2007/08 Season Photos - Pre-season (June/July)

Monday 25th June - and one of the worst floods in the club's history strikes as The River Don bursts it's banks amidst monsoon like rain in Sheffield. The damage is evident as the water level rises well into The South Stand. The 'Hillsborough slope' is clear as the water levels drop with rain easing in the region. The rain may have gone but there is plenty of work to be done as around £200,000's worth of damage is caused to the pitch at Hillsborough.


Goalkeeper Robert Burch signs on a free from Spurs. On the same day another keeper puts pen to paper in Lee Grant from Derby. ...and the third signing of the afternoon is Scunthorpe's utility man Richard Hinds. Steve Watsons returns to sign permanently for the Owls after last season's loan spell.
