KivoOwl Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 F*ck me... http://www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2015/news/outraged-football-fan-accuses-daily-of-poor-journalism-over-april-fool-story/ While most readers were able to spot the myriad April Fool stories littered throughout the regional press, one outraged football supporter clearly didn’t see the funny side. Sheffield daily The Star ran a story claiming that Sheffield Wednesday would be forced to play matches at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane stadium next season due to their own stadium at Hillsborough being repaired. Incensed reader Lee Hicklin took to The Star’s Facebook page to claim there was “no way this will happen†and accuse the newspaper of “poor journalismâ€. Despite several fellow readers reminding him of the date, the penny refused to drop for Lee – as can be seen in the following exchange posted on Twitter by Dave Jones, political columnist at The Star’s sister weekly the Sheffield Telegraph. The Star later revealed the hoax, with a statement on its website adding the story had caused debate among both sets of fans as to what they would thing if a ground share should ever come to fruition. It read: “Okay, we had a little bit of fun this morning with our story about Sheffield Wednesday temporarily moving to city rivals, United’s Bramall Lane home while their pitch is being fixed up. “However, though it was a joke, the article did cause some debate on social media and football forums about what fans would think if it were to become a reality.†After the exchange, Lee tweeted Dave to admit his posts had “backfiredâ€.
