FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR YORKSHIRE UNPLUGGED M.V. MOBILITY At the end of last month the Yorkshire Unplugged competition judges sat in a darkened room to sift through hundreds of applications from hopeful acoustic acts. As time moves on the room ﬁlls with stale smoke, dirty mugs and empty packets of crisps or whatever else can be consumed to keep concentration and stamina high each mildly starved judge (high on caffeine, excitement, and an eagerness to eat a decent meal) puts forward the argument for their favourite act to perform in this year’s competition. Competition organiser and judge Sam Wherrett states “Considering this is the inaugural year of the competition we’ve been inundated with top

quality entries. Each act had its own unique style and qualities making this a very hard decision indeed. We would like to encourage all those who did not make it into the live heats to persevere with their music careers. With a little more practice, experience, and maybe a little bit of fortune next year’s competition could be theirs. We would also like to wish the very best of luck to those who have made it through to the live heat stages of the competition. You truly are one of the best of the best and we look forward to seeing you perform at what is set to be a series of fantastic heats.” The competition is being held at the Forum Café Bar on Division Street. The ﬁrst heat will take

place on Thursday 15th March and will feature an eclectic range of artists from across the region including (in no particular order) ‘Alex Young’, ‘Steph Stephenson’, the finger-picked poetry of ‘Captives On The Carousel’, ‘Harry David’, and ‘Jack & Asher’. The second heat will take place a week later and feature up and coming acts including ‘Andrew Tregoning’, Alternative acoustic York based band ‘Climbing Trees’, ‘Joe Banfi’, percussive blues duo the ‘Don Barrel Gents’, West Yorkshire based anti-folk band ‘Old Man Pie’, and a stripped back set from Sheffield Indie rock band The Twin Bears. The third heat is made up of singer-songwriter

‘Martin Goldsack’; Barnsley based performers ‘Liberty Train’; ‘Matt Longden’; ‘Jodi’; story telling; finger clicking, folk band, ‘The Savoy Ballroom’; and alternative folk band ‘Ichabod’. Competing in heat four (the penultimate heat) Martin Plock, Leeds based student RIZ, Sheffield’s acoustic hip-hop blend ‘Spit N String’, Adam Pond, Joni Tuson, & Chris Welburn. The last heat before the final (heat five) will include Zapp Brannigan, Tom Prendergast, Chelsea Alice Scott, Mark Nicholas, Bardford acoustic pop folk band JonPaul Palombo, and finally, Hull based alternative acoustic rock band ‘Compass’. After looking at the

GLENN ORRAH CARPETS

conﬁrmed line-ups coorganiser Sam Middleton stated “There is no clear winner. On any given night, any of the acts could make it through to the ﬁnal. There is clearly plenty of talent in the region competing for one huge prize. This year’s competition is going to be bigger and better than we had ever thought.” Prizes include the chance to sign the competitions prestigious ‘Golden Guitar’, a promotional photoshoot with Charlie Barker Photography, £1000 of recording time courtesy of Dan Worrall Recording, and a main stage slot at Limetree Music and Arts Festival.

LIONEL RICHIE Weekly Wit Lionel Richie returns to the stage this autumn with his first European tour dates since 2009, and nearly 25 years since his first solo shows took place. His extensive European tour will see him return to Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena on Saturday 17th November. Tickets, priced £65, £50 & £40 (subject to booking fee) go on sale Monday 5th March at 9.30am. To book call 0114 256 56 56, call in person at the Arena or book online at www. motorpointarenasheffield.co.uk. Audiences are never disappointed with Richie’s exuberant live shows which deliver a mix material from a 30 plus year career from the memorable early days of the Commodores’, to the sweet serenades of his Eighties piano ballads and more recent up tempo pop material from the Noughties. Richie’s career has seen him rack up sales of more than 100 million albums, 22 top 10’s, five Grammys, an Oscar for Best Original Score, a Golden Globe and a host of other awards from virtually every major entertainment organisation. He has shaped popular culture as his music has served as the soundtrack of several generations around the world. His music has remained at the forefront of his fan’s milestone moments – first kiss, first wedding dance, first break up, first child. It’s impossible to separate those memories and his music because they are inextricably intertwined. The Tuskegee Tour announcement coincides with the release of Tuskegee, his much anticipated new album that features the reworking of 14 of his international hits performed as duets such as Endless Love, Easy and Angel with renowned artists such as Shania Twain, Kenny Rogers and Willie Nelson as well as his pick of today’s contemporary scene in Little Big Town and Pixie Lott. Tickets to see Lionel Richie at the Motorpoint Arena Sheffield on Saturday 17th November go on sale 9.30am on Monday 5th March – call 0114 256 56 56 or visit www.motorpointarenasheffield.co.uk to book.

JAY Z & KANYE WEST

Due to phenomenal demand superstars Kanye West and Jay Z have announced additional & final dates to their Watch The Throne Tour, including Motorpoint Arena Sheffield on Thursday 21st June 2012. After the phenomenal success of their chart topping album WATCH THE THRONE, a 35 date sold out, critically acclaimed US tour and hot on the heels of their huge success at the 2012 Grammy Awards, winning the award for ‘Best Rap Performance’ (for their track ‘Otis’), the duo’s collaboration ‘The Throne’ will embark upon a European tour that will visit arenas in the UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Belgium, Germany and Ireland. For this project, music icons and pop culture visionaries JAY Z and Kanye West joined their extraordinary talents to form the group ‘THE THRONE’ and released the most anticipated album event of 2011, WATCH THE THRONE. On Monday, August 8th last year, THE THRONE’S extraordinary once-in-a-lifetime, Platinum selling Roc-A-Fella / Def Jam Recordings / Roc Nation album collaboration, WATCH THE THRONE, debuted at number 1 and has garnered several Grammy nominations. The longtime friends and music innovators inspired each other to new heights with their collaboration on WATCH THE THRONE recorded in person at various locations around the world. Over a year in the making and a truly global affair, the duo recorded in London and Bath in the UK, Abu Dhabi, Sydney, Paris, and New York City. The album features production from The RZA, The Neptunes and Kanye’s longtime collaborator Mike Dean. The short list of featured vocals includes Frank Ocean, Beyoncé, Curtis Mayfield and Mr. Hudson. The lead track, “OTIS,” brilliantly weaves Otis Redding’s “Try A Little Tenderness.” The production is classic Kanye West soul, with the two MCs trading couplets over a sample manipulated the way only West can. “Sounds so soulful, don’t you agree?” intones JAY Z, and the two launch into a treatise on swagger, claiming their rightful place at the top. Both JAY Z and Kanye West have each appeared as guests on the other’s stage, and now they come together for never-before-seen performances not only from their collaboration, WATCH THE THRONE but also songs from their classic catalogue. “This show demonstrated how much can be accomplished with a few small decisions: as on the album, JAY Z and Mr. West worked smart, not big.” “The collaboration isn’t merely a powersharing arrangement or a union of equals but an application to be rap’s greatest duo.” – New York Times Tickets go on general sale Friday 9th March at 9am priced £55 & £47.50 and are restricted to a maximum of 6 tickets per person (may be subject to booking fee). Tickets are available in person at the Arena box office, by phone on 0114 256 56 56 or online at www.motorpointarenasheffield.co.uk

ALBERT SNODGRASS

I went to a nightclub in Glasgow and the Bouncer said to me, “You carrying any weapons?”, I said, “No”, He said, “Well, take this knife, it gets a bit tasty in here”. A French guest, staying in a hotel in England phoned room service for some pepper. “Black pepper, or white pepper?” asked the manager. “Toilette pepper!” came the reply I noticed a blind bloke walk up to one of the shelves, pick up a can, shake it, and then spray it under his left arm. He sniffed. Then he picked up another can and gave it a good squirt under his right armpit. Again he sniffed. As he sprayed a third can across his chest, I asked, “Can I help you?” “Er, have you got any deodorant that doesn’t smell like paint?” he said. “You could try Boots next door,” I replied. “This is Halfords.” The barman said to me, “Good evening, Sir, what can I get for you?” “I’ll have a shot of everying on the top row please”, I replied. He got my drinks and tried to charge me £100. I said, “I thought you were getting them.”

“LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY, I SHALL ZAY ZIS ONLY ONCE” MURDER MYSTERY WITH A FRENCH TWIST SERVED UP BY LOCAL HOTEL THIS MARCH Join René, Edith, Michelle and Lieutenant Gruber for a night of food, French frolics and foul play… If anyone fancies themself as a bit of a Hercule Poirot, then the Clumber Park Hotel and Spa’s ‘Allo ‘Allo murder mystery evening on 30th March, could be the perfect place to test their powers of deduction. Performed by the Cambridgeshire based company Pure Murder, the hotel will be transformed into Café Artois for the night, where guests can enjoy a three course dinner whilst the innermost secrets of the characters are revealed and acted out, culminating in a grisly murder. As well as relaxing over good food, guests will also get to meet the café’s patron René, along with his wife Edith and mistress Michelle, and of course, Ofﬁcer Crabtree and Lieutenant Gruber. “Everyone loves a good whodunnit

and ‘Allo ‘Allo was such a popular TV programme, that we can’t wait to see how it all plays out for René and his chums,” says Edward Mobbs, Sales and Marketing Manager at the hotel. “Thanks to Murder at the Café Artois, guests will be able to play detective ﬁrst hand by deducing from strategically placed clues throughout the performance. Plus, they’ll even get chance to quiz the suspects to identify the culprit,” he continues. With a plot intricately woven around a large German sausage leading to a character’s untimely end, this everyday story of the German army, the French Resistance and a café owner, will be sure to have budding detectives dusting off their magnifying glass in order to become the evening’s champion sleuth. “All of our plots have been developed to provide both entertainment and truly brain teasing

challenges, and Murder at the Café Artois is a new murder mystery we’ve pulled together for 2012,” explains Eric Joyce, Director of Pure Murder. “It’s proving extremely popular and we’ve made sure it’s got everything from the original TV series for people to enjoy – René’s secret trysts with Michelle, suspicious inquisitions from his long suffering wife Edith and of course, Ofﬁcer Crabtree’s dodgy French accent!”

The ‘Allo ‘Allo murder mystery evening on Friday 30th March at the Clumber Park Hotel & Spa is £35 per person and includes a 3 course meal. Overnight stay per couple is £130 and includes a full English breakfast.

SPIRITUAL

Goddess. Call upon Sophia for wisdom and clear thinking. Two shrewd heads together can solve any problem. Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

The Goddess that is Connected to Your Zodiac Sign We all have a little bit of God or Goddess within us! We all share certain qualities with mythological or celestial souls. Read on and even skeptics may realise that they can identify with a particular God/Goddess, for example, someone who is a homemaker may ﬁnd common ground with the Goddess Vesta. She loved her family beyond all boundaries.

Scorpio the Scorpion Your Goddess is Billionths the Seductress and Hunter. She has a magical personality just like the sexy Scorpion. The Scorpion is noted for his/her determination to discover a soul mate, so call upon The Huntress to ﬁnd the love of your life. Sagittarius the Archer Your Goddess is Isis the Moon Goddess. A connection of revenge is highlighted. The Archer’s arrows wound deeply but Isis has the magic necessary to heal those wounds.

Aries the Ram Pallas Athens is your Goddess. She is a businesswoman in a man’s world and with warriorlike qualities she will ﬁght your cause. A perfect match for the go getting, quick thinking Arien.

Capricorn the Goat Your Goddess is Hecate the Goddess of Black Magic. The inquisitive Goat cannot resist a mystery but don’t push too hard Capricorn as you might not like what you see! A Witch!

Taurus the Bull Your Goddess is Aphrodite the Goddess of Love. She shares many virtues with the bullish Mother Earth, most notably, they are both nurturing and attractive people.

Aquarius the Water Bearer Your Goddess is Ishtar, Goddess of Wisdom. Ishtar bathes in a pool of wisdom. Aquarius the Water Bearer provides the sacred water. Ishtar instructs ‘You fetch, I bathe.’ A match in water only.

Gemini the Twins Your Goddesses are the ﬁerce Wadjyt and Nekhbet, protectors of the Sun God and pharaohs. The Twins, like the Goddesses, have great strength.

Pisces the Fish Your Goddess is Morgan Le Fay, the Goddess of the Sea and Fairies. She is the Queen of Avalon. She can help Pisces connect with both the water element and Merlin. Call upon Morgan Le Fay to help your dreams come true.

Cancer the Crab Your Goddess is Ceres, the Goddess of Growing and Nurturing. She is also known as Demeter the Bringer of Fertility. Family is extremely important to Mother Crab. Leo the Lion Your Goddess is Pele the Hawaiian Goddess of the Volcano. She has dynamic strength and a tempestuous character. She has ﬁre in her blood just like the Lion. Virgo the Virgin Your Goddess is Vesta. Vesta appreciates peace and quiet just like the Virgo Maiden. Vesta is the Roman Goddess of the Home and Hearth. She is a ﬁre Goddess called upon to make changes. Libra the Scales Your aim in life is to solve problems as diplomatically as possible with your intelligent head. Goddess Sophia, the Judaic Goddess of Wisdom, is your

NEWS & INFORMATION

METAL-ON-METAL HIP IMPLANT ADVICE www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Hip-replacement/ Pages/Metal-on-metalimplants.aspx

Patients with a common type of metal hip implant should have annual health checks for life, according to the UK body for regulating medical devices. The all-metal devices have been found to wear down at an accelerated rate in some patients, potentially causing damage and deterioration in the bone and tissue around the hip. There are also concerns that they could leak traces of metal into the bloodstream, which the annual medical checks will monitor. Prior to critical coverage being published by the British Medical Journal and the BBC, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) issued new guidelines on larger forms of ‘metal-on-metal’ (MoM) hip implants. Advice on smaller metal devices or those featuring a plastic or ceramic heads has not changed. Previously, guidelines suggested larger MoM implants should only be checked annually for ﬁve years after surgery. The agency now says the annual check-ups should be continued for the life of the implant. Check-ups, they say, are a precautionary measure to reduce the ‘small risk’ of complications and the need for further surgery. Together with controversy over PIP breast implants, the news caused some medical quarters to call for tighter regulation of medical devices, perhaps bringing the approval process into line with that of medicines, which must undergo several years of laboratory, animal and human testing before being approved for wider use. What should I do if I have a hip implant? The guidance only applies to large head metal-on-metal implants, which have been used in only a minority of hip replacement surgeries. However, you can consult your doctor for further advice if you have any concerns about your hip replacement or do not know which type you have. Patients with hip implants should also be aware of the warning signs that could signal a problem.

COUPLE LED TO SAFETY AFTER BIN ARSON http://www.syfire.gov.uk/1930 A Sheffield couple had to be woken by firefighters in the early hours of Sunday morning after a bin fire threatened their maisonette flat. The blaze started when a blue paper recycling bin was set on fire in a storage area outside the flat, spreading to a wooden door of the storage area and causing the kitchen window to crack. Fire crews from Mansfield Road and Central station were called to the blaze on Spring Close Mount, Gleadless, at around 2.20am. They woke the couple, in their 50’s, before leading them to safety. The pair didn’t need to attend hospital. Group Manager Ade Robinson said: “The fire would have reached their flat had the firefighters not arrived so quickly. Thankfully the occupants weren’t injured but this incident shows how a small fire can quickly spread to put lives in danger.”

What are the warning signs? • Patients who have MoM implants should ensure they attend any follow-up appointments as usual. • You should see your doctor if you have: pain in the groin, hip or leg swelling at or near the hip joint a limp or problems walking • These symptoms do not necessarily mean that your device is failing, but they do need investigating.

CARE HOME FEES: IS THE LOCAL AUTHORITY AFTER YOUR HOUSE? Many children have enabled their parents to buy their council house. But have they considered what would happen if their parents go into residential care? In the case of Nottingham City Council v Berresford (November 2010) the mother, who lived on her own, exercised her right to buy. Under the Right to Buy rules, only mum could have her name on the title, but she couldn’t afford to buy the house. It was agreed that all the mortgage repayments and repairs were to be paid for by her children and mum was to live there rent free. In return the children would own all the “beneﬁcial interest” in the house so that if sold, they would be entitled to the sale proceeds. In 2007, Mrs Berresford, then aged 83, thought she had better makes things clear and along with the children she signed a deed declaring the agreement they had reached. Two years later Mrs Berresford went into a home. The council argued that the deed was an attempt to ofﬂoad her liability to pay for her care on to the public

purse and sought to register a charge at the Land Registry which would have allowed them to recover the fees from the sale proceeds. Luckily for the children, the Land Registry adjudicator believed their account and held that as the children held the entire beneficial interest, the council could not register their charge. But the result could easily have been different. Wrigleys recently successfully argued a similar matter and deal regularly with disputes with councils where children have supported their parents purchase and carried out significant repairs and improvements thinking they are gaining an asset. The lesson is to make these agreements formal or risk losing the house to pay care fees.

But live music fans needn’t despair, all their favourite acts will still be appearing in the large performance area, and patrons still don’t pay even one old penny for the privilege. Licensee Danny Grayson is so pleased with the new decorations and ﬂoor coverings that he is offering free hire of the new meeting room. Added to the facilities is the existing beer

accommodates 30 people, perfect for “break-out times.” In fact, The White Lion is as near perfect as any pub can hope to be, with a huge choice of real ales and ﬁne malt whiskies, live music and relaxed smaller rooms it is a must-see venue. This Saturday

Review Young Guns - Corporation - 07/02

Words by Katy Evans

If you’re down with wearing wooly hats and hoods within an indoor venue, chances are you were right at the front moshing out to The Devil Wears Prada at their sold-out Manchester Academy performance on 4th March. Spearing the very heart of progressive hardcore throughout their hour long set, the US tormentors failed not to deliver on a massive scale, with face melting hooks and rip-roaring vocals coming nearly as often as audience members flinging themselves at each other. Supporting the anticipated headliners, Brotherhood Of The Lake, a five piece metalcore collection from Plymouth. Although undoubtedly hefty suppliers of emotionally dark and intriguing melodies, the group failed to key up the atmosphere to its full potential with a lack of total venue attention. No fault of the bands however, their niche genre seemed not to suit a much more hardcore swayed audience preference. Last Witness came next up, seasoned professionals within progressive hardcore which in turn reflected perfectly towards the young crowd. A spectacular stage dive did turn into a somewhat ugly mess, however the London based group did precisely what a notable support group should, supplying enough belting beats to arguably obtain their very own headline show themselves. A band to definitely watch out for in the coming months, Last Witness have got a killer repertoire which will undoubtedly serve this young band proud. Opening with the title track off their brand new album ‘Dead Throne,’ the six piece Devil Wears Prada from Ohio went onto throw together numbers across all four of the bands hit albums, with the climax of the set coming with the performance of ‘Dez Moines,’ a fierce number which perfectly demonstrated lead vocalist Mike Hranica explosive lyrical ability. Other tracks, ‘Born to Lose’ and ‘Assistant to the Regional Manager’ followed much in the same vein, each with copious amounts of gritty power to pack a whole hearted punch into anyone who believes hardcore is a genre that is pretty much dogged to death. Stage dives and moshing really does come as standard to The Devil Wears Prada who, quite frankly, could write a book about how to successfully instigate a spot on wall or death or circle pit. Only increasing the atmosphere as supplied by the group however, the intensity reached breaking point throughout the hour long set, which with endless amounts of energy could quite easily have doubled in time (if anyone had the strength!) But hell, all eyes were on only one thing throughout the entire set, the new addition to the band…Mike’s moustache. Mate, that’s just not a strong look!

Amidst the marauds of X Factor winners, corporate sell-outs and commercial successes, Young Guns emerge from a music scene that, let’s be honest, is in a pretty dyer state for back to basics rock bands. Storming the UK rock charts with their number two release ‘Bones’ earlier this year, the four piece from Buckinghamshire proved to everybody that with explosive baselines, driving rhythmic sections and intricate melodies, they too can be touched by widespread popularity…forget ‘young guns,’ these guys could well be the nest ‘big guns.’ Performing to a crowd that if given the chance, could have easily filled out O2 Academy2, You g Guns full UK tour was a salute to their roots with the selection of the much smaller capacity stage at Sheffield’s Corporation. With tickets selling out in a matter of hours, it wasn’t a surprise that the bolstering atmosphere was brewing something chronic, notably with the arrival of support group Polar. An unusual group to support a more rock infused, commercially viable group as Young Guns, Polar however didn’t let this hold them back with a set that wasn’t short of mind blowing. Infusing together lyrical screams with melodic cleans and melodies, Polar put two fingers up to any critic who suggested that progressive hardcore is a genre that’s pretty much dogged to death and hell, they did a cracking job of it too. Although the ferociousness of Polar could have been enough to put anyone off embarking on an hour long set in front of an already riled up crowd, Young Guns took to the challenge like any seasoned professional would. Front man and the ‘face’ of Young Guns, its hard not to notice vocalist Gustav Wood who has so much energy he could quite easily have powered the entire lighting show on their night. Removing his trademark bleached yellow locks for a darker look, Wood’s appearance matches perfectly the more grown up and mature band he is now fronting, in particular with their most successful release ‘Bones’ to date. Combining together a powerful attack of epic compositions, ‘Bones’ sounds more polished that their prior release ‘All Our Kings Are Dead’ in 2010, however still largely remains true to their original, organically unique sound. Highlights of the set came with title track off their new album was performed, which peaking at number two in the singles charts didn’t fail to instigate copious amounts of head banging and moshing around…hell it wouldn’t be Corporation otherwise!

YORKSHIRE UNPLUGED

What can people expect from your live heat performance in the competition? Well (from what others have described me as) fast, punchy lyrics, catchy, poppy, witty, dark and soulful. Basically just me sat on a stool putting my guitar through hell and singing along!

We catch up with Martyn Goldsack, one of the acts that have made it through to the Yorkshire Unplugged competition that starts at The Forum on Division Street on the 15th of March, Talk us through how you started out as an act? I was 18 when I ﬁrst started to teach myself to play guitar and I couldn’t sing for toffee! Years of perserverance and annoyed neighbours later and I’m still around! Which part of Yorkshire are you based in? I have been living in Shefﬁeld for the past 10 years.

Check out Young Guns on their ofﬁcial myspace www.myspace.com/youngguns or their facebook page for all the latest on tours, merch and pics.

Are there any other exciting things you would like to tell us about that you have in the pipeline? I’m currently working on an EP, I am working alongside some great musicians on some of my tracks, Have a gig at SOYO April 16th and am planning some kind of launch around tramlines. More details can be found at http://www.myspace. com/martyngoldsackram

Why did you enter the Yorkshire Unplugged Competition? I wanted to see how I compared against other acoustic acts. I’ve been told that my style is quite unique so I’m interested to see what people in the know have to say about it on a platform such as this. How are you feeling about qualifying for the live heat stages of the Yorkshire Unplugged Competition? Pretty chuffed actually. Looking forward to seeing how far I can get.

Preview The Milk + Renegade Brass Band @ Soyo

Words by DP

The Milk’s contemporary twist on classic soul, hip-hop and ska has already won a wealth of support. With fans everywhere from NME, The Guardian and Neon Gold to Zane Lowe, Huey Morgan and The Sun, the band are sure to be one to watch throughout 2012. This massive twentyeight date tour will see them preview songs from their forthcoming debut album, produced by celebrated DJ and remixer Brad Baloo (The Nextmen). Having been friends since school, The Milk began life as a teenage punk band: after some disastrous efforts to act rock-and-roll, the group soon split, though lead-singer Rick’s belting soulful voice arguably beneﬁted from these loud, formative years. Sometime later, the boys revisited the classic Motown, Stax and Trojan Records that had soundtracked their teens, intent on putting on a club night. Instead, they hit a creative breakthrough. Holed up in the shed at the bottom of their garden, all new songs and sounds were experimented with, which were written in-between and sometimes in response to a series of make-do jobs in Wickford, Essex. Combining 8 horns with 2 percussionists, scratch DJ and live MC, the Renegade Brass Band are a tight ensemble playing with a raw brass sound, mixing the best of funk, hip-hop and jazz into the ultimate party band. The Renegade Brass Band have already established a big live reputation as a headline act, whilst shows at The Tuesday Club (Shefﬁeld), Hi-Fi club (Leeds), The Bodega (Nottingham), and festival performances at Secret Garden Party, Kendal Calling, Manchester International Jazz Festival, Durham Brass Festival and Tramlines have seen RBB appear alongside Homecut, The Correspondents, East Park Reggae Collective, Kidkanevil, DJ Vadim and The Electric, Ms. Dynamite, The Nextmen, and First Word Record founder Andy H. They’re already booked for more shows in Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester and Newcastle, whilst their new EP, ‘Radio Rebelde’, released at the end of February and including a remix of their track ‘Junktion’ by London-based producer Phrij (lifestyle Records), has had regular airplay on BBC Raw Talent.

angler’s corner racing form by Clint Walker

I’ve had a new personal best from a tiny river near me this week.......I had to use exceptionally strong kit to get the beast ashore, and after much discussion, the general consensus was that it would weigh in at around 168lbs!!! To be fair, if hadn’t been for the dog, I’d never had landed it...... I’m fairly sure you have guessed by now that I was on duty when we got this call....to a man in the river having fallen in trying to get his dog out. Putting a drysuit on before I even got on the fire appliance made things much easier as the poor chap had been in the water for more than thirty minutes and was starting to tire. Although he was standing on a submerged tree root, he was still neck deep in water and very cold! I got in with him to place a lift harness around him before my colleagues dragged him onto the slippery bank, so all was well.... A good end to what could have been another tragic story, but frankly an aside; what was really interesting about this is the fact that I have fished the very spot where the chap was stuck, and I thought it was about five feet deep! It turns out that once away from the bank, the depth falls to almost twelve feet, and the bank is so far undercut, I couldn’t kick my feet in far enough to touch solid surface! No wonder it’s full of big perch! On such a small river, it just goes to prove that there are secrets to be found, so when you next amble by that insignificant stream, take a minute to think about what may be beneath the surface; you may be pleasantly surprised! Just don’t fall in....... After last week, I was pleased to be able to get out and use my brand new Spomb; I was keen on the idea before I tried it, but now having used it, I’ll never spod again; it really is that good! It can be used for anything a spod can and more; you can use sloppy liquid baits without spillage, mixers are a doodle, groundbait (wet or dry), pellets, boilies, maggots.....the list goes on and it’s as much fun trying to think of something else to put in it as it is to cast it out and watch it work....get one from www. spomb.com I’ve been on a local commercial today; a tough session during which I had to work very hard to catch. I started out with a maggot feeder rig to the nearest island, but had to wait three hours for my first bite! Regular casting every ten minutes eventually laid enough bait to get the fish interested and I finished up with about 40lbs of pristine roach, chub, bream and hybrids on a day when the other seven anglers on the lake couldn’t muster a bite between them. Constantly working, changing hook size and hook length, feeder to bomb and back again and swapping between one, two and three maggots ensured I went home satisfied on a difficult day.... that’s fishing I suppose, who said it was meant to be relaxing?!

Sandown, Saturday: 2.05 EBF paddypower.com National Hunt Novices Handicap Hurdle Final, Grade3, 2m 4f: Aikideau, Merry King, Open Hearted and Speed Master are all on a roll at present but I fancy a handful against them. These are (in order of preference from last time out performances): Elsafeer; Same Difference; Grab The Glory; Theatrical Star; Dualla Lord; and Oscar Nominee. 2.40 Mobile betting at paddypower.com Handicap Chase, Class 3, (5yo+, 0-135), 3m ½f: My top rated horses (in descending order) are: You Know Yourself; The Sawyer; Prophete de Guye; Qhilimar; Ballyfoy and Auroras Encore. Based on his last time out performance the selection is Ballyfoy, followed by Auroras Encore although the hat trick seeking Tuskar Rock also has claims. 3.15 Paddy Power Imperial Cup Handicap Hurdle, Listed, (4yo+, 0-150), 2m ½f: In order of preference the shortlist comprises: El Dancer; Sire de Grugy; Devil To Pay; Toca Ferro; Via Galilei; Ciceron; Red Merlin. El Dancer gets the vote. 3.50 DBS/EBF Mares’ Standard Open NH Flat Race Final, Listed, 4-7yo, 2m ½f:

Eleven Fifty Nine has top rating, followed by Call Me A Star but Nicky Henderson’s Glorious Twelfth ran a good race last time and just edges the call. I also like Donald McCain’s mare Diligent who is the reserve pick if the selection doesn’t run. Wolverhampton: 2.20 New William Hill i-phone app Lady Wulfruna Stakes, Listed, 7f: Tim Easterby’s Clockmaker is of quite a bit of interest but the vote goes narrowly to Paul D’Arcy’s Night Lily – a winner in a good time last time out. 3.30 William Hill Lincoln Trial Handicap, Class 2, (4yo+, 0-105), 1m 141yds: Just to confuse things Clockmaker and Night Lily both have entries in this as well. However, the vote goes to Mark Johnston’s Licence to Till, followed by Light from Mars, Mia’s Boy and Reve de Nuit. Cheltenham, Tuesday: 1.30 William Hill Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, Grade 1, 4yo+, 2m ½f: I was impressed with Montbazon’s effort when winning at Newbury a couple of weeks ago and he looks to be progressing nicely. However, the same can be said for Agent Archie, Balder Succes, Cinders and Ashes, Felix Yonger, Midnight Game, Molotof, Monksland, Pearl Swan, Steps to Freedom, Tetlami and Trifolium. In such a competitive event where the contestants are all improving one could pick a dozen and still not find the winner. Darlan is another with a very strong claim based on his last outing in the Newbury race won by Zarkandar. That day he was travelling every bit as well as the eventual winner when coming to grief at the second last but the issue with him could be confidence after that fall. However, another that could have a decent claim (if making the journey from France) is the unbeaten Divapour who I shall select in the hope that he comes over and offers a bit of value (currently best priced at 100/1 in the ante post market) . 2.05 Racing Post Arkle Challenge Trophy Chase, Grade 1, 5yo+, 2m: After recent performances it is no surprise that Sprinter Sacre is a short priced favourite and looks to have such a good chance that he is probably the value bet, even at such skinny odds. However, for those looking for a longer priced horse Blackstairmountain has done little wrong and should at least make the frame. 2.40 JLT Specialty Handicap Chase, Grade 3, 5yo+, 3m ½f: Seabass has acquired the winning habit and looks to be on an upward curve. The Giant Bolster ran well at Newbury and is the reserve selection in case Seabass doesn’t put in an appearance. 3.20 Stan James Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy, Grade 1, 4yo+, 2m ½f: Willie Mullins comes here with a really strong hand. His main hope looks to be Hurricane Fly who continues to carry all before him and it will take a very special performance by one of the others to lower his colours. Do any of these have such a performance in them? Binocular has won the race before and comes here in good form. Oscars Well has been touted as a potential upset and carries my joint top rating, while of those at longer prices I am interested in Brampour as an each way shot. Unbeaten Zarkandar has to enter calculations but probably needs to step up on what he has achieved to date. On balance Hurricane Fly has to be the selection, even at such short odds. 4.00 Glenfarclas Handicap Chase (Cross Country Chase), Class 2, 5yo+, 3m 7fs: A New Story won this race a couple of years ago and has run well over the course since. Last year the race was won by Sizing Australia. On such an idiosyncratic track I reckon that it could boil down to these two again this year. Marginal preference is for Sizing Australia. 4.40 OLBG Mares’ Hurdle (registered as The David Nicholson Mares ‘Hurdle), Grade 2, 4yo+, 2m 4f: Willie Mullins is again very well represented (Quevega, Blazing Tempo et al) but I reckon that Donald Mc Cain’s Dorabelle might provide a bit of value here. 5.15 Pulteney Land Investments Novices’ Handicap Chase, Listed, 5yo+, 0-140, 2m 4 ½f: At this range, and with over 65 entries still in, it is very difficult to be dogmatic about what will run. In the hope that he gets in I am selecting The Cockney Mackem who ran quite well to be second on his last two outings. Cheltenham, Wednesday: 1.30 Diamond Jubilee National Hunt Chase (Amateur Riders’ Novices’ Chase), Class 2, 5yo+, 4m: Harry The Viking is the selection. 2.05 Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle, Grade 1, 4yo+, 2m 5f: I like Knock A Hand for this one followed by Fiulin, Molotof and Poole Master who put in a career-best performance last time. 2.40 RSA Chase, Grade 1, 5yo+, 3m ½f: Grands Crus looks a stand-out but if he goes to the Gold Cup then Cannington Brook could oblige. Reserves are: Bobs Worth, Sir Des Champs, Invictus and Join Together – in that order. 3.20 Sportingbet.com Queen Mother Champion Chase, Grade 1, 5yo+, 2m: Realt Dubh has a sporting chance of upsetting the top pair, Big Zeb and Sizing Europe. 4.00 Coral Cup (Handicap Hurdle), Grade 3, 4yo+, 2m 5f: The annual tipster’s nightmare race! Even with the stable going well, with still over 140 to pick from, Tenor Nivernais can be no more than a hopeful selection. 4.40 Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle, Grade 3, 4yo, 2m ½f: David Pipe’s Kazlian may provide the answer. Royal Bonsai is first reserve. 5.15 Weatherbys Champion Bumper (Standard Open N. H. Flat Race), Grade 1, 4-6yo, 2m ½f: The Irish often have the winner of this tricky event and of their horses this year I like Willie Mullins’ Champagne Fever and Jessie Harrington’s Jezki. The home defence looks as though it could be headed by Village Vic and Horatio Hornblower with a marginal preference for the latter who was having his first race when third at Newbury recently and may have more scope for improvement. However, his second to Thomas Edison in a good time tips the scales in favour of Champagne Fever.

MILLERS RESCUE POINT AT BARNET MILLERS NEWS www.themillers.co.uk

Rotherham United put in a fine second-half performance to rescue a point against Barnet, who were reduced to ten men just after the hour mark. Substitute Ben Pringle scored the vital goal for the Millers just five minutes after being introduced. Andy Scott made three changes to the side that was beaten 1-0 at home to Bristol Rovers last weekend. Rhys Taylor returned in goal after overcoming an elbow injury, whilst Michael Raynes returned to the heart of the back four in place of Richard Naylor. Meanwhile, Kieron Cadogan started on the right wing in place of Lewis Grabban who missed out completely as he was about to become a father After a frantic opening five minutes to the game, the home side took the lead on six minutes. Following a foul by Mark Bradley, which resulted in a booking, Mark Byrne swung in the free-kick right-footed which was missed by everyone, and the ball nestled into to the bottom corner. The home side, fighting to stay in the division, were clearly up for the battle but the Millers seemed to be matching them as the game turned into a battle of attrition in midfield. On 15 minutes the Millers almost found a response when Danny Harrison flashed a left-footed half-volley towards goal but a Liam O’Brien in the Barnet goal produced a flying save to turn the ball behind. The Millers produced another opportunity when Bradley crossed towards the back post over the head of Alex Revell, but Sam Wood at the back post sliced his shot over the crossbar. Towards the end of the half the home side missed

DIOUF PENALTY ENOUGH FOR DRAW ROVERS NEWS www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

The Rovers made three changes for today’s game against in-form Brighton. In came Carl Ikeme, brought back on loan because David Button has returned to his parent club, Tottenham Hotspur, James Coppinger returns after injury, with Simon Gillett dropping to the bench and James Hayter starts in place of Kyle Bennett, who also drops to the bench.The visitors were unchanged from their last match and have gone unbeaten, with six wins, in their last nine games. After morning rain, the sun, albeit a rather weak one, came out to brighten everywhere up. Brighton set the ball rolling, with each side spending the early minutes sounding each other out. however, in the 10th minute, the rovers had to make a change when Stock went down injured with Gillett replacing him. The game sprang to life in the 15th minute when the Rovers attacked down their right, with Chimbonda getting to the byline and ﬁring into the sidenetting. At the other end Brighton won a corner but this was cleared. Then the 20th minute brought disaster for the Rovers when poor defending let Rasak, on the right, place the ball precisely into the middle where MACKAIL-SMITH, having beat offside according to the assistant, was on his own with only Ikeme to go round and slot into the net. The Rovers response was to win a free kick on their right, which Diouf placed into penalty area but Barnes could only get a skim header in and put past the far post. A corner to the Rovers brought no reward then Coppinger got in a shot from 25yards on the right that went past the far post. Past the half hour and Gillett put in a cross from the right that Bagayoko, with his back to goal, back-heeled goalwards but Brezovan made the save. Diouf had a good shout for a penalty in the 38th minute but the referee didn’t want to know. With time running down to the break a corner to the visitors came to nothing and set the Rovers on the charge forward. Gillett had his shot from 15yards blocked and Hayter put the rebound high and wide. Play went back and forth in

Attendance: 1765 (284). the remaining minutes, with Buckley, following a quick break down the Brighton left, firing into the sidenet from the byline as the only highlight. The Rovers got the second half going and within twelve seconds had won a corner, which Diouf put to the far post where Brezovan caught it unchallenged. Continuing to press, a good down the rovers right gave Coppinger a shot from 20yards but he was just wide. Then Spurr had go but it was deflected for a corner. It was ten minutes before the visitors got into the Rovers half having soaked up all the Rovers could throw at them. Past the hour and the match evened out with play switching from one end to the other. For the visitors El-Abd headed over for the visitors following a corner and Mattock put over from 25yards on the left. For the home team a corner came to nothing and a cross from Barnes was met by Diouf in the middle but he couldn’t steer it in. In the 76 th minute Ikeme made his first real save of the game when he went down to gather a through ball as Buckley raced in. The Rovers now pressed more and in the 79th minute a corner on the Rovers left was swung into the middle by Diouf and a lone hand was seen by everybody in the stadium going up to steer the ball away. Penalty said the referee and DIOUF duly obliged rolling the kick well wide of the keeper into the bottom corner. Buckley, for the visitors, then cut in from the right and unleashed a shot from 30yards that Ikeme pouched easily. The Rovers tried hard to get the two extra points but the Brighton defence stood firm as time ran out. Successive corners brought a header from Spurr that was over the bar and Robert had a couple of efforts in a few minutes but was over the bar and wide. A hard and sometimes feisty match thus ended at a point apiece as other results went in the Rovers favour and Brighton’s unbeaten run reached double figures.

the opportunity to make it two, when Ricky Holmes ghosted to the by-line but his cross flashed across the six-yard area beyond the outstretched boot of Sam Deering. The Millers made two changes at half-time, with Ben Pringle and Danny Schofield replacing Harrison and Cadogan. The changes almost paid off straight away, with Pringle creating for Harrad, but O’Brien was equal to it in the Bees goal. Substitute Pringle did soon have the desired effect, and on 50 minutes he picked up a Bradley cross, and poked home to equalise for the Millers and claim his second goal of the season. Harrad then had two more chances soon after to put the Millers in front, but saw his first effort saved, and was denied by the impressive Michael Hector on the second occasion. Substitute Schofield saw an effort whistle just wide of the post, and Raynes headed wide with a glorious opportunity as the game ticked over into the final five minutes. Former Millers loanee Paul Downing saw red with just under half an hour remaining, as his foul on Paul Warne, followed a caution for dissent just 10 minutes previous.

DOUBLE RED SEES BLADES LOSE OUT TO OLDHAM BLADES NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

A disastrous second half saw the Blades fail to add further points to the promotion push. Winning 2-0 at half-time following goals from Matt Lowton and Ched Evans, no-one could have forseen what was to materalised in the second period. The Blades conceded two goals and had a man sent off in the space of five minutes and then an injury-time penalty and another sending off gifted the points to Oldham. Defender Taylor came in for his first senior appearance since Boxing Day 2010 - he suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury and missed 14 months but took the place of Collins who missed his first game of the campaign due to personal reasons. In total, boss made three changes with Cresswell and Quinn returning and Beattie and Ertl dropping to the bench. Shortly after kick-off it became apparent that Taylor was operating in his recognised role of left-back with Jean-Francois slotting inside to partner Maguire in central defence. Quinn and Cresswell also eased into their familiar positions in midfield and up front respectively. Williamson remained in central midfield. Taylor’s first touch helped the Blades win the game’s first corner, within the opening minute, but an effort from Jean-Francois was blocked. United actually won three corners in the first three minutes and from the last Cresswell pulled a shot wide. From Oldham’s first set piece, Tarkowski

deflected the ball over. Corners were the order of the day early on and from another, on eight minutes, Lowton’s header was pushed around the post by Cisak. On 12 minutes, Taylor’s eyes must have lit up when he robbed Tarkowski on the edge of the box but the ball dropped on to his unfavoured right boot and he shanked a shot wide. The Blades, however, did grab the lead with the next serious attack ten minutes later. M’Voto was attempting to shield the ball out of play but he was mugged by Evans, who took his time before slotting inside for the advancing LOWTON to sidefoot home from close range. An open period followed with both sides attempting to create chances before Oldham were almost gifted a leveller on 29 minutes. From Simonsen’s pass, Jean-Francois was caught in possession by Adeyemi, who advanced on goal and saw his shot turned around the post by the United goalkeeper. It proved to be an unhappy few minutes for the Haitian defender, who was stretchered off soon after following a three-way clash with Maguire and Kuqi - extensive treatment took place on the pitch before he was carried down the tunnel to the sound of warm applause from the Lane crowd. In the treatment room Jean-Francois would have been aware of the noise as Unitedites celebrated a second goal just a matter of moments later. Tarkowski may have got the better of Cresswell but he dallied on the ball and was robbed by EVANS, whose powerful shot from the right was too much for Cisak, the ball nestling in the bottom left corner of the net. Before the break, which included five minutes of injury-time, the Blades remained on top. Flynn volleyed over and Williamson had a shot blocked after an enterprising run from Lowton. Evans shot wide five seconds after the restart and United made a disjointed start to

the second period, which Oldham attempted to take advantage of. However, the Blades were quickly back on the offensive and after Brown was booked, a couple of chances were created with Evans heavily involved. Firstly, his cross just failed to find Cresswell and then the Welshman blocked a M’Voto clearance which resulted in Doyle curling against the base of Cisak’s right post. United’s Taylor did well to clear from under his own crossbar from Oldham’s Taylor after Ertl had been caught in possession but around the hour mark the Blades were still creating the better opportunities. Evans, after linking with Quinn, had a near post shot saved by Cisak and then Flynn and Lowton had efforts blocked. However, within the space of a couple of minutes the Blades were under serious pressure. On 65 minutes, from a Morais corner, CRESSWELL headed into his own net and before the kick-off Lowton and Oldham’s Taylor were cautioned for issues regarding returning the ball to the centrespot. Then, within a minute, with United on the attack, Lowton lunged in at Tarkowski and was shown a second yellow before the red emerged from the referee’s pocket. Cresswell went into action as an emergency right back but he could do little as Oldham levelled with the next attack. Marsh-Brown laid off to LEE, who curled over Simonsen and into the top corner. Less than five minutes earlier the Blades had eleven players and were two goals to the good! The home side hit back with Evans firing into the chest of Cisak and then the leading scorer was shown a red card - by mistake! Referee Moss retracted the red card and showed a yellow for a foul on Tarkowski. Reid headed wide a Brown cross, whilst Maguire made a timely challenge on Adeyemi as Oldham threatened. United’s Taylor lasted 86 minutes of his first senior game before cramping up, whilst Wilson

threw on Hoskins and Beattie to try and win the game. United now had numerous players playing out of position but went close to a third as the clock ticked around to 90 minutes when Evans lost his man but ﬁred a free-kick from Williamson over the crossbar. The disastrous second half, however, was destined to get even worse. From Mellor’s forward ball, Maguire was adjudged to have impeded Reid as he looked to get free and referee Moss immediately pointed to the penalty spot. The United’s teenage defender was shown a straight red card before KUQI sent Simonsen the wrong way with the resulting spot-kick to win the game for the visitors. There was still time for Marsh-Brown to strike a post before the referee’s whistle signalled that United’s second half misery was over. Blades: Simonsen, Lowton, Jean-Francois (Ertl 36), Doyle, Evans, Flynn, Williamson, A. Taylor (Hoskins 86), Cresswell, Maguire, Quinn (Beattie 89). Unused: Howard, Porter. Oldham: Cisak, M’Voto, Brown, Morais (Reid 73), Adeyemi, Tarkowski, C. Taylor, Lee, Winchester (Marsh-Brown 45), Mellor, Kuqi. Unused: Diamond, Bouzanis, Smith.

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2011/12 OWLS GAIN POINT AT SPOTLAND MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

Sheffield Wednesday posted a hardearned point at Rochdale on Saturday as both sides drew a blank in the final third. Rochdale had the best chance in a game of few openings but Gary Jones missed a second half penalty to ensure the contest ended goalless. The game set off at a lively pace, though, with both sides making their attacking intentions clear. Dale’s Joe Thompson forced a diving save from Stephen Bywater inside two minutes before Owls loanee Michail Antonio twice burst past his marker in the early stages only for the final ball to fall wide of the mark. Chris Lines floated an accurate free kick to the back post midway through the first half and Rob Jones climbed high but the skipper’s header whistled over the crossbar. Chris O’Grady - out to impress against his former employers - turned and drilled a snaphot into the midriff of ex-Owls keeper David Lucas moments later as the visitors looked to gain the upper hand. Jones was then unfortunate to see a further two headers miss the target - the first of which bounced up and over the bar - and Wednesday finished the opening period in the ascendancy but went down the tunnel level pegging. second half started as the first had ended with the Owls on top and Gary Madine went close immediately after the

resumption following good work down the ﬂank from Antonio. Rochdale responded with Kevin Long blasting over the bar from close range and Jason Kennedy brought a good save from Bywater moments later. The Owls introduced Ryan Lowe just past the hour mark and the striker soon had the ball in the net only to be pulled back for a foul on Stephen Darby. The hosts went straight upﬁeld and Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro gave Wednesday a scare with a far post header that rolled just past the post.

JJ WINS PLAYER OF THE MONTH SWFC NEWS www.swfc.co.uk

EVANS BURTON PROUD OF JOINS OWLS COACHING STAFF GAFFERS REACTION www.swfc.co.uk

Chris Evans paid tribute to the character of the Wednesday players following the hard-fought 0-0 draw against Rochdale. At the end of a week dominated by the off-field events at Hillsborough, the Owls posted a point at Spotland that made the caretaker boss proud. Evans said: “I thought the players were terrific today, a credit to themselves, their families, the staff and the 3,000 fans that travelled to watch them at Rochdale. “The players are human beings at the end of the day. There has been change from the top and players cannot effect that change. “But they went out there and did themselves proud. They ran, they fought, they battled and chased. “We had ten corners today, more chances, and it would have been a tragedy if we had lost that game today.” On a personal note, Evans says he has not given his own position any thought as the Owls enter a new regime under new manager Dave Jones, who watched the Rochdale game from the stands. He added: “I haven’t had time to think about myself, I’ve not even considered myself, I haven’t had the chance. “But today is not about Chris Evans, it’s about Sheffield Wednesday and we are one point better off than we were when we started.”

Jermaine Johnson has scooped the Owls’ Player of the Month award for February. Owls fans voted in their numbers via swfc.co.uk and it was close, but JJ came out top of the pile with 39 per cent of the vote. The Jamaican scored two stunning goals in February; his ﬁrst coming in the 2-1 win over Yeovil at Hillsborough before striking once again at Exeter a SWFC NEWS week later. www.swfc.co.uk The results for the February gong were as follows: Shefﬁ eld Wednesday would like to 1. Jermaine Johnson - 39 per cent issue a huge vote of thanks to the 2. Chris O’Grady - 31 per cent many thousands of supporters who 3. Danny Batth - 23 per cent

SWFC NEWS www.swfc.co.uk

Sheffield Wednesday can confirm the addition of Terry Burton to the first team coaching staff. Burton takes up his duties with immediate effect having joined the club from Premiership side West Bromwich Albion. The 59-year-old brings a huge amount of experience to S6, as evidenced by his appointment as youth team coach at Arsenal by the age of just 24. He stepped up to first team coach with the London giants under Don Howe five years later. Burton moved across the capital to Wimbledon in 1988 and went on to become manager, twice guiding the Dons to the cusp of the second tier play-offs. He switched to Watford in 2002 as number two to Ray Lewington before joining Cardiff City during the 2004-05 campaign, where Burton worked alongside newly-appointed Owls chief Dave Jones for the following six seasons.

MEMBERS DAY FOR BOURNEMOUTH SWFC NEWS www.swfc.co.uk Wednesday take on Bournemouth at Hillsborough this coming Saturday, 10 March, and the game has been designated as Owls Members Day. This means that all official Owls members (adults, juniors and students) can obtain an extra discount tickets for the Cherries clash. Adult Owls members will pay just £10 per ticket, Junior Owls £1 and Student Owls £5 per ticket. This offer applies to any section of the ground housed by home supporters. Members are advised that these discounted tickets are only available from the Ticket Office in person or online at www.swfc.co.uk/tickets and cannot be bought at the turnstiles on the day. There is still time to become an official Owls member and take advantage of this special offer, which triggers savings of up to £16 on tickets for Saturday’s game. And remember, Owls members receive an automatic £2 discount per ticket on every other home league game. Last but by no means least, becoming a member also guarantees ticket priority before a general sale, be that for league, cup-tie or play-off tickets.
