Yes you have read it right, those with serious heart complaint should sit down. In fact when you see who I am praising everyone should sit down, and no I'm not on any drugs!

Oh and a quick message to the mods, this is not in the wrong section as it's not football related! (not that they will bloody listen anyway)

As a Bradford City fan, you tend not to get fans from other clubs praising another club. But on this occasion I would like to praise Sheffield Wednesday on what they are doing for probably their oldest fan tomorrow.

It goes to show, that now new people are in the boardroom, that the club are trying to get back it's "community" fan base. I'm sure that now that teh club have a board that understands the fans, and are trying to change years of decay that the fans will start coming back.

You still won't get me going unless Bradford are playing, but glad to see JJ enjoying himself!

Yeah, as a blade I have to say previous piggy boards have not given 2 turds. They wanted half the money for a beamback of a Derby game when they know we were donating all the money to Rotherham to stop them going under!!! I know Lee a little and he's there best shot of doing what I fear most!

Correct me if i am wrong but not so long ago the same thing happened with an old lady who was about 100,I was at the game and it was in the star too.So if i am right it has nothing to do with the new board but i do agree its the best thing to happen for wednesday for a long time and hopefully the good times are not far away.

Course not. I take the animosity from Owls and Blades fans witha pinch of salt (and that from Bantams fans too, WYorksDeano if you're reading). Personally, I'd love to see the top flight full of Yorkshire Clubs, from Middlesborough in the North, to Hull and Sheffield in the South and all clubs in between. Derby matches are always great and passionate affairs.

Down with the London clubs, down with the Lancastrian hordes! Up with Yorkshire!

I don't expect those sentiments will be reciprocated. :roll:
