With you mostly-but feel I need to point out we played at the Lane 89/90 pre season friendly (so July/Aug 1989), 0-0 draw Carlton sent off for kicking Booker, first time I saw Dalian …in the context of Mix Tape, it being a preseason friendly also explains why Owls fans walked into turnstiles without being hit or spat at / abused….bit pedantic, but justifies the script…don’t think the writers considered this as much as I have …. I also bored my wife senseless when we watched this last night…I’ll watch the rest now!!!

Personal favourite-Dalian (RIP) Ignoring personal preference, it’s Waddle, Nilsson, Sheridan, Palmer, Hirst-God, I was lucky to be 20…Terry Curran & Lawrie Madden run these close, but different level I think…

PAYE/NI is due 20th-22nd monthly, VAT (assuming quarterly) will be due 7th May…suspect we’re going to have issues later this month…

Quality man, quality manager-such a missed opportunity…big shame & big heartbreak if/when he leaves this summer…will be so happy for him when he lifts the Champions league with Bayern in 5 years… Different level, but similar emotion-so happy for DM today winning at Walsall-a manager who brought dignity & class back to our club after so many years of crap (which is no doubt what we have to come now!)

Bit like Wilder’s Hull brother rant-Housemartins fan by any chance ?!? but actually some fair comments made..ownership issues really screw us real fans don’t they !!!

Gutted…Actually deserved to win…poor first 20, but no lack of effort there, just a lack of quality where it really matters-story of the season unfortunately…2 big late saves from their keeper, & to be fair a great header after a pretty good 2nd half from us…ruined another weekend !!! Love this club, always have, always will-just wish we would all pull together now

Thanks mate-yes, forgot about the rugby-found a couple of sports bars so will see what can be done…fingers crossed for a win UTO !!

Anyone know of anywhere to watch match tomorrow - Jandia region fueteventura ? Muchos Gracios….

I'm with you here - I remember being very harsh on Eustace at the time (Zico up front !?!), but my dad told me Peter Eustace was a fantastic graceful player for us back in the day (one of the best) & as you say, a key part of Wilko's management staff. A true Owl through & through deserving of respect & love from us all - sorry to hear he's unwell...(Not a number 1 clearly, but also in his favour, the shambolic period led to the arrival of Big Ron !!)

Who is the lender ? Isn’t it actually DC himself in reality?

Icky, Dom & Famewo…yes, it is one of our issues for sure..Bamboo & Momo were potentials (& Bambo seemed to be a big plus in the dressing room to me (& a much better player than given credit for, but did lose his head a few times)… But Gary Megson ?!? In the trenches-really? Shelton, maybe, Mel Sterland, yep ! Mick Lyons, Nigel Pearson…& number 1 : Lawrie Madden…(would also be good in a pub quiz..clever bloke as well as as hard as they come)…

Heartwarming post mate - strip away all the nonsense & this is what football's really about. Coincidentally, I took my daughter & her bf to her first home match yesterday - she's an Owl (4th gen), he's a hammer..........Fantastic day, we all loved it - great to get the win, cracking atmosphere.....just loving the joy Poveda exudes in his play - looks quality (& the way he celebrates every goal - early days I know, but he seems to be a throwback to different times).. Guess we all know what's coming at Rotherham - it's the hope that kills you as an Owl !! But good to see & feel such optimism & the love for DR really feels ssomething special Hope yesterday was the first of have many great Wednesday times with your daughter !

Thanks, this is helpful - noted re. £6.5m being rolled over since 20/21. Would be interested to know who the debt provider is (though in the grand scheme of things, there maybe bigger issues re. SWFC finances to be concerned about !)

Don't think the £6.5m is external debt (& it was short term in July 2022 anyway, repaid now ?). Trying not to get too dry or dull (& probably failing) , Note 13 in latest accounts states ""Included in Other creditors is an amount of £6.5m for which DC & Sheffield 3 act as guarantors" - almost certainly connected / related. The £0.9m annual interest likely to be for the larger borrowing from DC (If it is external, it's a pretty expensive loan so would be interested who the 3rd Party is) Regardless of the £0.9m interest, still seems SWFC in 2023, & currently may actually be close to being profitable.

Don't think there are any third party loans ? No external debt - all borrowing is from DC
