SHEFFIELD CITY HALL SHORTLIST SUCCESS Sheffield City Hall has been recognised as one of the best large event venues in the country, by industry publication Event Magazine.

The venue – which is used for a range of events including music concerts, comedy gigs, and conferences – has been shortlisted in the Large Capacity Venue category of the magazine’s annual awards.

The City Hall will go up against the likes of the Royal Albert Hall and Chelsea Football Club when the Event Award is decided at a ceremony in London on September 20.

The shortlist comes just weeks after it was revealed that the City Hall has been selected as the host of the National Union of Students (NUS) national conference in April 2012 and 2013 – a three day conference that is estimated to generate over £2 million pounds for the local economy.

The Event Awards shortlist follows a run of success for Sheffield International Venues - the company that manages the City Hall. Another of the company’s 17 venues, iceSheffield, was a finalist at the national Conference Awards in

June and SIV Events has been shortlisted in the Welcome to Yorkshire White Rose Awards Business Tourism category which will be announced on October 10.

Dominic Stokes, General Manager of SIV Events, said: “To be consistently recognised in the industry against our peers is clearly great news for SIV. Event Magazine is a really significant trade publication nationally and internationally.

“To be shortlisted alongside some of the top London venues shows that we as a

Domestic & Commercial Flooring

company and a city are winning the battle to reduce the “London is the place to be” perception gap. This will be key to us providing event organisers with a credible alternative to London next year when availability will be restricted in the capital.

“Our team works incredibly hard to ensure that the events across all our venues are of the highest standard and it is always rewarding to receive recognition for good work.”

Weekly Wit With...

ALBERT SNODGRASS

Did you hear the one about a farmer who was feeding his chickens hot curries to flavour the meat to sell to Indian restaurants. One of the chickens died so he took it to the vet. On close inspection the vet said, “I’m very sorry but he appears to have slipped into a Korma!”

A born showman and one of the all-time classic performers, Tony Christie has notched up 50 years in music and it’s easy to Circus director Billy Schmart, upon hearing the news see why. The one of a kind singer announces of the death of one of his performers a Mr Michael four unmissable live shows this winter at O2 Turnball the human Canonball said, “He was a good Academy venues in Sheffield, Bournemouth, man, it would be difficult to find a man of the same Oxford and The Forum, Hertfordshire. calibre” With his roots in Sheffield, Christie has had A man walks into a pub and orders 4 pints of lager.

The barman says “What’s that then?” and the man says “50p”.

The priest looks at the bottle and says, “Good Lord! his next project, 2011’s ‘Now’s The Time!’.

He’s done it again!”

Christie re-visited his roots once again for this record, but this time it wasn’t in a geographical sense. The album bought together the sound of northern soul, British beat, filmic sound-tracks by stuart renton and a nod to Johnny Cash with some poignant Batman Live ballads and saw Christie working once again Who hasn’t leapt from the sofa in their with Jarvis Cocker and Moloko’s Roisin underpants with a towel around their shoulders Murphy. while pretending to be Batman?

Following a successful tour to mark the release Admittedly, it was last Tuesday, but I can be of ‘Now’s The Time’, Christie plays this forgiven as I’d just been to see Batman Live at the Motorpoint Arena and I was still heady from handful of live dates, featuring tracks from all the crime-fighting action. his back catalogue and as always the show is Kapow! Batman Live tells the story of how Batman first teamed up with boy-wonder, Robin (a joke here beautifully conceived, and movingly delivered. would simply be too cheap - even for me), and the Put very simply - they just don’t make them show is a combination of circus performer meets like they used to and Tony Christie live is state of the art technology in a visual feast that’s an assault on the senses. It’s like a supercharged Cirque testament to that.

round-up

Du Solei with superpowers. It really is stunning.

In fact, I haven’t been this overwhelmed since our Scout Leader accidentally stumbled upon the South Yorkshire Dogging Society’s Christmas Spectacular while trying to obtain our Moonlight Walk badge!

I’ll never look at snow with innocent eyes again.

Batman Live is truly a spectacle which consists of the main cast and a veritable slew of acrobats, gymnasts and other circus performers which come flipping across the stage or leaping from the rafters.

It’s a show that’s one part drama and one part circus act, and there’s something for everyone, including magic tricks, pyrotechnics and stunning fight scenes…

The only downside was that the sound quality wasn’t great in a venue like the Motorpoint, which, let’s face it, was never really built to handle the subtleties of characters speaking over music, and you really had to concentrate to hear what the characters were saying. But, like a date with a really gorgeous (but stupid) person, it’s all about the visuals and you’re really not there for the dialogue anyway.

Sadly, the show has finished now in Sheffield, but Batman Live is such a thrilling experience, it’s worth checking out in Birmingham, Manchester, or London. It really is that impressive. I’d suggest stealing a ticket, but then you’d have Batman after you and you wouldn’t want that….

Unless you’re into being chased by men in their underwear wearing lots of rubber. And, by rubber I mean the latex kind. No, I don’t mean that sort of latex… Will you all stop being so filthy? Just go see the show! Honestly, such dirty minds!

Pick up a ticket for Batman Live. It’s currently doing the country and the London shows are set to be even more spectacular, which, considering how high the bar has already been set, will be no mean feat.

Score: 9/10. Blistering. Breath-takingly fantastic.

Kids will adore it.

Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

Crystals & Gemstones - Properties and Information Crystals play a large part in spiritual phenomena.

Many people want to know more about how they work and so I will enlighten you.

Whenever I do a psychic reading I give my client crystals. It depends on the client’s birthstone and how well they are coping as to what crystals will be in their silk bag. I use crystal energies with all my clients. I have two crystal skulls, one green and one Rose Quartz. I have named them Rubin and Rosa. I’m not really crackers! I use these two in my meditation. They become very hot in my hand and I have great faith in both of them.

For thousands of years people have used crystals, gemstones and minerals for healing as well as for a variety of ailments. Crystals can alter your emotions and your mental state of mind, they can banish the aches and pains that we all suffer from time to time.

Crystals can enable you to be spiritually attuned to your mind, body, and spirit. The first gemstone used for healing was Amber, this is not actually a crystal but a resin (Resin is the sap we get from trees. Amber was the first used for healing at least 7,000 years ago). Amber is highly prized in the world of crystals.

There are many different crystals used to heal, amongst the best is Purple Amethyst and Green Aventurine.

Quartz to some mineral water, leave overnight and then drink. This gives you a feeling of peace. Green Aventurine gem water can ease sunburn, again soak the gem overnight but this time put the water in a spray bottle or dab onto the skin. Rhondonite or Mookite can be sprayed onto wounds. I stress that it is extremely important to use the correct crystals.

Unfiltered tap water cannot be used.

Crystal Quality The better the crystal, the better the effect will be.

Use raw gemstones, crystals without an attached matrix, pre-tumbled crystals or unwaxed crystals.

Joined crystals (three or more) are not suitable. The crystals Blue Azurite, Green Malachite, Green Chrysoprase and Cinnabar are very toxic.

Ideas For Using Crystal Gem Water A stress relieving bath - Green Chrysocolla, Blue Domortierite, Smokey Quartz, Black Tourmaline.

A stimulating bath - Green Epidote, Red Garnet, Green Heliotrope, Orange Carnelian, Green Mookite.

A bath for the skin - Purple Amethyst, Blue Chalcedony, Pink Rose Quartz.

A sensual bath - Pink Rose Quartz, Pink Rhondosite, Red Garnet, Red Tourmaline, Fire Red Opal.

Gemstone Cures (always check with your doctor about using crystals as some are very powerful.)

Amber can help with allergies and nausea, also rub onto swollen joints.

Amethyst is good for the brain, nerves and lungs.

Carnelian stabilises circulation and helps high blood pressure.

Diamond is the best healing crystal around, drink the gem water after a stroke.

Emerald strengthens the immune system and helps with infections of the eye.

Fire Opal makes you wide awake and encourages fertility.

Jade encourages muscular strength.

Obis can relieve shock, block anxiety pain and help wounds heal.

Rose Quartz strengthens the heart and encourages fertility Turquoise is a pain reliever if rubbed onto limbs and also relieves cramps.

How To Use The Crystals...

(1) You can wear them as a pendant. You must consider what you want to achieve as some crystals work against each other. You need to know which crystals work well together.

(2) You can make a drink, for example, ‘Gem Water.’

This term is used to describe water that has been infused by crystals and is distinct from ‘Mineral Water.’ Mineral water can be taken as a healing remedy. The mineral water from a spring is used to treat eyes, kidneys, digestive disturbances and many other complaints.

Rose Quartz and Amethyst can create a very pleasant effect. They can give you feelings of peace, alertness, Next week ‘How crystals work’. Any questions please email me at psychicglynis@talktalk.net or and well being. mobile 07811632353 Gem Water In the future I will be answering questions about the Gem water can be placed onto the skin or used as a paranormal.

Sheffield 50+ - The Voice of Older People Heard Nationally

‘Our health history’

http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Classof1948/ Pages/Classof48overview.aspx

We found this article when looking for some information on the internet and thought it would be interesting to share with you.

“This is the story of a class of children who were at school in Cornwall in 1948, the year the NHS began. The NHS traced them in 2008 to find out what had happened to their health.

When they were born, men in England were expected to live to about 60 and women to 63. That means that we could have expected that about half of the class would have died before that age. In fact, only a third have died and only two died before they were 60.

About half the things this group has been treated for might have shortened their lives. But, in fact, the NHS has dealt with them. Many of the other treatments have relieved pain and suffering. Some of these conditions could have been prevented, and only now is health policy really paying attention to that.

Health conditions The health-related stories from the class show how advances in medicine have helped them. Since this class was at school there have been huge changes.

When they were children, rheumatic fever and TB were significant problems.

Now it’s much less common for anyone to die of or be seriously affected by these infections.

Between 5% and 7% of over-70s in the UK have type 2 diabetes. One member of the class, Enid, is proof that by managing your weight, you can keep diabetes under control with medication.

As a group they seem to have avoided HIV or any of the hepatitis viruses, neither of which had been heard of when they were born.

Grow happier with age

http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/over60s/Pages/ Growhappier.aspx

Most people become happier with age, and you can too. Here are five things you can do to stay vital and happy in your later years.

Studies conducted by Dr Heather Lacey and Dr Peter Ubel at the Center for Behavioural and Decision Science in Michigan found that most people get happier as they grow older.

Achieving a happy retirement can take work and patience. Many older people complain that they feel useless or don’t know what to do with their time. Here are five strategies that research has found raise happiness levels: Keep up a daily routine We all know people who work hard for 40 years only to find retirement unsatisfying. Surprisingly, one of the keys to happiness after retirement is doing exactly what you did before. Keep getting dressed in the morning, keep cooking and going out, and keep making an effort. Research shows that people who maintain their personal standards

Lifestyle choices The group has been active and productive, with higher employment than in some areas of the country.

Almost a third are still working in their 70s. Many have inherited a healthy lifestyle from their rural roots, eating more fresh fruit and vegetables than would be seen in a group living in a city.

Food rationing in the war did a lot to improve the national diet by emphasising what was really needed, and this particular generation will have benefited most from that, and formed the right habits in their teenage years.

Cornwall is not a rich area but life expectancy there is longer than in other comparable areas. A similar inner city group might not have lived as long or had as much opportunity to work.

Cause of death Only seven out of 21 pupils have died, which is slightly lower than the national average for this age group.

Their cause of death is in line with the national statistics for mortality: the two main causes were cancer and circulatory diseases. Nationally, these are the two main causes of death for this age group.

Smoking Smoking, as would be expected, emerges as the most important health factor in the group. More than half the deaths were from diseases often caused by smoking.

Almost half the group have smoked at some time but now only 14% do, (about 15% of people over 60 smoke).

There are fewer smokers among the elderly partly because smokers die young, as they have in this group, but also because as people get older they’re more likely to realise the damage it is doing.”

The Class of 1948 content, including this article, was written in 2008 to mark the 60th anniversary of the NHS

and believe that retirement is just as important as working life are likely to be happier for longer.

Give attention to people you love Once people have retired, friends and family are at the top of the list of things that make them happy. Being married can contribute to your happiness, but having friends is also vital. In fact, according to economist Professor Andrew Oswald of Warwick University, we would need an extra £50,000 to make up for not having friends.

Finding friends that share your interests - in the way your work colleagues used to share your day-to-day business - may make you the most contented. Websites such as Friends Reunited can help you get in touch with old friends.

Do interesting things People may tell you to keep busy, but mindless activity won’t have the same effect on happiness as hobbies that interest you. The most effective activities are ones that hold your attention so much that you lose track of time. It could be any activity, such as sudoku, gardening or learning a language.

Research on retirement has found that people who spend at least six hours a week doing something active that they enjoy are more likely to be content.

If you want to develop new skills, most local councils and further education colleges hold evening classes in subjects from flower arranging to Pilates.

Organisations such as the University of the Third Age (U3A) can introduce you to subjects from family history to the night sky.

Show goodwill to all men Want to boost your happiness whatever your situation? Carrying out five acts of kindness, big or small, a week will help significantly, according to new research.

You could help at a local school, look after your grandchildren, weed a neighbour’s garden or say a heartfelt “thank you” to someone who made your day. These will all boost your sense of contentment.

Be realistic about money Almost everyone thinks money will make them more secure and, therefore, happier. In fact, money is the one thing that has relatively little impact on happiness. Most research suggests that, once everyday needs have been met, more money makes no difference to long-term happiness. Even winning the lottery only gives a short-term boost before happiness levels return to normal.

NEED HELP WITH THE DIGITAL SWITCHOVER? IF you’re confused about the digital switchover, you’re probably not alone. But don’t worry because the helpful team at Williams Electrical are on hand to make the digital switchover as hasslefree and simple as possible for you.

Located in the Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre, the friendly, welcoming team members at Williams are more than happy to answer any questions about what you need to do to make sure your are able to watch all your favourite television shows after the analogue signal is turned off later this year.

The Sheffield area switchover is due to take place this August when 119,000 local homes will be affected by the switchover.

Store manager John Staniforth, who has 40 years industry experience, explained: “Although the digital switchover means more channel choice, it also means people need to make sure their TV sets, video and DVD recorders will work after the switch.”

Established in Sheffield for more than 100 years, there’s no better business to talk you through the digital switchover than Williams Electrical, where the wide range of products ensures that there’s something for everyone.

Whether you’ve been intending to replace your old television set for a while or have recently bought a new screen and are looking for an easy, affordable way to ensure it works after the switchover, the digital experts at the Crystal Peaks store can make sure the switchover is easy by offering no obligation advice in store or over the phone.

All the staff at Williams are highly trained experts who specialise in different products, meaning you can rest assured that there will be someone who knows just the answer to your query or the exact product to suit your budget and requirements.

Although more and more people are becoming aware of the switchover as the day approaches, it’s easy to focus on your main television set and forget secondary sets in bedrooms or kitchens, or ignore the fact that analogue recorders will also need converting or upgrading.

Coming to you this summer, the benefits of the digital switchover are that people will have access to a wider range of free to air digital channels in a clearer definition picture, as well as f ree-to-air HD channels.

Added John: “People that have come in don’t seem to be too worried about the actual switchover, but concerned about whether they’ll be able to receive the signal and whether their existing equipment will work.

At Williams we are aware that TV reception in certain areas around Sheffield is poor, and this might not improve after the switchover.

Freesat could be a solution. This is a digital service free from the BBC and ITV, which will give you over 140 TV and radio channels, as well as treating you to high definition for free!”

Offering a free five-year guarantee on all new TVs, family-run Williams Electrical will even deliver and install your new appliances to make sure everything works perfectly.

Please call into Williams Electrical, 37 Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre or call on 0114 248 0054 for up to date information about the best way to upgrade or convert your current system to get digital ready for the Summer

A sensible question. I’ve been playing WMC’s for over 20 years.

I’ve made the larger percentage of my income from doing so for most of that time.

When I first started on the circuit, I noticed how most people in the concert rooms were, with the greatest of respect, the older generations.

As time has gone on, I’ve seen these people get older and very few younger people appearing in the audiences. E...ntertainers have (I believe and please correct me if I’m wrong) always felt that it was the clubs policies and rules that kept younger people away. As a musician, I’ve found that a set of oldies and the usual favourites is the way to go to please the crowds - but I’m beginning to wonder if such a set is not just contributing to the problem.

If all we play is old stuff - why would the youngsters attend? It has always amazed me how unconcerned clubs seem to be about the lack of new blood and it is about time this attitude changed - for obvious reasons. Now, at one time, there were lots of midweek gigs in clubs, but nowadays

they are sadly rare. Why don’t some of you clubs consider a mid-week night aimed at a younger audience advertised as such - with a suitable entertainer, no signing in or bingo or organist or any of that old-school stuff. Make it cool. Serve young peoples drinks + get some burgers on! Jamie Mallender Andy Spivey: It is with some sadness that I report that local guitarist and musician Andy Spivey and his wife Jackie will be leaving the Sheffield area for pastures new, (High Wycombe i’m told).

Andy as well as being a former professional guitarist has been a champion of live music in Sheffield, putting on live bands and hosting jam nights at the New Inn at Norton as well as attending and being a main feature at many other jam sessions in many other pubs. A versatile guitarist with an Albert Lee’esque twang he can always busk you an improvised solo in any song you care to sing. Generous with his time and encouragement to other budding musicians, he’ll be missed by his many friends and fellow musicians.

Wishing him and Jackie good luck in their new venture.....Cheers Andy Martin Hurd

VOICE OF THE NIGHTINGALE RADIO NIGHTINGALE

by Mel Jaques

Mark Twain once said “the best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.”

Radio Nightingale provides a special service to cheer up the patients of the Rotherham General Hospital. So why not cheer yourself up by joining the Radio Nightingale team.

Volunteering isn’t just good for the soul. It can also put you on track to improve your career. Whether you’re currently studying, in work or out of work volunteering is a great way o develop new skills, build your confidence and show future employers that you’ve got drive and initiative. Over 70% of employers say that they would hire a candidate with volunteering experience over someone who has never volunteered. Volunteering offers the chance to have amazing experiences, make friends with people from all walks of life, and who knows, perhaps even find love! And it has been medically proven that ‘doing good’ can give you a heightened sense of well being and a stronger immune system. Remember though that if you want to use volunteering to develop your career, treat it as work, not a hobby.

Only a small part of Radio Nightingale’s work is about presenting programmes, keeping the station running takes a lot of work and volunteers are needed to help with a range of jobs. This includes ward visiting and request collecting, fundraising activities and administrative duties, as well as operating the studio equipment and presenting programmes.

You don’t need any expert knowledge or technical expertise to be successful at Radio Nightingale, most important is a willingness to learn and be part of a team and be able to make a regular commitment. Alternatively we have some more casual, as and when, opportunities available.

Visit www.radionightingale.org. uk to buy your raffle tickets for the Small Charity Car Draw and support Radio Nightingale with your chance to win a brand new Fiat 500 1.2 Pop. Contact us on 01709 304244 for more information on volunteering.

GET TOASTING WITH MAGIC MAGIC AM

by Trevor Thomas

By the time you’re reading this I will be sunning myself in Viva Espana.

I’m off visiting my Mum and Dad who moved out to the Costa Blanca four years ago.

By looks of it the temperatures will be in the 30s, so there might be a lot of waking up in the middle of the night feeling as if I’ve actually nodded off in a sauna.

Geoff Hemming is looking after things on the air in South Yorkshire and the North Midlands with the best of the 60s, 70s and more every weekday morning as you wake up.

Our Magic Word contest continues as well. You can find out more about the game and the prizes you can win on our new Magic AM website.

Don’t forget that Geoff also gives you a chance to publicise your events every weekend in our Toaster Challenge too. The idea is that he’ll put in a couple of slices of bread in to toast and you’ll then have 30 seconds to tell all our listeners about what you’re doing.

Whether it’s a car boot sale, fete, skydive for charity or even an attempt at a world record, all you need to do is email your details to us.

In the last few weeks we’ve heard from Robert who is organizing what’s hopefully going to be the world’s largest dominoes game at the Hearty Oak Pub in Dronfield during August Bank Holiday weekend, and from Liz about an Elvis night held this week.

The event marked both 34 years since the King passed away and the recent sad death of Elvis impersonator Stan Beighton at West End Club, Woodhouse.

The Toaster Challenge happens every Saturday and Sunday at some point between 6.00 and 10.00am.

SPOILT FOR CHOICE CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK

by Ruth Cherrington

Drink in the contemporary era Fashions come and fashions go, as the saying goes, and this certainly holds true for our drinking habits. We have never lost the taste for beer but every now we start to drink something new.

Looking behind any well-stocked bar in a club these days would cause consternation to someone transported from an earlier era. In the post-war period, a wide range of other alcoholic drinks have been concocted and marketed, some of them having staying power but others quietly disappearing from the chill tray. During the 60s and 70s, breweries began to specifically target women with drinks such as Babycham.

This had a very successful TV advertising campaign from the late 50s through the 60s. The catch-phrase ‘Babycham? I’d love a Babycham’, was repeated thousands of times by the viewing public. The sweet and sickly cherry balanced on the top looked like the height of sophistication back then as it did on another drink, the Snowball, which could be described as a club cocktail.

They were more expensive than the average drink and aimed at younger women, and their boyfriends doing the buying.

Adverts from the 70s might be viewed in a dim light today such as for Moussec published in the CIU’s Club Journal. ‘Umpteen million impressionable women are going to be hit over the head

by Moussec every way they turn. ..Moussec- for girls with expensive tastes (aren’t you glad.) ‘ Or, ‘They all like it cold. Chill Moussec and you bring out the best in a girl.

You make her more warm-hearted towards the man in her life.’

Meanwhile, lager began to appear, a drink formerly associated with ‘the Continent’, wherever that was. First it was a trickle, then a flood as we all got the taste. Who can ever forget their first lager and lime? Breweries also continued to supply the old favourites such as bitter and mild, with ‘real ale’ making a come-back thanks to the work of CAMRA. The 1990s saw more targeting of youth and women with ‘alcopops’ hitting the shelves and things became really confusing, especially if you drank too many. There was a huge growth in bottled drink sales, with higher profits being made as well for some. There were Spanishsounding beers with a slice of lime on top if they took your fancy.

Now that times are harder, we are perhaps rediscovering draft beers (including lager) but have a far wider choice available than ever before.

REVIEW: FLIGHT 815/CORP

by KT Evans

ALBUM REVIEW: JOSS STONE

by KT Evans

Reinforcing Sheffield’s thriving hard-core underground image, the largest rock night club in the North of England, Corporation is a regular play-ground for metal, post punk and screamo bands on both a national and international level. Still very much in support of local talents however, the small room at the labyrinth-esque nightclub played host to Flight 815, a rock quintet from the Steel City. Being their last gig performing under the band’s name (something about Uni commitments?) Flight 815 tried and successfully attempted to put on their best show to date.

Pulling in the crowds to any gig is a pretty big feat, especially when live rock and metal caters to a somewhat niche market. Although pretty much lacking on the audience numbers throughout the evenings decibel raising performance, the atmosphere in the small room was as good as it could be…smoke machines and impressive light shows don’t necessarily make bands sound any better however do successfully add to the all rounded energy of the night. This was certainly the case for Flight 815. Barely viewable from the thick smoke being pumped out every minute, the mood was set for the bands anticipated performance.

A clear confidence and ease-on-stage oozed out of the band, with lead vocalist Alex Allt clearly comfortable with heading the soft rock Sheffield group. However, a lack of presence was evident... the standard procedure for the leader of a band is to interact and play with the audience, something which Flight 815 seemed to waver on. Having said this however, tracks such as ‘Revelations’ and ‘I Need To Let You Go’ do emphasise Alex’s clear vocals, something which they should have arguably played on more throughout their performance.

Having their primary influences as Mars Volta, Radio Head and Biffy Clyro, Flight 815 have so far done pretty well for themselves. A record deal and general manager usually comes as standard for an established band, however for a group of boys barely old enough to legally buy themselves a pint is pretty impressive. This therefore begs the question, why are they disbanding when highbrow deals and managements are sniffing in their direction? In a culture where University seems to be the be all and end all, let’s hope Flight 815 don’t regret their decision to split after a potentially prosperous career.

If this be the case therefore, the band need to learn to be rock stars. They need to have a swagger about them which makes them stand above the crowd.

Ozzy Osborne once said ‘you can’t distinguish between the audience and the band members nowadays. I used to wear ridiculous clothes but it made me look different…you knew I was in a f***ing band!’ If they took note from one of rock’s greatest, we’re not talking curly perms and silver lycra here but more of a rock ‘n’ rollers image, then maybe Flight 815 could have made more of themselves then they did. We’ll never know though ey?!

Famed for her soulful image and distinct vocals (not to mention her… miraculous change in accent from British to American at the 2007 BRIT awards) Joss Stone is set to release her Best Of album, ‘Super Duper Hits’ on 26th September.

A culmination of her top singles including ‘Fell In Love With A Boy,’ ‘Super Duper Love’ and ‘Spoiled,’ the twenty four year olds new collection also includes her very own version of Nat King Cole’s ‘L-O-V-E,’ coincidently heard in the recent advert for Chanel’s Mademoiselle fragrance.

With a back catalogue of chart topping hits both in the UK and across the pond, twenty four year old Jocelyn Stoker has so far done ridiculously well for herself. Rising to fame in 2003 with her first studio album The Soul Session, Joss Stone went from zero to overnight hero, with her first release going triple platinum by April 2005. The lead track off the album ‘Fell In Love With a Boy’ reached the top twenty in the UK singles charts, seeing Stone’s career in both the UK aswell as USA prosper. Not only nominated for the Mercury Award in 2004, Stone also was nominated and won Glamour’s Woman of the Year and HUMO’s Best International Female Singer in the same month. Not bad to say the country girl form Devon was only seventeen!

After receiving huge critical acclaim for her first release, Joss Stone went on to release her second studio chart topping album, ‘Mind Body & Soul’ in September 2004. Naming this album her ‘first real debut,’ this album broke a chart record for being the youngest producer of a number one album…at only eighteen years old! Similar to that of her previous album, ‘Mind, Body & Soul’ also went triple platinum, a remarkable achievement for someone still so young.

The 2005 BRIT awards could not have gone any better for Joss Stone, winning two out of three nominated awards. A mantel piece no doubt cluttered for space, she went home with British female solo artist and British Urban Act, making her one of the most successful winners of the night. Along with these, she was also granted the highest honour of… sexiest vegetarian in 2006 and snapped a place in the Sunday Times top 100 rich list in the same year. Not bad to say the soulstress left school with only three GCSE’s!

Although recent news reports have been made about an alleged murder plot against Stone, she quickly bounced back and is once again ready to tackle the UK album charts. Available from 26th September, ‘Super Duper Hits’ can be purchased in all major retailers.

SHEFFIELD ARTISTS CAUGHT UP IN RIOTING On the evening of Monday 8th of August rioters and looters attacked a three story warehouse in North London owned by Sony that was home to independent music distributors [PIAS].

Thankfully nobody was hurt in the attack and of course the loss is not equal to the suffering felt by many others innocently caught up in the rioting.

However [PIAS] were the distributor for many of the UK’s independent record labels and in the fire hundreds of labels, artists and independent retailers have been greatly effected by the damage caused.

Locally Sheffield artists have been badly affected by the events of last Monday.

The complete run of the Arctic Monkeys next single ‘The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala’ has been destroyed as well as the new album from Sheffield DJ Toddla T who has had to push the physical release of his album back, further adding to his woes after a German Journalist idiotically leaked his album online last week.

Toddla, real name Tom Bell, says: “I turned on the TV on Tuesday morning and saw the warehouse fire amid the madness.

“I didn’t realise what it was but I phoned my manager and he told me that it’s where indie distribution firm PIAS are based.

“I was like ‘f***!’ and then I found out that all the CDs due to go to shops were destroyed. Ninja (Toddla’s Label) lost 100,000 units.

“We’ve got to get more stock made now so release has been delayed by a week. I was shocked but compared to some s*** people have had to put up with a few burnt CDs is nothing.”

The attacks are all the more upsetting, as in addition to CDs and vinyl, certain master copies and hard drives were held with [PIAS], at the warehouse owned by Sony DADC. A spokesperson from Rolling Stone has commented that “nothing is salvageable”. So it is likely that certain recording will never to be heard again. This is a very sad moment in the history of music, as well as film.

Larger, umbrella labels are thought to be able to weather the storm whilst their insurance claims are settled. It is the smaller labels that are most at risk of folding. [PIAS] have been working around the clock to ensure that the wheels of supply continue to turn as soon as possible. [PIAS] and AIM (Association of Independent Music) have been in dialogue with MCPS, PPL and other companies and organisations to discuss ways in which these additional and un-insured costs can be mitigated. [PIAS] are also working with AIM to create a fund that companies and organisers of initiatives can contribute to.

“The fund that is being put together in a matter of hours by [PIAS] and AIM demonstrates once again the strength and solidarity in the independent music community,” says Kenny Gates, co-founder and CEO of [PIAS]. “[PIAS] will carry on engaging, helping and supporting its labels and artists in every way possible. I am very confident that our combined efforts will result in the smallest interruption to our collective business. Again the compassion of our recording artists, our labels and the industry wide support is amazing.”

Anyone wishing to contact [PIAS] and AIM in respect to this fund should email labelsupportfund@ musicindie.com Independent retailers also face problems, as they have come to rely on limited releases and collector’s editions in the face of staunch competition.

PETS CORNER

According to the recently published PDSA Animal Wellbeing (PAW) Report*, 66% of dogs in the UK are now neutered. Whilst this figure is encouraging, it means that 2.8 million dogs are still not receiving the health benefits that neutering brings. In addition to health benefits for individual pets, neutering dogs and cats also plays a vital role in reducing the thousands of unwanted puppies and kittens that are born every year.

PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Sean Wensley, says: “These figures show that many dog owners are aware of the benefits that neutering brings, both to their own pets and in reducing the number of those that become unwanted and abandoned. But animal rehoming centres are still full of unwanted animals, so we need to keep explaining the benefits of neutering and encourage even more owners to take this responsible step.”

Neutering is a term which covers two different operations.

In male animals, the testicles are removed – this is called castration. In female animals the ovaries and the uterus (womb) are usually removed – this is called spaying. The operations stop pets from fathering or carrying offspring.

The idea of a pet having puppies or kittens might be nice for an owner, but feeding and providing health care for them is more expensive than many people think, and each will need to be found a loving home. Unfortunately, for too many this does not happen and hundreds of thousands

end up in rehoming centres each year. Tragically, many are euthanized because a home cannot be found. It is also a myth that there is any benefit to a female pet of having a litter before she is spayed. In fact, not being spayed earlier in life increases the risk of a bitch developing breast cancer.

Other health benefits to female dogs include preventing a life-threatening infection of the womb, called pyometra.

In female cats it prevents cancer of the womb and ovaries.

In male dogs neutering protects from testicular cancer and disease of the prostate gland, while neutered male cats are less likely to roam and fight. This reduces their chances of getting feline AIDS (FIV) which is spread by bites and scratches. It also means they are less likely to be hit by a car which, sadly, is not uncommon amongst cats.

Rabbits should also be neutered. Rabbits are highly social animals and need the companionship of another rabbit, but the wrong pair could breed or fight. The most successful combination is usually a neutered male with a neutered female. As well as allowing them to enjoy the company of another rabbit, there is also an important health benefit; up to 80 per cent of female rabbits that haven’t been spayed can develop cancer of the womb. Some people want to neuter their pet because they think it will reduce aggression. While this is true for some pets, in others, neutering will make little difference. Owners should always speak to their vet if they have a problem with their pet’s behaviour. Other owners don’t want to neuter their pet because they think it will cause them to gain weight. It is true that neutering causes an animal to burn calories at a slower pace, but by making minor adjustments to their diet and exercise, weight gain can be easily prevented. Several myths surround neutering so owners should always speak to their vet to get the facts.

Angler’s Corner

The first four races on each of the four days will be shown on Channel 4 so I shall concentrate on these events.

by Clint Walker

I don’t think it’s really that relevant to discuss fishing after the tragedy which has befallen the UK recently, but I’ll try to draw some very loose parallels. This week has seen some truly appalling scenes of wanton destruction and absolutely shocking behaviour on our streets. I’m trying hard not to go off on a mad rant, but if you are a decent law abiding person, then what we have witnessed on the streets of some of our major cities must make you want to weep, make you very angry, or just downright despair......

Personally, I would have authorised dogs, rubber bullets and water cannon on day one, never mind prevaricating about the human rights of ‘protesters’. There would be rows of them lined up, handcuffed to railings and exposed to the fury of the general public......What on earth gives them the right to defile, damage, deface, steal and even set fire to the property, belongings, dreams and aspirations of others who have tried to do the things a civilised society expects of them?

The excuses I’ve heard trotted out about lack of jobs, education, opportunity and who knows what else don’t wash with me I’m afraid; get off your backside and take responsibility for yourselves rather than expect others to do it for you!!! Why should I work a 42 week, then take on another job to live how I would like when these ‘people’ seem to think I, and millions of other taxpayers, should pay for their lifestyle choice??!

This awful attitude does however cross to the bankside on occasions.......I’ve heard more and more stories about anglers who have had tackle stolen whilst asleep, been made to hand over gear at knifepoint, and even murdered on the banks to get a few quids worth of fishing tackle. I refer to my previous points; why the hell is it considered acceptable by a few to take from others what they have worked for? Why shouldn’t they get off their lazy rear, pull on a pair of flashy Nikes (which I can’t afford) then go to the job centre for a JOB rather than benefits?? It sickens me to hear of youngsters held up and threatened by others for their pride and joy, perhaps something they have saved hard to buy and deserve greatly having WORKED for it.....

I know that the thieving of a few thousand pounds worth of fishing gear in no way compares to millions of pounds worth of damage caused over the previous few days, it’s not a comparison I’m trying to make; I’m just commenting on how absolutely horrified I am by the thoughts and ideas of a minority within the UK who contribute nothing of worth, but not only that, try to destroy or steal from those who do.....I won’t say that the fightback starts here, that’s already begun with the armies of people with broom in hand determined to put things right, but I think it’s about time that the civilised majority made their feelings known to those who can change things......now, I’m off fishing, I need to come back down!!!

303 PRINCE OF WALES ROAD, SHEFFIELD, S2 1FH Open Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri & Sat 7.30am - 4pm.

Open Wed 7.30am - 1pm.

Wednesday’s card looks typically difficult.

2.00 Symphony Group Stakes (Handicap), 5 furlongs, 3yo+ rated 0-105: Bottom weight Strike up the Band can lift this prize with the helpful aid of Michael O’Connell’s 3lb claim. A winner last time out he comes here in good heart and his savvy trainer knows the time of day with his sprinters. He beat some decent yardsticks in a 0-85 event at Haydock last time and can follow up here. His main rivals would look to be Ginger Ted and Mon Brav but a prominent show from Barry Hills’ 3yo Face the Problem would not surprise.

2.30 Sportingbet.com Acomb Stakes, 7 furlongs, 2yo, Group 3: Richard Hannon’s Fort Bastion carries the burden of my top rating in this but disappointed last time at Newmarket in a Group 2 event and, for that reason is passed over here. He may well bounce back on this more suitable ground but I don’t want to take that chance. My second best rating goes to Paul D’Arcy’s Caledonian Spring, only a point behind the top rated and a winner last time out, for which he merits the selection. He may have most to fear from Michael Dods’ course and distance winner Rock Supreme and Barry Hills’ Balty Boy but with seven other last time out winners in the field (who are once-raced and therefore unexposed) it is difficult to be dogmatic about any of them.

3.05 Sportingbet.com Great Voltigeur Stakes, 12 furlongs, 3yo, Group 2: It is hardly a surprise but Aidan O’Brien’s Seville stands out here. His seconds to Treasure Beach in the Irish Derby and Meandre in the Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp look to be streets ahead of what the opposition can muster.

Unfortunately the odds of 5/4 reflect his chance. Sir Michael Stoute’s Sea Moon, Mark Johnston’s Namibian and Roger Charlton’s Al Khazeem seem to be the ones that will give him most to do although if either of the Godolphin pair, Hunter’s Light and Genius Beast, were at their best they might upset the favourite at relatively rewarding odds.

3.40 Juddmonte International Stakes, 10+ furlongs, 3yo+, Group 1: I cannot desert Midday who is the selection. The unbeaten Irish colt Await the Dawn will provide stern opposition but at least his participation makes Midday’s odds more rewarding. My ratings give Roderic O’Connor a much better chance than his current odds (25/1) would indicate.

He is clear second best in my ratings and warrants an each way saver.

Thursday: 2.00 DBS Premier Yearling Stakes, 6 furlongs, 2yo, Class 2: I like the chance of Tommy Stack’s Irish raider Hestian

for this. He won in good style on his only start to date when keeping on well to beat subsequent winner An Ghalanta by two lengths over five furlongs at Naas. He may have most to fear from Robert Mills’ Ewell Place although a back to form showing from Parc de Launay could put him in the firing line also. Others with decent chances are West Leake Diman, Worthington, Roger Sez, Red Art and Electric Qatar.

2.30 Jaguar Cars Lowther Stakes, 6 furlongs, fillies, Group 2: I reckon that another Irish raider Fire Lily could be the answer here. She beat After (re-opposes here) by two and a half lengths last time out in a Group 3 event at the Curragh. That race was run in an excellent time for the conditions and she merits a relatively confident choice.

The unbeaten pair Best Terms and Angels Will Fall could prove dangerous along with David Simcock’s last time out winner Hello Glory.

3.05 Addleshaw Goddard Stakes (Handicap), 8 furlongs, 3yo+, Class 2: The consistent Pintura gets a narrow vote ahead of Roker Park, Masked Dance, Lovelace, Vainglory, Axiom, Prime Exhibit and Leviathan. However there is not a lot between any of the runners so take care.

3.40 Darley Yorkshire Oaks, (Fillies and Mares), 12 furlongs, Group 1: I am a big fan of Snow Fairy who ran second to Midday in this race last year and who could be good enough.

However, I have been a little disappointed in her showings to date this year. For that reason I am looking elsewhere and have chosen Sir Henry Cecil’s Vita Nova as the likely winner. She was unlucky last time at Haydock when her saddle slipped and can make amends here. Banimpire and Blue Bunting have been very consistent in their classic year and may prove troublesome to the selection. Another with an outside chance at reasonable odds would be Mark Tompkins’ Brushing.

Millers and Rovers News & Reviews 2011/12

MILLERS NEWS 2011/12 MILLERS NOTCH FOUR MATCH REPORT www.themillers.co.uk Rotherham United produced a stunning second half performance to sink Plymouth Argyle, after a brace each from Gareth Evans and Adam Le Fondre secured a 4-1 win.

After going behind at the start of the second half, the Millers didn’t buckle and surged through the Argyle defence to score four unanswered goals to stun the home side.

Andy Scott made three changes from the side that was beaten by Leicester City in mid-week. Dale Tonge, Conrad Logan and Evans were selected with Marcus Marshall, Andy Warrington and Ben Pringle missing out.

The Millers were quick out of the blocks and had the first opportunity on six minutes. Logan went route one with a long clearance down the centre which was latched onto by Lewis Grabban, but after sprinting into the penalty area he dragged his shot wide from the angle.

A minute later and it was Grabban again who was in the thick of the action. A cross from the left by Tom Newey fell to the former Brentford striker, but scuffed his initial effort before slamming his second attempt into the side netting from a tight angle.

The Millers continued to pressure the home defence with Le Fondre the next to try his luck, but his curling effort was wide of the far post.

After a period of pressure by the home side, the Millers missed the best chance of the half on 25 minutes. Danny Schofield found room in the penalty area after a cross from Tonge, but after his shot beat the out of position Jake Cole, Billy Gibson got back to clear Schofield’s effort off the line.

Argyle’s only real chance of the half fell to Luke Daley but his shot from 25 yards was over Logan’s crossbar.

Five minutes before the break the Millers were back on the attack. Schofield’s corner to the back post was missed by Cole, Michael Raynes powered in a header from eight yards but Durrell Berry cleared off the line.

37

The final chance of the half also fell to the Millers again from a Schofield corner. This time Raynes headed back across goal, but just beyond the unmarked Ryan Cresswell.

The home side started the second half strongly and were rewarded with the lead on 49 minutes.Former Millers loanee Will Atkinson picked the ball up on the left flank, danced inside and drilled a powerful low shot past Logan at his near post.

The Millers reacted in the best possible way, and a superb solo goal from Evans, on his full debut, levelled the scores.

The former Bradford man picked the ball up and carried it into the Plymouth area before drilling a low left-footed shot beyond Cole and into the bottom left corner.

The Millers sensed an opportunity and flooded forward to capitalise on their supremacy. Their endeavour was rewarded again on the hour mark with Evans again finding himself on the scoresheet. Le Fondre, so often the man on the end of the crosses, this time turned provider with a perfect centre, which Evans gleefully nodded beyond Cole from eight yards out.

Three minutes later and Evans sensed a hat-trick after good work by Taylor, but when about to shoot he was crowded out by a sea of Plymouth bodies.

The impressive Taylor was at the heart of the play again on 70 minutes, this time firing in a fierce drive from a Le Fondre cross, but he was denied a goal by a superb last ditch block by Berry.

The Millers persistence in attack was rewarded again eight minutes from time when Le Fondre made the game safe.

This time the provider was Schofield whose penetrating run through the heart of the Argyle defence was finished with a simple pass to Le Fondre, who coolly side footed in.

The performance was then capped with a fourth as the home side capitulated. After Conor Hourihane gave away possession needlessly on the edge of his own penalty area, sub Chris Holroyd found Taylor who laid the ball to Le Fondre for simple finish.

ROVERS NEWS 2011/12 ROVERS SUFFER HAMMER BLOW MATCH REPORT www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

The Rovers defended the South Stand end as they lined up against West Ham United for the first time in 53 years. Their only changes from Tuesday were Mustapha Dumbuya replacing Sam Hird and Giles Barnes starting in place of the injured Ryan Mason.

The Rovers set the game in motion and the first five minutes were spent by both teams sounding each other out.

Then in the 6th minute, Collison received the ball halfway inside the Rovers half on the visitors right and crossed to the far post. Both the Hammers and Rovers players left it to one another leaving NOLAN to steal in and plant it into the net. The next five minutes had the Rovers winning 2-1 on corners but nothing came from them. General midfield play followed until the 18th minute when Nolan found himself in space twenty yards out and, with Woods off his line, chipped the keeper but saw the ball hit the bar and then cleared. At the other end Brown scuffed a shot from the edge of the area for Green to save easily. Then minutes later and Bennett got a sight of goal but the sting was taken off the shot by a defender leaving Green the easy task of collecting the ball. A corner to the Hammers came in the 25th minute but Tomkins headed over the bar. The visitors were having the better of the territorial play and past the half hour won successive corners, which the Rovers defended well. Then a cross from Collison on the right was headed over by Taylor. The last ten minutes of the half was fairly sterile play, with the Rovers battling hard to make progress but having little success in the middle of the field. The break came with the Hammers holding their lead reasonably comfortably.

Article continues Advertisement The Rovers came out and after five minutes of indeterminate play began to have a better part in the proceedings. A couple of corners came to nothing and a free kick to the Rovers was headed wide by Friend. The West Ham defenders were getting their bodies in the way

to block crosses and shots but the Rovers were certainly having a good spell as they battled for a goal. Then in the 65th minute a West Ham break brought them a corner.

Although this was cleared they managed to keep the ball in the Rovers half. Nolan received the ball from a throw in on the right, got to the byline before crossing causing Woods to tip the ball over the bar. The corner was cleared out to Coppinger but his pull back across goal for Barnes wasn’t strong enough. However, Bennett recovered the ball and gave to Barnes, who fired over. Then a long ball out of the Hammers defence sent Cole clear down the right but his angled shot went into the sidenet. Back came the Rovers but their efforts foundered on the rocks that made up the Hammers defence whilst Green turned a cracking effort from Gillett round the post. The rovers had played well in the second half but all in vain leaving West Ham to take home the three points.

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2011/12 FIRST DEFEAT REACTION OWLS OF THE SEASON FOR OWLS ON SKY MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

Wednesday went down to their first defeat of the new campaign with a 2-0 reverse at Bournemouth.

Adam Barrett’s first half header and a low strike from Harry Arter late in the game proved the difference through a contest of few chances which the Owls shaded on possession but struggled to impact on the final third.

Going into the game on the back of two successive wins, Wednesday set off well on the south coast, enjoying the better of the ball through the early throes.

Liam Palmer sent a rising shot over the crossbar ten minutes in but the hosts soon responded with Marc Pugh’s free kick that curled narrowly wide.

Neither side could stamp any real authority on the contest as a tepid first half unfolded.

The first opportunity of note fell to Wednesday after some good work from Palmer, who played Clinton Morrison in down the left side of the penalty area but the striker sidefooted just wide of the post.

Lyle Taylor saw a snapshot deflected over the bar at the other end before Ryan Doble poked a half chance the same way.

That burst then set up Bournemouth for the opener six minutes before half time.

Byrne swung a deep corner to the far post and skipper Barrett climbed the highest to power a firm header past Nicky Weaver.

The Owls had a more purposeful look about them after the break and came close to levelling minutes after the restart when Jose Semedo headed over Lewis Buxton’s chipped cross.

Gary Megson introduced new recruit Chris Lines on the hour and Wednesday continued to have the upper hand.

Buxton got to the byline again on 65 minutes and fed Madine, whose glancing header flashed wide.

Bournemouth broke, though, and almost doubled their lead but for some stout defending from Rob Jones.

Weaver let slip a deep cross that was seized by Liam Feeney and the midfielder’s shot was bound for goal until captain Jones headed clear from the line.

With the clock ticking down, the Owls pressed on, with the danger of the Cherries striking on the counter - which they duly did on 82 minutes.

Feeney fed an advancing Arter in the area and the Bournemouth substitute drilled a hard low shot into the back of the net to secure victory.

GAFFERʼS REACTION www.swfc.co.uk

Gary Megson was disappointed with the Owls’ 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Wednesday boss said his side gifted the Cherries their first league win of the season which in turn was the Owls’ first defeat.

Goals either side of half time from Adam Barrett and Harry Arter sealed the points for Bournemouth.

Megson said: “I’m really disappointed because I thought we started the game well, had more of the ball, and looked the most dangerous.

“But we didn’t take the chances we created and the first goal is crucial in any game.

“We gifted Bournemouth their first goal with marking that was not like us and then we gifted them their second goal when we switched off and rolled the ball out of play and they scored after the resulting throw in.”

Megson took some positives, namely the way in which his side kept possession for long periods of the game, albeit without making the breakthrough in front of goal.

He added: “we played the ball around well, we showed a lot of purpose but we have to take our chances.

“We brought Chris Lines on in the second half because he is capable of getting a goal and I thought he did well. But I’m disappointed because we’ve now turned what would have been a really good start into an average start.

“Now we have to go to Bury and get a result before we play Notts County at Hillsborough.”

SHEFFIELD UNITED NEWS 2011/12 BLADES GO SECOND WITH HOME WIN MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk

Strike duo Jordan Slew and Richard Cresswell were on target as United got the home League One campaign off to a winning start.

The Blades had three teenagers in the starting XI and a debutant in Kevin McDonald but had too much firepower for visitors Brentford.

Slew scored just after the break and Cresswell added the second, sliding in at the back post, to make it two successive league wins for the Blades.

Despite only signing hours earlier, Scottish midfielder McDonald went straight into the starting line-up as chief Wilson made two changes from the midweek cup success over Hartlepool. Teenage striker Slew was also given a start but midfielders Williamson and Doyle dropped to the five-man bench.

The formation was a standard 4-4-2 with Slew joining Cresswell in attack and McDonald partnering skipper Montgomery in the middle of the park. The back four and goalkeeper remained unchanged for a third consecutive game.

McDonald was the first to chance his arm, firing over with just 90 seconds gone after the Blades had won a corner and the opening ten minutes was interesting.

Woodman’s shot was blocked by the head of Maguire but the home side looked bright early on.

From Simonsen’s bowl out on five minutes, Slew held off Logan and charged 60 yards down the left flank but his subsequent shot was into the sidenetting and then Quinn and Mendez-Laing linked up in the box but neither could get away a meaningful shot.

Jean-Francois was prominent as United were forced to defend for a period. He blocked McGinn’s shot with his face and was then caught in possession which led to Alexander heading just over the crossbar.

Quinn cut inside from the left but shot at goalkeeper Lee and then Collins headed over a McDonald cross as United looked to get back on top but just after the half hour mark there were two nervous moments. However, McGinn failed to hit the

target on both occasions.

On 37 minutes, United’s best chance of the half saw Mendez-Laing beat two players and feed Slew, whose neat turn secured a shooting chance. He was on target but Lee managed to claw away and then Cresswell and Quinn were both unable to convert rebounds.

Before the break Brentford’s Weston fired at Simonsen but both goals remained intact at the interval.

Brentford made a double substitution at the start of the second period but, with the first attack of the half, United went ahead.

Jean-Francois, Quinn and Cresswell were involved in the build up down the left before SLEW’s shot took a deflection off a defender to deceive goalkeeper Lee. Two minutes later the Kop thought United had added a second when Lowton managed to clip the ball home but referee Webb indicated that the defender had handled when controlling a pass from Montgomery.

Within moments, Lowton almost caught Lee off his line and then fellow defenders Jean-Francois, with a shot, and Collins, with a header, went close as United forced the visitors onto the back foot.

At the midway point of the half United made a double change, introducing Bogdanovic and Williamson, and the latter played a part in the Blades adding a second. He supplied Montgomery, who found Lowton and the prominent defender saw his shot-cum-cross forced over the line by CRESSWELL at the back post.

Cresswell’s next involvement was to pick up a booking, along with Osborne, for a minor altercation on the deck, whilst the closing minutes were played out a low tempo as the Blades put plenty of bodies behind the ball.

Brentford were allowed a spell of possession late on but a corner and a number of crosses failed to get them on the scoresheet as the Blades fans left a sunny Bramall Lane happy.

Blades: Simonsen, Lowton, JeanFrancois, Montgomery, Mendez-Laing (Williamson 67), Slew (Bogdanovic 67), Collins, Cresswell, Maguire, McDonald, Quinn.

Unused: Doyle, Tonne, Long.

Brentford: Lee, Woodman, Douglas, Donaldson (MacDonald 45), Weston, Logan, McGinn (Saunders 45), Osborne, Alexander (O’Connor 78), Legge, Reeves.

Unused: Eger, Moore.

WILSON ON SCOTTISH MIDFIELDER WIN GAFFERʼS REACTION www.sufc.co.uk

Danny Wilson spoke immediately after watching the Blades win their first home game of the season, 2-0 over Brentford.

“The players looked a little bit nervous at times; the game started very well for us, the fans got behind us really well and we looked good.

Although we let them back into the game towards half time, I always thought we had other gears and we stepped up in the second half.

“The belief is getting better and it is getting stronger. We have to build on it, not get complacent and expect to win every game. We can have a belief in what we have done so far which is win games. It is a good start; winning your first home game is very important it gives you a really good feeling.

“We deserved to win the game, the full backs got forward very well in the second half and we created a number of good opportunities which we took advantage of. The back five did very well indeed, and were delighted to keep another clean sheet.

“The supporters were fantastic again today. There are certain times during games when the fans will help you. When we first came out they were absolutely brilliant, then again when we started to put a few passes together they responded really well to that. They can see what we are trying to do and they are responding positively to that”.

The Blades’ next game is on Tuesday night, again at Bramall Lane, when they host Walsall in a League One match kicking off at 7:45pm.

SIGNS SUFC NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

The Blades have signed Kevin McDonald and he is likely to be involved in Saturday’s League One encounter with Brentford.

The former Dundee and Burnley midfielder has agreed a one-year deal with the Blades after impressing during a trial spell.

He played in the pre-season encounters against Doncaster and Blackpool and said: “I’ve been here quite a while on trial but I totally understood the situation and the manager spoke to me regularly.

“There are lots of quality midfielders here already but everyone likes competition. I want to play as much as possible, that is the immediate aim.”

McDonald, 22, is a former Scottish U21s international and as well as playing more than 100 times for Dundee and 50 games for Burnley, he had loan spells with Scunthorpe United and Notts County last season.
