CAMRA TO LAUNCH NEW NATIONAL PUBS CAMPAIGN M.V. MOBILITY In April, CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale is to launch a new national pubs campaign, Community Pubs Month, to champion local pubs which are at the heart of countless communities across Britain. The aims of Community Pubs Month are to increase footfall in pubs, to encourage more publicans to promote new or existing events to attract further trade, and to spread awareness of community pubs throughout the media. The dedicated website for the Month – www. communitypubsmonth. org.uk – is geared up to

give pubs free publicity through listing any events licensees have planned throughout the month of April. Pubs signing up to the Month will be given free promotional material to help promote their events, whether it be the regular weekly pub quiz or a big one-off charity bash to get the community together. Kicking off proceedings on Monday April 2nd with Community Pubs Day – the day after CAMRA’s Members’ Weekend & AGM in Torquay – CAMRA branches across Britain will be organising a wide range of events to promote their local

pubs during the Month, and will be working in the lead-up to April to ensure this ﬁrst year for the campaign is a big success. Tony Jerome, CAMRA Head of Marketing, said: ‘The real aim of this Month is to give a window of opportunity for hard working publicans to promote any events they have planned in April, and for us at CAMRA to give them all the help and support in terms of publicity and increased trade. ‘We realise it’s a tough time out there for pubs at the moment – as CAMRA’s new

pub closure ﬁgures highlighted last week – and this is why CAMRA has put a large amount of campaigning funds into this initiative to help pubs market themselves during April.’ As well as CAMRA branches ordering promotional material to maximise the exposure for this new campaign in pubs across Britain, pub licensees can also

order packs direct from CAMRA. Available now, Community Pubs Month packs will include campaigning posters, beer mats, leaﬂets and pump clip crowners. Pubs interested in acquiring material for Community Pubs Month can ﬁnd out more by visiting www. communitypubsmonth. org.uk.

SHEFFIELDʼS BEST KEPT SECRET

If you think that you wouldn’t be able to afford the very best furniture then there’s an answer on your doorstep. Half way up Coleford Road at Darnall is one of the most successful furniture businesses in the region. Mercury readers will have notice adverts for SWAG which regularly appear on the front page and page 3. I’ve visited many times and bought some really top quality furniture so I can write this with a certain amount of authority. This is a family run business and they have been established 12 years and as we’re always keen to support local business I suggested to David, the owner, that it would be a good idea to let our readers know a little more about why SWAG is such a popular business. There’s nothing fancy about the premises and you’d probably need a coat on a cold day. There’s over 2 acres of furniture in the warehouse and they carry a full range of the best quality furniture that’s end of line and stock clearance from major stores. It’s a fantastic range and there’s everything you could imagine from sofas, chairs, bedroom furniture, lounge furniture and dining room sets. Overheads are kept really low and that’s reﬂected in the prices. In this economic climate it’s a really good way to get the best for less. When you ﬁnd the item you like you can leave a £10 deposit and arrange to pay cash on delivery when it’s delivered to make sure that you’re absolutely happy and it’s generally next day delivery. You’d certainly not get that kind of choice or service from the ‘name’ furniture retailers. There’s not a great deal more to say however if you’re looking for great quality at a good price with excellent services then get your coat on and go and have a look at SWAG. I assure you that you’ll be impressed by what you see.

Copley’s Column

Not since we won the world cup in 1966, has football played such a big part in the national news in this country. Stories about Fabio Capello, Harry Redknapp and Milan Mandaric and the seemingly never ending saga concerning Luis Suarez and Patrick Evra have dominated the front pages of all newspapers, not just the gutter press, and most television news broadcasts. I shall try to make some sense of all three stories giving my humble opinion of each of them. I have much respect for Fabio Capello and his decision to tender his resignation. He was appointed on a fabulous salary, reflecting how high he was esteemed to be, to do a job. No previous England manager has been to as many matches, and he has been most conscientious. How many times do we see in English football some glory seeking chairman (nobody in their right mind thinks there is money to be made out of owning a football club) once the management appointment has been made, sticking his oar in, picking the team and undermining his manager. The Football Association appointed Capello because he was the best available man at the time, and his remit was to pick the team and appoint the captain. He then discovers that the jumped up brigade decide to overrule his appointment and strip John Terry of the captaincy, notwithstanding that he has not been yet tried for the racist accusations. I sincerely hope that the next England manager has a ‘no interference’ clause written into his contract. The prosecution of Harry Redknapp and my hero Milan Mandaric, after five years of investigation and millions of pounds wasted ended predictably with not guilty charges returned on all charges for both of them. Redknapp has paid a fortune in tax and has also donated a six figure sum to charity and Mandaric has paid over a million pounds in taxes to benefit this country which is commendable when there is much debate about eastern Europeans coming into the country to abuse our very generous benefits system. Let us hope that they both can get on with their jobs

winning the premiership for Tottenham Hotspur and returning Sheffield Wednesday back to where they belong, the top flight of English football. My outsider for the next England manager, should the people’s choice Harry Redknapp take the position is Roy Hodgson, a man with a proven track record and impeccable reputation. I have in the past few weeks sprung to the defence of Luis Suarez, on the basis that they were words spoken in the heat of the moment with no malice intended. However, he had plenty of time to decide not to shake the hand of Patrice Evra and chose not to do so, which tells me that he actually meant what he said. His subsequent apology was in my mind insincere and was done on the instruction of his chairman. This, I believe is also the case with regard to the grovelling apology from Kenny Dalglish, a man who I previously held in high regard, but alas not any more. Insincere or not, it has at least drawn a line under the whole unsavoury affair, which was not only damaging to Liverpool Football club but also English football in general. My original support for Suarez was drawn from my own experience. I was attending a banquet with nine friends and as we arrived, I was greeted by a well-known black Sheffield footballer who I considered a friend. He greeted me with a joke about me having one arm which was in the worst possible taste. I was furious and to my eternal shame turned on him with a disgusting reference to his colour. The next morning, when I had calmed down, I was ashamed about what I had said and was full of remorse, so much so that the next time we met, I apologised for my inappropriate remark. I am pleased to say that my apology was accepted and we are still friends. I attended the fiftieth birthday celebrations of my good pal John Keeley on Saturday night, where local band, The Score, provided some excellent entertainment. It was lovely that Cassie Kennedy and her roadie Roger came after her gig at Newbold WMC. Cassie, as well as being a top entertainer is also fabulous company.

FIRST CELEBRITY CONTESTANTS ANNOUNCED FOR THE DANCING ON ICE LIVE TOUR

Weekly Wit With...

After wowing more than one million people across the country in previous years with stunning ice performances, skating legends Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean will embark on a sixth live UK tour of Dancing on Ice, stopping off at the Motorpoint Arena Sheffield for 3 performances Tuesday 24th-Thursday 26th April. Tickets priced £32.50-£57.50 (subject to booking fee) are now on sale. Torvill & Dean will be joined by Sugababe singer Heidi Range, X Factor singer Chico and reigning Dancing on Ice champion and actor Sam Attwater. Current reigning Dancing On Ice champion and Ex-EastEnders actor, Sam Attwater displayed some of the most natural ability on the ice in the 2011 ITV1 series and live tour, working hard during each performance to impress the judging panel. Sam consistently pushed himself to achieve higher scores and more complex moves on the ice alongside his skating partner Brianne Delcourt. Sugababes singer Heidi Range has performed at some of the UK’s biggest music venues and, with skating partner Andrei Lipanov, her winning smile and increasing confidence has gained her high scores on the ITV1 show every Sunday night. Former X Factor contestant Chico is no stranger to performing in front of millions of people on television and is now proving to be one of the TV audience and judges favourites. Consistently climbing higher up the leader board each week, Chico and his skating partner Jodeyne Higgins have proved that he is as good on the ice, as he is on the stage. All of the celebrities will be trained and choreographed by Torvill & Dean, who will also perform routines choreographed exclusively for the live tour. At each performance the audience can vote for their favourite celebrity skater. Using the same format as the hit ITV1 show, spectators can use their mobile phones to text vote for their favourite celebrity. Audience votes will then be added to scores from the judges to decide the overall celebrity winner. The winning couple then take to the ice for a magical finale performance. As with previous tours, all profits from text voting will go to charity. An impressive £106,475 has been raised to date and has been donated to the Royal London Society For The Blind and Demelza Hospice Care for Children. Tickets for Torvill & Dean’s Dancing On Ice Live Tour at the Motorpoint Arena Sheffield on Tuesday 24th-Thursday 26th April are now on sale, priced £32.50-£57.50 (subject to booking fee), available in person at the Arena box office, by phone on 0114 256 5656 or online at www. motorpointarenasheffield.co.uk

THE WANTED

No 1 boyband, The Wanted are setting off on their first ever UK Arena Tour for this month. The five piece group that became one of the biggest breakthrough acts of the last couple of years will be playing 11 arenas across the country including a show at the Motorpoint Arena on Saturday 18th February. “After the success of our first tour (which we think the mums just may have enjoyed even more than their kids) we’re planning our first arena tour for February and March. We just want everyone to come along and enjoy themselves, so don your “The Wanted” t-shirts and why not purchase a ticket-forentry? It’ll be spiffing!” The Wanted boys burst into our lives and the charts last summer, with their incredible 2011 BRIT nominated debut single, All Time Low, storming straight into the number one spot. Followed by number two hit Heart Vacancy, they have quickly built up a huge fanbase. Their self-titled debut album raced into the top five, and they have had over an incredible 30 million plays of their videos on YouTube. In March the boys were given the honour of releasing the official Comic Relief single for Red Nose Day. The single Gold Forever became their third top five single. Last year the boys performed their first headline tour which had rave reviews from the press with The Times, Evening Standard and News Of The World giving the shows 4 stars. Proof, if ever it was needed, that The Wanted are definitely not taking any prisoners when it comes to being the hottest group in the UK. Tickets for The Wanted at the Motorpoint Arena on Saturday 18th February 2012, priced £27.50 & £19.50 (booking fee may apply), go on sale Friday 22nd July at 9am, available online at www. motorpointarena.co.uk, by phone on 0114 256 5656 and in person at the Arena box office.

ALBERT SNODGRASS

I saw a woman drop her purse in the high street this morning, so I quickly followed her. As I was just about to tap her on the shoulder she started running for a bus. So I ran after her shouting, “You dropped your purse! You dropped your purse!” She didn’t hear me and proceeded to get onto the bus, so I got on the bus too. As I walked to the back of the bus I breathlessly said, “You dropped your purse on the floor outside McDonald’s.” “Thank you so much” she said, “Where is it?” I said, “I’ve just told you, on the floor outside McDonald’s.” A student brings a girl he picked up back to his flat and, after going through the house, the girl notices a giant gong and a mallet. She asks him what it’s for and he replies, “It’s a talking clock.” She’s amazed and asks him how it works, so the student proceeds to pick up the mallet and hit the gong as hard as he can. The two stand there for a moment, before a voice from the other side of the wall screams, “What are you playing at, it’s three fifteen in the %*^&£$^ morning!” At a local Winery cellar door, the regular taster died and the director started looking for a new one to hire. A drunkard with a ragged, dirty look came to apply for the position. The director of the warehouse wondered how to send him away. They gave him a glass to drink. He tried it and said, “It’s a muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in large old barrels. Low grade but acceptable.” “That’s correct”, said the boss. Another glass.... “It’s a cabernet, eight years old, a south-western slope, new oak barrels, matured at 8 degrees. Requires three more years for finest results.” “Correct.” A third glass... “It’s a non-vintage pinot champagne, high grade and exclusive,” calmly said the drunk. The director was astonished. He winked at his secretary to suggest something. She left the room and came back in with a glass of urine. The alcoholic tried it. “It’s a blonde, 26 years old, three months pregnant and, if you don’t give me the job, I’ll name the father.”

NEWS & INFORMATION

PUBLIC ASKED TO RESOURCE CENTRE CONSULTATION CHOOSE WELL AS eld.gov.uk/caresupport/adults/ HOSPITALS SEE RECORD www.shefﬁ olderpeople/lunchclubs/resource-centreATTENDANCES AT A&E consultation.html www.sth.nhs.uk

Hospital chiefs are asking people in the city to support their efforts to manage a record breaking busy period with high emergency admissions and increased cases of flu and other bugs. In two days more than 700 people attended the A&E department at the Northern General Hospital and there has been a 43% increase in emergency admissions for orthopaedic patients. Richard Parker, Deputy Chief Operating Officer at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has asked for the public’s support at this very busy time: “A culmination of factors including the cold weather and an increase in diarrhoea and sickness and flu bugs in the community has meant we have been busier than usual. Our staff are working extremely hard and coping with the extra demand but the situation is being compounded because we have had to close some wards to new patients because of the sickness and diarrhoea bug which is prevalent in the community at present. Unfortunately we have had a number of incidents where visitors have been unwell when they have visited which means any bugs are then transmitted to patients. When this happens we have to isolate the affected patients to prevent other patients getting the bug. This means we often have no choice but to close a ward to new admissions until the patients are well again and the risk of passing on the virus has passed.” He said: “We need all our beds available at the moment due to an increased demand as a result of the weather. We have seen a rise in the number of patients with injuries after suffering a slip or fall on icy pavements and are also admitting more patients, many of them older people, with respiratory problems exacerbated by the cold weather. We would really appreciate the support of the public at this busy time so that we can continue to provide the best possible care possible.” We are asking for people to do 3 simple things: • Don’t make unnecessary journeys out into the cold especially those people who are already unsteady on their feet or are prone to respiratory or cardiac illnesses (?change to breathing or heart problems). • Don’t visit hospital if they are ill or have had any symptoms of diarrhoea, vomiting or ‘flu like’ symptoms in the previous 72 hours. If visitors become unwell while visiting please tell a member of staff immediately. • Only use the Accident and Emergency department if it is an emergency. GPs, pharmacists and the NHS Walk In Centre on Broad Lane are all able to provide advice and treatment for minor injuries or illnesses and in most cases you will be seen quicker because in A&E the priority will be given to patients with life threatening injuries/ illnesses and emergency cases.

Background to the Review SCC looked, in detail at how the beds in the Resource Centres had been used by SCC and the NHS and what other options there were. • SCC know that they offer high standards of care at the resource centres, and want to put on record the professional and caring work that SCC’s Care4you staff undertake successfully at both centres. • It has never been SCC’s intention to stop providing intermediate care in the city. Everyone who needs this service will be offered it, but possibly in other facilities rather than the two resource centres. • SCC’s review of the use of the beds and different options was a process to look at whether they should provide this service and the 42 beds in a different way. What options have been considered? 1. No change – keep the current 42 jointly funded beds 2. Remove the existing 42 beds and use the money to provide intermediate care in people’s own homes. 3. Close one of the resource centres and keep the beds in the other resource centre. But don’t buy any more intermediate care anywhere else.

PUBS URGED NOT TO BUY TV CARDS CASK ALES Licensees have been warned not to buy European satellite TV decoder cards until a deﬁnitive ruling on copyright has been made. The warning comes as the Premier League last week said it will resume action against licensees who use European decoder cards to show live football in their pubs. This follows a High Court ruling last week on a longstanding case between the Premier League, digital-box supplier QC Leisure, and SR Leisure, which endorsed the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling on the case in October 2011. The ECJ ruled that certain aspects of a Premier League broadcast may be subject to copyright, such as the Premier League logo and theme tune and that restricting the sale of European foreign satellite decoder cards is “contrary to the freedom to provide services”. In his ruling in the High Court, Lord Justice Kitchin suggested that importers of European satellite systems may have been in breach of Premier League copyright by allowing foreign

live Tribute Whitney Houston

Words by Katy Evans

Song writer, performer and majestic voice throughout her reign as pop queen within the last decade, Whitney Houston has died aged forty eight on 11th February 2012. A tragic loss for not only family and friends but music lovers around the world, the US Soul Superstar touched hearts on an international level, leaving behind a legacy of over thirty five years in show business. Pronounced dead by the police in her room at the Beverley Hilton Hotel where she had been staying as a guest, Ms Houston died on the eve of the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, with plans to attend the pre-party awards show on the night of her passing. Although Whitney Houston’s later career was plagued by substance abuse and a turbulent marriage to singer Bobby Brown, she undoubtedly remains one of the most celebrated female artists of our time. Crowned the World’s bestselling music artist to date, Houston has sold over 170 million singles, albums and videos and has received a total of 415 career awards since starting off her musical journey in 1977 at the age of fourteen. Brandishing the award for the only artist to hold seven consecutive number one’s in the Billboard Top 100 hits, Houston’s 1985 Self-titled debut album was the bestselling release by a female artist of that time and was named Rolling Stones Magazine’s number one album of 1986. Stemming from a hugely musical background, Whitney Houston’s mother was gospel singer Cissy Houston, also being cousin to singer Dionne Warwick and Goddaughter to Aretha Franklin. “I just can’t talk about it now,” Ms Franklin said in a short statement. “It’s so stunning and unbelievable. I couldn’t believe what I was reading coming across the TV screen.” Brought up in New Jersey, Houston spent her early life performing in night clubs around New York along with a part time modelling career before she was signed to Arista in 1983. Her debut album peaked at number one across the globe and, wining her Best Pop Vocal Performance at The Grammys in 1986, has since sold over twenty five million sales and is certified 13x Platinum. ‘I Will Always Love You,’ arguably the stars signature song was released in 1993 and held the number one spot in the Billboard Top 100 for a thenrecord breaking fourteen weeks. Although initially written for Dolly Parton in 1974, the single is highly regarded as Houston’s most iconic release and sold over twelve million copies world-wide. This single is consecutively voted top of love song poles across the globe and wouldn’t be out of place within the modern day international single charts today. Mariah Carey was one of the many singers to pay tribute to the star, saying she was “heartbroken and in tears over the shocking death of my friend”. “My heartfelt condolences go out to Whitney’s family and to all her millions of fans throughout the world. She will never be forgotten as one of the greatest voices to ever grace the earth.”

Words by Katy Evans

Pop Punk isn’t dead…Rookie League are here to prove it. Armed with a brand new EP ‘Super Base,’ and far more than enough energy to put a die-hard Lucozade addict to shame, hell these guys have got balls to cover a Nicki Minaj song and you know what…have done a pretty good job at it too. It seems more and more common-field for bands to cover chart topping hits, which let’s be honest, isn’t always the most sensible of moves. Chris Cornell’s cover of Billie Jeans was worse than a week of chronic conjunctivitis, not to mention Celine Dion’s version of the Classic AC/DC belter ‘You Shook Me All Night,’ which not beating around the bush, is so dyer you’ve never even heard of it…thank God for that. Sheffield’s Rookie League however seem to have struck the balance just about right. With the potential to totally fall flat on their faces choosing a track which not only was touched by worldwide recognition but also adorned number one positions across the globe, the band have taken to it with an unusual combination of stifling basslines verses punchy vocals to produce a track miles away from the original. Forget over-worked sythns and bucket loads of computer dubbing, Rookie League offer the more cutting edge alternative which sticks around way longer than the 03:12 running length. It’s ironic…whether or not this is intentional seems to be the underlying message of the track and appears to shout ‘hey, we’re covering Nicki Minaj, but we don’t give a s*it.’ It’s well produced…for a band who still largely remain a local group and have yet to start rolling with the big guns, the track doesn’t sound rough and ready or put together in someone’s garage. It’s brave and gutsy, but most importantly it’s about doing something that little bit different and standing out from the pack…whether or not the song choice is the most impressionable falls into significance as Rookie League appear to be doing something no one in Sheffield is currently doing…and have done a damn good job of it too. It’s worth checking this out, so visit the bands official website (www.therookieleague.com) or get in touch via the bands facebook page (www.facebook. com/the-rookie-league) to post your own comments on Super Base.

LIVE REVIEWs James Vincent McMorrow The Plug - Fri 10th Feb

Words by Bobby N

Somewhere in between the Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver sits the delightful James Vincent McMorrow. His Sheffield show was so eagerly anticipated that he outsold his original allocation of tickets, so much so that he was moved to a bigger venue. The pressure and swelling crowd didn’t seem to perturb the amiable performer and his accomplished delivery seemed to justify the burgeoning interest; we all felt as if we could be witnessing an artist at the tipping point, in between obscurity and stardom. JVM projects himself as being affable, charming and an all round nice guy and his songs follow a similar vein; he is the culinary equivalent of a vegan, there’s just no meat to his songs or to him. The only two songs that received a captivated silence from the entire audience were his covers of Cris Isaak’s Wicked Game and Steve Winwood’s Higher Love. This is a shame because he does have some beautiful moments in his own delicately crafted songs. Maybe it is this adroit attitude that renders him unable to cast the hook that will catch him a mainstream audience, instead having to rely on his cover songs. When JVM is at his best he has the quality to transcend the majority of the audience to a reflective inertia. His delicate wordplay resonates around the venue especially on his most proficient songs such as The Old Dark Machine and it’s here where you feel suffocated by the power of his talent and see that the swaying and humming of his most stoic supporters is in fact a lovely way to spend a Friday night.

Olly Murs + Lilygreen & Maguire Motorpoint Arena - Sun 12th Feb

Words & Photos by Nichola Plant

The Welsh acoustic duo Lilygreen and Maguire which consists of Jon Lilygreen and Jon Maguire supported Olly Murs at Shefﬁeld Motorpoint Arena Sunday night. The duo was a pleasant surprise and entertained the audience performing their latest single – Come on Get Higher which is a highly addictive listen and can only be described as hook infused pop. The Duo played guitar throughout the set and also delivered a melody of old classics that included no woman no cry through to Jason Mraz’s I’m Yours alongside encouraging a little crown participation. These two young men are obviously very talented musicians and I’m sure that through this very entertaining show set they have earned themselves a few more followers. # I predict good things for these two young men in 2012. Olly Murs delivered a sensational show following on from Lilygreen & Maguire, his line up consisted of songs from both his previous and new album and was a fantastic set. Olly was accompanied on stage by a 10 piece band who were brilliant and supported the singer in performing his hits from heart skips a beat to encore please don’t let me go. The area was buzzing with hundreds of Olly Murs fans who I’m sure could be heard far and wide especially when the singer ripped his trousers on stage displaying his underwear to the entire front row. Olly has an array of costume changes from the classy suit and waistcoat to his trademark hat and polo shirt. Olly made his way through the crowd on the edge of the area at times and delivered some of his performance on an elevating stage in the middle of the area brave man, not for the height of the elevating stage but for him risking thousands of excited Olly fans to make his way through the crowds. The encore performance was accompanied by glitter raining on the crowds and was a ﬁtting end to a thoroughly entertaining evening.

REVEREND & THE MAKERS OFFER FREE DOWNLOAD Reverend & The Makers released a free download of their brand new track ‘Bassline’ this week! and you can download the track by visiting http://reverendandthemakers.cookingvinyl.com/ This free download is a taster of what is to come from the band’s third album which will official be titled @reverend_makers and is scheduled for release on May 7th. @reverend_makers is first commercial album ever to be named after artists twitter tag. Front man Jon Mcclure on ‘Bassline’: “So bassline. A freebie. A gift cos were r8 sound n all. In truth this was a song that started life in a side project I was doing in the two years ive spent dodging the makers! I thought it was too hard , too synthesiser and noisy guitars to be a makers song. But as the album progressed I thought why not. it kinda fits with where the albums gone. It’s on the front foot but I like that and it’s up which pretty much sums up the album and where our heads are at right now. The album is almost done. It sounds amazing. It’s a load of songs about little situations I see living in Sheffield in 2012 and it’s gonna be called @ reverend_makers. Why? Well the songs are all about things that happen in the now. Nothing seems to sum up the present and the times we live in more than the @ symbol. And well it’s more exciting than reverend and the makers by reverend and the makers innit? We were gonna call it out the shadows after one of the songs and then quickly realised it sounded a bit like ‘bouncing back’ by partridge and promptly changed our mind!!!! Anyhow, hope you enjoy Bassline and well see you on tour real soon x” Reverend & The Makers will be supporting Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds this Sunday at the Motorpoint Arena and you can catch them on their on headline tour at the Leadmill on May 11th.

round-up by stuart renton

Is it just me or has Valentine’s Day been shoved down our throats with a lot more fervour than previous years? I don’t mind having something repeatedly shoved down my throat, but I at least want dinner first. Valentine’s Day promotion has been relentless: there were bargain cards in the shops (show your devotion for just seven pence - classy) while you can pick up a bouquet of flowers from the local supermarket for a tenner. Stylish. I pity the guy who thinks he got a bargain when he offered up that seven pence piece of tat to his wife. I foresee a week of “headaches” on the horizon. But, if getting “horizontal” is your ultimate aim, then something far more interesting and spontaneous is better than the traditional gift of flowers or chocolates. Gift giving should be special and thoughtful, not something grabbed from the shelf at Tesco at closing time. As expected, there was a flurry of guys coming home with flowers and cards all hastily purchased from the same dwindling supplies from the same tired old shops last night. And, my point is that VD need not be the only day we need to celebrate love. Every day should be that day. We don’t need some artificially contrived celebration created by the greetings card companies to show our affections. February the 14th doesn’t need to be the only day where flowers and cards are compulsory; gifts are so much better received if they’re spontaneous, not doled out robotically because it’s expected. That said, if I’m still here next year, a card or two wouldn’t go amiss. Gifts to The Mercury at the usual address… In other news. Prancing on Ice hit an all-time low with viewers this weekend garnering just under seven million viewers, despite Jennifer Ellison slicing open her head in a fall (can you do Chico next week (preferably at the neck)). Now, ITV can’t really grumble with seven million; that’s an awful lot of people who love to watch utter crap. And the choice of new judges is just baffling. You’ve got the almost / vaguely / remotely / sort of normal Robin Cousins sandwiched between the rasping Louis Spence (who’s so gay I can only presume he’s some kind of experiment with Graham Norton and Julian Clary’s Stem Cells) and that Russian bird who would be better suited as a Soviet agent in a black and white spy thriller. I imagine she’s naked under the table. It’s the only way I can get through the judging… The show’d probably get higher ratings if they filmed Chico being tossed off the roof of a really high building (mind you that’s not the first time the words Chico, ‘tossed off, and “high”, have featured in the same sentence). More next week.

Angler’s Corner Racing Form by Clint Walker

Have you read Angler’s Mail magazine this week? If so, you may have seen the fruits of my labours over the last few weeks, and something which has got all of us at Pallatrax very excited! I’ve spent a great many hours updating our current website, compiling catch reports, editing revues and features written by our new media team and it has now paid off! In addition to the work I’ve done, behind the scenes there has been a busy team putting everything into place to forge a brand new partnership with the UK’s biggest weekly angling magazine; Angler’s Mail! This new agreement will see Pallatrax sponsor a nationwide competition open to ALL anglers as we seek to find the most consistent specimen hunter; each week will see a cash prize AND bait package on offer to the chosen winner, and at the end of the year, a mighty £3000 in cold hard cash will go to the angler adjudged to be the overall winner! Four runners up will also receive £250, so plenty to aim at for e very reader. There are also plans in place to expand the prize pot with invitation only matches and exclusive clothing to the winners. Keep your eye out for this week’s copy to find out more! I’ve been invited onto the radio again this week; Martin James, host of “At the Water’s Edge” on BBC Radio Lancashire (Thursday 7pm and iplayer for seven days after) has asked me and a couple of colleagues to go and discuss our relationship with Pallatrax, guided angling and sponsorship. I always enjoy meeting Martin when we travel to Blackburn, and, with the offer of a session on Martin’s private stretch of the River Ribble, it’s not a chance to miss! I just hope the snow has gone by March 4th recording date! I don’t know if you are a Facebook or Twitter user, but it’s something I’ve had to get to grips with since September when I took on the role of Media Editor for Pallatrax. If I’m truthful, I’m amazed at the speed with which word spreads, and although it has its advantages, it’s a double edged sword if you ask me. I find easy to keep our ‘followers’ and ‘likes’ informed of the latest developments or releases, but it is used by some to spread lies, misinformation and untruths in equal measure which I find disconcerting. There is no regulation to this endless stream of vitriol (and it is spiteful) and it can cause untold damage to fisheries and other associated companies when someone posts something they know to be untrue in a deliberate attempt to cause harm; thankfully, it’s not something I’ve had to deal with yet, but no doubt it will come....it’s a simple task for someone with an axe to grind or just plainly jealous of the success of others to cause mayhem and it’s desperately unfair.... Anyway, the ice may soon be gone, so get out there and get fishing!

This weekend’s racing looks highly promising as higher temperatures mean that some goodlooking races are likely to go ahead. On Friday Newbury stages some of last weekend’s lost card and on Saturday Channel 4 presents nine races in all from Ascot, Haydock, Lingfield and Wincanton. Navan has an interesting card on Sunday including three Grade 2 races. Friday, Newbury: I previewed some of these last week but there have been some changes in entries so here are my revised selections: 12.15 Betfair Super Saturday Chase (Registered as the Game Spirit Chase), Grade 2, 2 miles 1 furlong: Stagecoach Pearl is now an absentee so Sprinter Sacre gets the vote with Passato looking an each way threat. French Opera is also likely to be thereabouts. 12.45 Betfair Denman Chase, Grade 2, 3 miles: The Giant Bolster remains the selection with Tidal Bay as first reserve followed by Burton Port. Coming from a stable that is much less vaunted than the top ones he is likely to be a decent price on the day. 1.20 Betfair Hurdle (Handicap), Grade 3, 2 miles ½ furlong: Nicky Henderson’s Soldatino remains first choice and is reportedly going well at home. The selection has been relatively lightly raced and is therefore a little unexposed although his fifth behind Recession Proof here last year off 11st. 8lb was a cracking effort. Carrying 10st. 12lb this year a similar effort should see him go very close. 1.55 1.45 Betfair. Don’t Settle for Less Novices’ Hurdle, Class 4, 2 miles ½ furlong: I like (in order) Daymar Bay, Nelson’s Bridge, All The Aces and Montbazon. 2.30 Befair Supports Walking with the Wounded Handicap Hurdle, Class 2, 4yo+ rated 0-145, 3 miles ½ furlong: Stow remains the first choice. Deireadh Re, Kayf Aramis, Thehillofuisneach, Gullinbursti and William Hogarth look to me to be the chief dangers. 3.00 Betfair Novices’ Chase (Registered as the Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase), Grade 1, Class1, 2 miles 4 furlongs: With Silviniaco Conti now an absentee from this one, (in order of preference) I like: Micheal Flips; Lancetto; Cedre Bleu; Champion Court; Invictus; Baile Anrai. Micheal Flips gets the nod in an interesting contest. 3.30 Betfair Mobile for Best Prices Bumper, (Listed), 2 miles ½ furlong: With many last time out winners in the field this is something of a puzzle but the ones to concentrate on look to me to be: Coneygree; The New One; Chancery; and Village Vic. Coneygree just about gets the nod. Saturday: Ascot: 1.50 Sodexo Prestige Reynoldstown Novices’ Chase, Grade 2, 3 miles: Silviniaco Conti has been given this as a target instead of the Newbury Scilly Isles Novices race 5 Individual Lakes

Wincanton: 3.45 Celestial Halo

CARAVANS FOR SALE

Wincanton: 3.45 Bathwick Tyres Kingwell Hurdle, Grade 2, 2miles: A strict line through Overturn would appear to give Binocular the edge here. However I have never been thoroughly convinced by this one and am therefore overlooking him. When they met here earlier in the season Grandouet appeared to cantering all over Celestial Halo coming into the straight but fell three out. He has since run really well to win twice and is now a live contender for the Champion Hurdle. However, that day Celestial Halo, who was attempting to give Grandouet 10lbs, ran on well himself to win and has since won twice again after losing out to Overturn and Binocular at Newcastle in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle. That weight disadvantage has now gone and, in what could be a cracking contest, I am giving the vote to Celestial Halo who could be a better price than his form suggests. Desert Cry and Starluck are not out of this either and could be live outsiders if there is to be a turn-up.

Haydock: 2.10 Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle (Registered as the Prestige Novices’ Hurdle), Grade 2, 3 miles: Gullinbursti is a relatively conﬁdent choice to regain the winning thread although Deireadh Re would be a live danger if turning out. Thehillofuisneach, Milarrow and Barenger look to present most danger otherwise. 2.45 Betfred Goals Galore Hurdle (Registered as the Rendlesham Hurdle), Grade 2, 3 miles: Benny Be Good has been running well all year and can lift this prize. Duc de Regniere has the class to be a real danger if back on song and Kayf Aramis goes well here. Sarando, Reindeer Dippin, Powerstation and Restless Harry are others bang in contention for ﬁrst prize. 3.20 Betfred Grand National Trial (Handicap Chase), Grade 3, 3 miles 4 furlongs: Although now a 12 year old National hero of 2009 Mon Mome could be the answer here. Miko de Beauchene would be a live threat if turning out but the chief dangers could be Always Right, Neptune Collonges, Qhilimar, Le Beau Bai, Junior and Uncle Junior.

and looks to hold every chance. Alﬁe Spinner is ﬁrst reserve followed by Bobs Worth. 2.25 Weatherby’s Bloodstock Insurance Chase (Limited Handicap), Listed, 3 miles: Fine Parchment is entered here but is out of the handicap. Burton Port can make his comeback run a winning and gets the nod in a tight handicap. Others with good chances are Exmoor Ranger, Fair Along, Le Beau Bai, Junior, Qhilimar and Invictus. 3.00 Betfair Ascot Chase, Grade 1, 2 miles 5 ½ furlongs: Although this is a big step up in class Tatenen goes well here and won for us recently and so gets the nod over Kauto Stone, The Sawyer, Riverside Theatre and Deep Purple. 3.35 Betfair Don’t Settle for Less Handicap Hurdle, Class2, 2 miles 3 ½ furlongs: This is a very competitive race but just about Recession Proof gets my vote in a tight call with Big Easy. Sir Tantallus Hawk, Knock A Hand, Mountainous, Featherbed Lane and Swincombe Flame look best of the rest.

Millers and Rovers News & Reviews 2011/12

MILLERS GRAB VICTORY AT SHRIMPS MILLERS NEWS www.themillers.co.uk

Shaun Harrad’s debut goal and Alex Revell’s late strike gave the Millers a 2-0 win away at Southend. An early goal from Harrad on his first outing in Millers colours endeared him quickly to the travelling Millers faithful at Roots Hall. Strong defending and dangerous attacks by the hosts meant Rotherham were walking a tightrope for much of the game, but Alex Revell’s strike against his old club seven minutes from time sealed a hard-earned yet welldeserved victory. After the Torquay match at Don Valley was postponed for adverse weather conditions, Millers boss Andy Scott made two changes to the starting XI from the last outing at Dagenham. Johnny Mullins replaced the suspended Michael Raynes at centre-half, whilst Harrad was handed a start for his Millers debut with Lewis Grabban taking a place on the bench. The fixture also owed a lot to the work of the groundstaff at Roots Hall who did a fine job of clearing the pitch of ice and snow before kick-off. Liam Dickinson had an early opportunity to put the hosts ahead but he pulled his shot wide of the target from the edge of the box after the ball dropped into his path. A minute later Rhys Taylor vindicated his starting berth when Ryan Hall powered a header from Michael Timlin’s cross towards the top corner. The midfielder was denied a goal as Taylor clawed it behind with a wonder-save. And then in the ninth minute, the Millers found the game’s opener with a beautiful strike from Harrad. A botched clearance dropped to the front-man on the edge of the box and the debutant didn’t think twice before hammering the ball beyond the despairing Glenn Morris. The Shrimpers thought they had equalised a minute later when the ball was bundled home from a corner, but the referee’s assistant let Rotherham off the hook as he held his flag aloft for offside. Rhys Taylor was called on to make a great double-save to

ITʼS PLEASING TO GET A RUN OF GAMES ROVERS NEWS www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

A snow covered Cantley Park played host for the pre-match press conference ahead of Rovers trip to Selhurst Park. Rovers Payer caught up with local lad Sam Hird much to the delight of his fellow teammates, who saw it the perfect opportunity to target him with some of the white stuff. A few snowball thrown here and there didn’t deter defender Hird of speak about his delight to be playing regularly under Dean Saunders. “It’s pleasing to get a run of game together,” he said “It’s good to get a consistent run going and pick points up along the way. “We’ve had the same back four for the last few games, and with David Button in the goal we have had some good results and have kept clean sheets.” Lack of opportunity to play under the previous management led Hird to ponder the thought of leaving the club in search of regular game time. “With the old manager I wasn’t playing as much as I would have liked, and would probably been looking to move on. “The new gaffer has come in and given everybody a chance and I have taken it with both hands - I just need to keep it going now. “The gaffer has told us we need to be consistent to stay in this division and if we stay consistent individually we will keep our place in the team.” Hird makes no secret of the task which lies ahead, but admits he thinks the team can pull through. “It’s a challenge, but we have given ourselves a chance. We have a game in hand over a few teams so if we keep picking up points as we have been doing I’m sure we will be ﬁne. “We picked up a point at Hull, we need to pick up our away form but at home we’ve been quite strong.”

keep the Millers intact midway through the first period as he diverted Dickinson’s shot away before saving Hall’s follow-up with his feet from a narrow angle. Kieron Cadogan fashioned a chance by chasing down a lost cause, and a clever bit of footwork allowed him to square for Harrad, but the striker’s header was too delicate and Morris collected comfortably. Southend came even closer to equalising just after the half-hour mark as Elliot Benyon made a nuisance of himself from a corner but Sam Wood was well positioned on the goal-line to hack clear. Wood tried to cap a fine first-half performance by netting a second for the Millers by unleashing a stinger after finding space to run into on the left flank, but Morris got two strong hands behind it and held the ball at the second attempt. Jason Taylor became the first man to have his name taken after committing a cynical foul in the centre circle on Timlin early after the interval. And Mohsni had a great opportunity to score as he rose well to meet the resulting free-kick, but his header was straight into the hands of the grateful Rhys Taylor. Anthony Grant was the next player to threaten for the hosts but he curled his right-footed shot well over the bar from the left of the box after being put under pressure by Mark Bradley. Grant had another effort minutes later when a tackle from Mohsni saw the ball squirm into the path of the midfielder, but his shot was too central and Taylor collected. Mohsni, impressing in defence for Southend, also showed his attacking prowess as he rose highest to meet a corner but the Millers were relieved to see the ball bounce wide off the upright. Scott Griffiths was allowed some space to run into on the left-hand touchline and centred towards substitute Lewis Grabban, but the striker’s left-footed volley lacked direction and rolled harmlessly wide. Alex Revell had been making life difficult for his old side all game, and finally grabbed a game-clinching goal in the 83rd minute. Collecting the ball on the left, the striker evaded two challenges as he skipped inside before firing and the ball found the back of the net via the inside of the post.

BEYE SIGNS 18 MONTH DEAL ROVERS NEWS www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

Rovers can conﬁrm that 34-year old defender Habib Beye has signed an 18 month contract with the club, after agreeing to cancel his contract with previous club Aston Villa. The veteran centre half has been on loan at the Keepmoat Stadium since November 2011 from Aston Villa and forged a burgeoning partnership with Sam Hird. However, the Premier League outﬁt terminated his contract on 2nd February and he follows fellow countryman El-Hadji Diouf in putting pen to paper for the Rovers. Beye, who is currently serving a three match suspension after being red carded at Bristol City, has represented Senegal 45 times and brings a wealth of experience and versatility from spells at Marseille and Newcastle United.

BLADES SEE OFF BLUES BLADES NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

Will Hoskins scored a debut goal as the Blades returned to winning ways with a comprehensive victory over Wycombe Wanderers. Loanee Hoskins netted five minutes after being introduced as a substitute as all three goals came in the second half. Ched Evans claimed his 19th of the campaign before Kevin McDonald, with his first for the club, wrapped up the victory in injury-time. Manager Wilson named an unchanged team for a fifth consecutive encounter, meaning new boy Hoskins, signed on loan on transfer deadline day, had to be content with a place on the bench. Wycombe, meanwhile, included former Blade, Harper, in their midfield. Most of the early action centred around Evans. In the first minute he burst into the penalty area and although he got on the end of Cresswell’s cross, he was unable to steer the ball towards goal, whilst the Welshman also fired a free-kick into the wall after a foul on Quinn. Irishman Quinn fired the ball at Forster’s arm in the box but no penalty was forthcoming and a Doyle shot was blocked as the action in the visiting side’s half continued. The first chance for Wycombe was a turn and shot from Beavon, who scored the only goal in the corresponding fixtre at Adams Park, but this time he was just off target.

Quinn headed wide a drilled cross from Lowton and then curled a free-kick into the arms of goalkeeper Bull as United regained the ascendency. On 25 minutes, Lowton laid off to Evans but his deflected shot was just wide and McDonald then hammered a rasping effort just wide soon after. Wycombe’s Bloomfield was booked for diving when he could have raced clear but he did contribute to the visiting side’s defensive operation as they limited United’s chances on goal before the break. Maguire fired over with a long range shot and, in injury-time, Evans did likewise. For the start of the second half, Flynn took the place of Williamson as the Blades again began quite well. JeanFrancois almost put Evans in the clear and on 49 minutes McDonald’s shot was charged down before Cresswell laid off to Evans who, on this occasion, fired into the sidenetting. Lowton headed over a Flynn corner and as the chances continued, McDonald curled wide. For the visitors, on 59 minutes, Harper fired wide from 25 yards. The last action of Cresswell was to head a Maguire cross onto the roof of Bull’s net before being substituted by debutant Hoskins... who did not take long to make an impression. Beavon’s shot was gathered by Simonsen at the second attempt before United finally made the pressure pay. Doyle went into a robust challenge on the left and from the resulting ricochet, HOSKINS, on for just five minutes, reacted quickest and poked the ball past Bull - an ideal way to introduce himself to the Kop. Strevens was booked for a challenge on Jean-Francois and Wycombe’s day got

worse when they conceded a second on 73 minutes. It appeared that Flynn had been held in the box but Lowton played on and his cross was pulled back by Jean-Francois for EVANS, who twisted and turned before claiming his 19th goal of the season, squeezing the ball through a cluster of legs. Wycombe hit back with a couple of corners and a McNamee free-kick, which was won by Winfield but his header struck Collins and with it went the visiting side’s slight chance of getting back into the game. Porter replaced Evans and the substitute was involved as United added a third in the four minutes of injury-time. The ball dropped to McDONALD 25 yards out and his shot struck Winfield on the way past Bull. Kevin McDonald and Michael Doyle celebrate There was just time for the Kop to sing Danny Wilson’s name before the final whistle. Blades: Simonsen, Lowton, JeanFrancois, Doyle, Evans (Porter 87), Williamson (Flynn 45), Collins, Cresswell (Hoskins 61), Maguire, McDonald, Quinn. Unused: Montgomery, Long.

Wycombe: Bull, Forster, Lang, Winﬁeld, Johnson (McNamee 77), Bloomﬁeld, Harper, Strevens (McClure 83), Basey, Beavon, Whichelow (Lewis 70). Unused: Grant, McCoy.

DANNYʼS VIEW GAFFERS REACTION www.sufc.co.uk

The patience with which United showed to breakdown a stubborn Wycombe Wanderers side on Saturday pleased Danny Wilson. United’s chief gave his assessment of the Bramall Lane performance straight after the game, saying: “It was difficult because the way Wycombe played, we needed a level of patience and fortunately we showed that. They were stubborn in their resistance, it is not always easy to break down a team but after the first goal we weren’t in any danger. “The first goal was always going to be critical and when we got it I thought it was one way traffic from then on - it was a deserved three points. “Home form is important. If you win your games it gives you a chance to stay in the shake up at the end of the season.” Will Hoskins scored a debut goal, five minutes after being introduced as a substitute, whilst Ched Evans added the second. The victory was completed when Kevin McDonald’s late shot took a couple of deflections before beating goalkeeper Nikki Bull.

Sheffield Wednesday News and Views 2011/12

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2011/12 OWLS UNDONE AT EXETER MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

Sheffield Wednesday suffered a frustrating 2-1 defeat on the south coast against Exeter after dominating most of a low-key clash at St James Park. All three goals came in the second half and it was the Owls that struck first, Jermaine Johnson claiming his fourth strike in his last six games. But Billy Jones promptly levelled for the Grecians to set up a home win that was confirmed with a late winner from skipper David Noble. Both sides started brightly enough on a cold afternoon in Devon, with the hosts intent on ending a barren run of four games without a goal. Daniel Nardiello was out to change that statistic, though, and after flicking a dipping shot over the bar almost straight from the kick-off, the former Barnsley striker did have the ball in the net on seven minutes but the linesman’s flag put a premature end to any Exeter celebrations. The Owls responded with John Bostock aiming a vicious drive goalwards that was deflected wide for a corner before Miguel Llera forced a stunning save from Artur Krysiak following the resultant corner. Wednesday then went on to take

control of the contest, with much of the possession in the Grecians’ half. But ten minutes before the break, Nardiello was handed two quickfire chances to open the scoring. His first effort on the angle from ten yards was bravely blocked by Lewis Buxton and the Owls defender was even more impressive in keeping the second strike away from goal. Chris Lines came on for Bostock at half time and the same pattern of play continued, with Wednesday bossing the ball, while Exeter relied on the counter. Buxton tested Krysiak with a looping cross from the right that needed tipping over the bar before the Owls broke the deadlock on 66 minutes. Buxton sent a long throw into the mix that was only half cleared and Jermaine Johnson drilled home a powerful volley from the edge of the area. Exeter needed a swift response and got exactly that within two minutes of the restart. The Owls conceded a free kick on the right angle of the box and Jones stepped up to curl a clever strike round the wall and into the back of the net. Wednesday sent on Mike Jones for the closing stages but the only likelihood of a winner came from midfield consort Lines, who brought an excellent save from Krysiak on 77 minutes. Alas, the decisive strike came at the other end and again from a set piece. Noble was the man of the moment, sending a dipped effort from 22 yards that flew past Stephen Bywater and in at the far post to seal an unlikely victory.

MEGSON EXTRA MILE FOR SPORT CRITICAL OF UNDER RELIEF PAR OWLS SWFC NEWS www.swfc.co.uk

GAFFERS REACTION www.swfc.co.uk

Gary Megson was critical of his Owls’ side after Exeter came from behind to inﬂict a 2-1 defeat on Wednesday at St James Park. Jermaine Johnson gave the visitors a second half lead but the Grecians replied with two set pieces from Billy Jones and David Noble to take the points. And Megson was left fuming with what he believes was a distinctly under par performance on the south coast. He said: “I am more than disappointed because today was a big result for us. Not many games were played in our division and we had a chance to push on but we have done the opposite. “JJ has scored a great goal and given us a great chance for the win but then our defending is terrible and we lose the game. “We are looking nowhere near the side we were four weeks ago and that has to change. These players are paid a lot of money for this level. “Now they need to shape themselves.” Megson added that Miguel Llera, who went off with a head injury moments before the Owls scored, will be assessed ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Stevenage, which the Wednesday manager has tagged ‘a massive game’.
