Wednesday In Need

'' Tonight sees the umpteenth Children in Need television extravaganza, but whilst you enjoy the feast of star studded entertainment, please do not forget that other needy cases exists.

On the outskirts of Sheffield there is a sports and social club in dire need of your help. Sheffield Wednesday have been in existence since 1867, but now face their biggest challenge.

After years of in-fighting and civil; boardroom; war the club has been left in turmoil and is penniless. Unable to meet bills from the Revenue and Customs, struggling with crippling debts, they can no longer stand on their own two feet, the club is about to collapse.

Every effort has been made to secure the future of this club, but sadly it is drifting into obscurity and financial ruin.

BUT, it doesn’t have to be this way, YOU can help, YOU can make a difference to this club.

Tonight, instead of sitting slothfully in front of the box with your debit card in one hand and the phone in your other, get yourself down to the Hillsborough Park Wheel Tappers & Shunters Social Club.

An evening of thrills is promised, all in an effort to raise money to pay the looming VAT bill which threatens the very existence of the club.

Opening the Evening will be 80’s popsters Black Lace. They have generously interrupted an important 30th birthday engagement at Mexborough Main Street Club to perform this evening, so unfortunately they can only play one number. You can decide what number they play, to vote call 09067 725 34

Calls will be charged at your standard network rate for satellite calls (£315 + VAT per minute), we promise that all VAT collected will be passed on to HMRC. Calls from mobiles will be significantly more extortionate. All profits will be used to try and keep the club in business.

In a rare move, BBC Radio Sheffield’s sports presenters have agreed to ask awkward and challenging questions to the region’s chairmen, and in a bold move they have agreed to not accept the initial spin, but to challenge and probe these reflections, like real journalists. Log on to bbc.co.uk/quid_a_question. The more quids, the more questions.

Lee Strafford will be spinning the disks in the Jockey Wilson suite, and as the evening gathers pace we will serve the all you can eat buffet in the Sir Steve Redgrave lounge, culminating in the service of the Sarah Lee gateaux. Our thanks go out to our friends at Iceland for their generosity.

The grand finale will be a firework (a firework) display. Jaden Scrotely has been gathering spare pennies from the self checkouts at the Tesco on West Street all summer. Weighed down by eight kilo’s of copper change he has bought the biggest air bomb-repeater he could, and it will be launched from his step dad’s back yard at some time after eleven pm. The timing is uncertain, as the launch has to coincide with the arrival of his step-dad’s ‘special’ parcel from the Middle East. Everyone, his step-dad’s ‘special’ friends included, should be able to see the firework for miles around.

The evening will close with a re-enactment of a post relegation pitch invasion and a police baton charge will bring the evening to a close.

We hope you all enjoy yourselves, please give generously and please support Wednesday In Need. ''
