Steve Peat in association with the Wildlife Trust and ThisiSheffi eld, are proud to present Sheffi eld’s very own Mini Downhill race, the inaugural Steel City Series event taking place in Greno Woods, Grenoside on Saturday March 5th. The Greno Woodland appeal is an on-going fund raising campaign, where the local community is attempting to raise £1 million to buy the forest back, www.grenowoods.com. This would secure the woodlands use and maintenance for years to come, with Mountain Biking being one of the many activities in mind. All profi ts from the race will go directly to the Wildlife Trusts appeal.It’s been a long time since the last ‘offi cial’ Downhill race in Steel City, the last one was a National in Greno way back in 1995. This time around riders of all ages and abilities will be able to race in the Mini Downhill format. The course caters for riders
STEEL CITY DOWNHILLof all abilities from 10 year old rippers through to seasoned Vets. Various line options are available but at speed it will be a challenge to all. The track length is around 1:30, with a dedicated and easy Fire-Road push up back to the start. It suits mid travel trail bikes rather than full on DH rigs. Whatever your reason is for attending the race, be it for the serious competition or just to have the experience of racing Downhill, we’ll make it fun for all. Riders will get two timed runs with the fastest 3 riders in each category receiving a prize. Spectators will be able to see large stretches of the track, so make sure you bring your friends and family along.Freecaster.tv will be covering the event, producing a full length feature hosted by the inimitable Rob Warner. This will include coverage of the whole track, top ten race runs with commentary, interviews, helmet and cable
cameras… and a Course Walk with Rob himself.Entry details are available on www.stevepeat.com/SteelCityDH On site Medical cover, catering, toilets and car parking available.Along side the race we’re teaming up with SHAFF, Sheffi eld’s adventure fi lm festival at The Showroom Cinema. On the evening of the race we urge you to follow us into town for an exclusive Alex Rankin fi lm “Progression”. The fi lm montage will take us from the early days of Sprung, all the way up to the latest Earthed release, showing how things in the sport of Downhill have taken a radical step in the last decade. The fi lm will be followed by a Q&A interview session with Steve Peat.

I do receive an unusually large amount of texts on my phone, including the occasional one from people who object to my passion for Sheffi eld Wednesday, which unfortunately tends to turn to rather silly things completely divorced from football.Of course, the easy way out is to get my network provider to block the number, but that would go against my principle of free speech for all. I have, however, received an absolute gem this week, which I am happy to share with you. It is all about anagrams, and when you re-arrange the letters of Princess Diana it becomes ‘End is a Car’, Similarly Astronomer becomes ‘Moon Starer’, Desperation becomes ‘A rope ends it’, when you re-arrange The eyes it makes ‘They see’ A decimal point becomes ‘I’m a dot in place’ and probably the best of all ‘Mother in Law’, when the letters are swapped around becomes ‘Woman Hitler’ I tried it with my own name, and it was amazing, particularly in view of the fact that I have on several occasions been accused in this column of bias towards the wonderful Sheffi eld Wednesday . Re- arrange Howard Copley, and quite eerily it transforms to ‘Heard Owls Copy., and my managing editor and censor, Andrew Platts becomes ‘Straw planted’ and the one from Sheffi eld 2 is ‘Fig Pan’
Moving BeerMary was asleep in bed when her husband, Patrick, crashed through the front door at 3 am waking her up. He staggered through the hallway and tried to get up the stairs.‘What are you doing?’ Mary shouted.Patrick replied, ‘I’m trying to get this gallon of beer up the stairs.’‘Leave it down there, Patrick’, Mary bellowed. ‘I can’t, ‘Patrick replied, ‘I’ve drunk it.’
Lawyers Served in the PubA man walked into a bar with an alligator under his arm and asked the bartender, ‘Do you serve lawyers here’.‘Yes’, said the bartender.‘Good’, said the man, ‘In that case I’ll have a whisky, and a lawyer for my alligator’.
Do You Fancy a Double?Neil was in a pub, extremely drunk. The barman, Simon, noticed this, and when Neil asked for another whisky, the barman politely told him that he was too drunk to be served another drink.Neil leaves. He walks out of the pub and in again at the side door and asks Simon for a double whisky. A little frustrated, Simon repeats the answer he had said earlier.Neil, again leaves and enters through a further side door, walks up to the barman and asks for a Scotch. Simon is now quite annoyed, and tells Neil he is too drunk and to get a ride home and leave the pub. Once more, Neil leaves. Again he comes in, this time through the back door. Neil walks up to the barman and before he can say a word, Simon explodes at him, ‘I told you already, you are way too drunk, you can not have another whisky. Get out of my bar!’Disgruntled, Neil glares at Simon and asks, ‘Man, how many bars do you work at?’
There must be some prophetic signifi cance in one I have just worked out, Andy Gray becomes Angry Day’ which conveniently links me to the next thing on the agenda.Much has been made of the supposed off air remarks by Andy Gray and Richard Keys, and although I fi nd it a bit insensitive, surely the penalty has not fi tted the crime. These two had the easiest job on television, talking about football, something most lads do a lot of without getting paid. Andy Gray, reportedly, received thirty fi ve thousand pounds a week, and his unwise words must be the most expensive since Paul McCartney said ‘I do’ to Heather Mills. As usual, after a story such as this breaks, the News of the World are straight on the bandwagon dishing the dirt, with Gray being labelled a man who stole his best pal’s wife and Keys and egotistical bully who was hugely unpopular amongst his work colleagues at Sky. I do think it is a shame that the whole affair happened as Gray was a very good football pundit. Inevitable comparisons have been made with the daytime chat show, Loose Women, where a panel of fi ve mini celebrity women devote the whole programme castigating the male species. Sauce for the goose springs to mind. In order to safeguard my position with this newspaper, I have made a mental note to steer clear of controversy,
although my mentor and editor, Andrew Platts keeps me in check with one or two risqué remarks being deleted in the pastI have often wondered how bands entertain themselves whilst on long nationwide tours, and I have discovered that a certain member of top Abba tribute band, Diana Edwards, the blond one, spends a lot of time practising pool. I have always been proud of being able to hold my own at the game, indeed always being the best one-armed player in the pub, but I am ashamed to report that playing two games against Diana was disastrous for me and I was soundly thrashed in each game. Dare I say, at this time when debates about sexism are much in the news that being beaten by a mere woman at what is predominantly a man’s game really hit hard. Some serious practice will have to be undertaken before I play Diana again.The draw for the fi fth round of the FA Cup gave our last surviving team, Sheffi eld Wednesday a decent pairing with Birmingham City, a match that is certainly winnable, with a good fi nancial reward. Wednesday have signed a quality 23 year old midfi elder, Isaiah Osbourne, ((no relation to Ozzie) on loan from Aston Villa until the end of the season.John Barry, famous for composing the music for the James Bond fi lms, as well as Born Free and Out of Africa has sadly died aged seventy seven.

Have you ever wondered about how St Valentine’s Day began? One thing we do know is that it’s an exciting time for the Romantics out there. St Valentine’s Day began with our English ancestors in the fi fteenth and sixteenth century. Batchelors and maidens were assembled on the eve of St Valentine’s Day and their names put into a hat. A bit like speed dating is to day and the mates were chosen at random.
St ValentineWho is St Valentine and where does he come from? One theory is he came from the Roman Empire under the rule of Emperor Claudius who was known as Claudius the cruel. He cancelled all engagements and marriages in Rome because men weren’t signing up to be roman soldiers. They wanted to stay with their families. The Christian priest Valentine defi ed Claudius and married couples in secret. Claudius found out and Valentine was imprisoned where he died in 270 AD. Another theory is Valentine helped the Christians fl ee from persecution, he was tortured to renounce his faith and clubbed to death on February 14th 273 AD. One thing we do know its an exciting time for romantics. Valentine’s Day is also linked to the Pagan Festival of Lupercalia which celebrated on 15th Febuary by young virile Romans. The celebration was held in honour of the Goddess Febuata Juno
Presents and GiftsIn Saxon England on St Valentines Day it is customary for a boy to give a girl a love token usually ‘a pair of gloves’ the gloves were a sign of authority in olden times. Other theories include that presents were left anonymously on the girls doorstep. They bore the message ‘a good morrow to you my Valentine’.It was in the 15th century that the fi rst Valentine’s greeting card were produced, they were made of lace and velvet with secret panels for messages. Presents sent secretly included squeaky dolls, pencils, books, jewellery and oranges. I don’t think Passion fruit was discovered back then! In Peterborough sweet plum buns were called Valentine buns were eaten. A tradition in Wales are wooden love spoons and heart keys with the message inscribed ‘You unlock my heart’. Now days gifts include Red Roses, Chocolates & Proposals.

SuperstitionsSeveral St Valentine’s Day superstitions have made their way into our modern day lives. After young men and women draw names from a bowl to see who their Valentine would be, they would wear the persons name on their sleeve hence the saying ‘wear your heart on your sleeve’. Others are that the fi rst bird a woman sees on St Valentine’s Day will give her an indication of the man she will marry. If it was a Robin she would marry a Sailor, a Sparrow a poor man and a goldfi nch a millionaire. I dread to think if they saw a Vulture or a Magpie. The bird superstitions probably come from the belief that Love birds mate on the 14th February.
Gods and Goddess of LoveThe Greek version of Cupid is called Eros who is the son of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. Cupid is the son of Venus who is the Roman Goddess of Love and was also the protector of the Roman people.

SAVE THE WORKING MENS CLUBS CAMPAIGNBy Ruth Cherrington
Shaun Whitaker, of Intake Social Club in Doncaster, feels like hundreds and thousands of us do up and down the country. Incensed. Disappointed. Frustrated. Worried for the future of our clubs. In fact, he was so incensed by the destructive attitude of the government towards clubs, pubs and live entertainment that he set up a new Facebook Group to campaign on their behalf. We urge you, our readers all over the world, to take a look at it and also via the short video on YouTube. Please view them and then try and act on what you see! The Facebook group is no ‘fl ash in pan’ group, as Shaun says but includes entertainers, agencies, radio presenters and other media folk. Shaun’s Facebook Group was set up on Jan 18th and is already receiving a great deal of attention. Shaun points out how all the most popular soaps on TV revolve around a pub. I have always wondered why no TV writer has set a soap around a local club, as this would be more fi tting for many communities where it is the club that provides the central venue for working men and their families. As elsewhere, the media has neglected them. Perhaps now they are beginning to take note.
You can give the group a bigger voice. The future depends on it!Look for the Petition www.gopetition.com/petition/42425/sign.html
FACEBOOK GROUP“Save the Working Men’s Club’s and the Entertainment Industry”
If you would like a poster highlighting the campaign to distribute or place in your venue please email [email protected] or call 0114 276 3701
BIG BUSINESS FOR CROOKES Local soul legends Big Business will be at Crookes Social this Saturday the 5th February. This is the second of 2 consecutive Sheffi eld gigs having seen the band perform at Smithywood last Saturday to a hugely appreciative audience that called the band back on stage 3 times and still calling for more even though it was well past 11:30. It’s a welcome visit to Crookes for the band as it’s the fi rst time the band have been there for many years following clubland legends ‘Smackee’ into this excellent venue after an absence of many years. Big Business are the ‘real deal’ with original Jimmy James and Vagabonds members Andy and Alan and former Blues Brothers saxophonist ‘Big John’ who was also formerly with Sheffi eld Clubland greats TNT and Chuck Fowler. The lineup is completed by former ‘Whales’ drummer Craig and new frontman Andy Douglas singing hit songs from the soul greats including Jackie Wilson, The Temptations and Edwin Starr.
RICK WAKEMAN - THE MAN AND HIS MUSIC Rick Wakeman brings his one man show to Sheffi eld Cathedral on April 8th and I would seriously recommend you attend if at all possible.I was pleased to have the opportunity to speak with him last week and we discussed the upcoming show and other projects. Rick seems to have had a number of careers, fi rstly as a session player then as a member of The Strawbs making a real impact on the music scene as the keyboard wizard with the progressive rock giants Yes. At the same time as he was a member of Yes he embarked on a number of huge projects writing and producing 3 concept albums, The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Journey to the Centre of the Earth and King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Journey and King Arthur were performed with full orchestra and choir along with vocalists and a rock ensemble and Six Wives was a keyboard album performed with guest musicians. All 3 of them
were extraordinary as a concept as they involved a great deal of production and live performance was always going to be a challenge. It took nearly 40 years before Six Wives was performed live and this was part of the 500 years celebration of Henrys accession to the throne at Hampton Court. Discussing this with Rick he expressed his satisfaction that this had happened when it did as the technical challenges it presented meant that the performance had it been done at the time of recording couldn’t ever have been as good as it was last year. Journey and King Arthur were performed and I have a recording of a performance of Journey made in Australia with full complement of orchestra, singers and session musicians and I was delighted to hear that Rick has every intention of performing this live again in the not too distant future. Amazingly King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table was not only performed but enacted on ice not long after it’s original release.Having achieved as much as he has over the years Rick is now well known as a perfomer, wit and raconteur and his one man shows have a reputation for being highly amusing and entertaining. He is, of course, well known for his regular
appearances on Countdown.I spent 25 minutes speaking with him on the phone and from the 1st minute I felt as though I had known him for years, which of course to some extent I have. I’m looking forward to the show in the Cathedral on April 8th as I can think of few things better than an evening of great music and great stories in the company of a man that can genuinely wear the mantle of ‘legend’.
AN APOLOGYWe inadvertently published a notice last week supplied by a third party in respect of the cancellation of the Heatseeker Show on 28th January, which suggested that the venue, Crookes Club, was responsible for the cancellation. This is entirely untrue, and the Mercury Newspaper apologises unreservedly to the club for the publication of this article and any embarrassment it may have caused.
RAYMOND GUBBAY TRIUMPHS WITH ANTON AND ERIN Sheffi eld City Hall was a joyous place to be on Sunday afternoon. Impresario Raymond Gubbay brought Anton Du Beke and Erin Boag with their ‘Puttin’ on the Ritz’ show to Sheffi eld supported by the Manchester Concert Orchestra and the show was a delight from the fi rst note to the last. Vocalist Lance Ellington enhanced preceeding enormously with his smooth, classy perfomance alongside, and complementary to, the principal perfomers. Strictly Come Dancing stars Anton and Erin performed with ease and obvious familiarity bringing stunning dance routines to life supported by four dancers who joined the stars in this display of pure professionalism and excellence. I was entertained
throughout and I particularly enjoyed the confi dence and ease with which both Anton and Erin spoke to the audience in a way that made everyone feel as though they were familiar with them. It would be easy to wax lyrical and use superlatives in plenty to review this show.Raymond Gubbay is synonimous with excellence and I would hope that his shows sell out when he brings them to Sheffi eld. I have been fortunate to see a number of his productions and without doubt I consider him to be the fi nest of all promoters when it comes to conceiving and producing classical music shows, opera, and ballet as well as ‘spectaculars’ which bring music to the broader public.You can see Raymond Gubbay’s productions all over the UK and his website can be seen at www.raymondgubbay.co.uk.

The Arteries are a bunch of guys from Swansea, Wales, who have been playing punk rock forever. While other kids grew up and got hip or pop they just dropped out and carried on shredding like descendents of the Descendents. And it’s that spirit that sets them apart, well that and their unrelenting work ethic.Their new album displays a myriad of rock influences, from Hot Snakes to Lagwagon by the way of AC/DC. But there’s no bulls**t and that’s why they’ve made it to the upper echelons of UK punk rock supporting the likes of The Bronx, Chuck Ragan, Less Than Jake, F***ed Up, Dillinger 4 and Propaghandi in recent years.So for their new record, Dead Sea, (follow up to debut Blood, Sweat & Beers, on Household Name Records) The Arteries are channelling their fiercely independent attitude and self-releasing the album on their own collective DIY record label, SWFU, with a little help from Specialist Subject. What’s more Paper + Plastick, the record label founded by Less Than Jake drummer Vinnie Fiorello, will be picking up Dead Sea later in 2011 and putting it out on vinyl to give the artwork, all created by bassist Jamie Morrison, the platform it deserves.They’ve been touring non stop since September playing over 50 shows all over the UK, mainland Europe and the east coast of the US including a slot at The Fest 9 in Gainesville, Fl. Such an intensive touring schedule might be daunting to some but not The Arteries and they certainly won’t be slowing down any time soon! Currently in the middle of an eastern European tour and planning a headline UK tour in Feb and supporting Fat Wreck’s Dead to Me in April 2011 is shaping up to be a busy year!

THIS WEEK’S TV One of my worst nightmares came true this week: Channel 5 announced a bid to buy Big Brother. I knew it was coming, I mean, it was just a matter oftime before someone picked up the show. Personally, I’m praying for theend of the world before we see the dregs of society locked in a house and televised for sixteen weeks - yes I’m still talking about Big Brother, the House of Lords breaks up for the summer (see what I did there?). If it’s a choice between watching another dreary moment of Big Brother or being eaten alive by rabid hamsters, well, I know which option I’d choose! We’re halfway through the series of Take Me Out, and it seems that one of the girls, Lucy, is growing increasingly enthusiastic (AKA desperate) for a date. Lucy has a hunger in her eyes that could put Rocky to shame (ITV couldn’t find a tiger so Lucy will have to settle for Eye of the Beaver). Will our diminutive Welsh lass find her perfect man or will she settle for a four foot lavatory attendant from Harrogate on the final episode?Apparently the thought of a free holiday makes people look ten times more attractive on the show than they appear in real life! Wonder Woman is coming back this year. Producer of Ally McBeal, David E Kelly, is set to bring back the iconic Amazon, but don’t expect a camp affair, he claims. This will be a gritty show but will still feature the lasso, tiara, and invisible plane. Quite right, David, that’s not camp at all!This summer also sees the return of the Thundercats. After a twenty year break the show is being remade for a new audience and promises to be darker and edgier. Thundercats-Ho! The new series of Skins saw a fantastic start for teen girl Franky, who, with two gay dads, has something of a style issue. Franky has to deal with the pressure of being an outsider in a new and often cruel environment.This series feels more mature, but is still as shocking. Gripping stuff. Like putting off a visit to Anthrax Island, I try to avoid anything on ITV2, but The Vampire
Like the idea of a 3hour week? Come down to West Street Live on 2nd February, and see how they do it! Prepare yourself for some real guitar music, great hooks and heartfelt lyrics as 3Hour Week perform at West Street Live in Sheffield on Wednesday, 2nd February from 8.30pm..The four piece original indie band from Scunthorpe have just returned from a spot of gigs in London where they played the Dublin Castle which is Suggs’ bar from Madness, and then the infamous Fiddlers Elbow in Camden“We were meant to play at West Street Live in November last year,” says Dave Gough, lead singer from the band. “Unfortunately this was cancelled due to the heap of snow we had, so we’re back now, and have a solid set that will guarantee to get your toes tapping.”Having only been together for six months as an original band, 3hour week has been clocking up some great gigs and attracting masses of new fans.“We’ve got a pretty hectic gig schedule at the moment,” explains Danny Richardson, guitarist. “We’ve got gigs booked in Doncaster, Sheffield, Leeds, Barnsley, and also some more London gigs coming up too, as well as some very exciting news that we can hopefully reveal in the next few weeks.”3hour week are also heading to 2Fly Studios in Sheffield in March, where they will be working with Alan Smyth, the original producer of the Arctic Monkeys, and who has also produced Pulp, Reverend and The Makers and Little Man Tate, to name a few.Friday 4th February also sees the band playing the main support for BBC Radio 1 acclaimed band, Out Like A Lion, at Love2Love in Scunthorpe.Following their performance at last year’s Glastonbury on the BBC Introducing stage, The Chris Moyles Show team selected Bath-based indie band, Out Like A Lion, from the thousands of unsigned artists that had submitted their tunes to BBC Introducing’s website earlier this year. The band was then added to Radio 1’s playlist, and has been growing at a massive rate due to the exposure.Catch 3Hour Week from 8.30pm on Wednesday 2nd February at the legendary West Street Live venue, and check them out at www.myspace.com/3hourweek or find them on Facebook or Twitter under 3hourweek.

The Plug continues with a visit from a true legend of the UK music scene, someone who was at the forefront of a new wave of bands that changed the UK forever in the 90’s, Mr Shaun Ryder. Lead singer and creator of the legendary Manchester band The Happy Mondays, Mr Ryder and his band are responsible for changing the Indie scene for good back in the 90’s with their injection of Dance music vibes. Tracks like WFL were the first to get a real dance remix (from Paul Oakenfold) that targeted the dance floor and those ravers that wanted to dance. The Mondays have gone on to become one of the UK’s biggest selling acts and played around the world to sold out venues.Tonight he joins The Plug for what will no doubt be a very interesting DJ set. Who knows what you’ll get, but we’re sure it’s going to be high on fun and good times. Expect the unexpected that’s for sure!
The lovely people down at The Plug have given us four pairs of tickets to give away to lucky readers, simply answer the following question and get your entry plus contact details in a hurry to [email protected] before 3pm on 04/02/11

Diaries is surprisingly good. If you like vampires then you won’t be disappointed. Sure it’s utterly derivative, but it’sdefinitely watchable. On the subject of the age gap: does anyone else think a relationship between a century old vampire and a teen girl is just a bit creepy? Get those letters in to the Daily Mail at once! Talking of vampires, Being Human is back and this time the supernatural trio have moved to Wales. Now in its third season, this show moves from strength to strength and is still as funny, foul, and engaging as it has ever been. And there’s a US series starting this year, which, if past remakes have shown, won’t be as good, clever or watchable.
AT THE MOVIESThe Fighter On Release: Friday
This is the story of Irish boxer, Micky Ward, and his journey for the world light welterweight title.Christian Bale is wonderful as trainer Dicky Eklund and Mark Wahlberg is back on top form as Ward, with a performance to rival that of Boogie Nights. Being a movie about boxing, you can expect it to pay homage to Rocky inplaces, but it’s superior in every way and doesn’t have a nauseating American ending. It’s funny and uplifting, this is a roller coaster ride to the top of Ward’s game with plenty of emotional twists and turns along the way. Surely a contender for one of the best movies of 2011.

Who Will Be The NexT Sheffield legeNd?It’s your chance to have a say in who you would like to join the exclusive ‘walk of fame’ outside Sheffield’s Town Hall. Local people are now being invited to nominate the next Sheffield Legend and join the likes of local heroes Sean Bean, Def Leppard, Seb Coe and Michael Palin, The people of Sheffield are being asked to nominate their favourites, then an independent panel will be given the tough task of choosing this year’s Legend.Sheffield Legends honour the city’s heroes from various walks of life – from the arts to science and from sport to industry. They have a special plaque set into the pavement ‘Hollywood Boulevard-style’ – believed to be the first of its kind in this country. Those honoured will be invited for an ‘unveiling’ ceremony outside the Town Hall in the heart of the city. When the initiative was launched six years ago hundreds of nominations were received from the public for their heroes to become Sheffield Legends. These were considered by an independent Selection Board representing various sectors in the city - the arts, sport, education, media and business - which was chaired by the Lord Mayor. So far 16 celebrities have been honoured, although not all have unveiled their plaques yet. They represent a wide cross-section of activities, but all have a strong connection with Sheffield - either being born in the city or having lived here for many years and are strongly associated with the city.Lord Mayor, Cllr Alan Law JP said: “This is a very special honour that I know the Legends really value, as they are nominated by the people of Sheffield and chosen by an independent panel. You now have an opportunity to nominate those who have brought recognition to Sheffield at national or international level. We already have some wonderful Legends in our ‘walk of fame’ and there are several personalities who have a strong claim to join them. “I hope everyone will send in their favourite local heroes to make our Sheffield Legends truly representative of the celebrities from many walks of life associated with this city. The aim is to keep the Legends topical, so we are looking for people who the public can relate to today.” Those eligible for the awards must

BED BLOCKING Hospitals are not meant to be like prisons, but can feel like that for the elderly people who are admitted for an acute problem only to fi nd themselves unable to get out again. Admissions are often traumatic events carrying the risk of infections, loss of physical condition and mental health problems. The Department of Health has admitted that the problem has been ongoing for nearly 40 years. Around 2575 beds are currently unavailable due to delayed transfers to care. A key problem is that the hospital starts thinking about discharge only when the original reason for admission has been dealt with. It then identifi es a series of problems stopping the patient from going home that take far too long to resolve. The need for co-ordination with social services is a common cause of delay. According to Department of Health, planning for hospital discharge should start prior to admission for planned admissions, as soon as possible for all other admissions and that the involvement of caring family members is central to success. So if it hasn’t been mentioned, don’t think its probably all being taken care of. Your hospital should have a discharge co-ordinator. Ask them about their plans and don’t be put off. It is your and your carer’s right to be involved. If you develop a problem in hospital that threatens your ability to live at home, you may need a home care package from social services Take it up with the co-ordinator straight away and get the planning process started. Ask about “intermediate care” services for free intensive support enabling you to recover suffi ciently to go home. There should be a joint assessment of your needs involving the hospital and social services. Make sure this is done early. Don’t ask “when can I go”, demand “get me out of here.”

News reaches me this week from Richard Poole; the East Midlands Carp Study Group will be holding a slide show and talk at Underwood Miners Welfare just off the Junction 27 of the M1. The special guest speaker on the night will be Simon Scott of Sparsholt College who many anglers will know from his television work. Doors open at 7pm, EMCSG members are just £3 on the night, £6 non-members but kids and ladies go free! It will surely be a fantastic evening out in the company of like minded anglers and a perfect excuse to enjoy a pint with friends. Make sure you go along! Richard also informs me that half price permits are now on sale for NCB No.5 Area Club. The club are expecting a delivery of stunning new carp for Osbournes Pond IN Shipley Park which should arrive soon to enhance the already great sport on offer. Loads of other waters on the club card, including Mapperley Reservoir which once held the British carp record! Find out more from their website, or contact Richard at [email protected] I was invited to attend a meeting at Cudmore Fishery in Staffordshire this week. The event was organised by venue boss Cyril Brewster and incorporated some real heavyweights from the angling world. Major manufacturers such as Shimano, Nash, Leeda and Garbolino, retailers such as Stapeley Angling Centre, media gurus including DHP’s John Hunter, Sky Sports, Angling Times’ Richard Lee and well known anglers such as Roy Marlow, Darren Cox and Alan Blair all came together to listen to Cyril’s master plan to make angling the most accessible sport in
the country! Encompassing a National Angling School, a new show, and a National Angling Centre, Cyril outlined his ideas to the biggest gathering of angling and business minds I’ve ever seen in one place. Dave Smith of the ‘Get Hooked on Fishing’ charity and level 2 coach at Cudmore gave a comprehensive presentation showing how almost 3500 young anglers have already taken part in structured lessons to teach the basics of angling. Over 1/3rd of these students are new to the sport which is a sign of just how successful the National School will be. Also discussed were plans for a new angling show to be held in conjunction with the ‘Fish o’ Mania’ fi nals this year. After the withdrawal of Bauer Media from organising the occasion, Cudmore are confi dent they can ‘go it alone’ and produce a show which will better all previous events. Manufacturers would be offered cut price overheads to allow them to give better deals to visitors and push turnover through the roof. Reduced entry fees of around £6 will increase footfall through the turnstiles and the new show will develop and grow as a result of banner advertising from media groups and publications; this has the effect of dramatically lowering costs to the show organisers who, in effect, get free publicity! Cyril certainly has the drive and capacity to make it work; it’s up to the rest to follow…..

HORSE RACINGby Timelord
This coming Saturday has six TV races on Channel 4 with racing from Sandown, Wetherby and Ffos Las.This latter course hosts the Welsh Champion Hurdle while at Wetherby there is the Grade 2 Towton Nov-ices’ Chase and Sandown, the main meeting, offers the Grade 1 Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase as its feature event. It also has Grade 2 and Grade 3 hurdle races and a handicap chase – all on C4.On Sunday Leopardstown has a veritable feast of NH racing with four Grade 1 events culminating with the Irish Hennessy Chase. This will be an informative meeting and offers a truly exciting prospect of top class action for the afternoon. It is defi nitely worth some column space here so I shall preview it below. Starting at Sandown on Saturday:In the untelevised 1.25 Ben De Haan’s Looks Like Slim has an excellent chance of starting us off with a win after his recent third behind Grandouet. Charlie Mann’s Magic Prospect looks to be the main danger and can chase him home.The 1.55 Totesport Contenders Hurdle has entries for both Binocular and Peddlers Cross. It remains to be seen if they will clash ahead of Cheltenham and Peddlers Cross also holds an entry for the Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las, a remark that also applies to Barizan, Siberian Tiger and Noble Alan. In the hope that Peddlers Cross goes to Ffos Las, Binocular is the selection but Barizan and Noble Alan can give him a stern test at this course.The Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase at 2.25, the day’s big race from Sandown, can go the way of the exciting novice West With The Wind (Nap), who probably holds too many guns for these rivals. Of the opposition the best chances look to be held by Medermit, William’s Wishes and Rock Noir. This latter-named had very good form in France and is still unexposed over fences. I am also quite a big fan of the other two although I am not too convinced yet about Medermit’s jumping as he has made some telling errors in his last couple of races. In the ultra-competitive 3.00 my top rated animal is Alfi e Spinner who ran well recently behind Mobaasher at Warwick. There are multiple dangers in the form of Nu-mide, Dansimar, Miss Overdrive, Shoegazer and William Hogarth to name but a few. It really is a wide open contest so with minimumConfi dence I shall stick with the top rated Alfi e Spinner. Of the others I like Numide and Dansimar the best and in a narrow call will plump for Dansimar to fi ll the forecast spot.It is only his advancing years that put me off selecting Eric’s Charm for the 3.35. He always runs this track well but may just fi nd this lot a bit beyond him now. The selection therefore goes to the 9yo Killyglen who may be up to the task. In another open race Mr Robert, Chief Dan George, Burren Legend and Khatchaturian can all ensure that the selection has to go a bit to win.My top rated in the 2.40 from Ffos Las, the Welsh Cham-pion Hurdle, is Donald McCain’s Alegralil but he has also entered the top class Peddlers Cross and the highly rated Overturn. Peddlers Cross should fi nd this contest much to his liking if turning out. In his absence I would go for Alegralil with the biggest dangers in my opinion coming from Overturn, Tarkari and Barizan.In the Grade 2 Towton Novices’ Chase from Wetherby at 3.15 there are good reasons to side with Howard John-son’s Glencree. He only won narrowly in a 2m 3f Begin-ners’ Chase at Catterick last time but the fi eld wasn’t too bad and the time recorded was fast. I reckon that he can take this en route to bigger and better things in the future. The biggest dangers look to me to be Wayward Prince and Wymott although Brian Ellison’s charge, Film Festival, also has a good rating in my system and may provide some each way value given enough runners.
On the excellent card from Leopardstown on Sunday I like the chances of:1.05 G1 Spring Juvenile Novices Hurdle: Sailors Warn, if absent Fearless Falcon then Accidental Outlaw;2.10 G1 Deloitte Novice Hurdle: Cottrelsbooley, if absent Gagewell Flyer then Si C’Etait Vrai;2.40 G1 Dr P J Moriarty Novice Chase: Noble Prince, if
absent Mr Cracker then Mikael D’Haguenet;3.45 G1 Hennessy Gold Cup: Neptune Collonges, if absent Kempes then Cooldine or China Rock
As always you will need to check for non runners as a result of multiple entries. Also don’t forget to check fi nal race times as they often move races about from the early schedules.
Selections:Sandown:1.25 Looks Like Slim, if absent Magic Prospect;1.55 Binocular, if absent Barizan;2.25 West with the Wind (Nap), if absent Wiiliam’s Wishes, then Rock Noir;3.00 Alfi e Spinner, if absent Dansimar;3.35 Killyglen, if absent Mr Robert;4.05 Moon Over Miami, if absent Riguez Dancer;4.40 Call It On, if absent Silver Roque.
Wetherby:1.10 Donny Briggs;1.40 Carpincho;2.10 Regal Heights;2.45 Diklers Oscar;3.15 Glencree, if absent Film Festival;3.50 Halcon Genelardais, if absent Silver Sedge;4.20 Perfect Ending, if absent Pyjama Game.
Ffos Las:1.30 Sprinter Sacre, if absent The Cockney Mackem;2.05 Lord Ragnar, if absent Adam’s Island;2.40 Peddlers Cross, if absent Alegralil;3.10 Wogan, if absent Dom D’Orgeval;3.45 Numide, if absent Shoegazer then Ajman;4.15 Journeyman, if absent Alla Svelta;4.50 Saint Luke, if absent Yorkshire Knight.
Sunday, Leopardstown:1.05 Sailors Warn;2.10 Cottrelsbooley;2.40 Noble Prince;3.35 Neptune Collonges.
Good luck!!
Last week’s results:With Doncaster abandoned there was only Cheltenham to consider.Out of 7 selections there was one winner at 15/8. Gener-ally they didn’t run particularly well last week. Neither Diamond Brook nor Pearlysteps could handle The Giant Bolster in the 1.25, Drever Route was a big disappointment in 2.00, Ohio Gold didn’t run too badly in making a lot of the running in the 3.05 but Hills of Aran was another to run poorly in the 3.35 race. He probably couldn’t have coped with the irresistible Grands Crus any-way, who was very impressive and now looks on target for a clash with Big Bucks at the Festival. It still remains to be seen if Grands Crus can lower the colours of Big Bucks however. A persistent niggling doubt remains about him in that he has still to record a really fast time in his races and, if he does get a truly fast pace (which he will undoubtedly get at the Festival), will he still be able to come cruising through on the bridle? I am keeping an open mind on this one.In the last race Cunning Clarets was sent off a well backed favourite but ran as if something was amiss and fi nished only tenth.

BUSY WEEK FOR THE STEELERS
The Sheffi eld Steelers are gearing up for a mas-sive week, with seven games over the next two weeks.Last weekend the team only had a game on the Sunday night, perhaps getting a well-deserved rest before the nightmare run to come. On Sunday they played a pretty evenly matched game against the Hull Stingrays. Steelers kept the upper hand throughout, Neil Clark scoring fi rst for the visitors with a powerplay goal at 11:19 as ex-Steeler Ryan Lake sat two minutes for slashing. Coburn scored for the Stingrays at 16:37 and both teams went into the second period on level peggings. In the second it was the Steelers once again who took the lead, this time with a shot from Jason Hewitt at 23:45. The scores remained 1-2 for most of the period, before the Stingrays pulled a goal back, Uusivirta fi nding a way past Ervins Mustakovs in the Steelers net. In the third period Neil Clark found the back of the net for his second of the night at 45:04 and at 49:35 it was Jason Hewitt’s turn with his second of the game, put-ting the Steelers two goals up. Jereme Tendler gave the home fans hope with his 33rd goal of the season for the Stingrays at 53:22, but it was too little too late for the StingraysSteelers fans were cheered when the news broke that ex-owner, Bob Phillips, had been declared bankrupt last week. The latest news will interest creditors in the Sheffi eld area who are still owed money fol-lowing the collapse of Phillips’ South Yorkshire Ice Hockey Franchise, which folded in 1995.Tickets are still available for the Steelers game vs the Hull Stingrays on Wednesday February 2nd at Ice Sheffi eld, and Sheffi eld Steelers Supporters Club members can bring a friend for a fi ver. Members wishing to take part in the offer simply need to arrive at the game with their friend, where a desk will be set up for them to purchase their offer ticket.

MILLERS RUN RIOT IN FIRST HALF ASSAULT
ROVERS LOSE OUT IN DERBY
ROVERS SIGN MIDFIELDER BURGE
Rotherham United emphatically ended a run of three straight defeats after a 4-0 win over Stockport County at Don Valley Stadium.Ryan Taylor and Adam Le Fondre both rediscovered their scoring touch, with Taylor netting a brace, but it was an Aaron Brown own goal that kick started a solid and clinical display by the home side.Ronnie Moore handed Ian Thomas-Moore a debut on the wing, with Kevin Ellison making way, whilst Tom Newey came in for Jamie Green at left back.The game began slowly and had to wait for the ninth minute before either side had an attempt at goal.The chance fell to the Millers, and Adam Le Fondre was only denied by an excellent save from Matt Glennon after a clever fl ick on from Ryan Taylor.From the resulting corner, however, the Millers did take the lead with a slice of good fortune.The corner was half cleared to Marcus Marshall on the edge of the penalty area, and he used his pace to burst forward a delivered a chipped cross from the right of the area, which the unfortunate Aaron Brown fl icked into his own net.The Millers grew in confi dence after the goal and added a second ten minutes later.Nicky Law released Marshall down the right, who checked back and fed Dale Tonge.Tonge’s fi rst time cross was scuffed, but Ryan Taylor spun and shot fi rst time past Glennon for his sixth goal of the season.Law almost added a third inside half an hour, but
Starting about half past fi ve there was some heavy rain at times before it petered out a couple of hours later. However, at the kick off time it appeared to have stopped altogether so that the scene was set for the South Yorkshire “Derby” match against Barnsley. The Rovers were unchanged from Saturday’s match at Ipswich. Barnsley were attired on a natty strip of white shirts with purple trimmings and purple shorts with white trimming together with purple socks. The Rovers defended the South Stand end in the fi rst half.The Rovers kicked off and got in the fi rst effort at goal when Sharp’s low shot from the edge of the penalty area was comfortably held by Steele. As each side probed for an advantage the next effort on goal came from Barnsley in the tenth minute when Colace hit a good drive from 30yards that Sullivan caught well diving to his left. Sharp replied at the other end from 25yards but put wide. Then Hayter lifted the ball over the Barnsley back line for Sharp to go for but Steele was out quickly to collect at the edge of the area. In the 15th minute a cross from the left by Butterfi eld was met at the far post by Colace but his header for goal was blocked by Wilson at the expense of a corner. This resulted in a few moments of mayhem in the Rovers area before the ball was cleared. A free kick to the Rovers on their right was swung over to the left and then crossed to the far post for Sharp to get in a shot that Steele blocked with his legs. Minutes later and Coppinger crossed for Sharp but his effort was saved by Steele. The Rovers
Doncaster Rovers manager Sean O’Driscoll has moved to strengthen his squad in the January transfer window, by signing highly-rated young midfi elder Ryan Burge on a short-term deal, subject to international clearance being granted.The 23 year-old midfi elder joins Doncaster Rovers from Spanish side Jerez Industrial CF, who are part of Glenn Hoddle’s Academy and compete in the fourth tier of Spanish football.Admired by both Manchester United and Manchester City at a young age, Burge began his career at Birmingham City, where he was offered a three-year deal by Blues at the age of 17. After making one appearance for the St. Andrews side, Burge departed the Midlands - joining Barnet for a short spell.Burge was later invited to play in Japan, signing a
professional deal with Oita Trinita and later Machida Zelvia, before returning to England where he enjoyed a spell at Forest Green Rovers. After being initially offered a contract with Rovers, Burge opted to join the Glenn Hoddle Academy in Spain on a two-year deal.Since linking up with the former England manager’s academy, Burge has been the subject of much interest, netting the quickest goal in the Academy’s history. Against
San Fernando, Burge scored a goal after just 11 seconds - just one of the many feats that have made Burge one of the Academy’s brightest talents.Since joining Jerez Industrial, Burge has been a regular in the side’s midfi eld and arrives back in England eager to make an impact in the Championship.During his time at Doncaster Rovers, Burge will wear the number 32 shirt.
gained their fi rst corner on the half hour but it was cleared. Five minutes later and Oster on the right fed the ball inside to Shiels but he put wide from 20yards. A couple of minutes later and successive corners to the Rovers brought no reward. Barnsley then got on the attack with Colace feeding Gary O’Connor but his twenty yarder was saved comfortably by Sullivan. Rovers had to make a substitution just before the break, Keegan coming on for his debut in place of an injured Wilson. Into a minutes added time and a weak header by Lockwood back to Sullivan nearly let in Haynes but Lockwood and Sullivan somehow retrieved the situation. A fairly even fi rst half, with the Rovers possibly shading possession.Barnsley came out of their blocks quickly and had the Rovers on the defensive for the fi rst fi ve minutes. O’Brien went down the visitors left to the byline before sending a looping cross to the far post for Colace to head into Sullivan’s hands. Then Butterfi eld put over a cross from the left that Gary O’Connor slid in at the far post to put wide. Then, in the 54th minute, came the breakthrough - for Barnsley. Hassell got away down the visitor’s right, put over a good cross for HAYNES to head past Sullivan from close range. Barnsley kept the pressure on making it diffi cult for the Rovers to get into the game, their only effort of note came after 65 minutes when Hayter headed wide from a Coppinger cross. However, two minutes later, Barnsley got a second goal. HAYNES collected the ball on the right, cut inside Lockwood and hit a left foot drive from 15 yards that Sullivan got down to but the ball squirmed away backwards and over the goal-line. Barnsley were on top now and were determined to keep it that way. The Rovers played the ball around in the middle of the park fi ne but couldn’t fi nd a way to
goal giving Steele little to do but occasionally fi eld the ball. Keegan put a cracking 30yarder just over the bar. As the last ten minutes came up the Rovers stepped up their game but a couple of corners came to nought whilst at the other end O’Brien hit a 35yarder into the sidenetting. In the 90th minute, coppinger passed inside for Hayter to stab goalwards but it went wide of the far post. Into added time and a corner to the home team was headed back from the far post for James O’Connor to head over the bar from two yards. The fi nal action rested with Barnsley when Haynes, looking for his hat trick, fi red wide from 25yards. Barnsley had dominated the second half from the kick off so that once again the Rovers suffered from ‘second half blues’.

Glennon tipped wide at full stretch to save Law’s 25-yard free kick.Minutes later Le Fondre shot inches wide before breaking the offside trap and slotting past the Stockport ‘keeper to net his fi rst goal since 11th December.The Millers started the second half where they left the fi rst with Marshall dancing his way through two challenges before unleashing a shot from 20 yards which was well tipped over by Glennon.Despite the Millers’ positive start County still showed signs of life with two chances in the space of the minute. First former Miller Mark Lynch crossed to the back post only for sub Tom Fisher’s header to be beaten away by Warrington, then it was Anthony Elding’s turn to try his luck but he headed wide after good build up play down the right.County fans may have sensed a glimmer of hope but it was quashed on 56 minutes when the Millers grabbed a fourth. Danny Harrison played a ball into the right channel which was chased by Le Fondre. Brown came across to deal with the danger but under pressure from the Millers striker he inadvertently played the ball straight to Taylor who fi red in a shot on the turn which beat a helpless Glennon.Taylor was denied the chance of a hat trick when, after being played through by Le Fondre, Glennon sprinted out of his goal to clear just before the striker could get to the ball.On 76 minutes Rotherham were denied the chance of a fi ve star performance by the referee’s whistle. The ball fell kindly to Le Fondre who was standing 40 yards from goal. He instinctively struck the ball fi rst time on the half volley
and it sailed over Glennon and into the net but the game had just been halted for a foul before the ball came to the Millers striker.That didn’t dent Le Fondre’s ever increasing confi dence and he soon found himself free in the penalty area again, this time Brown redeemed one of his earlier errors with a last ditch tackle to deny the division’s top scorer.Warrington was called into action on 81 minutes after a mistake by Tonge allowed Elding a shot on goal, but Warrington hurled himself to his left to make a superb low save. The Millers stopper was in no mood to surrender his clean sheet making another save this time from Ishmel Demontagnac who tried his luck from 25 yards.The only downside to the game was Nick Fenton’s withdrawal for an apparent back injury; he was replaced by Luke Ashworth.

BARTLEY LEAVES LANE
THREE FALL CUTTING THE CLOTH
COLLINS RETURNS TO THE LANE
Gary Speed’s fi rst Interna-tional team selection as the manager of Wales includes Ched Evans.United’s frontman is in the Welsh squad for the Carling Nations Cup match with the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on Tuesday 8 February.Evans is part of a 23-man squad and will be looking to add to his 12 caps and two goals for his nation.Meanwhile, Daniel Bog-danovic has been called up for Malta ahead of their friendly fi xture with Switzer-land next Wednesday.In addition, young striker Jordan Slew, 18, has been recognised internationally for the fi rst time.He has been placed on standby for England’s U19s squad, which faces Germany at Chesterfi eld’s B2Net Sta-dium next week.
Kyle Bartley’s loan deal at Bramall Lane has been can-celled by mutual agreement between Sheffi eld United and Arsenal.The 19 year old defender was on a year long deal after being at the Lane on loan at the end of last season and has made 21 league starts this term.The Premiership club ap-proached the Blades about the player returning to the Emirates following the Blades recruit-ment of Neill Collins and agreement for him to do so was reached, with Micky Adams explaining:“Under the circumstances, having brought in Neill Collins who is also a centre-back but on a permanent deal, we felt that it was something we could do, especially as it frees up a loan.“I would like to thank Arsenal and Kyle for their help over the last few months and wish him well as his career develops.“It is important that we start building continuity in the team, especially in defence, as soon as we can, and that must be based on having players here who belong to this club and have its interests at heart.”
Due to printing deadlines this article was written prior to our fi xture with Leicester last night, having gone into the game level on points with Palace we hope that United have done enough to forge some gap between themselves and the bottom three.Relegation to League One would be disastrous and could potentially ruin the club fi nancially. United had a terrible January, dumped out of the FA Cup and failed to win a Championship fi xture – they head into February with six games ahead of them, two of which are opponents currently below them in the table.However in the past the February month as traditionally proved to be an Achilles heel, during the promotion season of 2005/06 season the Blades picked up seven points out of a total of eighteen. Third tier football is unthinkable right now and although it is a possibility that they could become another team who once roamed the Premiership to struggle to keep afl oat – but it must be said that the quality of football has improved and with new signings coming in we hope that next season they will still be just one step behind the elite.
I used to love transfer deadline day.The constant speculation at which much travelled veteran would be signing for the Blades, musings at how much money would be afforded to the manager for new recruits and trying to work out how many non-goal scoring strikers Neil Warnock could feasibly sign in one day.Without wanting to judge our new signings before they pull on the shirt, it is clear that we are shopping in a different market now and we are in for a worrying end to the season.I can appreciate that we can’t afford to sign the type of player that we could in the past, but at the same time we can’t afford to go down.Our club has conceded 43 goals this season, and with one of the worst goal differences in the division at -17, we are in an extremely precarious position.We have sold four fi fths of what was one of the Championship’s meanest defences over the last 18 months, with Paddy Kenny, Kyle Walker, Kyle Naughton and Matt Kilgallon all part of a fi re sale to keep the club out of fi nancial hot water.The bottom line is that we have not replaced them with anything like the same quality through a mixture of managerial mistakes in identifying replacements and the fact that suffi cient fi nance hasn’t been made available.It makes me feel slightly nauseous when I even try to comprehend where our most pressing problems lie and whether we will be able to overcome them before the end of the season.In the signings of Lowry, Doyle and Collins it is clear that defensive frailties are Micky Adams’ gravest concern, although he will surely have taken note of our struggle to convert chances at the other end.All in all quite a negative one this week, but we dust ourselves off and carry on.Micky Adams asked us for time and while slightly worried by the looming prospect of relegation, we must give it to him.

United have made a trans-fer deadline day purchase, bringing in combative cen-tral defender Neill Collins.The Blades have agreed an undisclosed fee with Leeds United for the services of the 27-year-old.Collins returns to Bramall Lane following a loan spell in the 2005/06 campaign when he played two games, includ-ing a Steel City derby victory at Hillsborough.The Scot has today signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Blades boss Micky Adams who says: “I’m thank-ful that the club has allowed me to bring in a player on a permanent deal.“Neill is someone we have identifi ed as a competitive centre-half with leadership qualities and he knows this division.”Collins began his career with
Queens Park and also rep-resented Dumbarton before heading south of the border.Mick McCarthy signed him for Sunderland and Wolves, whilst he has also had spells with Preston North End and Leeds, helping the Elland Road club to win promotion from League One last season.“Obviously, I have been here before so in a way this is unfi nished business for me. I have good memories of that short spell, especially the win at Sheffi eld Wednesday, so it is good to be back and hope-fully I can go on and achieve more than I did then,” said the Scot who admits that Micky Adams has impressed him already:“To be honest, I didn’t know a lot about him so I was keen to come down and see him face to face. The move came out of the blue really but I can see how passionate the manager is and that is how I am, too.“I can see something in him, he is building a good environ-ment at a big club and there is a lot to suit me here.”

OWLS EASE INTO ROUND FIVE
WEDNESDAY SEAL OSBOURNELOAN DEAL
DIG FORVICTORY
Sheffi eld Wednesday eased their way into the FA Cup fi fth round for the fi rst time in eleven years with a comfortable 4-1 win over ten-man Hereford United.The Owls survived an early scare when Stuart Fleetwood gave the visitors a shock lead but Alan Irvine’s side hit back through Darren Potter, Jermaine Johnson and two Clinton Morrison penalties - the fi rst of which led to the dismissal of Joe Heath.The Owls made three changes for the cup clash, with Daniel Jones, Clinton Morrison and Paul Heffernan all starting against the in-form Bulls.Hereford arrived at Hillsborough on the back of fi ve straight wins and showed exactly why with a goal inside nine minutes.Jake Jervis found space down the right fl ank and his cross landed kindly at the feet of Fleetwood, who drilled high into the back of the Kop net.But the Owls kept their composure and were back in the contest six minutes later. Jones raced down the left and pulled back for Potter to smash an unstoppable shot past Adam Bartlett from the edge of the area.Wednesday took the initiative as the fi rst half unfolded and bossed possession, with one six-man move ending with Heffernan forcing a smart save from Bartlett.Morrison scooped over the bar from the resulting corner before Jonas Kovacs headed onto the roof of the net at the other end in a rare Hereford attack.The game promptly reverted to type, though, and Bartlett had to be at his best to push a Gary Teale piledriver round the post.
Sheffi eld Wednesday have completed the loan signing of Isaiah Osbourne from Premiership side Aston Villa.The central midfi elder joins the Owls until the end of the current campaign and becomes Alan Irvine’s fi fth capture of the January transfer window.Osbourne came through the ranks at Villa and has made 30 senior appearances for the club. The 23-year-old has enjoyed two previous loan spells away from Villa Park, fi rstly with Nottingham Forest and then Middlesbrough.Osbourne is eligible to play in the Owls’ League 1 game at Peterborough on Tuesday evening, subject to verifi cation from the Premier League, the Football League and the FA.The Midlands product has been allocated squad number 4 for the duration of his stay at Hillsborough.
Darren Potter is hopeful that the Owls can get their away form back on track when they face Peterborough at London Road on Tuesday night.After an impressive start to the season away from home, Wednesday have stumbled of late, with four successive league defeats on the road.But Potter says the team can draw confi dence from the crushing cup win over Hereford on Saturday to take into the Posh trip.He said: “It was really encouraging to be back amongst the goals at the weekend. Hereford came to Hillsborough in good form, they took the lead, but the lads showed good character to come back and score four goals.“Hopefully, we can now take that form into the Peterborough game tonight.”Meanwhile, Potter - on target against the Bulls - says there was no negative reaction on his part regarding his substitution on Saturday.The midfi elder insists it was a mixture of confusion and frustration that followed his early exit in the second half.He said: “I thought the message hadn’t got through whether I was injured or not - that’s why I was angry, not because I had been substituted.“I was very frustrated. I did take my shirt off, but I didn’t slam it down or anything. I have too much respect for the club to do anything like that. I just passed it to the kit man and put a clean top on.“If anybody thinks I did a disservice to the club, I apologise.”
But the Bulls were far from lying down and Wednesday were given a reminder of what they could do on the counter when Fleetwood broke free down the middle but the forward prodded past the post.Michael Morrison went close for the Owls just before half time with a back post header and a goal at that point would deservedly have seen the home side in the driving seat.And Wednesday started the second half on the front foot, winning a string of corners and generally dominating.Clinton Morrison had a half chance defl ected wide before the Owls went into the lead on 69 minutes - as Hereford were reduced to ten men.Jones dragged an accurate ball right into the danger zone and Heath barged Clinton Morrison down as the striker was about to pull the trigger. Heath saw red and Morrison scored from the spot.Morrison then had a header cleared off the line by Richard Rose as the hosts continued to press and the Owls wrapped up the win with two goals in as many minutes.Johnson picked up possession on the halfway line on 76 and powered forward to bury beyond Bartlett then Clinton Morrison scored his second penalty after Michael Townsend handled Heffernan’s cross.

Sheffi eld Wednesday director Howard Wilkinson has stepped down from his role on the board of the club.The former Owls player and manager initially took up the position of chairman when Lee Strafford resigned in May 2010. Wilkinson made clear his intention to stay in the role until a buyer for the club was found and the transitional process thereafter concluded.The takeover by new owner and chairman Milan Mandaric in December 2010 facilitated that process and Wilkinson remained on the board of directors.He said: “When I took on the role as chairman of Sheffi eld Wednesday in May 2010, I did so on the agreement and understanding that I would remain in the role only until we secured a buyer for the club and until the subsequent transmission of ownership had been effectively and smoothly completed.“I now feel that we have
achieved the twin objectives of fi nding a new owner and successfully managing that transition. I will of course continue to assist the club I have played for, managed, chaired and supported in its efforts to re-establish itself as a major player in English football.”Wednesday chairman Mandaric said: “As he said right from the beginning, Howard has always had the best interests of Sheffi eld Wednesday at heart.“I fully respect his decision to stand down as a director and I thank him for helping to keep the club together when it really needed that support.“Howard’s input has been very important since I bought Sheffi eld Wednesday. Myself, Paul Aldridge and all the fans are very grateful for the time he has committed to the club.“The transition process is now complete and we will continue to try our very best to take Sheffi eld Wednesday forward and back where it belongs.“Howard will remain everyone’s friend at the club and he will always be welcome at Hillsborough.”
Well they say actions speak louder than words, and Milan Mandaric has backed up his vote of confi dence in Alan Irvine by orchestrating another signing on deadline day and promising further new faces when the loan window opens next week. Whatever your opinion of Irvine is, few would argue that given the stage of the season a change of management would probably be a bigger gamble than giving Irvine a couple of months to see how his ‘Second Round Draft’ of players gel together. As I write the result of the Peterborough game is unknown – but one thing is certain which is that as disappointing as it is to be in 12th position a haul of 6 points from the Posh & MK Dons fi xtures would signifi cantly close the gap between us and the playoff places. The only option we have in this toughest of Februaries is to dig in and absorb the pressure. This applies not only in the league but the cup also. With the utmost respect to Birmingham City FC I would suggest that this draw would have been the least popular as the fans choice. Judging by the performance of the towering Nikola Zigic in the blues’ tremendous league cup semi fi nal win over West Ham last week I would suggest our back four need to prepare for a physical tie at St Andrews. Another development this week is the resignation of Howard Wilkinson from the board. It would be unfair to write on the subject of Sheffi eld Wednesday this week without putting on record sincere and heartfelt thanks and best wishes to Howard for his efforts for the club over the last year. It is very easy to underestimate how infl uential Wilko has been in the whole Mandaric takeover – Howard took the wheel of the Titanic shortly after the iceberg was struck yet he still managed to get us safely to port; Howard Wilkinson we salute you! Finally it would not be a JC Snugsville to comment on the fact that yesterday a total of EIGHTY FIVE MILLION POUNDS was spent on two players. One is currently injured reportedly after a fall from a bar stool, the other quite plainly has had no interest in playing for his club the fi rst half of this season. I shall say no more.
