geared Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 hmm sheffield and proud...except when it came to help trying to save her "beloved" don valley stadium along with seb coe and his "legacy" shame on them. i've met her and her coach and went to school with her coach's wife seems she is quick to forget her roots Well if her 'roots' include pathetic whingers like you then it's no surprise she'd want to forget them. Says alot when someone from our city puts in an excellent showing at two olympics on the trot and still certain people try and put them down :rolleyes::rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geared Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The stadium was finished when the council decided they could no longer afford the running costs. No fund raising or celebrity endorsement was going to keep it running, the decision lay with the council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewalk Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 "Sheffield's golden girl"... urgh, that tag makes me sick, can't stand the woman. Agreed. Much more impressed with the woman who turned down a gong, we need a new way of recognising achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghozer Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Why dont you read through the 127 pages of honours and you might see there are plenty of people on there who do lots of charity work, save lives and undertake selfess acts. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/580999/new-years-honours-2017-full-list.pdf I know, that's not the issue... the issue is those who haven't done such things... still getting it...

ECCOnoob Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) I know, that's not the issue... the issue is those who haven't done such things... still getting it... Like who? What "things"? Honours are not just simply about that. You were the one who created this faux criteria. Your personal definition of what you deem "..doing something amazing..." is quite frankly irrelevant. YOU are not the one making the decision. Just because YOU dont think that people like some hard working dedicated sportsperson who represented the nation or some long serving and popular entertainers dont deserve an award does not mean that others think they do. The list is extensive and varied. Their honours should be just as deserved as anyone else. Edited January 1, 2017 by ECCOnoob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1978 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 you mean like this :- http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/jessica-ennis-calls-for-don-valley-stadium-to-be-saved-from-demolition-8441313.html https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/mar/01/sheffield-stadium-jessica-ennis-close http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-2291897/Jessica-Ennis-shocked-sad-Don-Valley-Stadium-closure.html http://news.sky.com/story/jessica-ennis-makes-don-valley-stadium-appeal-10453130 If you don't like her then fine - but at least give the woman some credit for what she did. if the system wants to recognise her then be critical of the system not the recipient of an award. It is a shame that there are some so stoked with negativity that they don't consider any evidence that may run in directions that don't fit with their view.
