Free bus and tram travel pilot proposed for Sheffield

Thousands of children and young people in Sheffield could be offered free bus and tram travel next year under an ambitious new pilot aimed at opening up access to education, training, work, leisure and wider opportunities across the city. If approved, the pilot would run from 15 February 2027, the start of the February half-term, to 5 September 2027 and will be focused on Sheffield residents aged 5 to 18. The proposal has been developed in partnership with the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority and builds on learning from the Barnsley MiCard scheme. It is designed to remove transport costs as a barrier for children and young people, helping them

get to school, college, training, apprenticeships, jobs, sports clubs, leisure activities, cultural opportunities, and social events more easily. It would cover both buses and trams, reflecting strong feedback from young people in Sheffield who supported the inclusion of tram travel as part of any future scheme. Eligible children and young people would use a dedicated smartcard travel pass. To make it easier for young people, those who already have a Zoom, under-16 or 16-18 travel pass, will automatically receive a new pass, while others would be able to apply online through the MyTSY website. The pilot could also support greater independence for some

children and young people with SEND and would complement the Council’s Freedom to Travel – Skills for Life programme, which helps young people develop the skills and confidence to travel independently. The report, which is to go before Sheffield City Council’s Strategy and Resources Policy Committee on 2 September, says the proposal supports Sheffield City Council’s ambitions to reduce inequalities, improve outcomes for children and young people, and create a city where all young people can participate, contribute and thrive. Steve Kay, Director of Belonging at Sheffield City Council said last week: “This is an exciting proposal that could

make a real difference to children, young people, and families across Sheffield. We know that transport costs can be a real barrier, making it harder for some young people to access education, training, work, sports, leisure, and social opportunities. “We’re already seeing in Barnsley how much of a difference free travel can make. It’s helping young people get to college, see friends and family, and make the most of opportunities without worrying about the cost of getting home. “If approved, this pilot would give thousands more young people in Sheffield that same freedom and choice, helping them travel more independently and take part in more of what the

city has to offer. “Importantly, this is a pilot, which means we can test the approach, understand the impact, listen to young people and families, and use that evidence to inform future decisions. “This is exactly what the South Yorkshire People’s Network is about: breaking down barriers and creating a transport system that puts people first. “And while this pilot is an important first step, the ambition is to see free travel available to every young person across South Yorkshire, so wherever they live, they can access the opportunities, independence and connections that come from being able to stay near or go far.”

THE PRAT PACK STUMBLE IN TO SHEFFIELD CITY HALL THIS MONTH After decades of delighting on the telly and firmly entering National Treasure status, see the quartet as never before as they join forces as The Prat Pack! Taking to the road on a brand new UK tour inspired by the legendary Rat Pack, Brian Conley, Shane Richie, Bradley Wash and Joe Pasquale will be regaling audiences with a night of song, dance and banter.

Backed by a 15piece band and with Pasquale at the wheel of the tour bus, don’t miss what is sure to be a hilarious and feelgood evening as The Prat Pack stumbles into Sheffield City Hall on Wednesday 9th September. As four heroes of light entertainment, Brian Conley, Shane Richie, Bradley Wash and Joe Pasquale have been lighting up our screens for years, charming viewers with turns

in Eastenders, The Chase, I’m A Celeb and more with their cheeky chappy wit and waggish style honed from their early days entertaining in holiday camps across the country as Pontins Bluecoats (Conley, Richie and Walsh) and as a Warners Greencoat (Pasquale).

Bought my wife a fridge for her birthday. You should’ve seen her face light up when she opened it! Last night I watched a documentary on a guy who worked sixty hours a week crushing coke cans. It was soda pressing.

SOUTH YORKSHIRE GEARS UP TO GET MORE PEOPLE MOVING BY E-BIKE Mayor’s new e-bike scheme to create more routes to opportunity across South Yorkshire People in South Yorkshire will be able to hire e-bikes and take them home as part of a firstof-its-kind scheme being launched by Mayor Oliver Coppard. Other city-based schemes around the country generally see users booking bikes for short trips and needing to find suitable spots to drop them off. But the new South Yorkshire scheme will become the most flexible operation in the country ahead of its planned launch next spring. Part of the South Yorkshire People’s Network, it will make e-bikes cheaper and easier to access, giving people more freedom and choice in how they travel for regular journeys. South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard said: “The idea at the heart of the South Yorkshire People’s Network is that transport should work for everyone in South Yorkshire, giving us all freedom and choice about how we travel and move. “That’s why we’ve designed this pioneering new e-bike subscription service; because it’s not enough to simply build bike lanes and cycle networks, we need to give everyone the chance to use them. “So, from next spring, people across South

Yorkshire will be able to hire a new e-bike on a long-term loan, for an affordable monthly price. That’s potentially game changing for anyone who wants to make different travel choices but has been priced out up to now. “I’m proud to say we’re the first place in the country to develop this type of scheme, but I know we won’t be the last. South Yorkshire is leading the way again, putting the public back in public transport.” Backed by initial investment of £1.3m, the first 275 e-bikes are now out to procurement, helping to get the scheme rolling ahead of its planned launch in spring 2027. The scheme has been shaped by research showing how e-bikes can help people travel further and make everyday journeys easier, and data from the short-term loan schemes operating in Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield. With transport costs continuing to put pressure on households, the scheme’s flexible, first-ofits-kind tiered pricing model will help make sure cost does not put the brakes on opportunity. It forms a key part of South Yorkshire’s Walking, Wheeling and Cycling Strategy, supporting plans to make walking, wheeling and cycling more realistic, accessible options for more people. Further details on pricing, eligibility and how to sign up will be announced ahead of launch.

News, Information and Advice

check your heating now! time for a summer bike mot cash for homelessness Households are being urged to prepare their heating systems now after Ofgem confirmed energy prices will rise again just as Britain heads into the colder months. From 1 October, the energy price cap for a typical household paying by Direct Debit will rise from £1,663 to £1,723 a year. While electricity prices will remain relatively stable following the temporary removal of VAT, gas costs are driving much of the increase, with the average gas unit rate rising from 7.33p to 7.97p per kWh. Heating expert Rob Nezard says households should use the remaining warmer weeks to make sure they aren’t wasting the energy they will soon be paying more for. 1. Turn every radiator on before you actually need them Rob recommends running the heating before temperatures drop significantly. “Put the heating on and physically check every radiator. You’re looking for radiators that aren’t warming up, have cold areas or take significantly longer than others to heat. Doing this now gives you time to identify problems rather than discovering them when you actually need the heating.” 2. Feel the top and bottom of your radiators Where a radiator feels cold can provide a useful clue about what may be happening. “If a radiator is cold towards the top, trapped air could be preventing hot water from circulating through the whole radiator and it may need bleeding. If you’re repeatedly having problems, or the radiator remains cold after basic checks, that’s when it’s worth getting the system looked at rather than simply turning the thermostat higher.” 3. Bleed radiators before heating season Air trapped inside a radiator can stop it heating evenly. “Bleeding a radiator is one of the simplest bits of winter preparation, but people often wait until December to think about it. If you’ve got cold spots at the top of a radiator, deal with them before you’re relying on the heating every day.” 4. Check your thermostatic radiator valves Thermostatic radiator valves, or TRVs, allow households to control

individual radiators rather than heating every room in exactly the same way. “Walk around the house and check that your valves actually move and aren’t stuck after months of little or no use. Think about how you use each room too. A spare bedroom doesn’t necessarily need to be heated in exactly the same way as the living room you’re using all evening.” 5. Stop blocking your radiators One of the easiest changes costs nothing. “Radiators need to transfer heat into the room. Putting a large sofa directly in front of one can mean you’re heating the furniture before you’re effectively heating the space around it. ” 6. Stop the heat you’ve paid for escaping Improving how long a home retains heat doesn’t necessarily mean investing in expensive insulation. “One of the simplest things households can do is look at where heat is escaping. Draughts around doors and windows can quickly undo the work your heating system is doing. You don’t necessarily need to spend hundreds of pounds. Makeshift draught excluders can help, while closing curtains once it gets dark and shutting doors between rooms can keep the heat you’ve already paid for where you actually want it for longer. Before turning the thermostat up, look at whether you’re losing heat unnecessarily.” 7. Don’t dry clothes directly on your radiator As households begin drying more washing indoors during autumn and winter, Rob warns against covering radiators with clothes and towels. “Putting wet clothes or towels directly over a radiator can significantly restrict its ability to transfer heat into the room. You’re effectively covering the surface that’s supposed to be warming the space. If you need to dry washing indoors, give the radiator some breathing room. A laundry airer positioned nearby rather than directly covering the radiator allows heat to circulate more freely while still helping clothes dry. For towels, a suitable radiator towel bar can achieve the same thing by keeping the fabric away from the main surface of the radiator.”

As the school summer holidays come to an end, children’s bikes will have seen more use than at any other time of year. From cycling to the park and family bike rides to summer adventures on woodland trails and weeks of regular riding can leave bikes with everyday wear and tear. At the same time, many children experience noticeable growth over the holidays, meaning a bike that fitted perfectly in spring may now need adjusting before the new school term. To help families get ready for the new school term, parents are being encouraged to carry out a simple “Summer Bike MOT” this August – a quick 10-point safety check designed to make sure bikes are safe, comfortable and ready for more adventures throughout the summer and into the autumn. Covering everything from tyre pressure and brakes to helmet fit and checking children haven’t outgrown their bike, the checklist highlights the key safety checks every family can complete at home in just a few minutes. Inspired by the familiar vehicle MOT, the Summer Bike MOT helps families spot simple maintenance issues before they become bigger problems, while giving parents confidence that their child’s bike is ready to ride safely. The Summer Bike MOT Checklist • Tyres - check tyres are inflated to the recommended pressure and inspect the tread for cuts, excessive wear or embedded stones. Correct tyre pressure helps children ride more comfortably, improves grip and makes pedalling easier. • Brakes - squeeze both brake levers to make sure they stop the wheels quickly and smoothly. If the brakes feel loose, spongy or make unusual noises, they may need adjusting before your child heads out. • Bolts - check the handlebars, saddle and wheels are securely fastened. Give the bike a gentle shake - nothing should rattle or move unexpectedly before riding. • Chain - wipe away dirt after summer adventures

and apply bike lubricant if the chain looks dry or starts to squeak. A clean, lubricated chain helps the bike run more smoothly and reduces unnecessary wear. • Wheels - lift the bike and spin both wheels to check they rotate freely without rubbing the brakes or wobbling from side to side. • Saddle & Handlebars - children can grow quickly over the summer holidays, so check the saddle height and handlebar position still allow them to ride comfortably, confidently and reach the brake levers with ease. • Lights & Reflectors - as the evenings begin to get darker, wipe down reflectors and test front and rear lights so your child remains visible on late afternoon rides. • Helmet - a helmet should sit level on the head with a snug fit that doesn’t move when your child shakes their head. Check for cracks or damage and ensure the straps form a secure ‘V’ around each ear. . • Bell - check the bell rings clearly and is positioned where your child can comfortably reach it without taking their hands off the handlebars for long. • Bike Fit – one of the most important safety checks is making sure your child hasn’t outgrown their bike. They should be able to comfortably reach the pedals, handlebars and brakes while maintaining good control and confidence on every ride. Simon Timlett, UK Country Manager at woom, said: “A well-maintained bike doesn’t just last longer - it gives children the confidence to ride safely and enjoy every journey. Many of the most important safety checks only take a few minutes and can easily be carried out at home, helping parents spot small issues before they become bigger problems. Regular maintenance also helps children build good habits and understand the importance of looking after their bike.”

South Yorkshire is set to receive an extra £9 million over the next three years to help people move away from rough sleeping and homelessness and into safe, secure accommodation. The funding, which has been confirmed today, forms part of a new £442 million national package announced by the Government, supporting areas across England to provide emergency accommodation, longerterm homes and practical help with housing, health and other needs. The investment follows an earlier £9 million allocation to the region from Government in April, taking the total to £18 million for work on homelessness and supported housing across South Yorkshire. It will boost the work already underway through South Yorkshire’s Homelessness Task Force, bringing together councils, charities, public services, community organisations and people with lived experience to strengthen the region’s response. The programme will support the delivery of more settled homes over the next three years, accompanied by intensive wraparound support. The Task Force’s work is also being shaped by local services and people with direct experience of homelessness. This week, South Yorkshire’s Deputy Mayor Kilvinder Vigurs, met with the Changing Futures Co-production

and Peer Support service, commissioned by Sheffield City Council and delivered by South Yorkshire Housing Association. Following the visit the Deputy Mayor said: “Ending rough sleeping isn’t just about providing a bed for the night. It’s about helping people feel safe, secure and supported, and making sure nobody is left to face life’s challenges alone. That helps build safer, stronger communities for everyone. What we heard from people with lived experience was clear. A home matters, but so do friendship, purpose and the right support around you. Too many people are still passed between services or blocked from moving forward by their past. Peer support can make a huge difference because it brings trust, understanding and hope. I welcome the Prime Minister’s commitment to ensure every rough sleeper is offered a route off the streets this winter. Here in South Yorkshire, we’ll use the further £9 million to build on the work of our Homelessness Task Force, strengthen support and help more people find not just a safe place to live, but a real chance to rebuild their lives.” The new measures announced by the Government combine immediate action to help people off the streets this winter with longer-term accommodation and support intended help people build a more stable future.

A stronger long-term financial outlook for Sheffield has been set out by the Council, alongside plans to address short-term budget pressures. Reports due to be considered by the Strategy and Resources Committee on 2 September set out the Council’s updated Medium-Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) and the latest budget monitoring position for 2026/27. The updated MTFS covers the period from 2027/28 to 2030/31 and shows a significantly improved financial position compared with previous forecasts. The Council’s mid-case forecast identifies a budget gap of £10.4 million by 2030/31, compared with funding gaps that were previously expected to be closer to £70 million over a similar period. The improved position reflects expected benefits from national funding reforms, robust financial management, updated forecasts of future demand and ongoing transformation through the organisation’s Future Sheffield programme. The strategy assumes delivery of £66.6 million of savings through Future Sheffield, which is designed to modernise services, improve efficiency and help ensure the long-term sustainability of council services. Alongside the longerterm strategy, the Council’s Quarter 1 budget monitoring report shows a forecast overspend of £8.35 million in 2026/27. The

report highlights that much of the current pressure is linked to delays in delivering planned savings from prior years and transformation activity, rather than widespread increases in service demand. Recovery actions are already underway across a number of service areas. The reports also highlight the importance of investing in transformation, protecting essential public services and using reserves in a planned way to support long-term sustainability. Philip Gregory, the Director of Finance, explained: “These reports show that Sheffield is in a much stronger financial position than we have seen for a number of years, thanks to careful financial management, improved funding certainty and the work we are doing through Future Sheffield. While we still face challenges and there is more work to do, the scale of the financial gap we need to close is significantly smaller than previous forecasts. We are also being honest about the pressures we continue to face this year. The Quarter 1 report shows where further action is needed, particularly around delivering planned savings and transformation programmes. Our focus remains on protecting vital services, investing in long-term improvements and making sure the Council is financially sustainable so we can continue delivering for Sheffield’s residents.”

New plans announced for once-popular sheffield ski village A comprehensive plan to transform the former Ski Village site in Sheffield into a new outdoor leisure and adventure hub has

been announced ahead of the upcoming public consultation process. The initiative is being led by Skyline Enterprises, a

company based in New Zealand that specializes in adventure tourism and visitor experiences. A planning application for the plan is anticipated to be submitted by the end of the year. Pending approval, the development will proceed in several stages. The initial phase will feature Skyline’s renowned gravity-fed downhill karting (Skyline Luge), a chairlift, an indoor educational attraction, a café and terrace with views of Sheffield, a large outdoor plaza open to

the public, a family-friendly playground, and a customer parking area. Subsequent phases are planned to include a zipline adventure and a surf wave experience. Long-term plans also aim to bring back dry ski slopes at Parkwood Springs, honoring the site’s skiing history. Existing walking and mountain biking trails will either be preserved or relocated as needed. Geoff McDonald, CEO of Skyline Enterprises, stated: “Today is about starting a conversation. We’re excited to share our latest proposals with the city and want to

hear from local people, businesses and community groups about our plans and understand what matters most to them. “We see Sheffield as a perfect partner and believe the Parkwood Springs project has the potential to become one of the UK’s most distinctive outdoor leisure destinations, helping to further enhance Sheffield’s visitor offer, support the local economy and create new jobs.” The public consultation on these proposals will run until Sunday, 20 September, offering residents, businesses, and

stakeholders the chance to review and provide feedback. Additionally, two drop-in events will be held:

• Wednesday, 9 September (4-7.30pm) at Heist Brew Co. in Neepsend • Thursday, 10 September (3-7pm) at Shirecliffe Community Centre A separate consultation is also underway regarding the new access road between Oakham Drive and Vale Road, as well as planned upgrades to the Rutland Road junction, managed by Sheffield City Council.

It was the Beat of a Generation & the Sound of a Nation. Made in Motown aim to recreate the classic music & sounds of Detroit during the 1960s & 70s. The band comprises of high quality musicians dedicated to recreating authentically the “Sounds of the Motor City”, fronted by the incredible talents of the band?s three female vocalists. If your a fan of Martha Reeves, The Temptations, Supremes, The Marvelettes, Marvin Gaye & many more Motown legends, then this is a show not to be missed. Sit back & enjoy the songs that were “Made in Motown”.

Coronation Street: Gemma informs Bernie that Celeste has passed away and left behind some worrying news for the family. What did Celeste tell Gemma? Todd carries out Celeste’s wishes and throws a remembrance party in the hotel bar. With Celeste’s family assembled, Todd reads out a message from Celeste. Jodie overhears Bethany organising a date and can’t resist making a scathing comment. Bethany is quick to shut Jodie down, but Jodie gets her own back by proposing a date to Kit. Things worsen for Debbie when she relives her hairdressing past and arrives at the salon to work. Nina invites her friends for farewell drinks in the Rovers ahead of her departure. Before she leaves, she shares a moment with Abi in Seb’s memorial garden.

Emmerdale: In the interview room, Thea’s line of questioning becomes personal and she enjoys inflicting emotional pain on someone. The truth about her relationship with this person becomes clear in a flashback! Does she have a connection to the Tates? On the day of Dr Todd’s funeral, Charity brings the family together for a meal, to try and take Sarah’s mind off things. But they’re interrupted by the arrival of DS Ramsden, who takes Charity to the station for questioning. Serena panics when she hears that Sarah wants to tell the police everything and could get them all locked up. Something big weighs on Gabby’s mind after the wedding disaster. What is she hiding and will a guilty conscience make her confess? Eastenders: Nicola’s sisters Gemma and Jodie return to Albert Square. Nicola agrees to let them stay on one condition – their estranged mother Rose doesn’t turn up as well. Despite the promise, Ned – Gemma’s husband – soon turns up with Rose, leaving Nicola furious. She then gets a further shock when she learns that Alfie has offered Gemma and Ned a place to stay. The Hawkins family later hatch a risky plan to resolve things between Nicola and Rose, but it just makes everything worse. However, Nicola soon learns the real reason why the Hawkins have arrived in Walford. Priya ends up telling Penny that she is pregnant but swears her to secrecy. When Max walks Priya home that evening, they share a moment outside her home, which is witnessed by Ravi. As Linda prepares for her date with Clive, she is left torn over her true feelings when she learns how Max played a key role in saving the community centre.

WILDER HAPPY ENOUGH WITH ANOTHER POINT ON THE BOARD

United manager Chris Wilder conceded his side weren’t at their best, as the Blades came away from Cardiff with a 2-2 draw. The Blades were behind early to a Jack Moylan strike but quickly responded to level through a Tom Cannon penalty and then take the lead thanks to Callum O’Hare with all three goals coming within seven minutes. Cardiff levelled before the break after a Cian Ashford strike and hit the bar in the second half as the Blades fought hard to take a point back to South Yorkshire. After the game, Wilder said: “Not at our best, but there’s many a time where we’ve played a lot better than that and come away with nothing. And Championship football, as it was, absolute bonkers start, which it was. We could have been out of sight in the first 10 or 15 minutes, but we’ve got to give the opposition credit.

They got a head of steam up, and as you imagine, Brian (Barry-Murphy), knowing him, will be disappointed that he’s not put us to bed. As I said, I’m not going to be embarrassed by getting a result. “We’ve had to change a couple of things around at half-time to try and give ourselves a better opportunity of getting more control of the game, but as I’ve said before, you don’t have control of the game if you keep turning the ball over. The amount of times we’ve turned the ball over with some real good players out there, some good technical players. We want to pass it. We want to keep possession. We want to control games. We want to move teams around. We want to create chances, but if we keep turning the ball over, it’s going to come back at you with a bit of interest, and

credit to them it did.” There were some plusses for Wilder with Kalvin Phillips getting more minutes and Rhys Norrington-Davies also making an impact from the bench. Wilder added: “Kalvin came on and gave us a bit of stability and a bit of calmness, and so did Jairo (Riedewald). “It’s not the best performance that we’ve ever put in, but this is Championship football. We’ve had two long away trips and sandwiched with a midweek away trip there. The players looked not at their sharpest. They looked a little bit leggy, so I’ve got to take that into consideration. I will review it. I’ve got it in my head already where we’re at. Some boys have pushed themselves right forward to start on Tuesday. “I’ve got to say, I think Rhys (Norrington-Davies) has been outstanding. Come on again today, so he’s pushed himself right into our thoughts.”

OWLS MAGNIFICENT SEVEN

Wednesday powered past Bromley to record a comprehensive win every bit as dominant as the 7-2 score suggests. The foundations were set in a dominant first half display that swept the visitors aside – Callum Slattery, Mason Burstow and Jamal Lowe all on target. That made for an academic second period, at the start of which the Owls put the contest to bed with a quickfire Louie Barry double. Lowe and Gabriel Otegbayo claimed two more in the closing stages before Victor Adeboyejo hit two late consolations for the overcome visitors. An explosive opening saw Henrik Pedersen’s men fly from the traps and twice they could have scored before Slattery struck.

Grant McCann believes Rovers deserved more for their second half display at Stevenage at the SPORTA Arena on Saturday, after they were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw in Hertfordshire. After a tight opening 45 minutes, Rovers fell

Billy Mitchell broke and found Barry in space but Shamal George dashed off his line to deal with the danger. George came to the rescue again moments later, this time acrobatically tipping over Burstow’s improvised overhead kick. A goal was coming and duly arrived on six minutes. Slattery began the move and finished it, calmly slotting Barry’s low cross into the far corner. It was one-way traffic and Wednesday doubled the lead just past the half-hour mark. Lowe fed Burstow on the edge of the box and the finish was precise and out of George’s reach. The Ravens had no answer to the relentless pressure and conceded a third on the stroke of

half time. Slattery slipped in Lowe down the right of the area and the latter slammed accurately past George. Bromley welcomed the whistle for the break and made a triple change in a bid to reverse the flow – but to no avail as Barry bagged a brace straight after the restart. First, the forward played a neat give and go with Barry Bannan before bursting into the box to fire home. With Wednesdayites still celebrating, Burstow picked out Barry in space and his snapshot from close range bulged the back of the Kop net. The Owls were hungry for more and George did well to palm away a Bannan daisycutter, Lowe was inches away from his own double and Kieran Morrison curled one over

the top. There was no stopping the rampant hosts and Lowe did get his second on 72 minutes. The Jamaican international collected from Barry and after twice being thwarted by George, netted at the third attempt. Wednesday continued to press and it was 7-0 ten minutes from time. Morrison sent a delicious cross to the back stick, where Otegbayo was unmarked to nod home. Maybe the Owls took their foot of the gas as the game neared its conclusion and Bromley pulled two back through Adeboyejo. The substitute scored from the spot with six minutes to go after being fouled by Jarvis Thornton, then promptly glanced a header past a

wrong-footed Joe Lumley following an unfortunate Otegbayo deflection. Owls boss Pedersen said after the game: “I enjoyed a lot the beginning of the game, how we put the discipline and the intensity in all the basic things to win a battle like this today. “We were strong in the duels, we were strong in the second ball, we were strong in the fight in the second ball, and we were strong when we came on the ball after the second ball. We knew there would be a lot of long balls, but how we handled this situation with so much discipline, with so much power, to take the strength out of them, I’m really happy for this.”

behind against the run of play when Josh Magennis scored, but the visitors showed great character to turn the game around through a stunning longrange strike from Jack Senior and a first of the season for skipper Owen Bailey. Rovers were forced to settle for a share of the spoils when Oliver Sanderson equalised with eight minutes remaining and despite admitting he was frustrated to see his side leave with only a point after such a strong second half display, McCann believes his team are making positive steps.

He said: “I thought we should have won the game, the start of the second half was brilliant. The first goal Stevenage scored was disappointing from our point of view, but the response was outstanding. “So it is frustrating to come away with a draw but, I think in the long run it will be seen as a decent point when we look back at it, because it is a really tough place to come. “It was difficult, particularly in the last 10-15 minutes. The ball wasn’t moving very well, but I thought we managed that okay. “We kept it in their half

and managed to sustain a lot of the attacks they came at us with. They are dangerous at set-pieces, and have been for many years, but for 95% of the time today we defended well. “The fans were amazing

and I referenced them to the players before the game and at half time. I think they saw a team fighting for the club, and we all really wanted to send them back with three points we thought we deserved.”
