Get yoursens down to Barkers Pool tomorrow

<div class="ds-firstpara" id="ds-firstpara">Wednesday fans were today urged to join Sheffield United's battle to overturn their Premiership relegation.</div><div class="va-bodytext" id="va-bodytext">As a delegation from Bramall Lane prepares to take their protest to the Houses of Parliament, where nearly 50 MPs have signed an early-day motion calling for Bryan Robson's side to be reinstated in the Premier League, United have unveiled details of a city-centre rally designed to coincide with tomorrow's visit to Westminster.

And Sheffield United fans leader Richard Batho wants to see Owls supporters join them in a rare show of unity.

Tomorrow's event, which is scheduled to start around 1pm at Barkers Pool, will enable those fans not travelling to London to protest loudly but peacefully against the FAPL's failure to deduct West Ham points for a serious breach of transfer regulations during the 'Carlos Tevez Affair' - a decision which United argue cost them their top-flight place.

An independent arbitration panel is scheduled to begin investigating the matter next week and ,as the media spotlight once again prepares to focus on a matter which threatens to plunge English football into chaos, United know that a big turnout would place even more pressure on the FAPL.

Batho, spokesman for influential fans group BIFA, says the issue bridges the region's partisan divides.

&quot;Hopefully fans from both clubs - United and Wednesday - will turn out because this has the power to affect everyone,&quot; he said. &quot;The more people who turn out, the better. We need to get across the message that football fans in general aren't prepared to stand by when something like this happens.

&quot;United supporters must attend in numbers but it would be great to think that everyone from the region, whether they follow us, Wednesday, Roth-erham, <div id="ds-mpu"></div>Barnsley, Doncaster or Chesterfield, will also lend us their backing. It really is that important.&quot;

Earlier this month The Star delivered a dossier of complaints from readers to the FAPL. Despite their refusal to accept the material in person, a Blades supporter has received confirmation that FAPL chief executive Richard Scudamore has taken possession of it.

Meanwhile, Mark Fenoughty, United's chief operating officer, has resigned from the board of directors. He will be replaced by Simon Capper, finance director of United Scarborough Estates.
Robbie Savage's &pound;40,000-a-week wages will prevent United signing him from Blackburn Rovers.

I have always believed that..

.. there's nowt better than an early-day motion ff

 

Now why would any Championship club want to support that?

There's still a risk that promotion from the Championship would be affected the following year so you'd be shooting yourself in the foot by getting involved.

 

Subject: Now why would any Championship club want to support that?

Because Wist 'Am will bring far more to Oakwell than the Blunts, thus increasing our revenue. I remember 1999.

 

You could well end up without either

21 club Prem, only 2 up from Championship in 2007-2008. That's the money-making scenario for the top clubs.

 

snowballs will be partying in hell

before that happens

 

I hope you're right

But personally I never overlook the possibility of BFC get shafted at every turn.

 

sounds like a good nite out on a country road....

but i can see what your sayin. have a little optomism tho. i for one see the blunts joining leeds next year due to all this "tevezgate" furore. that an the fact theyve got Bryan "im nowt like bobby" Robson in charge

 

I won't believe the Blunts are relegated

Until we've stuffed them at Fortress Oakwell.

(Optimistic enough for ya?)

Eh ?

&quot;We need to get across the message that football fans in general aren't prepared to stand by when something like this happens.&quot;</p>

? ? ? ? ? ? ? </p>

So they are not prepared to accept the fact that you can play like muppets for the last ten games of an already mediocre season under a clueless, arrogant lovely person of a manager (I use the word lightly) and thus end up at the level you have been proved over the course of said season to bedeserving of?</p>

Maybe we should go ! Prepare ourselves for possible (probable under Davey, some may say) consequences of this coming seasons performances.</p>

&quot;We were sh*t - let us stay up like you did the Blunts&quot;</p>

(clap) </p>

 

What a bunch of losers. I'm sick of United and this whole Tevez thing and am starting to hate them more than Wednesday. If they'd scored more than eight away from home they wouldn't have gone down on the first place-tossers

 

I have that 'feelin in mi watter'

That they may just win their case. But what a bloody injustice.

 

RE: I have that 'feelin in mi watter'

Justice would have been for WHU to have had points deducted like the 'little' clubs. Could you see BFC getting away with it? I don't think so.
