eloquent use of social media and was very well thought out; similarly, the Royal Wedding Race day used social media very effectively.

Overall, however, the judges thought that Doncaster’s efforts over the last

year to improve the customer experience was particularly impressive in many fields, which is why we made the racecourse Showcase Champion 2011” Mark Spincer thanked the judging panel and added: “I am absolutely delighted to receive the awards and recognition on behalf of the team at Doncaster, we are all very proud of what we have achieved and to receive this type of accolade from within the horse racing industry”.

Saturday 10th December will see Bjorn the Polar Bear arrive at Crystal Peaks, Bjorn is a fully animated life sized polar bear with blinking eyes, a sniffing nose, an opening mouth and live sounds. Bjorn is incredibly life-like, playful and interactive; shoppers are encouraged to stroke and pat him.

To make Bjorn feel at home at Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre an inflatable ice sculpture will become his home for the duration of his visit. Herders Ursula and Arthur will accompany Bjorn and they will be on hand to answer questions about polar bears. They will also give a fascinating talk on polar bears and their environment.

Finally, on Saturday 17th December Festive Stilt Walkers will be at the centre to entertain the crowds and to help make those last few days of Christmas shopping that little bit more fun.

And don’t forget that our Magical 3D Christmas Grotto is now open and will remain open throughout the Festive Season for children to come and visit Santa Claus and join Rocket the Reindeer on his amazing North Pole adventure.

VOICE OF THE NIGHTINGALE CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK

by Ruth Cherrington

A few weeks back, I wrote about people writing about clubs. I’d like to say a bit more on this subject and give you a few more examples that have come my way.

There are people who were inspired to write about clubs because of entertaining parents who worked in clubland. Former Leicester lad Cal Swann, now an Australian resident, spent years researching his family’s roots.

‘Threads: a life part remembered’ is the result and it’s of great interest to us at Club Historians MAGIC AM as his mother was a local club

by Trevor Thomas Have you ever fancied living the entertainer. Rosina Swann sang throughout the 1920s/30s in jet style life of Simon Cowell or Midlands clubs. The book includes Sir Elton John?

Here at Magic, I am proud to the mystery of Cal’s biological announce that we are giving you father, who he believes may the chance to be treated like a also have been an entertainer his megastar for day. In fact, the prize mother met whilst doing the club is the next best thing to actually circuit. Another Midlander turned joining 80s sensations Duran Aussie is Maria Fletcher whose Duran. father was a club entertainer. She Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and the boys will be at the Sheffield wrote to me that ‘It may seem a Motorpoint Arena on December long way from the tropical heat of 14th and if you win a special Brisbane, to the Working Men’s competition that will be running Club Circuit of Northern England, next week on my breakfast show, but for me, it’s only a memory you’ll get to spend time with the or two away!’ Originally from band, with full VIP backstage Stoke on Trent but now living access thrown in. During the gig you will also take pride of place in Tasmania, her father Gerry with two seats on the front row.

Gerry was one of Barry Lomas’s acts, and travelled the on Magic.

Club circuit all around England and Wales, sometimes sharing the stage with other acts like Billy ‘Pet” Clarke, the drag queen with a pet snake. His tours saw him travel as far as the Outer Hebrides to entertain troops that had just returned from Ireland; and several tours of the Shetland Islands.

Club artists had to have a strong sense of confidence and belief in themselves, according to Maria based on listening to her father’s experiences. Gerry feels that a ‘real’ artist never stops learning; never stops singing.’ There was always something to learn in the clubs, each one with their own characteristic ways of running the show. It seems that parents who were club entertainers have often passed an interest in their work on to their children, who may write about it rather than slap on the greasepaint themselves.

ALL WELCOME TO VISIT CHARITY NIGHT AT LOWOOD CLUB THE PEGGY TUB Rd, Stocksbridge S36 2EJ FOR THE TROOPS NewTEL: 0114 288 2142 All Welcome along with the local Bikers !

Lowood Club in Deepcar is holding a Fun Night for All, raising funds for not one but TWO wonderful causes – “Help for Heroes” and “Afghan heroes”.

The event takes place on Saturday 26th November from 7.00 pm and the line up features two great bands, (who have kindly donated their time free of charge) VAMP and local boys ONE FOR THE ROAD. The night also includes a Charity Auction (with a professional auctioneer more used to selling cattle and sheep!) and a free buffet.

We are also grateful for the anticipated support from local motorcycle dealers BMW Rainbow and Harley World, who in November usually help us with similar events in aid of Bike-riders’ charity NABD, but this year in Poppy Month we felt it more appropriate to support those troops who have given, and continue to give their all for us.

Our chosen charities help serving, injured and bereaved troops and their families so we are hoping everyone, including our local Bikers, will com along and give their support on the night!

We would also appreciate any items for the raffle and auctions, especially as there is no entry fee! If you are abl to donate, please drop them off at Lowood Club anytime or simply bring them along on the night – everything will be used to benefit the cause!

If you require further details please feel free to contact Stuart Gregory on 07974 150957 or call in at the Club on Station Road, Deepcar.

SAXON INVASION CD PRODUCTION Never tired of the road, British metal veterans Saxon will be returning to the UK for the second time this year with a string of live shows in December, stopping off at the O2 Academy on Monday December 19th.

Saxon are hot on the heels of a US tour in support of their latest acclaimed release ‘Call to Arms’, where both album and shows replicated the success already enjoyed in the UK with public and critics alike.

“This is probably the best album we’ve written and recorded in the last 20 years,” states Biff Byford unapologetically, ”It’s the perfect embrace of our past with a great modern edge.”

Lead vocalist and main man Biff Byford keeps leading the pack and mesmerizing audiences with his performances, never shy of energy, drive and enthusiasm. “It doesn’t matter if we are playing for 90,000 people or 2000 people, as long as they are there to see us play, we are happy,” Byford recently commented. Paul Quinn and Doug Scarratt on guitars, Nibbs Carter on bass and Nigel Glockler on drums complete the current line-up. Saxon will be playing unforgettable classics and more recent material from Call to Arms.

PREVIEW: DOWNLOAD 2012

ARTICLE: TRAMLINES VICTORY

by KT Evans

Well if the 2012 ‘end of the world’ theories are anything to go by, we’re all going to miss a cracking line-up as rock festival Download has outdone itself once again with the announcement of next year’s headliners. A massive variation between the acts on the main stage, the popular summer event, held from 8th – 10th June at Donnington Park will see new, old and down-right obscure to secure the festival as one of the UK’s finest rock concerts around.

Last year, well…Download was transformed into a thorough rockers Mecca with the likes of Def Leopard, System of a Down and The Darkness running the rounds at the three day spectacular.

Always a tough one to follow, the producers have come up trumps with an announced re-union to wow even the most traditional of music fans.

Taking to the main stage at Download 2012…

Black Sabbath! Now we’re not messing around with a poor replica of the original line-up, this amazing appearance will see the entire thoroughbred Sabbath as they were back from 1969 take to the stage, which yes, you guessed it, will witness the return of rock’s ultimate legend Ozzy Osbourne. Be prepared for light bolting riffs within the likes of ‘Iron Man’ and anthemic numbers ‘Paranoid’ and ‘The Mob Rules,’ Black Sabbath are the true back bone of the rock music industry and one you really don’t want to be missing.

The second announced headliner at Download 2012 is arguably one of the best live bands ever to grace stages around the world. Classic rockers and all round first-rate showmen, Metallica are to smash it up with the audience at the anticipated weekend next year. Although slightly predictable or somewhat of a common fixture in rock music festivals these days, its unarguable to take away the ridiculous amounts of success Metallica have gain throughout their thirty one years of being on the scene.

Finally and in a total opposing vein to the previous heavy metal genre of the already announced headliners, The Prodigy are the final band to hold up next year’s event. Ones for putting on a notoriously hazardous live show to make even the hardiest of mosher’s quake, the Prodigy are famed for their adrenaline fuelled numbers ‘Fire Starter’ and ‘Omen’ which all snatched top chart positions both in and around the UK. Front runners within the drum ‘n’ bass, electro dance movement, The Prodigy are festival favourites and sure guarantee a dangerously exciting performance.

Tickets are on sale now starting from £155, available from the official Download website www.downloadfestiva.co.uk) Don’t you even think about missing this one!

We all have exceptionally fond memories of Sheffield’s three day weekend festival Tramlines, whether it be standing in the (for a limited time) rain to watch Reverend and the Makers perform at the first event in 2009 or getting • Pro Studio Facilities your indie groove on to Future Heads at the latest, Tramlines has once again put • Full Production Facilities Sheffield on the map as a deep-rooted music From Only £10 Per Hour haven within the UK. And guess what it’s only gone and won itself…Best UK • CD Duplication/ Printing/ Metropolitan festival 2012! Like a child on Wrapping available from its first day at school, we are so proud!

Saxon, Monday 19th December 2011 only £2 Per CD Held in London on 15th November, the award Tickets £18.50, www.o2academysheffield.co.uk is in its third year of running and has crowned The Camden Crawl historic winners in both 2009 and 2010. However this year was the turn of Tramlines, deserved winners of such a prestigious title. Awarding a town or city for using its own infrastructure to put on an urban event, Sheffield fought off competition from Email: spreadercraig@yahoo.co.uk The Great Escape in Brighton, Dot to Dot in Bristol, Nottingham and Manchester along with The Camden Crawl. Although a hugely tough category, Tramlines emerged victorious with a win all Sheffielders can be proud of.

Increasing in their popularity, Metropolitan festivals offer an alternative to the traditional let’s go camping, let’s get muddy shindig, allowing for audiences of all ages to watch bands both outdoors aswell as on indoor stages across many different venues.

This was certainly the case for Sheffield’s Tramlines, which held acts on over thirty T Shirts, Leather Jackets, venues to include The Leadmill, O2 Academy, Corporation aswell as Frog and Parrot and Clothing, Footwear, Jewellery... the Green Room. Sarah Nulty, the Festival A Little Bit of Everything Director expressed her excitement for the award. ‘As you can image we are all over the 97 Devonshire street_sheffield_0114 249 3461 moon! There are so many people behind the www.rockyhorrors.co.uk scenes working on Tramlines in their own Open 10-6 monday-friday _ 11-5 Sunday time and totally for free – getting industry recognition like this is exactly what they deserve!’

Attracting over 150,000 people in its third year of running, James Drury, Managing Director of Festival Awards also commented on Sheffield’s massive success. ‘In only three years Tramlines has established itself as a force to be reckoned with. It’s a great achievement to win this award in such a short space of time and is a testament to the hard work of everyone involved.’

Angler’s Corner Racing Form

by Clint Walker

After my success last week with a rather splendid perch, this week has been nowhere near as good....I should be fishing now, but I have to go to my step daughter’s house to refit a broken door handle as her partner is obviously DIY dyslexic and is completely unable to do it. This fills me with some dismay, not particularly because I could be fishing, but more so because I have to do it knowing full well he won’t even try because he has been at work.....so what? So have I! The van is even loaded with tackle, bait, and dinner and will have to be unpacked before I nip round to see her and now my wife has now given me a list of tasks to complete “....because you’re not going fishing!” To counter, I have decided to write today’s column and avoid some of my duties whilst sulking like a small boy.....glum; not happy!

Does it ever happen to you too though? All ready to go, maybe for an overnight session, before an unexpected, inconsequential event which leads to plans being cancelled? I hate it if I’m honest, I love going fishing whatever the weather and whatever slim chance there is of catching, and I’ll still venture forth in hope and desperation just to get out onto the bankside. I often wonder if my ‘hobby’ is seen as something less valuable because it’s just for me and not a family evolution. I think so, but I hope it’s not the same in your house.....

I know I should finish the wallpapering, complete the sanding of the skirting boards or start putting up tiles in the kitchen, but I find my mind wanders to the water and I would much prefer to follow it! Yesterday, after finishing work at 0900, I lifted a complete floor to get rid of it, walked the dog, washed up, did a load of laundry, washed up (again!), wrote an article, cleared part of the garden, washed up(again!), swept up, hovered through and mopped the floors in readiness for a day off today, so I feel justified in having a ‘bloke moan’!

There is some light at the end of the tunnel though; postman has just been and handed me a delivery of Jack Pyke clothing and boots which have been kindly sent by Glenn Lewis at Thatchreed for me to review and I’m expecting some Greys ‘Prowla’ gear in the very near future to look at. My workload changes at this time of year, from fishing (mainly) to writing which is something I plan for each year as the weather cools. It’s easy enough to do when I’m out and about; I fish, then I write about it. If I am unable to go, (frozen lakes, DIY dyslexics etc) then it gets a little more difficult; writing catch reports for Carp-Talk magazine when no-one else is catching makes me scratch my head a bit and articles for other publications take twice as long! Roll on Summer!

This is always an interesting weekend. There are six races scheduled to be shown on Channel 4. The Grade 3 Hennessy Gold Cup Handicap is one of the most competitive handicaps run at Newbury and is usually a great spectacle. Not only are there some really good races there but up at Newcastle the Grade 1 Stanjames. com Fighting Fifth Hurdle can provide clues to the Champion Hurdle and quite often throws up a surprise winner.

Newbury has a good novice chase on each of Thursday and Friday and on Saturday has the limited handicap Listed Sportingbet Intermediate Hurdle (registered as the Gerry Feilden Hurdle) and the Grade 2 Sportingbet Long Distance Hurdle to preface the day’s big event, the Hennessy Gold Cup Handicap Chase – a Grade 3 handicap over 3 miles 2 ½ furlongs.

Newbury: 2.05 Sportingbet Intermediate Hurdle (Limited Handicap) Listed, 2 miles ½ furong: This is something of an enigma. I could probably choose any one of at least a dozen horses and not get anywhere near finding the winner. There are some really good up-and-coming younger horses taking on more seasoned campaigners with solid form in the book. Many of the top stables are represented, some with more than one entry. There are three hat-trick seekers and one seeking a four-timer in the field, not to mention a further three last time out winners. However, having given this a fairly close scrutiny I have plumped for Nicky Henderson’s four year old A Media Luz who ran well behind Brampour last time out. That one went on to land the Greatwood Hurdle in convincing fashion at Cheltenham on his next start and will contest the Fighting Fifth up at Newcastle this day.

There are too many dangers to list.

2.35 Sportingbet Long Distance Hurdle, Grade 2, 3 miles ½ furlong: This race could almost be paraphrased as “the Big Bucks benefit” hurdle as he is something of a standing dish here and now goes for his third successive win in this race. I used to think that Duc de Regniere had a chance to beat him but he has twice been outgunned so I am leaving him out of calculations this time. I usually field against Big Bucks as he is never any sort of price but I must admit that his record speaks for itself so I suppose I’ll just roll over and go with the flow this year. Just watch that get him beat when I’m not opposing him!! Selection: Big Bucks; dangers (if there are any): Duc de Regniere; Five Dream; Sparky May. 3.10 Hennessy Gold Cup Handicap Chase, Grade 3, 3 miles 2 ½ furlongs: It is difficult to overlook the impressive way that Great Endeavour trounced his rivals in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham a fortnight ago when he sprinted clear going up the hill, showing no signs of stopping. However he has never won beyond 21 furlongs so the extra distance here is a slight concern and I am relying on the mastery of the stable to ensure that he is spot-on on Saturday. If he is found wanting it could be Scottish Grand National winner Beshabar who benefits most although the furlong drop back in trip will help Carruthers as well. Despite being

well beaten by Beshabar in the Scottish National at Ayr top weight Neptune Collonges isn’t out of this either, as young Harry Derham takes a handy 7lb off his burden, but from jockey bookings one would think that the stable’s best shot lies with Ruby Walsh and Aiteenthirtythree. The best of the Irish challengers to my mind is Joncol. Others well worth a mention are Fair Along (goes well here), Blazing Bailey (stable in form but pulled up in the Scottish National) and Qhilimar (carries only a feather weight and comes from an in-form outfit).

3.45 Sportingbet Handicap Chase (0-145) Class 2, 2 miles 4 furlongs: The bet here is Paul Nicholls’ top weight Fistral Beach who should have too many guns for these.

Charlie Mann’s Moon Over Miami looks next best with Qulinton, Safari Journey, Riguez Dancer, Passato, Aigle D’Or,, Keki Buku, Cosigliere, Piraya and Zarrafakt all having chances of sorts.

Newcastle: 2.20 Stanjames.com Fighting Fifth Hurdle, 2 miles, Grade 1: Brampour (Nap) is the selection. This is a fast improving animal that can see off Binocular for a famous win. The manner of his victory in the Greatwood Hurdle was very impressive and he looks to be in the form of his life just now. If he doesn’t go then the other Nicholls entry, Celestial Halo, is the selection as this one was also impressive when landing the Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton recently. Overturn also ran very well at Ascot last weekend and rates the main danger but Nicholls should know where he stands with this one through King of the Night (admittedly soundly beaten by Overturn last week). I just can’t have Binocular who to my mind is a horse that flatters to deceive often, even if he is a classy animal.

3.30 At The Races Rehearsal Chase (Handicap), Listed, 3 miles: Brooklyn Brownie has only a feather weight and is a speculative choice to score (he is getting on a bit). Top weight Hey Big Spender looks to be the main threat although Garleton has been running consistently well this year and is another danger. Deep Purple can also go well on occasions and represents a good outfit, as does Take the Breeze. The others that may figure prominently are Fred Bojangals and Indian Pipe Dream.

Selection summary: Newbury: 2.05 A Media Luz 2.35 Big Bucks 3.10 Great Endeavour 3.45 Fistral Beach Newcastle: 2.20 Brampour (Nap) (if absent Celestial Halo) 3.30 Brooklyn Brownie Last week’s results: For the second week in a row the selections drew a blank for a straight 9 point loss to one point level stakes. Some relatively near misses didn’t ease the pain I’m afraid. Must do better!! One slightly redeeming feature was that some of the reserves ran well at relatively big prices (Kauto Star – 1st @ 6/1, Benny Be Good – 2nd at 20/1 and Katchit 3rd @ 33/1).

Saturday: Haydock: 2.30 Kayf Aramis- 16th @ 22/1 3.05 Diamond Harry – 4th @ 7/2 3.40 Killyglen – 3rd @ 15/2 Ascot: 2.10 Somersby – 2nd @ 2/1 2.45 King of the Night – 4th @ 5/1 3.20 Anquetta – Fell 1st (3/1)

S&HFA Senior Cup Round 4 Packhorse Inn were defeated by Athersley Recreation 3-1 in the fourth round of the Senior Cup. A goal from Adam Simpson for Packhorse had made sure the game ended 1-1 after ninety minutes, but they were seen off in extra-time.

Mosborough A were also beaten 3-1. Their defeat came in normal time to Worksop Borough.

Good news did come from Chaucer Sports Centre, as Wadsley Bridge WMC beat Upton Wrangbrook comfortably 5-1 to progress to round five. The goals came from Nathan Tankard (2), Kieran Goff, Bradley Spencer and Marc Williams.

S&HFA Junior Cup Round 4 The big winners in the Junior Cup were Penistone Church, who emphatically saw off Eastfield Harriers 9-2. Tim Council contributed four goals to the cause, and Lewis Dickinson and Elliot Smith scored three and two goals respectively.

The game of the day came between Beighton Magpies and African Dream Team. Adem Mohamedin scored four goals to inspire the Dream Team to a dramatic 6-5 win.

The only other Meadowhall League team to progress was City Taxis New Inn. They beat Ludwood & District 4-0 at the HSBC Sports Club.

Goals from Joe Rowlands and Adam Dickinson may have been enough to secure Hackenthorpe B a 2-2 draw after 120 minutes away at the Welfare. Sadly, they were defeated 3-1 on penalties.

Two goals from Todd Jordan for Division Two leaders Rawson Spring were in vain, as they were downed 3-2 by the Niagara.

Hackenthorpe Villa were narrowly defeated 1-0 by the Ranch at Reignhead Farm.

Lastly, Mosborough B were beat 5-1 by the Anchor at home.

Premier Division Leaders Hackenthorpe A consolidated their position at the top of the Premier Division, with a 3-1 away against Handsworth Turf Tavern. Luke Dixon, Scott Mullooly and Karl Colley got the goals for the pace-setters.

High Noon kept up the pressure on the leaders with an exciting 6-3 win over Greenhill White Hart. Chris Barnes played a key part for the High Noon scoring three times, once from the spot.

The Royal Earl remain undefeated after a 1-1 draw at home against Sharrow United. They sit five points of the lead, with a game in hand.

Division One Mark West scored twice for Jack-in-a-Box as they recorded an excellent 2-1 away win over leaders HSBC. HSBC were undefeated before this game and will be hoping to bounce back next week when they host second placed Brunsmeer Abbey. Jack-in-a-Box’s win keeps them in fourth place.

Brunsmeer Abbey were also pegged back. They drew 3-3 away against Intake Ball Inn. Intake Ball Inn only had one point before the game and were helped along by two goals from Bradley Hanson.

Division Two Goals from Liam Young and Joe Charlesworth gave bottomof-the-league Ridgeway Athletic an excellent point, as they drew 2-2 with high-flying Heeley. Kurtis Hodder and Danny Major grabbed the goals for Heeley. Heeley sit in third after their promotion.

A double act from Richardson and Brand gave Winn Gardens an emphatic 5-1 away win over Norton Oaks A. Richardson scored a hat-trick and Brand notched a brace.

Division Three There was just one fixture in Division Three between the Barrel Inn and Woodhouse Juniors. Goals from Henry Bradshaw, Adam Gray and Adam Wragg gave Woodhouse a comfortable 3-0 win. The result also puts them back top of the league.

U21 Division Sharrow United kept their place at the top of the U21 Division, after they beat Norton Oaks U21 8-1 at Parsons Cross Park. Imran Rahman was an outstanding performer, scoring twice for Sharrow.

Two goals from Tom Collier inspired Dronfield Town U21 to a 4-1 win over Throstles U21. Dronfield now sit a point off the lead with a game in hand.

It was a day of heavy defeats in the U21 Division, Greasebrough U21 were beat 5-0 at home by Mosborough U21. Mosborough sit in third, only three points back.

Lastly, Bradley McCormick scored a hat-trick and Tom Morton a brace as Dronfield Athletic U21 beat Grenoside U21’s 7-2 away from home.

MILLERS GRAB POINTS MATCH REPORT www.themillers.co.uk

Conrad Logan made himself a hero by saving a lastgasp penalty as Rotherham won 3-2 at Bradford.

Lewis Grabban’s first-half penalty was cancelled out by Chris Mitchell, but the Millers opened up a two-goal lead through Alex Revell and Marcus Marshall.Michael Flynn scored a late penalty for the Bantams to throw the hosts a lifeline, and they nearly capitalised when they were awarded a second penalty at the death.

However Logan produced a fine save from Flynn’s second in what proved to be the last kick of the game as Rotherham went home triumphant after a pulsating game.

Andy Scott made four changes to the starting ranks for the Millers’ trip to West Yorkshire.In defence, Jon Harley returned at left-back while Johnny Mullins stepped in at centre-half as loanee Guy Branston wasn’t eligible for selection against his parent club.Brett Williams and Danny Schofield also began in place of Luke Foster and Chris Holroyd.

The Millers came flying out of the blocks and came close to scoring within the first minute. Danny Harrison stooped low to meet a dangerous corner by Gareth Evans but Jon McLaughlin smothered the ball.

A well-worked manoeuvre created another chance for Rotherham. Harrison bisected the Bantams’ defence with a perfectly-weighted through-ball for Dale Tonge, but the right-back’s cross had just too much purchase for Brett Williams to make a true connection with his header.

The Millers an early blow as the lively Evans was forced to withdraw from the game.The winger was left in a heap from a crunching tackle by Michael Flynn and wasn’t able to run off the knock, so Marcus Marshall was introduced.

The Bantams’ first clear chance came from a cheaplyconceded corner.Luke Oliver rose highest and thought he had opened the scoring but Schofield headed clear on the goal-line.

At the other end, Williams’ cross into the box appeared to hit a hand after an industrious run down the right flank.After much consultation the referee eventually awarded Rotherham with a penalty, which Grabban struck confidently into the bottom corner to open the scoring.

The game was stretched wide open after the goal and a long ball forward from Harley found Grabban with acres of space to run at goal, but his shot was shanked over the crossbar.

Bradford were starting to look threatening from set-pieces and Jack Compton drilled a shot goalwards from outside the box after the Millers only half-cleared, but Conrad Logan held the ball comfortably.

The hosts were gradually getting a foothold in the game after the Millers’ bright start and could have levelled on the half-hour mark.Nahki Wells escaped down the left-wing to put the Bantams two-on-one but a crucial interception by Tonge denied Craig Fagan a tap-in.

However the hosts levelled shortly after through Chris

ROVERS LOSE OUT IN LOCAL DERBY MATCH REPORT www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

The first local South Yorkshire ‘Derby’ game of the season was the offering after the international break.

Having had a fortnight’s rest both teams will be raring to go. For the Rovers Pascal Chimbonda was missing having suffered a knock in training. James O’Connor replaced him and on-loan signing Carl Ikeme took over from Neil Sullivan in goal.

The Rovers kicked off but Barnsley were first to attack and win a corner in the second minute. Two minutes later the first caution was handed out when O’Connor fouled Vaz Te, Then Butterfield, for the home team, had a go from 30yards on the right. Ikeme could only push it out for a corner. In the 11th minute Vaz Te on the left angle of the penalty area hit a low ball to the near post where Ikeme got down to push it round the post for a corner.

Barnsley had the better of the first fifteen minutes but the Rovers worked their way into the game without troubling their goal. Then, in the 30th minute, a ball was played through for DAVIES, who appeared to lose the ball when Martis tackled him but the Rovers man slipped on the turf and left the Barnsley forward to slot past the keeper for the opening goal. Fairly even play followed to the half time break, with neither keeper having much to do.

It had been a poor first half that didn’t warm the crowd on a cold day.

The home team set the ball rolling and three minutes in Butterfield was just wide from 25yards. Then O’Connor, on the Rovers right, lifted the ball into the middle where Friend got in a header that Steele saved. Minutes later Vaz Te, on the home left, put well wide of the far post.

A free kick from the Rovers left was caused a melee in the Barnsley six-yard box before Steele blocked Friend’s effort as the two battled for the ball whilst on the floor.

Then, in the 64th minute, Done, for the home team got past a defender on the left byline before crossing for DAVIES to hit a sidefootvolley past Ikeme from ten yards. A couple of minutes later Stock had a left foot effort tipped over by Steele and at the other end Davies was shut out by three Rovers defenders. In the 68th minute, Done had a shot charged down and then Vaz Te put wide from 30 yards. Then, in the 71st minute, Diouf was fouled and awarded the free kick but Lockwood barged into Foster and was shown a red card. From that point on it was nearly all Barnsley. Butterfield had two shots from the edge of the area saved, a shot from Davies on the right hit the near post and rolled across to the other post where Haynes somehow contrived to not put it into the net. In added time Gillett got in a shot from 30 yards but was wide and with the last kick of the game Butterfield put over from a free kick on the edge of the area.

Mitchell.Compton made a jinking run down the left-wing before delivering a perfect cross for his midfield partner who thundered home a header from close range.

The Millers reacted instantly and Alex Revell tested McLaughlin with a volley on the turn after deft control on the chest but the stopper was well-positioned to save.

Then substitute Marshall came within a whisker of scoring as he pounced on a clearance which was more up than out, but his athletic overhead-kick flew just wide of the near post.

Rotherham began the second half in the same energetic fashion as the first and it wasn’t long before their efforts were rewarded with a goal.Schofield’s mazy run had the Bantams’ left-back Luke O’Brien scrambling before squaring for Revell, and the striker’s shot crept into the net via a deflection and the inside of the post.

It could have been three shortly after but Marshall was denied from a tight angle by McLaughlin after meeting a cross from deep at the back post, and Williams’ shot was blocked on the rebound.

Marshall wasn’t to be denied for long though.Schofield was denied by an incredible fingertip save by McLaughlin after great work on the wing by Grabban, but the Bradford goalkeeper was left completely exposed by his defence and the substitute had the simple task of sliding the ball in from close range.

With a two-goal deficit the hosts looked short of ideas as the Millers continued to control the tempo and frustrate the home fans inside the Coral Windows Stadium.

Bradford boss Phil Parkinson made the bold move of a triple-substitution with 20 minutes left as James Hanson, Ross Hannah and Kyel Reid were all introduced, while Tom Newey took the field shortly after for the Millers by replacing Williams.

Chances were coming at a premium in the closing stages though with Rotherham defending resolutely despite Bradford ringing the changes.

Logan was on hand again in the 84th minute as another Bradford corner caused trouble for the Millers but the goalkeeper was well positioned to collect a dangerous goalwards header.

Logan again showed his agility by producing a late save from the head of Hanson but the flag had already gone up to rule the striker offside.

As the game drifted into stoppage time the Millers conceded a penalty as a loose ball struck the arm of Mullins.Flynn converted his penalty to set up a grandstand finish.

Hanson came within inches of levelling for the Bantams only to see Reid’s dangerous cross nicked away from him for a corner.From the resulting set-piece Flynn hammered a knock-down goalwards and the referee spotted another handball and awarded a second stoppage-time penalty to the Bantams.

However Logan produced a fine save - and held onto the ball - to deny Flynn an equaliser from 12 yards, and the referee blew for full-time as Logan cleared upfield, sending Rotherham back to South Yorkshire with all three points.

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2011/12 LOWE WINS IT FOR OWLS MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

The Owls came from behind to secure an impressive away win at Tranmere on Saturday.

Jose Baxter gave Rovers a first half lead before Chris Lines equalised just before the break.

But substitute Ryan Lowe struck with ten minutes to go to ensure Wednesday keep the heat on Charlton and Huddersfield in the two automatic promotion places in League 1.

Gary Megson was forced to shuffle his pack as hamstring victim Lewis Buxton gave way to Liam Palmer, who was fresh from Under-21 international duty with Scotland.

Elsewhere, Stephen Bywater resumed between the sticks in place of Richard O’Donnell and Reda Johnson came in at left back for Julian Bennett.

After a scrappy start to the contest, the hosts came close to opening the scoring when the lively Baxter tried a long range dipping effort that had just too much purchase to land beneath the crossbar.

Rovers threatened again 20 minutes in, with Mustafa Tiryaki heading over when the striker might have done better from skipper John Welsh’s cross.

For their part, the Owls saw plenty of the ball but struggled to make an impression beyond the engine room.

The better chances of the half fell to Tranmere and the ball was in the net on the half-hour mark when Baxter headed home from six yards but the goal was chalked off by the linesman’s raised flag.

The 2,000-strong travelling contingent from Sheffield had to wait until the latter stages of the first 45 to see their side muster a shot on target.

James O’Connor linked up well with Chris O’Grady, who neatly set up Lines but the midfielder’s shot was comfortably collected by Owain Fon Williams.

Eight minutes before the break, Rovers struck the goal that gave Les Parry’s side a deserved lead.

Baxter picked up possession just outside the penalty area and a clever dummy gave the popular midfield man the time and space to pick his slot past Bywater.

But just as Tranmere seemed to be heading down the tunnel in the

ascendancy, Wednesday struck out of the blue on the stroke of half time.

Ben Marshall’s long throw caused a melee in the box and the ball fell kindly to Lines, who struck hard and low from 18 yards to claim his second strike in as many games to level the score.

Lowe replaced Gary Madine for the start of the second period but it was man of the moment Lines who came close to taking the plaudits with a wonderful half volley that fizzed narrowly over the crossbar.

Palmer also went close minutes later, beating two players before unleashing a fierce drive that beat Fon Williams but also the upright.

It was much better from Wednesday as the second 45 unfolded - the spark that was lacking in the first half reappeared and Rovers were on the back foot.

Marshall began to assert his authority on the game and the Tranmere defence struggled to combat the livewire loanee.

Only some stout defending on the back post by David Buchanan prevented Lowe notching after trademark trickery down the left from Marshall.

Tranmere responded with Andy Robinson bringing a fine save out of Bywater before Baxter should have restored the Merseysiders’ lead but his angled sidefooter fell the wrong side of the post.

O’Grady had a chance moments later at the other end but lofted over the bar before Fon Williams thwarted Lowe with a fine near post save.

But Lowe was not to be denied and the prolific frontman settled the game ten minutes from time.

Marshall’s cross was headed back across

by Johnson and Lowe was right on the spot three yards out to head into an empty net and hand the Owls a valuable victory.

GAFFERʼS REACTION www.swfc.co.uk

Gary Megson says the win at Tranmere on Saturday will prove one of the hardest tests of the long League 1 campaign.

The Owls ground out a hard-fought 2-1 win over the Pennines after coming from behind to claim success.

Tranmere bossed the first half but Wednesday hit back to dominate the second and ultimately take the points.

Megson said: “That was one of the toughest tests we have had all season and I am delighted to come through it with the win.

“This is a very difficult place to come to and a very important three points to take away.

“The goal we conceded was a poor one from our point of view but we got back into the game at the perfect time with the goal from Chris Lines and then we ground out a win.”

Megson was full of praise for substitute Ryan Lowe, who came off the bench to fire Wednesday to victory.

He added: “When we scored the winning goal, I couldn’t see who had got it because of the celebrations but if you’d have asked me who I guessed had scored, I would have said Ryan Lowe.

“That’s what he does, he scores goals.

I’m really pleased for Ryan and it shows the importance of having four quality strikers at the club.”

Sheffield Wednesday have signed James Tavernier from Premiership side Newcastle United on an emergency loan deal.

Tavernier will stay with the Owls until January 2012.

The 20-year-old is versatile in the rearguard, at home in both the right back and centre back berth.

He rose through the Leeds United academy ranks for six years before switching to Newcastle, where he signed a professional contract in 2008.

The defender established himself in the reserve team on Tyneside before debuting for the Newcastle seniors in July 2009.

Tavernier has already enjoyed a successful loan stint in League 1 this season, with Carlisle United, for whom he made 17 first team appearances.

He is eligible for the Owls’ home clash with Leyton Orient on Saturday.

CHED PROVIDES MATCHWINNER AGAINST CARLISLE MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk

United’s number nine, Ched Evans, proved to be the matchwinner in the home clash with Carlisle United.

Saturday’s encounter was Carlisle’s first visit to Bramall Lane since 1986 when another player associated with United’s nine shirt, Keith Edwards, was the scorer of the only goal.

Danny Wilson’s Blades were well on top in this game but had to survive a nervy final ten minutes after Richard Cresswell had a second half penalty saved by goalkeeper Adam Collin.

After the FA Cup victory over Oxford, boss Wilson named an unchanged team and formation. On the bench, Jean-Francois returned, back after international duty with Haiti, whilst Flynn, a goalscorer seven days earlier, was also a substitute. Carlisle’s midfield included two former Blades Thirlwell and McGovern.

Williamson was the prominent early performer. He had won a corner and volleyed over inside the opening 90 seconds and then came close to opening the scoring on six minutes.

After a scrappy passage of play, the Carlisle defence backed off the United midfielder, whose shot from 20 yards was deflected onto the crossbar by goalkeeper Collin. The rebound fell to Cresswell but he was unable to steer the ball into the empty net following an awkward bounce.

Carlisle’s early efforts all appeared to be repelled by the head of Collins, whilst two long-range free-kicks failed to trouble Simonsen. At the other end, however, Williamson was once again involved as United grasped the lead on 21 minutes. He provided the corner from the left, Cresswell flicked on at the front post, Maguire challenged at the back, and the ball dropped invitingly for EVANS to fire in from close range.

The visitors had a quick chance to hit back but Michalik failed to get enough on to Berrett’s free-kick, although the referee mysteriously awarded a corner, whilst Evans had an opportunity to double his tally but saw his shot blocked by Livesey. Chances continued at both ends - Evans curled a free-kick wide after he was fouled on the edge of the box, whilst for Carlisle, Miller fired into the side-netting.

Collins and Williamson were booked in quick succession as half-time approached, whilst the Blades

continued to be the dominant force going forward. The best chance to extend the advantage came on 44 minutes following a move involving Cresswell and Evans but Williamson was felled and Quinn’s shot was parried away by Collin.

The Blades were quickly back on the offensive in the second half and there was a chance to net in front of the Kop within moments of the restart but there was no-one in a red and white shirt to receive a neat Evans pull back.

Williamson took a knock early in the second half and was soon replaced

by Flynn, who was quickly causing problems for visiting left-back Robson, whilst United’s next opportunity was a long-range shot from Montgomery, which flew over the crossbar.

Carlisle interrupted United’s dominance with a powerful Michalik free-kick, which was wide, but the fans were beginning to get anxious at the home side’s failure to claim the cushion of a second goal, despite being well on top. Those fears were not allayed on 70 minutes following Ribeiro’s foul on Flynn just inside the penalty area. Referee Gibbs pointed to the spot but Cresswell’s low shot was saved by Collin.

Visiting substitute Curran shot wide as the game slipped into the final ten minutes, whilst Wilson added fresh legs with Evans being replaced by Porter, whose first contribution was a defensive header.

It was the visitors who were now asking the questions as they searched for a late leveller. With 86 minutes gone McGovern’s shot was blocked by fellow Scotsman Flynn, whilst Miller fired over the crossbar. United retreating gave Carlisle room to exploit late on, whilst four minutes of added time gave the Cumbrians added hope.

United defence’s held firm, however, and the best chance of injury-time fell to the home side but Cresswell was unable to turn the ball home following Lowton’s lung-burst run. Fortunately, the miss did not prove costly and the Blades marched off with three more points firmly in the bag.

WILSON ON CARLISLE GAFFERS REACTION www.sufc.co.uk

Blades boss Danny Wilson faced the media ahead of his team’s home game against Carlisle United.

“I think they have had something of an in and out start to the season, similar to ourselves in a few respects but they come here on the back of a very good FA Cup win at Alfreton Town,” said Wilson.

The Blades return to league action against the Cumbrians after playing two cup matches, and manager Wilson is still all too aware of the influence the Blades home ground can have on opposition teams.

“We repeat this every home game, but Bramall Lane is an inspiration to visiting players, in all respect for some of the smaller clubs, this stadium is a massive lift for them.”

“We expect a tough challenge every week and it is no surprise to us now.

We need to nullify the threat of the opposition before they settle into the game, like we did against Oxford.

“It was a very comprehensive win last Saturday in what could have been a tricky tie and we must start from where we left off. I thought we looked strong and solid and we need to build on that performance.

Too many times this season we have conceded goals and the pressure becomes intense, we mustn’t give the opposition a glimmer of hope.

“Carlisle are a good passing team, Greg and Graham (Kavanagh) have always had that mentality but they have some steel in the team too and have done very well in the last few seasons,” Wilson explained.

The Blades boss is fully aware of the threat in the Carlisle ranks but is also confident about the threat his team carries in a resurgent strike force including the inform Ched Evans.

“J.P. McGovern is a terrific player, Lee Miller is vastly experienced both here and in Scotland and he scores plenty. Zoko is another lively player who has plenty of ability going forward.”

“That is the best Ched has played (against Oxford) since I came here and from listening to others they are saying it is his best performance since he came here, so let’s hope the penny is dropping.

“His work ethic was second to none and that goes for Cressy who was a tremendous foil for him on the day.

There defence didn’t get a minute’s peace all afternoon so they have put their markers down now.”

“Ched is enjoying his football and that is what he is focused on, he is playing with a real spring in their step.”

CRESSY ON CUMBRIANS BLADES NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

Richard Cresswell has warned United to expect a tough afternoon when Carlisle United arrive at Bramall Lane on Saturday.

Cresswell knows exactly what the Cumbrians are about having worked with their manager Greg Abbott when he was part of the youth setup at Leeds United.

The Blades experienced marksman isn’t surprised with the success Abbott has enjoyed at Brunton Park and Cresswell says his team will be no pushovers as United look to apply pressure on the division’s frontrunners: “Carlisle are a good team with a really good manager. I know Greg from my days at Leeds when he was youth coach.

“He is well organised and will make his team difficult to beat. Greg is certainly a manager on the up and he is progressing well there.

“At Leeds I always thought he would go on to become a first-team manager, he did a great job at Elland Road bringing some excellent players through and he has taken this opportunity with both hands.

“Greg has always been good at developing players and he was a top bloke around the place so I am pleased to see him doing so well.”

On Carlisle’s strengthens and the threat they will pose at the weekend, Creswell says the Blades will have to be somewhere near their best to thwart the visitors: “As a team they stick together and show resilience, they have got plenty of experience and some players who have played at a higher level.

“We need to start well and play at our tempo, meaning they will have to match our workrate and commitment rather than us matching theirs.”
