Hi guys,

Does anyone know if the players bar on west street has shut down already? Someone just told me it had but I aint heard anything and have a massive session planned for Sunday which includes us all going to the players bar!!!

Can anyone confirm/deny the rumours? I know some of the staff who work there come on here :E

They've got a grand opening this evening so they're shut today to prepare I would think.

It should be shut down they cramb far too many people in that is allowed that is almost certain!!! I would love to know the capacity for this place and have passed on my concerns to police etc as every time i have been in you cannot move. Stupid really so much for caring about the customer!!!

We NEVER charge people to get in. As for queueing well we can only let so many people in, wouldn't want to go above our legal capacity :thumbsup:

I've never seen anyone in there! And it was open. Do people really pay to get in? How much? And why is it so great??? I just get blinded by the light sign in the window.

So here's a question then, will Players be showing 6 Nations rugby? Trying to find somewhere in town that shows the matches is a right pain, I'll not go into the fun I had last year trying. If Players will be showing them with both sound and vision and not turning over to the football with no warning, I'm there Saturday :thumbsup:

You get excited when a new business in Sheffield shuts down?

Would you be upset if a brothel closed down in Sheffield?

What a stupid comment.

Yeah, Sheffield would be better off without such places, IMO.

I'd rather look at a well-maintained bar than a boarded up shell.

Not the best of comparisons there is it.

If it was a brothel I frequented I probably would be upset. (I don't frequent Players BTW, living in Leeds and that)

Exactly.
