The Owls won theire first home game of the season today (at last). Although it was against a 10-person Barnsley side.

Starslight · October 16th, 2006, 12:20 AM

They are now above Leeds, at this rate it will send Leeds down. Hope it satys that way.

Wednesday · October 16th, 2006, 11:11 AM

I don't want Leeds to go down, or Barnsley, or Hull for that matter

More derbies the better as we don't seem to be going anywhere

Bladerunner · October 16th, 2006, 12:02 PM

So much for Leeds being Yorkshire's biggest club. There were 10,000 more fans at Hillsboro on Saturday. And United are averaging almost 10,000 more than Leeds for every home game.

When the going gets tough, Leeds fans watch Man U instead.

lewisskinner · October 16th, 2006, 03:16 PM

We've always known that the best supported club in Yorkshire was Wednesday, and I'd imagine closely followed by the Blades.

Look at when Wendy were in League 2. Still getting gates of 24k, and regularly out-selling a Championship United!

paulmat · October 16th, 2006, 05:59 PM

Heard on the news today that the EIS is gonna be holding the National Indoor Athletics competition or sommat, and that theirs gonna be a Grand Prix at Don Valley.

paulmat · October 16th, 2006, 06:00 PM

Oh. I think I spent too long writing, and you snuck in before me :-P

lewisskinner · October 16th, 2006, 06:08 PM

Ha! I win

Vertighost · October 16th, 2006, 10:15 PM

It was on Look Leeds tonight. Next year EIS is going to get the European Indoor trails and Don Valley will finally get the British Grand Prix back.

Bladerunner · October 16th, 2006, 11:35 PM

Is that definate? If so it's great news!

paulmat · October 16th, 2006, 11:44 PM

I think is is definate. Yes.

Vertighost · October 16th, 2006, 11:44 PM

This is the only article I can find. Sheffield gets a small mention at the bottom.

skyfitsboy · October 16th, 2006, 11:45 PM

Anyone see this in the news, it did make me laugh!!

A twin sister pop duo have apologised for launching a foul-mouthed tirade at football fans during a derby match at Sheffield's Hillsborough stadium.
Francine and Nicola Gleadall, 18, hit back at away fans who jeered as they performed at half-time in Saturday's Sheffield Wednesday-Barnsley match.

One of the singers shouted obscenities which were amplified around the ground, while the other flicked V-signs.

The pair were arrested and issued with £80 fixed penalties, police confirmed.

It was on both Look North and Hallam FM

The 'British Grand Prix' link on the sporting life article takes you to an an article about Silverstone!

lewisskinner · October 17th, 2006, 02:09 PM

This is great news! All that needs to happen now is for some people to bother to trn up, and decent TV coverage wouldn't go amiss!

I liked the article about TWIN. Saw it yesterday on BBC South Yorkshire website. How is launching a tirade of four-letter words and making obscene gestures "A genuine mistake"? What, you opened your mouth and "fuck off you barnsley wankers" just popped out!?

soupçon · October 17th, 2006, 05:48 PM

I think they should be punished - send them round to chez soupcon for a good spanking.

Wednesday · October 17th, 2006, 06:16 PM

I was gutted, the first time I went for a bevvie at half-time and missed it

larven · October 19th, 2006, 05:21 PM

Sturrock's been sacked after the 4-0 drubbing by Colchester. Not looking good for the yorkshire teams in this league, my team Barnsley are still ahead of Wednesday even though we lost at Hillsborough last weekend.
