Dont know if this has been posted but im trying to get as many people to hear about this as possible
Several members of the website www.owlstalk.co.uk, an unofficial Sheffield Wednesday fans forum, are being threatened with legal action by Sheffield Wednesday Football Club.
One member has a court date later this month (September 2007)
The owner of the website is being threatened with legal action to hand over personal details of 34 members of the website.
Another fan faced legal proceedings, but these were dropped when it was found the defendant was telling the truth. The man in question is now faced with legal costs upwards of £4800, which the club hasn't paid.
Lawyers predict that should all the cases go to court, it will cost the club between £4-8million, despite the club being over £20million in debt.

anyway please please take 30 seconds and thats all it will take to sign this the futher abroad the better
