COPLEYʼS COLUMN

Sharp eyed readers of this column will have noticed that last week, due to an error on my part, duplicated the editorial of the week before, which was entirely my fault, and I humbly apologise.

Having co-owned a public house which we changed from a large private house, I like to think I know a thing or two where pub refurbishments are concerned and so I was looking forward to our visit to the newly re-opened Butcher’s Arms, on Marsh Lane, near Dronfield on Saturday evening.

I have to say that I was absolutely gob-smacked at the transformation. This pub, run very efficiently

by Alan and Pauline Higgins, is an absolute show piece, and further testimony to my views that the best way to save our pubs and clubs lies within.

The place was very busy, due in some part to the booking for the evening of the excellent Adrian Paris, and so the theory is proven, top class venue plus excellent entertainment equals huge turnover.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish Alan and Pauline all my best wishes for the future in the Butchers Arms, a pub of which they are justifiably very proud.

Whilst on the subject of well-run outlets, I have to pay a huge compliment to Jamie, who is in

charge of the Embassy Function Suite and the adjoining Foxwood pub. I was invited as a guest to attend an evening with a true legend in football circles, Tommy Docherty, and attended with my lifelong buddy, top D.J. Gary Sinclair. The event was promoted by Dave Gamban, and what a fantastic job he did, with the evening running like clockwork. Tommy Docherty is now eighty three years of age, and looks twenty years younger. He performed with no notes in front of him and did not duck any questions, particularly the one about his dismissal from the holier than thou Manchester United for falling in love with Mary Brown, wife of the club’s physiotherapist. It is absurd that this great character, who has made such a great contribution to football is best remembered for this minor indiscretion, as John Terry will doubtless agree. The evening was excellently compered by Malcolm Lord with comedy provided by the very funny Gary Skyner.

The open mike night at the White Swan, Dronfield has produced yet another good singer, Bailey Whyatt, who has a pleasant voice and is not short on confidence .Entertainment this week has been up to a very high standard, with Gary Phillips, now back running the Forest Showbar appearing at the Victoria on Thursday night, showing his true class, before a top Friday evening with Majenta at the same venue. I Iove to see this very entertaining girl, who is a perfectionist, with brilliant vocals backed up with her own excellent lights, being operated on the night by a very attractive young lady named Holly, who performed a couple of songs, evidencing great vocal talent. Saturday night took us to the Butchers Arms, where a capacity crowd enjoyed the wonderful Tom Collins, before finishing the night off at the Horse and Jockey, where my favourite band of all time, Junkyard Dog were appearing.

Headline of the week has to be ‘Obama 1 Osama nil.

Weekly Wit With...

ALBERT SNODGRASS

Three elderly men are at the doctor’s office for a memory test. The doctor asks the first man, “What is three times three?” “274,” came the reply. The doctor rolls his eyes and looks up at the ceiling, and says to the second man, “It’s your turn. What is three times three?” “Tuesday,” replies the second man. The doctor shakes his head sadly, then asks the third man, “Okay, your turn. What’s three times three?” “Nine,” says the third man. “That’s great!” says the doctor. “How did you get that?” “Simple,” he says, “just subtract 274 from Tuesday.”

A tourist is traveling with a guide through one of the thickest jungles in South Africa, when he comes across an ancient Mayan temple. The tourist is entranced by the temple, and asks the guide for details. To this, the guide states that archaeologists are carrying out excavations, and still finding great treasures. The tourist then queries how old the temple is. “This temple is 1503 years old”, replies the guide. Impressed at this accurate dating, he inquires as to how he gave this precise figure.

“Easy”, replies the guide, “the archaeologists said the temple was 1500 years old, and that was three years ago” The priest was preparing a man for his long day’s journey into night. Whispering firmly, the priest said, “Denounce the devil! Let him know how little you think of his evil!” The dying man said nothing.

The priest repeated his order. Still the dying man said nothing. The priest asked, “Why do you refuse to denounce the devil and his evil?” The dying man said, “Until I know where I’m heading, I don’t think I ought to aggravate anybody.”

round-up by stuart renton

Before I even get into my weekly rant – I mean review - here’s a question: Would you pay over six pounds to check your emails, have a conversation, or to go to the toilet? The answer has to be no, yet people are doing just that when they go to the movies.

If you were at the six PM showing of Insidious at Meadowhall Vue on Saturday, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your overwhelming manners and consideration. Not only were you a bunch of email addicted gossips who couldn’t shut up if your lips were stapled together, you apparently had the bladders of a two year old. Even a monkey can turn off a mobile phone, yet that seemed impossible while watching Insidious, the latest big boy horror movie on the block, and, although you all did your best to ruin the experience, nothing could stop Insidious from shining as one of the truly great horror movies of the past decade.

Mother told me: “Never go out without clean underwear”, and I carried a pack of Y fronts everywhere with me for the first fourteen years of my life. While her statement was useful (when someone had finally explained it to me), my version comes in particularly handy if you happen to be watching a really scary horror movie…

Insidious is the latest of the low budget horror movies doing the rounds, and this one is hanging at the top of the charts because, quite literally, it’s fantastic. The story is thus: a family move into a new home and one of the children falls asleep and won’t wake up (the Royal Wedding can do that to a person). The mother starts to see strange things and they start to believe the house is haunted (well the father doesn’t ‘cos he shops at Primark and is ‘hard’). But is the house haunted, or is something else going on?

Like a supercharged Paranormal Activity, only with a proper story, this is a movie that layers the horror particularly well. Terrifying faces loom out of the darkness and pop up at the most unexpected moments and the movie’s resolution is particularly creepy! With some genuinely chilling moments, this is one of those seminal moments in movie history. If you like your horror horrific then this should definitely be in your must see laundry pile. But be warned: it’s really scary!

Remember to follow mother’s advice and take a fresh pair of underwear, just in case!

ISU FIGURE SKATING

As England gears up to be the focus of worldwide sporting attention in 2012 for the London Olympic Games, another major event is set to catapult the country into the global limelight.

The ISU European Figure Skating Championships are being held in England for the first time in over 20 years after Sheffield was successful in its bid to stage the prestigious event.

The National Ice Skating Association (NISA) is staging the International Skating Union (ISU) European Figure Skating Championships in Sheffield at the Motorpoint Arena from 22-29 January 2012.

It is the third largest competition involving figure skaters, behind the World Championships and the Winter Olympics.

Keith Horton, Chief Executive of NISA, said: “The ISU European Figure Skating Championships is one of the top three events on the skating calendar and will attract competitors and their coaches from all across Europe and spectators from all over the world to Sheffield.

In a year when the whole country will be celebrating the London Olympics, it will be hugely exciting to kick off 2012 with this blue ribbon ice event. We are expecting scores of European journalists in Sheffield to cover the competition, many of them using the event to visit England ahead of the Olympics later in the year.”

Following the 2011 Championships in Bern, Switzerland, where Edinburgh’s two-time Olympians Sinead and John Kerr took overall ice dance bronze, the baton for the organisation of the 2012 event has now passed to NISA. All Event tickets, priced £160 & £110, will give customers access to all sessions and go on sale at 9am on Sunday 1st May and will be available until the 7th June. From the 8th June individual day tickets will be on sale with tickets priced from £10 to £31 for a day session.

From Sunday 1st May All Event tickets will be available online at www.motorpointarena.co.uk, through 0114 256 56 56 or in person from the Arena Box Office.

Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

Reincarnation Reincarnation is said to occur when, after death, the soul or spirit comes back to life in a new body.

This could take hundreds of years. The word ‘Reincarnation’ derives from Latin and means ‘entering flesh again.’ I personally believe in reincarnation. How often do you hear someone say ‘they are the image of our so and so’ after seeing an old photograph of an ancient relative. I remember when I was young there was such an uproar in a nearby family when the father returned from the war and found that he had two ginger haired twin sons. His first thought was that his wife was having an affair. The wife denied these allegations but the couple parted. When the boys were grown up one of them decided to research his family history and found that ginger haired boys ran in the family. His great, great, great grandma had four boys all with ginger hair. You never know when genes are going to cause an upset.

Recent studies indicate that the idea of reincarnation is now being accepted by Westerners including Christians and disciplines such as Kabbalah, which the singer Madonna follows. The belief in reincarnation is particularly high in Baltic countries with Lithuania having a belief of 44%. The lowest being East Germany with 12%.

Reincarnation is an intrinsic part of many Native American and Inuit tribe traditions. Thunder Cloud, a Winnibago Shaman, talks about his two previous lives and how he came back to his third. He describes his time between lives and how he was blessed by the Earth Maker and all abiding spirits. He was given special powers including the ability to heal the sick.

‘Past reincarnation’ usually termed ‘past lives’ is a key principle of the famous religion of Scientology which is followed by Tom Cruise.

Have you ever lived before?

Below are a few questions that could help discover whether you have had a past life.

Q Do you have an obsessive interest in a particular period in history? For instance, I have an interest in Japanese culture.

Q Have you ever been drawn to a particular country?

I would love to go to Tibet.

Q Have you ever felt like you were born ‘out of

time,’ that you did not belong to the present? I was once regressed and discovered that I had been a fisherman fishing in a small boat. I fell in and drowned. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I have a deep fear of water and hate washing my hair.

Q Do you have a talent that no-one in the family has?

These all indicate memory of a past life.

Birthmarks and Scars Those who dismiss the idea of reincarnation on the grounds that there is no hard scientific proof to support it cannot have considered the many recorded incidents of Karmic birthmarks. One story is of an Indian boy Ravi Shanter. He claimed that he had been beheaded in a previous life. His parents didn’t believe him until they saw the knife shaped scar on their sons neck where the blade had severed his head from his body.

Deja-Vu Many of us go to a place and feel that we have been there before. I felt that the first time I went to Whitby, North Yorkshire. I felt at home. This is also evidence for reincarnation.

I hope you take the test and find out if you have a connection with a past life.

Sheffield 50+ - The Voice of Older People Heard Nationally Hard Times Stay Safe in the Sun Over 150 people, mainly women, including a number of Sheffield 50+ members attended a conference about pensions – the impact for women and how to respond. There were several prominent speakers talking about women and pensions followed by workshops.

Sheffield 50+ led one of the workshops, Women Pensioners and Poverty, with Kate Green MP. Many issues came out in the workshop including the confusion about women’s pension rights and how to claim Pension Credit and a lack of understanding of the proposed changes to pensions.

From left to right Kate Green MP, Jane Tanser, Sadie Jones, Julie Berrisford, Pat Barron, Corah Gordon and Kepperine Robinson

Pedal Ready

by Hilary Taylor-Firth

Have you ever thought about taking up cycling again, perhaps to keep fit, maybe to save on petrol as a quicker means of getting around than walking or simply just for enjoyment? If you have but are a bit nervous because it’s a while – or as in my case – a long while – since you last had a go, then I can thoroughly recommend Pedal Ready to get you started again.

Pedal Ready are a team of Bikeability approved cycle instructors, many of whom are volunteers, who deliver National Standard Cycle Training to all ages and abilities of people living or working in Sheffield. They wholeheartedly believe in the Bikeability Ethos “more cycle journeys, by more people, more often,” and they aim to achieve this in a variety of ways. Courses are generally free and can be on a one2one or group basis. They also organise free bike rides you can join and much more besides.

Two group courses are starting from next Tuesday, May 10th, every Tuesday morning for six weeks, in the safe environment of either Hillsborough Park or Endcliffe.

On the other hand, if you have never learnt to ride and would like to, there are also free beginners courses based at Sharrow Old School and Decathlon.

For more information or to book on a course or a ride please ring 0114 241 2775, email: admin@pedalready.co.uk or website www.pedalready.co.uk

NHS Sheffield is backing a national campaign warning youngsters of the dangers of the sun.

Run by the British Association of Dermatologists, National Sun Awareness Week takes place from Monday, May 2 to Friday, May 5.

It gives key pointers for staying safe in the sun and guidance as to how to check for melanoma – one of the most serious types of skin cancer – by monitoring changes to skin and moles.

In Sheffield alone 112 people were diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma (the most serious form of skin cancer) in 2010, and rates of malignant melanoma cancers in the city are significantly higher than the average for the England. And new research from Cancer Research UK says that more than two people are diagnosed with melanoma in Britain every day, with numbers for people aged 15 to 35 diagnosed tripling since the late 1970s.

Dr Anthony Gore, GP, said: “Everyone enjoys being out in the sunshine, but just because a tan looks good and feels good that doesn’t mean it’s healthy for you or your skin.

“Anyone wanting to stay safe in the sun can do so by following a few simple tips: spending time in the shade when the sun’s rays are at their most intense between 11am and 3pm, using factor 15+ sunscreen, and covering more at-risk areas up with t-shirts, hats and sunglasses.

“Babies and young children are much more vulnerable to the damaging effects of the sun’s rays as they have delicate, thinner skin, so be sure to protect them by keeping them out of direct sunlight, applying factor 15+ sunscreen to their skin and putting on sunhats to shield their faces from burns.”

“Highlighting sun damage is really important, and last year’s figures prove it can make all the difference between skin cancer being detected.”

New laws introduced under the Sunbeds (Regulation) Act 2010 now mean that under-18s are banned from using sunbeds in tanning salons, gyms and leisure centres, with businesses facing fines of up to £20,000 if they flout the rules.

“The under-18 sunbed tan ban is really good news as young skin isn’t properly formed, and it’s a powerful way to send a clear message out that youngsters shouldn’t overexposure their skin to intensely harmful UV rays,” Dr Gore added.

Sheffield people should also look out for the sun awareness campaign that will be run by local pharmacies in May across Sheffield.

MOORHEAD TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS: ONLINE POLL The busy city centre junction at Moorhead (at the top of the Moor near Debenhams) has to deal with both the traffic on Furnival Gate and Pinstone Street and the pedestrians who also cross both of these roads.

On a typical weekday, the junction has 10,000 traffic movements and 22,000 pedestrian crossing movements. On a typical Saturday, the number of vehicle movements through the junction decreases slightly but the pedestrian movements almost double to 40,000.

You can vote now to say whether you think the junction should stay as it is or change to let traffic turn right out of Pinstone Street onto Furnival Gate.

For more information and to take part in the poll go to http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/roads/ schemes/moorheadvote

THAT CLUBS & THINGS GO BUMP IN ROYALTY THE NIGHT CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK

by Ruth Cherrington

Just in case you’ve been living on another planet for the past week or so, we now have a new Princess.

Kate Middleton has entered the Royal Family after marrying her Prince Charming and heir to the throne Prince William. Whether you like them or loathe them, the Royal Family still play a big part in our society and clubs up and down the country put up the bunting and held special ‘dos’ to celebrate the young couple’s nuptials. I’m sure some clubs genuinely celebrated the wedding (it’s been a while since the last ‘big one’ let’s face it) but many would have been taking the opportunity to make a bit of extra, well needed money on this additional day off.

At the Clubs Beer and Trades Fair in Blackpool a few weeks ago, there were companies promoting their special Kate and Wills paraphernalia, which would have been essential for a right old royal knees up in clubs. Making the most of the moment and a bit of Radio Nightingale broadcasts money can’t be a bad thing and it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week all helps to bring people together for the patients and staff of the with a sense of community at the Rotherham General Hospital on end of the day.

MAGIC AM

by Trevor Thomas

I had a call on the show a few weeks ago from Mary in Sheffield about something she got up and started doing when she woke up one night and couldn’t get back to sleep. A lot of us have had those moments when counting sheep or even the stars doesn’t seem to work, so we start doing something and making use of that time otherwise left just lying there.

Quite a few stories followed on the phones from listeners about going out for a walk, or even in one case laying the table for breakfast before collapsing in a heap on the sofa with no recollection whatsoever.

Nowadays, there’s the computer to help pass the time and of course 24 hour TV, but beware half consciously ordering things from those shopping channels then forgetting all about it, plus there are gaming consoles and always ourselves at Magic with the best of the 60s, 70s and more around the clock.

Mary made two job lots of curry though, one beef and one lamb.

Personally I can’t think of a better way to get back to sleep afterwards than with the wafting smells sweeping through from the kitchen. Admittedly though given we are talking curry, you might end up waking up again for totally different reasons if you’ve taken to eating any.

Join me on the show this week back from holiday with more fun and games, great songs and chances to win – Monday to Friday 6.00 to 10.00am on Magic AM. See you then Trevor

WANTED AT THE RACES

Widely lauded as the hottest boy band to emerge in the last twelve months, The Wanted are to appear live at Doncaster Racecourse a week on Saturday the 14th May 2011, kicking off the racecourse’s Summer Concert Season.

They will be the musical centrepiece of the Construction Index Race Day which features 6 evening races and a performance by fellow boy band Twenty Twenty prior to The Wanted’s headline set.

The Wanted are a five piece boy band made up of Tom, Siva, Max, Jay and Nathan and the lads are absolutely thrilled to have rocketed to stardom at such a lightening quick pace this last year. Their self titled debut album ascended to no. 4 in the UK Album Chart with hit single ‘All Time Low’ reaching top spot in the UK Single Chart and receiving a BRIT Awards nomination for Best British Single on the way. Speaking exclusively to The Mercury, the youngest member of the group Nathan Sykes said a career in music was everything he had ever dreamed of and working with the rest of the guys was “absolutely wicked whether we are on stage, the road or in the studio.”

The boys visited S.Yorks last month, Nathan stated “We were up in Sheffield last month and the noise, energy and enthusiasm of the crowd means we are looking forward to being in South Yorks again and i’m sure the fact people have enjoyed a days racing

LIVE REVIEW by KT Evans Best Coast Queens Social - 28/04 Thursday 28th April…a day which educated the masses. A day which opened our eyes to two very important things indeed. Best Coast. A three piece from La consisting of Beth, Bob and Ali, this 1960’s-esque, low-fi group not only demonstrated serious musical craftsmanship, but also their unique talent for sustaining and entertaining an audience.

Queens Social Club. Where have you been hiding all our lives? A superb venue not only for the crowd but for the acts alike, which is presented by the intimacy and closeness of the main room. So it is true, you really do learn something new every day.

Aiming to spread the love here in the UK, Best Coast are the official sound track to summer.

Although lead singer Bethany’s vocals are sweet and girly, contrast this to the edgy bass lines as produced in tracks such as ‘When I’m with you’ and its clear to see that Best Coast have a certain ‘underground’ feel about them. On the surface they’re sweet and charming yes, however scratch deeper and its evident Best Coast are far more than what they first appear. Bethany’s lyrics mirror first loves, broken relationships, but with an ‘I don’t give a s***’ mentality. Hell, this girl is cool.

Opening with ‘Sun was High (So Was I),’ from the word go, Best Coast were always going to be a hit. With a whole spectrum of different people in the audience although mostly taken over by trendies, the crowd were efficiently singing back lyrics and getting into the swing of it. A highlight of the night came in the first half of the three piece’s set when ‘Boyfriend’ was performed. Included on the list for the best new tracks in US publication ‘Pitchfork Media,’ the surfer rock tune is not only ridiculously catchy but also has moments of serious greatness; backing legato vocals are reminiscent of that of the 1960’s, arguably the best song of the bands repertoire.

Although the mood did lessen somewhat when new tracks, not on Best Coast’s debut album ‘Crazy For You’ were performed, the crowd didn’t lose faith and kept with it until the end.

With a set running for just under an hour, Bethany announced ‘I have been sick before I can on stage’ however this didn’t seem to affect her performance. Constant interaction with the crowd, she was lively, chatty and just so damn cool it’s untrue. We want to be Bethany Cosentino. Full stop.

beforehand will add to the atmosphere.”

The lads started work on their second studio album earlier this year in January, “We wanted the second album to sound different to the first, none of us want our fans to become bored of us and we’re trying to stay fresh” Nathan said. Twelve months ago The Wanted were in South Yorkshire supporting The Saturdays, “About a year ago we were supporting The Saturdays up here and now we’ve just completed our first tour of our own and we’re headlining all sorts of events like this, it’s happened so fast and we are very grateful to the fans” Nathan finished.

The first single from the new album ‘Gold Forever’ was released in March in aid of Comic Relief and reached number 3 in the UK Singles Chart. 2011 looks set to be another bumper year for them as they tour the UK followed by their ever adoring army of fans.

Tickets are still available for The Wanted at Doncaster Racecourse on Saturday 14th May from www.doncaster-racecourse.co.uk with a full six race meeting being held starting at 6pm before The Wanted and Twenty Twenty perform after the meeting.

LIVE PREVIEW by KT Evans Noah and the Whale Leadmill - 07/05 On paper, combining two very spate genres; indie and folk should not work. It wouldn’t make sense, the guitar fuelled beats of indie music plus the breezy lyrics of folk. Noah and The Whale are the exception. Not only have they swayed the charts with their loveable interpretation of music, but also have opened the public’s eyes to a whole new, relatively unexplored genre of music. Bringing their unique show to the Leadmill on Saturday 7th May, it’s your chance to witness one of the most revolutionary bands in the current UK chart music.

With three top ten albums since 2007, Noah and The Whale have rapidly become a household name. Originating from Twickenham in London, the five piece have also achieved a number seven chart position with their debut single ‘5 Years Time,’ which saw BRIT award winner Laura Marling contribute vocals 2008. More recently, the band has gone on to further release L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N, seeing them snatch a very commendable number fourteen in the official UK charts. Being heavily publicised by the likes of Fern Cotton and Greg James on Radio 1, Noah and the Whale have very quickly marked their stamp on the music industry.

Although the band are set as a five piece now, historically they have had various musicians combine vocals or instrumental sessions to their tracks. Emmy the Great sung with Noah and the Whale for a short period in 2007 along with Rebecca Taylor from Slow Club who also contributed vocals to the band whilst they were on tour in early 2008. Their second album, ‘The First Days of Spring’ released in 2009 had numerous plays on US Hit Series One Tree Hill, notably ‘Some roads lead nowhere’ which was released late 2009. ‘Give a little love’ from their second album was also played on the US serious Cougar Town. Undoubtedly therefore the band are aiming to break into the US charts.

With countless festival appearances since 2007, Noah and the Whale have gigged all over the country, including slots at Glastonbury, Latitude, V Festival and Reading and Leeds.

Their performance last year at Leeds Festival received a particularly high amount of praise, which saw them playing on the Festival Republic stage. Fingers crossed they’ll be playing at the incredibly popular festival again this year then!

Tickets are still available for Noah and the Whale at Leadmill on Saturday 7th May. For more info, visit the venues website (www. leadmill.co.uk).

FERRET FEVER

Ferrets are playful and sociable animals which bring enjoyment to many thousands of owners across the UK. National Ferret Day on 5 May celebrates how rewarding pet ferrets can be, and PDSA Senior Vet Sean Wensley has some helpful advice on keeping your ferrets healthy and happy.

0114 253 6969

TNT TV REPAIRS

PETS CORNER

Telephone 0114 232 1839

Environment Ferrets need a large weatherproof home that is raised off the ground and out of direct sunlight; the more space they have the better.

Ferrets also need a large exercise area where they can run around and play. Ideally, the floor area should not be less than 10 square metres.

This should be safe and secure from young children and other family pets and should have wire mesh sunk into the ground so that they cannot dig their way out.

Although ferrets are very clean animals, their hutch should be cleaned out once a day by removing any wet or dirty bedding and any uneaten food. If a litter tray is used, this should also be cleaned out daily. A thorough weekly clean of the hutch is also recommended.

Diet It is best to feed commercial ferret nuggets, available from pet shops, as these contain all the nutrients that ferrets need, in the right amounts.

Ferrets are carnivores (meat eaters), so can’t survive on a vegetarian diet.

As a treat once in a while, ferrets like whole eggs (still in their shell). They also like vitamin pastes and these can be useful for training purposes. Don’t feed human foods (e.g. cakes) or fruit because they can cause digestive upsets and obesity.

Ferrets need constant access to fresh clean drinking water from a suitable water bottle with a metal spout. Bowls can be messy because ferrets will turn them over or may use them as a toilet.

Behaviour As well as plenty of exercise, ferrets need to be provided with things that they can climb on, play with and explore.

Cardboard rolls and boxes make great toys, as well as the ramps and tunnels made specifically for small pets. Drainpipes are ideal for playful ferrets to run through.

Scatter some of their food around the cage and hide some in tubes, to encourage interest and activity.

Company Ferrets are social animals and should have other ferrets for company otherwise they can be lonely and stressed.

Littermates of the same sex make the best companions as this minimises the chance of fighting.

Unneutered males and females shouldn’t be kept together, as they will breed and it can be difficult to find homes for the young.

Health As with any animal, if there are any changes in your ferrets’ eating habits, signs of pain or discomfort, unusual swellings or changes to the skin or fur then visit your vet.

Ferrets can be vaccinated against canine distemper virus (CDV). You should speak to your vet about the risk of CDV in your area and whether or not vaccination is recommended.

Ferret owners should speak to their vet about controlling reproduction in their ferrets, and this is especially important for the owners of female ferrets (jills). This is because jills that come in to season can develop potentially fatal anaemia if the season continues. Neutering, or giving a hormone injection, are two ways of preventing this problem.

Angler’s Corner

by Clint Walker

Chance meetings on the bank are often a fantastic source of information, gossip and ideas; this week I met Mark Parker, feature editor of Improve Your Coarse Fishing magazine whilst I was fishing on a local venue.

Mark was there with a photographer to record the opening of a new predator lake on a commercial venue in North Staffordshire, and was keen to get some shots and editorial for the intended feature. Sadly, it didn’t work out as required, with just a couple of small jack pike hitting the mat, but I took the chance to wander over to see what I could learn about writing for the angling media....

As a feature editor, Mark told me he regularly gets lots of emails telling him that “.....you should pay me to write for your magazine because I catch big carps” or something along similar lines from anglers who really have little idea what is required to be published in the popular press, and these kind of submissions are doomed to disappointing failure....I asked Mark what really gets on his nerves, and he told me the use of the word obviously; to quote Mark, “.....obvious; if it’s obvious, why write it?” A valid point and one I’m obviously keen to learn from........He also had an aversion to nevertheless and however which sadly, I do know I’m sometimes guilty of using, so I will make a conscious effort to cease.....however it could be difficult!

Nevertheless, I must seek to try and learn from those who are far more experienced than I, so I also asked Mark what he thought grabbed a reader.

Definitive answer? A different angle! He recounted a story of finding a venue on which anglers were using an innovative new method to catch lots of chub; the venue in question is the lovely Loxley Lake near Sheffield, and the method is known as the ‘violin’. Mark had heard whispers that a group of anglers had developed a technique which was hauling chub out to the astonishment of those around them, one which had won matches and produced huge bags of fish.

Travelling up to Sheffield, Mark found that these lads had been using the plastic insert from a Kinder chocolate egg as a makeshift maggot feeder to drip baits through the swim as the tackle was retrieved. Attached to the Kinder egg was a long mono hook link with a maggot hook bait which sat approximately 6’ below the plastic ball. The ‘egg’ had been drilled to allow maggots to escape slowly as the angler cast out, then pulled line from the rod butt to move the assembly back through the water before tightening up and repeating the process. The net result was that maggots fell through the water in a continuous stream to simulate ‘on the drop’ feeding by hungry chub which then competed to snap up the hook bait!! Brilliant yet simple!!!

To his amazement, Mark was informed that ‘everyone’ knew about the new method, well, everyone in Sheffield did, but not the whole country.....it made a great feature for the magazine and Sheffield anglers got the credit for a fantastic bit of lateral thinking! Like I said previously, a chance meeting can often lead to increased knowledge.......don’t be frightened to ask!

Racing Form

by Timelord

This coming weekend is one of those typically lacklustre early season affairs. For the TV fare, of the seven races on offer on C4, there are a couple of tricky handicaps to solve, a Group 3 Fillies’ race, three Listed races and a Grade 3 Hurdle. After the TV coverage finishes there is then a Group 3 Derby Trial at Lingfield.

In the opener at Haydock at 2.00 I like the chances of Eve Johnson Houghton’s The Cheka although in this close knit affair it is a narrow preference over my other short-listed animals: Mont Agel; Folly Bridge (also entered at Lingfield); Kakatosi; and Magic Cat. The best race on offer looks to me to be the Grade 3 Swinton Hurdle at Haydock which goes off at 3.40.

This event is often run at a furious pace on fast ground and is usually a very enjoyable spectacle. This year looks to have attracted the normal types who can go a bit and promises to be as exciting as usual. I really like the look of Alan King’s Jubail, who was second to Ultravox last time out in a quite decent Ascot novices’ event that was run at a good clip. This performance gives him every chance of going one better here and to boot he should go off at a fair price in this competitive event. Of the others Safari Journey could be a major player, reverting to hurdling after some pretty good chasing exploits. Nicky Henderson’s Eradicate will also be a dangerous opponent for the selection and Barizan, who for a former Grade1 winner has been below par this year, could pose problems if returning to his best.

At Ascot, their opener at 2.20 can go to Henry Cecil’s unbeaten filly Vita Nova who should have too much toe for her rivals at these weights. She is a relatively confident selection to prevail over some fairly respectable types, notably the five-timer seeking Alainmaar, Big Creek, Caucus, Taqleed and World Heritage.

In their next race at 2.50, a fillies’ handicap I have it as a very close call between Eve Johnson Houghton’s Fontley and Richard Hannon’s Kalahaag. My preference is for the former based on her overall record and the fact that Richard Hannon has two other entries besides Kalahaag, the best of which looks to be Humdrum. Of the rest Sir Michael Stoute’s filly Entitled, Hughie Morrison’s Bianca De Medici, Walter Swinburn’s Maid in Heaven and William Haggas’s Soorah all have legitimate claims to be involved at the death.

The Victoria Cup Handicap at 3.25 concludes the TV coverage from Ascot at and looks to be the usual impossible to solve puzzle. On my ratings I could well envisage a dozen or so spread across the track and going at it hammer and tongs in the last 100 yards. My rather long shortlist (in order of preference) for this enigma comprises: Perfect Silence; Bay Knight; Horseradish; Sunraider; Tropical Paradise; Space Station; Rulesn’regulations; Imperial Guest; Greensward; Lutine Bell; Primaeval; and Nasri. With 49 still in this at the 5 day stage 20 have to come out so remember to check carefully for non runners if you are attempting a go at this one. (It will almost certainly be the bonus race for last week’s lucky Scoop 6 winners which should tell you all you need to know about how difficult it will be to identify the winner.)

In the 2.10 at Lingfield, if Peter Winkworth’s Tropical Paradise ducks out of the Victoria Cup to come here, as seems likely from jockey engagements, she should have every chance of lifting this Group 3 prize. This progressive grey mare ended last season by lifting a couple of Group 3s and can continue onwards and upwards this year. Chief threat may come from Roger Charlton’s Folly Bridge who may be about to embark on a similarly upward climb herself. Also in with fair enough chances in a very interesting and informative contest are: Flambeau; Nimue; Dever Dream; Perfect Tribute; and Sonning Rose.

The Oaks Trial is run at 2.40 and the prize may well go home with Godolphin’s Rumh, who ran quite well in the Newmarket Tattersall’s Millions fillies event last October, finishing a close up 4 lengths 10th to Masaya, before breaking her duck by 6 lengths in a relatively lowly Wolverhampton AW maiden later that month.

To my mind she carries all the hallmarks of a late maturing type who could pay to follow this year and, with the Godolphin horses seemingly going well at present, I quite fancy her chances here. Of other fillies I reckon that Aidan O’Brien’s Amazing Beauty, Mick Channon’s unbeaten Zain Al Boldan, Ed Dunlop’s Palm Pilot, Richard Hannon’s Date With Destiny and John Gosden’s Field of Miracles may prove to be the most troublesome to the selection.

Finally, although not on TV the Derby Trial at 3.10 might be won by Aidan O’Brien’s Treasure Beach.

This looks to be a very open contest and others with major chances are: Slumber; Laughing Jack; Borug; Measuring Time; and Sadler’s Risk.

Selection summary: (In order of preference in case of non runners) Ascot: 2.20 Vita Nova; Alainmaar; Big Creek; Caucus; Taqleed; World Heritage; 2.50 Fontley; Kalahaag; Bianca De Medici; Entitled; Maid in Heaven; Soorah; 3.25 Perfect Silence; Bay Knight; Horseradish; Sunraider; Tropical Paradise; Space Station (for further choices in the event of non runners refer to the list in the text above which is in order of preference) Haydock Haydock: 2.00 The Cheka; Mont Agel; Folly Bridge; Kakatosi; Magic Cat 3.40 Jubail; Safari Journey; Eradicate; Barizan; Olympian; Red Merlin; Cockney Trucker; Orsippus Lingfield eld: 2.10 Tropical Paradise; Folly Bridge; Flambeau; Nimue; Dever Dream; Perfect Tribute 2.40 Rumh; Amazing Beauty; Field of Miracles; Date with Destiny; Zain Al Boldan; Palm Pilot 3.10 Treasure Beach; Slumber; Laughing Jack; Borug; Measuring Time; Sadler’s Risk

ROVERS SECURE SURVIVAL AGAINST FOXES MATCH REPORT www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

The Rovers made two changes from the team that drew at Barnsley on Easter Monday for the game against Leicester City this afternoon.

Neil Sullivan replaced the injured Gary Woods in goal and Mustapha Dumbuya was back from injury to replace Sam Hird. On the bench for the Rovers was youth team keeper Jonathan Maxted.

Although sunny there was a stiff, cool wind blowing across the pitch. In the Leicester City team was an old Rovers favourite Richie Wellens. The Rovers defended the South Stand end in the first half.

The visitors got the game underway and went on to the attack but nothing came of it. The Rovers then won a corner in the second minute but it was cleared.

Each side then spent the next ten minutes trying to find a weak spot. Then, in the 11th minute, Vassell cut in from the right and fed Gallagher on the left of the Rovers penalty area but his shot was wide of the far post. The Rovers then moved on to the attack but Gillett’s chip into the middle was too strong and went over the bar. Back to the other end and a melee developed in the Rovers area in front of goal, with attempted shots blocked by the Rovers defenders several times. A corner to the City came out of the Rovers defence to Abe but his 25yard effort was well over the bar. In the 20th minute a Rovers attack led to Coppinger feeding Mason but he put his effort high and wide from 20yards. King, for the visitors then got in a crack at goal from the right of the area but Sullivan saved. To the Leicester end where Mason gave to Coppinger, who put over from 25yards. The next ten minutes saw the visitors have the majority of the possession but a couple of corners and a free kick on the Leicester left well taken by Gallagher from 30yards brought a good save from Sullivan. In the 40th minute Oster put Mason in on the right to put in a low cross that went across the face of goal but nobody from either side could get on the end of it. The Rovers then won a corner that was cleared and a couple of minutes later, O’Connor cleared the ball down the Rovers left. Euell then forced Vitor to pass back to the Weale, the keeper, who let it pass him and was running to the goalline before he cleared with Euell closing in. Into added time and Hayter collected on the left, got to the byline where his cross was blocked but he won the ball back and crossed low into the middle but Euell couldn’t get to the ball.

Leicester were soon on the attack and caused a problem or two for the Rovers defence but they held out. The Rovers then got into the game and broke the deadlock in the 50th minute. A long clearance

by Sullivan was won by BROOKER just outside the Leicester penalty area. Controlling the ball he rifled

NEWCASTLE SNATCH VICTORY SPEEDWAY Sheffield Tigers

SHEFFIELD had to settle for a solitary league point from their Sunday evening trip to Tyneside.

The Tigers looked to be heading to their second Premier League away win in three days, only to suffer a late Newcastle fightback that saw the Geordie side snatch victory in a last heat decider.

Eric Boocock’s men jumped into a 30-18 lead after eight races, but inspired by a Scott Robson 18-point maximum the Diamonds came storming back in the latter stages.

Robson (tactical ride) and Claes Nedermark held off Shane Parker for an 8-1 in heat 9 and the Diamonds really made the Tigers start to sweat when they further reduced the deficit to just three-points (36-33) with a 4-2 in heat 10.

Josh Auty and Simon Lambert momentarily settled the nerves with a 4-2 in heat 12, but the meeting was turned on its head when the home duo of Kyle Newman and Kevin Doolan raced to an unexpected 5-1 over Ricky Ashworth and Shane Parker in heat 13.

The Tigers still led by a single point at this stage, but they soon found themselves trailing when Robson and a rejuvenated Newman raced to another fivepointer in the penultimate race.

Sheffield needed nothing less than five-points in the final race to claim the away victory, but it was not to be as Robson completed his full-house ahead of Auty, Doolan and Parker.

it into the top corner of the net past an astonished goalkeeper. Back came Leicester to win successive corners but they were well defended. On the hour, a cross from the visitors left was met by Kamara 8yards out but he blazed over the bar. A corner to the Rovers was laid back to O’Connor but his cross was too strong and went out for a goal kick. Yakubu then had a go from 20yards but Sullivan saved comfortably. In the 71st minute a good build-up on the Rovers right by Oster, Dumbuya and Coppinger brought three successive corners. Then calamity for the Rovers in the 76th minute when Leicester moved smoothly down their right with a series of passes that eventually reached YAKUBU on the edge of the Rovers penalty area. He simply rolled the ball wide of Sullivan into the bottom corner. Two minutes later and Brooker headed down to Mason, named Man of the Match, some 30yards out. He unleashed a thunderous drive that a surprised Weale could only palm over the bar. As time ran down both sides tried for a winner but the whistle went on a good competitive game that brought a point apiece. That point secured another season in the Championship for the Rovers.

BROOKER: IʼVE NOT SCORED MANY BETTER ROVER NEWS www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

Doncaster Rovers are safe and will now definitely be playing Championship football next season, thanks massively to the stunning strike that was netted by Steve Brooker in Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Leicester City at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Brooker’s volley from 30 yards out gave Rovers the lead against Sven-Goran Eriksson’s men and despite Yakubu’s equaliser for the visitors, a point was more than enough to guarantee Rovers second tier football next term following a superb performance from Sean O’Driscoll’s side.

However it will be Brooker making all of the headlines for his ‘big-impact’ strike which helped secure safety, after the forward replace Jason Euell after the half time break.

“I saw that Euelly (Jason Euell) was struggling at half time and I thought that I may have to come on,” Brooker told RoversPlayer.

“I was ready for that, but on a personal note I wanted to go off on a high. A lot of people said ‘this could be your day Brooks’. It was great to see it fly into the top and give us that cushion that we needed today.

I don’t think I’ve scored many better to be honest and with as much riding on the game, a few of the lads were saying that they didn’t feel the pressure, but it must have got to them.”

Rovers’ performance against Leicester City was made all the more impressive when analysing the visitors to the Keepmoat. The Foxes have dipped brazenly into the loan market to bring the likes of Yakubu, Diomansy Kamara and Darius Vassell to the club - however Rovers nullified their threat for the majority of the contest.

“We looked at their team a couple of days before and you see the names in their side thinking that we have to get a result against these. As the Gaffer says, it’s a performance that he was happy with and win, lose or draw; with a performance like that he’s happy and luckily we got what we needed.”

Rovers can now head into the final game of the season against Middlesbrough in a relaxed frame of mind - and every Rovers player (and supporter) is understandably delighted.

“With the relief comes happiness! It’s been in our hands for so many games and we’ve lacked the goals to give us that confidence to win games. In the end, we were running out of games to do it in; but luckily we have done it with a game left to go.”

MILLERS COME BACK FROM TWO DOWN TO GAIN A POINT MATCH REPORT www.themillers.co.uk

Rotherham United battled back from 2-0 down to claim a credible 2-2 draw away at Aldershot Town.

Adam Le Fondre netted a brace to cap an excellent individual display, and he could have had more as the Millers looked for a winner late on.

Andy Scott made three changes to the side that was beaten 1-0 by Gillingham on Monday. Liam Henderson, Mark Bradley and Le Fondre started in place of Marcus Marshall, Jamie Green and Ian Thomas-Moore. Marshall and Green dropped to the bench whilst Thomas-Moore missed the trip with a thigh injury, with Ryan Taylor and Nicky Law also missing the trip with injury.

The Millers got off to a dreadful start and found themselves 1-0 behind after just five minutes. A cross by Anthony Straker, after the Millers failed to fully clear a corner, found Anthony Charles at the near post and he smartly turned the ball past a helpless Jamie Annerson.

On 11 minutes it got worse for the Millers when Aldershot added a second. Nick Fenton attempted to guide a simple back pass to Annerson but left it well short of pace allowing Danny Hylton to round the Millers ‘keeper, before squaring the ball to Peter Vincenti who was left with a simple tap-in.

The Millers showed character to halt the home sides’ onslaught and gradually worked their way back into the game. On 27 minutes Le Fondre played Henderson in behind the Aldershot back four but with the angle favouring the ‘keeper, Jamie Young made a comfortable save.

Bradley was next to try his luck for the Millers when Le Fondre found him just inside the area but his first time shot was just wide of Young’s near post.

On 32 minutes the Millers persistence was rewarded with a well taken goal. Danny Harrison drilled a long ball into the channel which was chased by Le Fondre, and with the onrushing Young and the angle against him he superbly slid the ball into the net to get the Millers back into the game.

On the stroke of half time Annerson was called into action again to make a smart low save after a bullet header by Darren Jones.

The Millers started the second half where they left the first with Le Fondre in particular in inspired form. On 47 minutes he picked up possession on the edge of the area before unleashing a powerful drive which Young saved well low to his right.

Four minutes later Jason Taylor’s attempted cross from the right almost caught out Young who was forced to tip the dipping cross onto the bar. On 55 minutes the Millers persistence paid off with a well-taken equalising goal. A long clearance

by Annerson caught out the Shots back four and allowed Le Fondre to sprint clear before coolly lifting the ball over Young and into the net.

The Millers now looked the more likely to win the game and they went hunting for the all

GOLF TOURS

important third goal. On 72 minutes it was Le Fondre again causing problems when he was fed the ball by Bradley but his vicious strike from just inside the area flew just wide of the far post.

Both sides piled forward in the closing stages looking for a winner but the points were shared after an entertaining 90 minutes.

Aldershot: Young; Herd, Charles, Jones, Straker, Fortune (Sills 69), Gutteridge, Halls, McGlashan (Mekki 84), Hylton, Vincenti.

Subs not used: Harding, Morris, Connolly, Bergqvist, Jaimez-Ruiz.

SCOTT PLEASED WITH POINT GAFFERS REACTION www.themillers.co.uk

Following Rotherham United’s 2-2 draw at Aldershot, Andy Scott praised his side’s performance.

“That’s probably the closest we’ve come to a 90 minute performance since I took over, but unfortunately the first ten minutes was poor,” he said after two Adam Le Fondre goals put the Millers back on level terms after falling 2-0 behind inside the first 11 minutes.

“We didn’t start well enough.Their second goal came from a mistake, and that’s something you can’t legislate for, but after the first 15 minutes I thought we were strong.After we scored our first goal we looked like we might go on to win it, and we had some very good chances in the second half.”

Scott was full of praise for the Millers’ mental strength, after his side battled back from a two goal deficit to snatch a point at the EBB Stadium.

“I was a bit worried we might fold at 2-0 down, but we didn’t and I’m delighted with that.As a group we rallied; I didn’t go mad in the dressing room at half time because we were on top and it’s unfortunate that we couldn’t get a winner in the second half.”

Scott also praised Adam Le Fondre, who marked his return to the side with two goals to cap off an excellent performance for the Millers’ top scorer: “I thought he was outstanding.I had a chat with him this morning and we discussed what I wanted from him, and I think he was fantastic today.He worked his socks off, and so did Popey.”

RELEGATION CONFIRMED MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk

United’s relegation to League One was confirmed, despite another battling display at Bramall Lane.

Ultimately, goals from Matt Lowton and Lee Williamson proved immaterial as a late header from Danny Haynes and results elsewhere ensured that United will play in the third tier of English football for the first time since the 1988-89 campaign.

Teenager Maguire, available again after suspension, started as boss Adams made just one change for the derby encounter. He took the place of Collins, who dropped to the bench. United were also boosted by the return, after injury, of Evans, Cresswell and McAllister, all of whom were named as substitutes. Barnsley’s starting XI included two ex Blades -Gray and Mellis, the latter being a former Academy player.

The formation was 4-4-2 with Maguire slotting alongside Lowry in central defence. The full-backs were again Lowton and Mattock, whilst the midfield, from right to left, was Riise, Williamson, Montgomery and Quinn, with Henderson and Slew continuing with their blossoming partnership in attack.

Both sides won two corners in a frantic opening five minutes. Williamson and Quinn had shots for the Blades but the visitors would have felt that they should have been ahead on six minutes when Mellis burst through the defence to latch on to a Gray header but the subsequent shot, from 10 yards, flew into the Kop. Maguire fired over but he was involved defensively as Barnsley grabbed the lead on 15 minutes.

Trippier’s forward ball was nothing more than a block from a Blades attack but it fell invitingly for HAYNES and after Maguire’s slip, the striker was free to progress to the penalty area before sliding under the body of Simonsen.

Quinn, Henderson and Riise all had efforts blocked in a melee from a long throw but the better efforts were falling to the visitors.

A header from Gray was straight at Simonsen and Maguire was forced to clear the danger as Gray and Haynes looked to capitalise on communication problems in United’s defence.

As half-time approached the Blades saw more of the ball and began to cause the Tykes problems. Hassell was booked for hauling down Slew and from the resulting free-kick, Williamson’s near post delivery saw LOWTON beat team-mate Henderson to nod past Steele.

Like the previous week, the leveller gave United renewed heart and the home side bossed the

Match Reports, Reactions, News, Fans Column - All Articles copyright of www.sufc.co.uk

remaining minutes until the break.

Henderson looked to pass to Slew when a shot was an option and then Williamson’s powerful strike hit Doyle.

Looking for a second, Lowton danced inside from the right and linked with Slew before firing over, whilst the final action before the break, in injury-time, saw Butterfield booked for a rash challenge on Williamson.

The first chance of the second half saw Mellis fire over before the Blades went back on the attack.

Lowton and Mattock both had efforts blocked and Henderson headed wide after a Lowton cross.

United were in front, however, before the hour mark. Lowton’s long throw was only cleared to the edge of the box where WILLIAMSON drilled back a low shot, which squirmed under the body of goalkeeper Steele, who was possibly hindered by the sun.

The Kop, behind the goalkeeper, though, were unsympathetic.

The home side’s calls for a penalty went unanswered when Slew’s shot was impeded by Shackell, whilst Barnsley were awarded a free-kick when it appeared that Gray was fouling Maguire!

Adams made a double change, throwing on Evans and McAllister, whilst Montgomery was cautioned for a late challenge on Hill. With boosting the goal difference column a priority, United continued to attack but the decision backfired.

After Lowry and Williamson had upended Butterfield, Tripper’s free-kick, which was heading for the top corner, was fantastically pushed over the crossbar by Simonsen, but with their next move, Barnsley levelled. From Hill’s cross, HAYNES attacked the ball and headed beyond Simonsen.

The goal deflated three sides of Bramall Lane but the players continued to push forward and Adams used his last change, bringing on striker Cresswell for defender Mattock. But United were to finish the game with ten men as Evans was stretchered off.

Five added minutes were indicated by the officials. McAllister’s shot was deflected away and it proved to be the final notable chance. Despite the inevitable relegation being confirmed, the Kop continued to sing and offer their tremendous support, whilst the majority of Unitedites stayed after the final whistle to applaud the players.

Blades: Simonsen, Montgomery, Henderson, Williamson, Mattock (Cresswell 90), Lowry, Quinn, Lowton, Slew (Evans 71), Riise (McAllister 71), Maguire.

Unused: M. Doyle, Aksalu, Kozluk, Collins.

Barnsley: Steele, Hassell (Clark 78), Shackell, N. Doyle, Foster, Haynes, Trippier, Mellis (NobleLazarus 53), Butterfield, Gray, Hill.

Unused: McEveley, O’Brien, Preece, Arismendi, Rose.

QUINN DEVASTATED BY RELEGATION BLADES NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

Stephen Quinn declared himself devastated and gutted after United’s relegation to League One was confirmed at Bramall Lane on Saturday.

Quinn cut a disconsolate figure when speaking after the draw with Barnsley, but was quick to acknowledge the fans who stuck with the players until the end.

The Dubliner, who was awarded with the Supporters’ Club Player of the Year award before the game, said: “As you would expect, everyone is devastated and there wasn’t much being said in the dressing room. It is a disappointing day for everyone associated with the club especially when you think how we were progressing a couple of years ago when we were knocking on the door of the Premiership.

“There is no point in pointing the finger at people at the minute, but we will have to sit down and assess the season and look at how it all went wrong.”

On the game itself and the supporters, Quinn added: “We wanted to win the game for the fans who stood by us right until the end and even afterwards they were brilliant and applauded us off the field - which was awesome and credit to them.

“It is sure to hurt them and it hurts me, I have been at this club for eight years and I am absolutely gutted and speechless.

“The fighting spirit has been there all season but we have kept conceding sloppy goals and that was the case against Barnsley. Credit to the lads, though, for their effort over the last few weeks, but effectively it was too little, too late.”

BLAME GAME BLADES MAD

by Paul Holland

Relegation has finally turned its ugly head towards Sheffield United and following a 2-2 draw with Barnsley conformation was finally made that they would play League One football next season when it looked they may be given a late chance – all be it a slim one to crawl out of the bottom three.

Fans, players and the board will ask questions on why and how it all went wrong and no doubt there will be fingers pointed at every direction and everyone will have their opinion on this matter; I have mine but I won’t bore you with it as there are that many reasons and theory’s there just aren’t enough column inches to explain.

What does need to be done though is to form unity and discover who is up for the fight next season and who wants to bail out at the first opportunity; I’m sure we all know which players are which...

Life in League One won’t be easy, only a handful of teams have bounced back at first attempt so I wouldn’t expect us to rise from the ashes and run away with the league – though it would be nice.

In Mr. Adams I am sure that we will continue to play full flowing, passing football which has been attractive but lacked argyle in attack – that is something which needs to be resolved, also the defence was weak and needs to be addressed.

We’ll be back in the Championship, just you wait and see!

AND THAT WAS ADAMʼS DISTRAUGHT THAT...

GAFFERS REACTION www.sufc.co.uk

A distraught Micky Adams acknowledged two major factors for the Club to feel positive about despite the immediate pain of relegation.

Hopes of a miracle survival were dashed by the results at three grounds and the United boss’s first thoughts reflected those of every Blades in the ground: MA: “I am obviously devastated that such a fantastic club has been relegated and there are a lot of disappointed people in the dressing room.

“We have played well in certain games since I have been here but we have not taken advantage of that at times. We haven’t scored enough goals, conceded sloppy goals and not won enough games so we have to accept that over 46 games we have not been good enough.

“No club has a divine right to be in any division, you have to work hard to stay in them or get out at the right end, and a lot of us have to take collective responsibility, possibly me more than most.”

Winning the previous two fixtures had given hope of an escape as the team seemed to find its feet, but in the end it had come too late: “Recently we had a more settled side with a lot of injured players coming back or being free from suspension and things looked better.

“There has been a shift in attitude and the way the players went about their business, and they seemed happier doing it. When we have put out our best side we have been able to compete with some good sides at this level.

MA: “We couldn’t make it three wins in a row and not stitching results together has been our downfall all season.”

Through the dying moments of the game, and particularly after the final whistle, the Lane faithful gave a remarkable show of solidarity and support for the club as the whole squad and staff stayed on the pitch: “I have told the players not to make excuses but to take their share of responsibility - and to remember that ovation because at very few clubs would you get such a fantastic reception after being relegated.

“We wanted to end on a high at the Lane and our fans were magnificent.

The players have been told that those that remain should take that on board and be determined to pay them back next season.

“Our fans are very passionate and they will be back next season supporting their team in League One. This is the lowest point of my career but I really want to take charge of the Club next season and in a year’s time be celebrating a return to the Championship.

“I know how disappointed the fans are feeling because I have stood on the terraces and know what it is about. My message to them would be to keep the faith and have trust in the people running the club because we will get it right.

“It is hard to take for us all tonight but sometimes you have to take a step backwards in order to go forwards.”

After showing his appreciation for the supporters Adams declared his other reason for optimism: “We have blooded some of our promising youngsters and more of them still have the FA Youth Cup Final to look forward to. There is talent at this football club and, along with the support, there are brighter times ahead for Sheffield United.” ** Ched Evans was taken to the Northern General Hospital after being stretchered off with an ankle injury shortly after his appearance as a substitute.

FANS WEEKLY COLUMN

by Jon Warburton

Walking away from Bramall Lane on Saturday, there were many people attempting to pin point what has gone wrong with our club and how we have been allowed to drop to the third tier of English football for the first time since 1989.

I think that a realisation has started to set in amongst many that we are just not the same outfit that we have been in recent years.

Consistent top half finishes in the Championship, as well as a brief flirtation with the Premier League had quite rightly had Blades’ fans expecting a certain level from the club.

But since our relegation from the English top flight and subsequent demise the outlook of our club has changed.

I steadfastly refuse to point fingers because very rarely as fans are we privy to the whole facts.

What is clear to see however is that the ‘re-profiling’ of our squad has not been successful with a lot less quality coming in to the club than we have seen leave it.

Regardless of that the fans have stuck with the team by and large.

Despite Mickey Adams poor record as Sheffield United manager, the majority have been prepared to exercise patience considering the turbulent season we have had.

The reaction after the game on Saturday was testament to that.

The players certainly looked hesitant as they approached the Kop after the full time whistle had gone, but were greeted with a quite touching response from the Bramall Lane faithful.

They didn’t necessarily deserve it all that much but supporting Sheffield United isn’t just about supporting the players. It is about turning up week in, week out because you can’t begin to imagine not doing.

I was asked yesterday whether I would still be going next season…

Of course I will and I already can’t wait!

EVANS UPDATE BLADES NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

Leading scorer Ched Evans has not fractured his ankle.

Initial fears of a break on Saturday when he was carried off against Barnsley were eased after x-rays at a Sheffield hospital and Micky Adams said today: “It is not as bad as first thought and although there is ankle ligament damage he will be ready to start pre-season on time.”

MEGSON ON PIRATES POINT

SWFC NEWS www.swfc.co.uk

Gary Megson described the Owls’ performance at Bristol Rovers on Saturday as ‘typically end of season’.

Wednesday emerged from the Memorial Stadium with a 1-1 draw from their final away game of the campaign after a penalty apiece saw the points shared.

While Rovers were all but consigned to the bottom tier, the Owls edged further towards a mid-table finish and Megson said: “It was typically end of season from our perspective. The team that got that draw today played nowhere near as it has in the last six weeks but that happens in football at this stage of the season.

“It was very hot out there but I don’t want to make any excuses because I just didn’t think we played very well.”

Megson had no argument with Rovers’ equalising penalty and agreed with the referee’s decision to award the Owls an earlier spot-kick.

He said: “For their penalty, I thought we put a leg in there when their player was going nowhere.

“For ours, Gary Madine went down when he had two lots of studs bearing down on him, so what is he supposed to do?”

Off the field, the Wednesday manager confirmed he has handed a wish list of six players to owner Milan Mandaric and vice chairman Paul Aldridge for the summer transfer window in mind.

He added: “I have had a meeting with Milan and Paul and I gave them the list of six players I would like to bring in the summer.

“They are all British and have the kind of character to help us get to where we want to be.”

OWLS WITHDRAW RESERVE TEAM

SWFC NEWS www.swfc.co.uk Sheffield Wednesday can confirm that the club will not be entering a reserve team into competitive action next season.

Instead, the Owls will host a series of behind closed doors games as and when necessary as the appetite for second string football continues to lessen.

Manager Gary Megson said: “I believe there will be no reserve team football in three years’ time. I know of at least three Premiership teams who will not have a reserve team next season.

“As far as Sheffield Wednesday are concerned, our reserve games have become glorified youth games with too much emphasis on the young players who need to focus on their own development.

“We will arrange games next season at our convenience behind closed doors, using our own referees and playing three half-hours if we choose and at a kick-off time that we choose.

This season has been a huge turnaround for the Owls after Premier League relegation last year, but under new manager Adam Smallman, the ladies have reached the last 16 of the National FA Women’s Cup and are in with a shout of a quick return to the top flight.

The Owls will meet the Midland Combination runnersup (Sporting Club Albion or Rotherham United) at a neutral venue on 8 May for the right to play the ninth-placed side from the Northern Division on 15 May. Keep up to date with the women’s side on swwfc.net or on twitter @SWWFC.
