Owls fans join in takeover talks
THE next stage of the Sheffield Wednesday takeover saga will be played out at Hillsborough today with fans' group Wednesdayite set for talks at the club.
The fans' group have been invited down by the club and it is likely that the club's other major shareholders, director Geoff Hulley, former director Keith Addy and ex-chairman Dave Allen, will be involved in discussions over the next stage.
Geoff Sheard, the Lancashire-based businessman who has been fronting the takeover bid will not be at the meeting. He watched Wednesday at Reading last night.

There is speculation that today's meeting will aim to look at prompting some real and definite progress with the takeover, possibly looking at giving the Sheard camp a deadline to conclude matters.
Wednesdayite, who voted six weeks ago to sell their shares to Sheard subject to certain conditions, say they welcome today's meeting.
