FARGATEOWL

No wonder it costs so much. Reinforcements brought in from Durham police. Probably 100 or so plus vans etc. Overtime, mileage, grub etc. etc. all out of the people of Sheffields council tax. It just seems like overkill. I've been to every derby for 30 years and the policing gets more high profile every year and there are there very few incidents. Nothing compared to the recent events at the horse racing for instance.

So if you have travelled all over the country watching the owls you will be behind the 1867 club members who have attended a couple of aways who have the extra 230 points. It's basically not fair on our loyalist fans who might not have the spare cash to stump for a Premier league season ticket iou. Also who writes our communications? Massive amount of confusion over this latest proposition.

From what I've seen of him on BBC Sportscene which is the equivalent of MOTD up there he looks a liability in Hibs back four so wouldn't have thought he was up to Championship standard. Ponderous, poor distribution etc. There are good young defenders up there but not him.

I know an old fella who knows him well from when he was with mufc and he always said he was an absolute diamond. Was popular in the local community and always in the local boozer.

Just been seen on Fargate doing a bit of shopping with his wife ( presumably )

I was told on Saturday that the Chairman's father was paying the day to day costs of the club.

Excessive use of irony in a Owlstalk thread will possibly lead to ridicule

I know a couple of students that came to university in Sheffield and loved the city so stayed on after their studies were finished. Both are season ticket holders with their kids so It is an opportunity to grow the support base. Unfortunately I feel the asian students ( of which there are thousands ) will not be interested in anything other than Premier league.

Non league day on Saturday. Give your local Non league side a bit of support. Many have offers like letting you in for free on production of your SWFC season ticket. But please buy a half time draw ticket and a programme to at least contribute a bit to club funds. Me. I'm off to watch Frickley.

Nicknamed the 'Ginger Pirlo' at Brentford

As a season ticket holder I would have thought that unless you normally can't get to a game but spend a fortune in the club shop there's no benefit from membership. If I wasn't a season ticket holder I'd probably just ignore the membership option and pay the extra £ 5 for Leeds and the blades. It's not as if we are selling out games on a regular basis is it ?

Dearer than the old firm match ? I find that hard to believe.

Stopped buying every match years ago. Just buy one for the blunts matches, play offs, finals etc. And the last game of the season. Can see it happening but would be the end of an era.

I used to have a 2005/6 away shirt signed by the squad for the Watford away game. Included Gabby Agbonlahor when he was on loan. Gave it away for a auction raising funds for Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice. Think it made £ 60.00 for a good cause.

We should have beaten Watford the other year in their celebration game. Alas the referee bottled it in injury time. Still upset their day so it would be nice to do it to Wolves.
