‘Pay peanuts ……….’

Even China changed its one per couple rule. They allow two now. would buying two scarves be ok?

How representative is this group I wonder. I’ve no idea how many members there are, so 68% of a number we don’t know is pretty meaningless. I’ve tried to find out but saw this; ’Wednesdayite is viewed as a legacy group that continues to represent a section of long-standing supporters. As of 2025, it maintains a presence via its website and social media, but does not publicly publish membership figures.’

A bit like the chant in the 80’s; ‘United, The miners, Will never be defeated’ Oh, on second thoughts perhaps not……

Just arrived!

From the BBC website.

I’ll join in. This is after tonight’s match.

Going cheap!

No. Preston had 20 points after 10 games. They got a further 36 points to finish tenth. Owls got a further 42 points. As I said, if DR ‘performed a miracle’, Ryan Lowe did OK.

Preston paid less than £80 a week more and finished tenth. If DR ‘performed miracles’, Ryan Lowe did OK too.

Six Sheffield Wednesday players hand in notice over unpaid wages 02 July 2025 9:14pm BST Professional Footballers’ Association has branded the situation ‘shocking’ and ‘not tolerable’ with club labouring under a transfer embargo Sheffield Wednesday fans have staged several protests against owner Dejphon Chansiri. Sheffield Wednesday’s crisis has deepened with six players handing in their notice after wages were not paid, Telegraph Sporthas been told. With the head of the Professional Footballers’ Association, Maheta Molango, describing the situation at Hillsborough as “shocking” and “not tolerable”, it has emerged the clutch of first-team players have asked to leave. Owner Dejphon Chansiri has not paid salaries on time or in full for May and June, with no public explanation and the club are already under a transfer embargo with restrictions on signing players. It can also be revealed that hopes of the Football League stepping in to pay wages are remote as Chansiri still owes many other clubs for transfer payments and contingencies, preventing the EFL from solving the pay row. Southampton are understood to be due money from midfielder Shea Charles’s loan fee and salary last season. Telegraph Sport also understands Norwich City are owed money for centre-back Akin Famewo, who moved to Hillsborough in July 2022. A deadline for payment was missed again last month. As Chansiri battles to avoid full-scale mutiny, with staff also unpaid, highly-rated manager Danny Röhl is also believed to be closing in on an agreement on a severance package after two seasons at the crisis club. Röhl has held talks with his coaching staff and informed them that he will be leaving, following negotiations over a settlement. Henrik Pedersen, one of Röhl’s assistants, is in line to land the No 1 job if he receives certain assurances. Wednesday have already been hit with restrictions over the next three transfer windows for exceeding 30 days of late payments between July last year and this June. An independent commission is to decide on potential punishment for non-payments of wages, but a points deduction for the forthcoming season appears inevitable.

I thought they were the first new signing of the summer!

BBC Radio Sheffield was the second BBC local radio station,[2] launching on 15 November 1967 and broadcasting from a large Victorian house in Westbourne Road in the Broomhill area of the city. Until the mid-1980s, the station was generally on air from the morning until the early evening, with any programming after 6 pm devoted to specialist music and magazines aimed at minority interests and ethnic communities. These programmes did not broadcast all year round. In August 1986, evening programmes began on a permanent basis when the station joined with the other three BBC stations in Yorkshire to provide an early evening service of specialist music programmes on weeknights from 6 pm to 7:30 pm, extending a year later to six days a week (Wednesday to Monday) between 7 pm and 9 pm with Tuesdays reserved for local sports coverage. Just under two years later, on 29 May 1989, the BBC Night Network launched, which saw the BBC local radio stations in the North East and Yorkshire broadcasting networked programming every evening from 6:05 pm (6 pm at the weekend) until midnight, extending to 12:30 am in the early 1990s, and to 1 am by the end of that decade. Spring 1989 also saw BBC Radio Sheffield launch Ten-35. This was a weekend service of programmes for the county's ethnic minority communities and was broadcast on the station's MW frequency, hence the name of the strand. Radio Sheffield had provided programmes for the Asian and black communities for many years,[3] but the new service saw the launch of programmes for many other communities. The service was broadcast on Saturday and Sunday evenings between 6 pm and midnight, although the Sunday programming was brought forward to 2:45 pm to 8:30 pm in around 1991 and was called Ten-35 Sunday. Over time, the service was dismantled and eventually programming for minority communities was again focused on the county's black and Asian communities.
