DEVOLUTION COMMUNITY POLL SET TO GO AHEAD Local people are being asked for their views on the right deal on devolution for Doncaster.

A community poll will be held this month. It will ask every voter in Doncaster to say which devolution proposal they would prefer Doncaster to pursue. The choices are wider Yorkshire or Sheffield City Region devolution.

Deputy Mayor, Councillor Glyn Jones, said: “The purpose of this poll is to get a clear view from local people. We want to

know if Doncaster people would prefer a devolution deal with a wider Yorkshire agreement or the Sheffield City region.

Whichever devolution deal is chosen will have a huge impact on Doncaster’s future so we feel it is vitally important to get a complete view of the community in going forward.

“Now is the time for people to have their voice heard and help shape Doncaster’s future devolution path. This is a big question and we want to hear as many

voices a possible. The poll will be made as easy as possible to participate in – either online or via post. I hope Doncaster people will take the time to help determine our borough’s devolution direction which will affect generations to come.”

A recent business poll by the Doncaster Chamber of Commerce resulted in 70 per cent of those who responded saying they would prefer a county wide devolution deal. Other supporters of a wider Yorkshire deal include

REGIONAL EDITION

the CBI, Institute of Directors, the TUC and Doncaster’s three MPs. Barnsley Council is also holding their own Community Poll and will be asking their residents which devolution agreement they would prefer to be part of.

This poll was unanimously agreed

by Doncaster’s Full Council in November.

The poll results are not legally binding, but the council will do its best to respect the outcome and make sure that the devolution deal that Doncaster votes for is

achieved.

Every voter in Doncaster will receive a voting pack in the first week of December. The pack will give information about both options.

People can vote online or by post.

Polls will close on 20 December. Results will be announced on 21 December.

All information about the Community Poll and how to vote is available online at www.doncaster.gov.uk/ devolution along with a series of questions and answers.

CARVER STREET PEDESTRIANISED FOR SHEFFIELD’S LATE NIGHT REVELLERS From last weekend one of Sheffield’s main streets for late night revellers, Carver Street, will be closed to vehicles at night over the festive period, to help partygoers stay safe.

Carver Street is wellknown for some of the most popular clubs and bars in the city and tens of thousands of people are expected to visit the area on the run up to Christmas.

Sheffield City Council and South Yorkshire Police have agreed to close the street to vehicles on a trial basis, from midnight

until 5am every Friday and Saturday, from 1 to 23 December, plus Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Councillor Jack Scott, Cabinet Member for Transport and Sustainability at Sheffield City Council, said: “With a huge selection of bars and restaurants, Sheffield city centre is a popular destination for nights out and I want to make sure it is welcoming and safe for those who are out and about and having a great time.

“We also know that the risk increases when

people have been drinking, especially throughout the festive period. Local businesses have made us aware of a number of near misses between people visiting bars on Carver Street and the vehicles driving through, so I’m introducing this trial to make sure everyone can stay safe and have fun.”

Richard Eyre, Head of City Centre Management, said “As a hub for our night time offer, the closure of Carver Street to vehicles will make it much safer and inviting.

We will be monitoring the closure with the

Police and Highways and, if successful, we may make this a permanent closure in the future”.

The trial is backed by local businesses and Sheffield BID. The road will close at its Junction with West Street

and Division Street every Friday and Saturday from the 1 December until 23 December, plus Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve between midnight and 5am. Full diversions will be in place for vehicles.

TIME TO GET YOUR SCHOOL APPLICATIONS IN Council leaders are urging families to apply for their child’s primary school before the closing date of 15 January and use all three preferences.

Parents will find out the outcome of their primary school application on 16 April 2018.

Parents are encouraged to make sure they fill in all three preferences in order to keep their options open. Parents can express up to three preferences but some parents choose not to. Putting down three preferences does not reduce the chance of parents getting their preferred option, but does provide alternatives if the preferred school is oversubscribed.

Families are also encouraged to name their catchment school as places cannot be reserved for catchment pupils where a positive preference for this school has not been expressed.

Sheffield City Council’s admissions team

deals with thousands of applications for secondary and primary schools every year.

This year is the first year parents can apply to the city’s new school; Astrea Academy on the Old Pye Bank site, in the North East of the city. Astrea Academy will provide places for children and young people aged two-19.

A new secondary school Mercia Academy, on the Bannerdale site, in the South West will also open in September 2018.

Councillor Jackie Drayton, Sheffield City Council’s Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families said: “All families deserve great schools close to where they live. With birth rates rising we are seeing an increase in pressure on school places. This is why we are building two new schools, Astrea in the North East and Mercia in the South West of the city, and planned for additional primary school places at Ecclesall Infants and Totley Primary school.

“I would encourage all parents and carers to fill in their application form for a school place as soon as possible and most importantly please fill in all three preferences. “ If families need help with the form they should contact 0114 273 5790 or email ed-admissions@sheffield.gov.uk

PARTYGOERS URGED TO BE SAFE ON S. YORKS ROAD It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership (SYSRP) would like it to

remain so for revellers in the county’s town and city centres. With that in mind, it has commissioned a series of posters and social media messages aimed at young adult partygoers to stay safe when walking home or to the taxi rank.

Pedestrians who have been out on the town are urged to look out for their friends, and to do everything they can to help them get home safely when they’re ready to call it a night.

The campaign also reminds people to ‘dance in the club, not on the road’ and warns

that ‘hangovers are a lot worse when you’ve been hit by a car!’

Pubs, clubs and bars across South Yorkshire have been sent posters carrying the ‘be safe on the road’ message to display in their washrooms.

The poster campaign is being supplemented by a social media campaign using animated gifs and memes with key messages under the hashtag #WalkSafeSYorks The campaign runs until Christmas Eve and can be found on Twitter @SY_ Pedestrian

The X Factor’s super six semi-final acts will star in The X Factor Live Tour 2018! A seventh wildcard act will then be decided via an online vote from all the acts to feature in this year’s live shows.

The top six artists confirmed tonight to go on the tour are: Rak-Su, Grace Davies, Kevin Davy White, Lloyd Macey, The Cutkelvins and Matt Linnen.

Rak-Su are the first ever X Factor act to have had two No.1 singles on iTunes whilst being on the show, riding high in the charts with Dimelo and Mona Lisa, which also won them the weekend vote in Week 4.

Grace Davies won the Prize Fight in Week 1 with her stunning and emotional performance of her original song, Too Young. The track also became the first song of this series to top the UK iTunes chart.

Kevin Davy White won the weekend vote in Week 2 with his incredible vocal and electric guitar for his rendition of Santana’s Smooth.

Lloyd Macey topped the weekend vote in Week 3 with his moving rendition of George Michael’s A Different Corner. As a result, he won the right to open for chart-topping superstars Little Mix on their arena tour in Manchester.

Also joining the line-up are The Cutkelvins, who’s electrifying original song Saved Me From Myself was one of the stand out performances across Week 4, as well as Matt Linnen, who has been impressing the judges and audience with his raw and original takes on hits, including Alicia Key’s Falling.

In addition, one other act from this series’ live shows will join the line-up. They will be chosen as a wildcard by the British public, via a vote on The Sun Online. The most popular act will receive that all-important seventh and final spot on The X Factor Live Tour 2018.

The X Factor digital host, Becca Dudley, will be on the road with the contestants and presenting the tour competition each night. And at the end of each show, the audience will then become the judges – and choose the winner!

The Live Tour will return to Sheffield for the 16th time when it stops off at the FlyDSA Arena on Friday 2nd March 2018.

SHEFFIELD SKI VILLAGE TO BECOME WORLD CLASS EXTREME SPORTS DESTINATION

The North’s largest entertainment weekly, telephone our sales team to get your advert on these pages 0114 276 3633 opt.1

Sheffield ski village and the surrounding area is a step closer to making a ramped up return to the city as part of a world-class sports, leisure and entertainment development bringing hundreds of jobs to the city.

Sheffield Council has appointed the EXTREME Destinations-led consortium to deliver a 48-acre long-term sustainable EXTREME branded sports, leisure and entertainment solution at Parkwood, Sheffield’s country park in the city, following a competitive bidding process.

An initial 100 new full-time jobs are expected to

result from the £22.5million development, which should see the re-instatement of Sheffield’s muchloved ski slopes and MTB tracks in phase one of the project.

The agreement between Sheffield City Council and EXTREME Destinations, in partnership with leading UK facilities operator Continuum Attractions, will see the development, provision and operation of a world-class sports and leisure ‘experience’ complex with exciting and modern facilities for residents, tourists and action sports enthusiasts alike in the heart of Sheffield city.

EXTREME’s unique brand and destination experience will incorporate a combination of action and adventure sports facilities, including the possibility of an indoor sky diving facility, live music, E-Gaming and virtual-reality hub as well as a restaurants, bars, social spaces, retail and themed accommodation.

Established in 1995, EXTREME is a global sports and lifestyle brand. From launching the ground breaking Extreme Sports TV channel in 68 countries to more recently, offering marketing services and branded global sports and leisure property development.

EXTREME’s brand reach will be harnessed to broaden Sheffield’ visitor base via Extremes Media Network, its 128 global sports and lifestyle ambassadors such as snowboarder Jamie Nicholls and skier Rowan Cheshire, and its presence at more than 80 events annually. These create a monthly reach in excess of 100 million people globally. All of which will continue to drive visitors and reinforce Sheffield’s reputation as The Outdoor City.

Continuum Attractions, the UK-wide operations company primarily positioned in the visitor experience industry, will be instrumental in the consortium group, with input into the planning and then operating the facilities developed under the globally renowned EXTREME brand.

Councillor Mazher Iqbal, cabinet member for

business and investment at Sheffield City Council, said: “Bringing Sheffield ski village and the surrounding area back into use as part of a truly global package of sports facilities, hotels and other leisure pursuits is a fantastic outcome for the team at Sheffield Council that has worked to secure a preferred developer with EXTREME’s experience in delivering leisure based schemed for many years.

“There’s still plenty of work to do but by appointing our preferred developer we are one step closer to bringing the much loved ski village back into use.

“This news will come as an early Christmas present to the thousands of winter sports enthusiasts who trained on the slopes at the ski village, many of whom who are associated with EXTREME as ambassadors for its sporting ambitions.

“An initial study in 2015 showed us the great potential for this type of attraction at Parkwood Springs, and the hard work by the Friends of Parkwood Springs and the Friends of Wardsend Cemetery to make the wider area a place to be proud of, is beginning to pay off.”

Alistair Gosling, CEO of EXTREME said: “This is a fantastic and unique opportunity to deliver an EXTREME Destination right in the heart of Sheffield and bring the much-missed ski facility bang up to date. We will be tapping into the worldwide phenomena of creating total active leisure destinations, where all the excitement of sport and leisure facilities come together – sports activities, accommodation, eating, drinking, shopping – in a totally immersive destination.”

“Continuum is delighted to be partnering with EXTREME on this exciting new direction for the Continuum group,” said Juliana Delaney, CEO of Continuum.

EXTREME’s aim is to start work on a new and improved ski village to open in 2019 before concentrating on its plans to develop residential and leisure facilities around and on the site, subject to planning

Communication is going to take a little care and there could be a tendency to blurt out something without necessarily considering the consequences.

Equally, something may need saying in a rather more straightforward way. Your career situation can also concentrate your thinking. Call for more…

There’s a lot of electricity in the air which could see you and others bouncing ideas off one another and the brighter and more unusual these are, the more you can actually be inspired by them. Meanwhile, plans for Christmas will likely require some further discussion in the family. Call for more…

The impulse to go a little bit beyond your normal budget can be quite strong this week for you, and particularly as there can be part of you that almost feels compelled to step beyond the boundaries that you set yourself in the past. Even so, do keep one foot on terra-firma Taurus.

The stars sparkle brilliantly this week to enable you to strut your stuff in the most Aquarius of ways, which will see you regale people with your quirky sense of fun.

HEALTH WALKS

HOW TO PRESERVE YOUR MEMORIES & TREASURES

Do you walk more than the average Brit, or are you not quite there?

If you’re struggling to walk as much as you’d like, our short group walks are an easy, sociable way to get your steps up and feel great Getting active can be difficult. But we’re here to help.

We are England’s largest network of health walk schemes, helping people across the country lead a more active lifestyle. Our group walks are led by friendly, specially trained volunteers who are on hand to provide encouragement and support, and make sure no one gets left behind. Our walks are short and over easy terrain, and are open to everyone but are especially aimed at those who are least active.

If you have problems with your health, or if you’ve had them in the past, it can be hard to stay active.

Walking could make all the difference. It’s a low impact exercise, so it’s easy for you to get involved - even if you’re not feeling your best. In fact, walking could help you feel great again!

Joining one of our walks with a trained walk leader could help you feel more confident about taking those first steps to a more active lifestyle.

Protecting and preserving precious photographs and family heirlooms means they can be passed on for the next generation to enjoy.

One of the simplest ways to look back and celebrate your life is by remembering through photographs, videos and other special mementos. Here are a couple of tips for preserving and enjoying your most cherished possessions.

Go digital If you have old photographs or home videos that you want to preserve for years to come, making a digital copy is a great way to make it accessible to others.

You can upload photographs to your computer using a home scanner. This is also useful for delicate documents like birth certificates and marriage records – particularly if you’re holding on to records that are already five centuries old.

You may have slides or home movies in a format that makes them difficult to watch.

There are many professional services that can carefully convert slides and film into formats like VHS and DVD. Contact your local photography shop or look for specialists like Snappy Snaps who can handle the process.

Consider the display Many of us love to put old photographs and other heirlooms like quilts or paintings on display at home. This is a great way to enjoy your precious belongings, but not always a great way Calling All Carol Singers! to protect them.

CAN YOU HELP?

Are you sending letters and parcels abroad in the next few weeks and want to save money?

Sending Christmas presents abroad can be expensive but savings can be made by discussing with your local post office. For example; it is often cheaper to send two small parcels rather than one large parcel as weight is a big factor in post office pricing. You can save as much as £70.00 by sending two parcels instead of one parcel.

QUEEN RETURN TO ROCK THE ARENA

Queen + Adam Lambert return to Europe for a series of 24 dates including a sell-out show at the FlyDSA Arena on Friday 8th December 2017. The tour will showcase a spectacular new stage production and a set list, which the band hints will provide some surprises.

These shows will mark the band’s first full British tour in almost three years, having last performed across the UK in January 2015 when they played 10 sold out shows. Their only UK appearance in 2016 was a one-off headlining set at the closing night of the Isle of Wight Festival on Sunday June 12, part of a 15-date European summer festival tour. Isle of Wight festival organizer John Giddings credited the band with “the greatest show we have ever had”.

For their 2017 tour, the band will unveil a brand new show including a specially designed state-of-the-art production. The choice of performance material will no doubt acknowledge this year’s 40th anniversary of Queen’s biggest-selling studio album to date, News of the World from 1977, which yielded the

immortal anthems “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions”.

Guitarist Brian May confirms Queen’s 2017 shows will have a more ambitious musical agenda.

“The general public knows the hits, so you’ve got to cater for that,” he says, “but we can chuck in a few things that people really don’t expect. We’ll do quite a bit more of that this time around.

There are so many dimensions to Adam, which of course fits with our music. He can get down and do the rock stuff really dirty, and you have all those dimensions, and we can explore that even more.”

Adam Lambert welcomes the challenge of digging deeper into the band’s canon of classics.

“What people should know if they came to the shows a couple of years back, is obviously we will still be playing the big hit songs you know and love from Queen, but we thought it would be good to challenge ourselves a bit,” he explains. “Change it up a little bit, change the visuals, change all the technology, change the set list to some degree. We will probably be pulling some other songs out of the Queen catalogue which we haven’t done before, which I am very excited about.”

Tickets for the FlyDSA Arena show on Friday 8th December 2017 are priced £88.48 & £77.28 from www.flydsaarena.co.uk & 0114 256 56 56.

THE CAT CLUB FALLS INTO EDWARD’S

September. Both chaps had books to plug too, which again they discussed at length.

We then had the classic album played in its entirety, on vinyl, with total silence for the whole duration. This is the main purpose of The Cat Club and I have to say it’s something I don’t think I’ve ever done as normally something distracts, be it people or just life itself and I did find the experience a pleasant one.

SINGER KATE RUSBY SOARS TO NEW HEIGHTS TO HELP MEADOWHALL CHARITY Acclaimed folk singer Kate Rusby has teamed up with Meadowhall Centre to launch a charity single this Christmas helping to raise funds for Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice.

Kate, also known as The Barnsley Nightingale after her home town, has been a full time professional singer for 25 years. She writes

and performs her own music and one of her favourite Christmas songs “Home” was chosen by Meadowhall to be part of its Christmas TV advert which first aired on November 6.

The public response to Kate’s soulful vocals on the ad has been so strong that Meadowhall approached Kate to see if she would be interested in releasing it as a limited-

edition Christmas single with all proceeds going to the Centre’s charity of the year – Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice.

The single will be available to buy at Meadowhall customer service desks priced £3, featuring “Home” as well as a brand new song “Big Brave Bill Saves Christmas”.

Meadowhall Marketing Director, Richard Pinfold,

said: “Kate has a beautiful voice and regularly plays to sell-out crowds around the country. Her vocals on our advert really resonated with viewers and as soon as it aired we started to get requests asking who the song was by. We decided to ask Kate if she would continue to work with us a little longer, so we could use the song as a one-off single to help Meadowhall’s chosen charity Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice.”

Kate, who agreed to take part immediately, added: “This is the first time one of my songs has featured in an advert and I’m just blown away by all the positive comments. I’m delighted my music is reaching new audiences and but also helping to raise funds for a great cause at the same time.”

Helen Mower, Head of Fundraising at Bluebell Wood said: “We are really excited about the CD and

getting to meet Kate in person to say thank you.

“Home” is a beautiful song and really poignant for this time of year when we are all starting to think about being with our families and friends. Bluebell Wood is a home from home for our families, so we’d like to thank Kate and everyone at Meadowhall for helping us make this Christmas so special.”

Kate recently released her brand-new Christmas album Angels and Men on November 24th. The award-winning singer is about to embark on a nationwide tour in December with selected dates also listed in 2018.

To find out more go to www.katerusby.com.

Anyone wishing to order or buy a copy of the CD can find out more by going to www. meadowhall.co.uk/ katerusby. Or they can visit www.bluebellwood. org/shop

ANGLER’S CORNER

with Clint Walker

So, you fancy doing an angling show do you? A weekend of fishing and fun?

Think again… I’ve been to plenty of the popular angling shows in the past, albeit from a consumer viewpoint, and have often thought that it would be great fun to spend all weekend, talking about fishing to likeminded brethren, and seeing the latest innovations and new products, whilst enjoying some bonhomie amongst friends. It must be a doddle right? It isn’t.

It’s hard work, and now I know…

I was asked some time ago if I would be prepared to help out on the RAD Angling stand, and was given the option to do all weekend, or just one of the days. As it gave me an opportunity to meet up with an old Navy shipmate I haven’t seen for twenty three years, I said I’d do the whole weekend, so drove down to The Carp Society Winter Show at Sandown racecourse on Friday afternoon. I’m a northerner, and according to legend, the M25 is something on which cars park, for extended periods, for no apparent reason, whilst drivers shout obscenities at each other, so I wasn’t looking forward to the long journey, which would unfortunately encompass part of the nefarious roadway…

Four hours later, I arrived, flustered and tired at the hotel, a chain station near a large theme park, and pulled into the car park. I called the team, and was prompted to visit the show hall to get an idea of what was expected for the following two days, have a look at stock, and new products, so I could give a fairly competent demonstration to interested customers. After that, we all retired to the hotel again, booked in, dumped bags, and went for a drink in the bar to ‘team build’ and discuss the forthcoming show. After an hour, I made my excuses, returned to my (shared) room, and did a couple of hours writing utilising a very poor WiFi connection, in an effort to maintain imminent deadlines…which wait for no man!

After a quick shower, I drove another fifteen miles (again on the M25!) to Redhill to meet my matelot chum, had a couple of drinks, a nice meal in a friendly (yet frighteningly expensive for a northerner!) pub, before

driving back again to grab some sleep ready for the morrow; I didn’t sleep well, woken by my room mate who couldn’t find the right light switch, and again by his nighty bimble to the toilet… not the best of starts to a busy weekend! Awake at 0600 (old habits die hard) morning ablutions and breakfast complete, we decamped for the show an hour before the doors opened…

As we waited for the public to be admitted, last minute checks ensured everything was ‘squared away’ ready for the imagined onslaught, and we quickly slurped tea to lubricate the throat in preparation. The first punters eventually appeared, circling the stand like nervous cats, craning their necks to see what was on offer… “Alright mate? Fancy a look at our kit?” That was it, the ice was broken, and for the next four hours, I was constantly talking to customers who took a genuine interest in our wares.

Without a break for lunch, but fuelled on snatched sugar rushes of chocolate snacks and more tea, the team dealt with sales and enquires all morning. And then at 1400, it stopped… just like that. Everyone seemed to disappear aside from one or two souls who took no interest in either the Saturday afternoon rugby, football or cricket, and remained to have a slow wander around.

In truth, it became a little dull, waiting for the prescribed show closure, so we resorted to having a wander, enjoying a couple of hours ourselves to catch up with friends on other stands, and generally check out the opposition…

Show over on day one, and it was back to the hotel. My calves were killing me, cramp had set in after being on my feet all day, my mouth was dry, and my throat sore, but it had been fun, and I had certainly enjoyed it. Initial estimates for cold hard cash (after all, that’s what it’s about) were reasonable, costs were covered, and feedback had been good, so we all met in the restaurant for an evening meal. The banter flowed, as did the beer, and we had a laugh until it was time to go to bed; sensibly, (boringly) I’d stuck to non-alcoholic drinks, so was hopeful of a good night’s rest. At 0200 however, the sugar kicked in, and I laid, staring at the ceiling, listening to the snores of my compatriot, for the next two hours…

Day two, and we were all in good spirits as we met for a hurried breakfast, checked

out, then returned to the fray. Again, an hour early ‘just in case’ we checked everything once more, topped up the sweetie hamper, flashed up the looped video, and stood by.

It was Sunday, and the queue to get in was impressive, so we waited in anticipation of a much busier day… We were proved right, and it was mayhem from 0900 with the stand thronged with keen consumers.

Once more, the talking never stopped, with customers keen to strike a deal, buy products, and just make enquires, and again it was great fun, with some proper ‘characters’ engaged in conversation, and a flood of sales made. By the end of a much busier day, we’d taken three times the previous day’s total, and were all in good spirits as the day wound down. Thankfully, the RAD Angling stand is a supreme piece of engineering, a trailer converted for show purposes, but cunningly designed to pack up and down in less than thirty minutes!

I’d spoken to many others who had four

or five hours of graft to look forward too before they could depart as they took apart their stand; for us, we packed up in a record breaking fifteen minutes, were through the doors and hooked to the towing vehicle in less than twenty, and were on the way home in less than half an hour! Brilliant!

Sadly, the M25 was busy, and I spent at least an hour crawling around it in frustrated company. The M1 wasn’t much better, with variable speed limits enforced until Milton Keynes, then near home, I became stuck behind ‘Miss Daisy’ who thought that 30mph was a bit quick, and that we should be a little more cautious along the country lanes. As a result, I finally walked through the door at about 2030, to be welcomed with a steaming plate of ‘Sunday Dinner’ by the wife… a perfect end to a great weekend, but if you get involved, don’t expect it to be a jolly; you’ll be knackered, and probably suffer for a couple of days after. Would I do it again? Damn right I would… see you at The Northern Angling Show!

MK DONS CLASH EFL REAFFIRMS DESIGNATED AS COMMITMENT TO LGBT Follow Your Local Team Every Week In The Mercury ‘FRIENDS FOR A FIVER’ CAMPAIGNS

ERRORS COST US - WARNE MILLERS chief Paul Warne believed individual errors were at the heart of their narrow away defeat at the hands of Bristol Rovers.

Ryan Williams’ strike early in the second half put the Millers in charge at the Memorial Stadium but their good work was undone when defensive hesitation led to Ellis Harrison’s equaliser soon after, before Liam Sercombe turned the game on its head with the home winner with fifteen minutes remaining.

Speaking to the assembled press corps afterwards, Warne admitted his side were punished for their inability to shut out the game, following Williams’ opener.

“I thought it was a pretty ugly game really and the conditions were not conducive to good football,” Warne admitted.

“We said to the lads at half time, it’s not one of those days when we can play while we had Potter go off early, although this did not have a massive effect.

“I thought we had enough chances to come away with something. To come away with nothing leaves me hugely frustrated.

“We need to go back to ugly defending.

Obviously after a defeat I’m never happy.

Tactically, the lads were set up perfectly to deal with what they had but individual errors cost

us. If we can eradicate that we have more than enough to pick up points in this league.”

Despite the nature of the defeat in Gloucestershire, Warne was heartened by the displays of goalscorer Williams and Joe Newell, who both returned to the starting line-up although Warne may have to cope without the services of Darren Potter, who was withdrawn following an Achilles injury and Kieffer Moore for the trip to Blackpool next weekend, after he was sent-off late in the game, which rubbed salt into Rotherham’s wounds.

“I thought Williams took his goal well and I thought he played well,” Warne added.

“I thought Newell was a constant threat. We looked dangerous on set-pieces but obviously it’s disappointing not to come away with something when I thought we deserved more from the game.

“I don’t know about Potter. His Achilles was sore. I would suggest he is doubtful (for Blackpool) at this stage.”

Rotherham United’s hosting of MK Dons in Sky Bet League One has been designated as a ‘Friends for a Fiver’ fixture.

Following the EFL’s successful contribution to Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign, the efforts to raise awareness in this important area are continuing as the EFL reaffirms its commitment to promoting LGBT inclusivity across football.

In a League first, EFL Clubs proudly displayed rainbow coloured corner flags to promote LGBT inclusivity in football for Stonewall’s initiative that took place between 24 November and 3 December.

The 10 day campaign also saw EFL captains wear rainbow coloured armbands and the EFL change its logo to a bespoke rainbow version whilst Clubs dedicated pages in their programme and on digital and social channels to support lesbian, gay, bi and trans-gender fans, players and staff across the game.

However, the EFL and its Clubs work all season round to promote an inclusive, accessible and welcoming environment to fans, players and staff.

Further to the Rainbow Laces campaign, this month the EFL will be supporting Come Out 2 Play, a social media campaign run by LGBT news site, Out News Global, aimed at supporting gay and bisexual footballers. The EFL joins Alan Carr, John Bishop and Piers Morgan in backing the campaign.

Later in the season the EFL will also be supporting LGBT history month and will continue to work with LGBT interest groups to strengthen their relationships with Clubs and supporters.

EFL Chief Executive, Shaun Harvey, said: “We are proud of our work to date in this important area but we know that there is much more that can be done. The EFL is pleased to support campaigns such as Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces and the upcoming Come Out 2 Play initiative, in order to help raise awareness, whilst also promoting the values of the game and ensuring football provides everyone with a safe and welcoming environment.

“EFL Clubs are fully committed to providing a positive experience for all and the EFL will continue to back campaigns that complement the wider work of our Clubs in this area, underpinned by the EFL’s Equality Code of Practice.”

COMPLETE PERFORMANCE IMPRESSES BOSS Darren Ferguson felt Rovers produced their most complete performance of the season as they beat Scunthorpe United 3-0 in the Emirates FA Cup second round.

A double from Tommy Rowe had Ferguson’s side in control before a late strike from substitute Liam Mandeville put Rovers in the hat for the third round.

He said: “We started off really well and pressed them into making mistakes, I think

that’s the best all round performance we’ve produced this season.

“Going up against the form team in the country it was always going to be tough and we had to be smart in the way we played.

“Scunthorpe will be right up there at the end of the season but we didn’t give them a minute, we kept to our game plan and that paid off for us.”

The manager is looking for another cup tie

against Premier League opposition in the next round, having already gone up against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup. “This was probably the toughest game we could have had at this stage and we’ve come through it, we’ll wait and see who we get in the next round,” he added.

“Ideally we want a home tie against a team we would fancy our chances against or a big side away as we’ve already seen this season what

that type of draw can do.

“We’ve been to Arsenal so another of the big sides would be nice, at the start of the season our aim was to reach the third round of both cup competitions and we’ve done that.”

strike from just inside the box was cleared off the line by Mason, with two other Rovers’ defenders back on the goal line.

Hakeeb Adelakun then went close deep into first-half injury time, as good work from Tom Hopper enabled the winger to get a shot on goal from the edge of the area, which fizzed just wide of the far post.

The visitors came out of the blocks quickly after the break, in search of an equalising goal, and Josh Morris was the man that almost brought the scores level.

Murray Wallace’s header down for Morris enabled him to gain space in the Rovers box, but Ian Lawlor got down well at his near post to deny the Iron an equaliser.

Morris was doing his best to get Scunthorpe the next goal, this time his free kick from 30 yards out was bent around the wall, but it was too easy for Lawlor who collected comfortably.

Rovers handled the pressure well though, and their resistance paid off as they doubled their lead on 67 minutes.

Rodney Kongolo’s determination down the right saw him shrug off the attempts of Wallace to get him off

the ball and release Rowe in the area.

Rowe took a touch to compose himself, before powerfully firing across Gilks and into the far corner to extend Rovers’ advantage.

Kongolo then went close to making it three, as he found space down the right once again, but his shot went just wide of the far post.

Marquis then had another effort saved by Gilks, this time low to his left, as the two continued their own personal battle.

The visitors still came forward as they looked for a way back into the game, and Lawlor was once again the hero as he prevented the Iron from pulling a goal back.

He got down to Charlie Goode’s strike from point blank range after another Morris corner to ensure that his clean sheet stayed intact.

Good work down the Rovers’ left this time saw Harry Toffolo create enough space to get a ball in towards Coppinger, however the captain could only curl just wide of the post.

There was just enough time for Rovers to make it three deep into injury time, as Coppinger released Liam Mandeville down the right, and he slotted under Gilks to seal Rovers’ progression into the third round.

ROVERS MELT IRON IN THE CUP Tommy Rowe scored twice to fire Rovers into the third round of the Emirates FA Cup, as they beat local rivals Scunthorpe United 3-0 at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Goals either side of the break from Rowe, before a late goal from Liam Mandeville, ensured Rovers progressed to the next stage of the competition after a fine home win.

It was a bright start from the home side, who pressed early on and forced a corner on the left-hand side.

James Coppinger’s corner was parried out by Matt Gilks in the Iron goal, but only as far as John Marquis who was lurking on the edge of the six-yard box, but the striker could only clip his shot over.

Marquis was next to go close for Rovers, as once again he found space in the United box, but this time he was only able to fire straight at Gilks who caught the ball comfortably.

It wouldn’t take long though for the first goal to come, and deservedly, it was Rovers who grabbed the opener.

Hakeeb Adelakun’s free kick on the left was cleared out by Niall Mason to the Iron’s Duane Holmes, who passed all the way back to Gilks.

Rowe pressed the United keeper, who’s clearance cannoned off the midfielder, and Rowe was able to control and clip the ball past Gilks to hand the home side the lead.

Rovers looked to extend their lead just moments later, with Matty Blair and Alfie Beestin looking to break clear, but Blair’s cross from the right was cut out just in time by Gilks before Beestin could get to it.

Beestin then went close again shortly afterwards, as he looked to break through the Iron defence, but Cameron Burgess managed to get his foot in before he could pull the trigger.

Rovers looked a threat every time they went forward, and yet another set-piece almost opened up the Iron once again.

Coppinger’s corner from the left was met by the head of Andy Butler, with Marquis looking to flick the ball into the net, but Gilks was behind it to prevent Rovers from doubling their lead.

Scunthorpe did come forward in search of an equaliser as the half drew to a close, with two good chances on the stroke of half-time.

First Duane Holmes cut in from the right, and his

BLANK AWAY-DAY FOR BLADES

United suffered a second consecutive defeat in Millwall’s Den. David Brooks was on target for the Blades with an impressive side-foot volley but Unitedleft the capital with nothing.

Leading scorer Clarke waas handed the captain’s armband as boss Wilder made two changes. Stearman and Brooks returned to the starting line-up with Wright and regular skipper Sharp dropping to

the bench. There was also a place amongst the substitutes for Heneghan.

Stearman was involved in the first action, getting across to snuff out Gregory’s opportunity after Morison and Wallace combined. United’s first chance saw Lundstram cut back on to his left-foot but his shot hit Brooks and drifted wide. In a frustrating start for Brooks, he was booked on ten minutes when referee

Madley thought the youngster dived following a collision on the edge of box.

Basham blocked a Ferguson shot destined for the bottom corner and Millwall’s start was rewarded on 14 minutes when the ball broke nicely for GREGORY, who produced a neat turn before slotting past Blackman.

NOT A HAPPY MAN Chris Wilder admitted his side were second best at The Den, following Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Millwall.

And speaking post-match, Wilder made no excuses, conceding his side got what they deserved.

He remarked: “We didn’t deserve anything from the game, Millwall were far more effective and deserved the win.

We’re disappointed in the manner of the performance. We told the players what to expect here, but they must have had headphones on when I was speaking, and I’m not pleased with that. We scored an excellent goal to get back into the game and dominated the back end of the first-

half and beginning of the second-half, but then we get caught on the counter attack and we weren’t effective enough. I’ve got no complaints whatsoever, Millwall fully deserved their victory.”

The Blades boss added: “The bottom line is we didn’t do enough. Whether teams play like us or in their own way, I’m never critical of how teams decide to go about their job.

What I demand is that we play effective football, we didn’t and Millwall did and we couldn’t cope with it. We put five crosses in from the right in the first-half and nobody has bust a gut to get a tap-in, then we’ve had opportunities to do the same from the left and we’ve hit the first man. We just weren’t effective in our decision making, getting round the first and second balls, the team we picked simply didn’t do enough and I don’t like what I’ve seen.”

the lead with their first attack of the half. O’Connell was dispossessed as he brought the ball out of defence and after Stevens failed to cut out Gregory’s pass, ROMEO had the space and time to beat Blackman.

Wallace had a chance to net a third but he was crowded out after taking on Carter-Vickers and Lundstram, then Cooper went close to connecting with Ferguson’s free-kick.

Sharp and Donaldson were introduced as United chased a leveller but Millwall professionally took the sting out of the game by denying the visitors any sight of their penalty area.And the home side secured the points with a third on 87 minutes.

From Wallace’s free-kick from the xxx COOPER rose left, at the back post to head in off the crossbar, seemingly the goal-line technology helping referee Madley and his assistant award the goal. It was the signal for a number of the 1,883 Blades fans inside The Den to make their long trip back north.

TRANSFER MERRY-G0-ROUND BEGINS WEEKLY BLADES COLUMN BY ANDREW SMITH

Sheffield United were always likely to fall out of form at some stage.

The Blades have taken one point from an available nine in their last three league fixtures. Nobody expected that the team would be able to maintain such high standards throughout the season. To look at the blip more positively, the run of form comes at a good time for Chris Wilder and his recruitment team. It is no coincidence that the shaky three game run began on the back of Paul Coutts’ horrific injury. His influence on the way the team plays is vital, and so far John Lundstram hasn’t been able to fit the spot perfectly. It would be unfair to expect the young midfielder to do this, but it does highlight the need for reinforcements next month. The club will undoubtedly be in the market for a central midfielder. Earlier in the week, it was reported the club

had had another bid rejected for Southend midfielder Ryan Leonard.

Wilder was unable to get the 25year-old in during the summer, and now Blades fans face another ordeal of speculating whether we can pry the midfielder away from Southend.

Focusing away from the centre of the pitch, it wouldn’t surprise many of the Bramall Lane faithful if the club looked to recruit a goalkeeper.

Both Jamal Blackman and Simon Moore haven’t disgraced themselves when given opportunities this season.

However, both have clear weaknesses to their game, with shot stopping being a particular issue for both. An improved keeper’ who can help to win points when the performances are not at their best is vital if United are to sustain a promotion challenge. With three weeks to go until the window opens, the transfer merry-go-round has begun.

HOME POINTS DROPPED The Owls turned in a stirring second half performance to overturn a half time deficit only to see Hull level a gripping contest in injury time. Gary Hooper was the man of the moment for Wednesday, scoring both goals to cancel out Frazier Campbell’s early opener. But Michael Dawson had the final say, with an element of fortune as his mishit shot deceived Westwood and crept into the net. It was

hard on the hosts, who dug deep to soak up everything the Tigers had to offer and then struck themselves to full effect. Wednesday began proceedings on the front foot and took the game to Hull but it was the visitors that went close five minutes in when Campbell volleyed high over the bar. The former Manchester United man was not to be denied, though, as Hull took the lead on 21 minutes.

Campbell found

space on the left side of the penalty area and looked up to pick his spot across Keiren Westwood and in. The goal gave Wednesday a jolt and they dominated the remainder of the first half, albeit without troubling Allan McGregor between the sticks. Adam Reach and Steven Fletcher went wide with half chances and the hosts needed a boost going into the second half. Kieran Lee, Jordan Rhodes and Atdhe Nuhiu

were all introduced which sparked wave of wave of attacks from Wednesday.

Rhodes headed into the grateful arms of McGregor before Reach beat the Hull keeper but the ball agonisingly struck the post and the danger was cleared. The pressure began to tell and inevitably paid off on 69 minutes when a scramble in the penalty area was concluded with Hooper swivelling to shoot convincingly into the top corner.

The linesman’s flag was raised but after a brief consultation, the referee gave the goal. Seven minutes from time, the man in the middle was again at the heart of the action, this time denying the Owls a penalty when Michael Dawson appeared to handle a Reach drive. Carvalhal was sent to the stands

for protesting but two minutes later the smile was back on his face when Nuhiu nodded down for Hooper and the striker’s clinical finish looked to have won the points. But deep into stoppage time Hull scored with their first attack of the second half. A deep cross landed at the feet of Dawson, whose skewed shot trickled in off the far post to salvage a point.

HULL-ABALOO

Carlos Carvalhal cut a frustrated figure following the 2-2 draw with Hull at Hillsborough.

Having overturned a 1-0 deficit to lead 2-1, the Owls conceded deep into injury time to see victory slip away. And Carvalhal watched the closing stages from the directors box having been sent off after contesting a penalty claim that was turned down by the referee.

He said: “I have said so many times that I do not want to talk about the refereeing decisions but again I have no choice.

We were denied a clear penalty kick when the Hull defender uses his hands like a goalkeeper.

I reacted like any coach and left my technical

area for a few moments then I went back but the referee told me I am out.” On the game itself, Carvalhal gave his players credit for the way in which they dug deep to turn the contest on its head. He said: “My players were very patient because Hull closed us down well and closed the spaces.

So we changed the way we play, with the three substitutes having a big impact on the game. We pushed and pushed, we got the equaliser then we got what I thought was going to be the winning goal. But Hull scored in the last minute with their first attack on our goal in the second half, as they did with their only chance in the first half.”
