Away from all the drama, I just want to wish Sheffield Wednesday luck in the play offs.

There is a story behind me wanting this to happen. A previous place where I worked I got on quite well with a guy called Tony who was a big Owls fan. Anyway he told me a story from when he lived in Sheffield in 1989. After the disaster there were loads of stranded LFC fans; some with no way home, some just too shocked to do anything.

Well Tony took a Liverpool fan under his wing and looked after him until he felt ready to go home.

He was a so humble about the whole thing and as he told me this story I felt like he didn't even realise how great a person he was or how kind he had been. He stayed in contact with them afterwards and they became good friends.

So for Tony, I hope the Owls soar back into the top flight. In fact for all their fans who are so accommodating of the memorial at the stadium and share in our pain. I'm sure there were many other people in Sheffield that day who provided support. Blades and Owls.

It would mean that we'd have an away day at Hillsborough. That would be a painful day.

The courts have ruled that the LFC fans were innocent since we were last there, Potato. I think it would provide an opportunity for us to find closure and a great chance for the club to honour the memorial. I agree though. It would be a difficult day.
