Bellhouse is still going. They have rock nights on a friday with some great bands. Next good one is 18th Dec. Firth Park is ok - I was in Sat for Jimmy Carol but I have found that the singers they usually have on are a bit rubbish......which is why alot disappear after the bingo.

Woodseats is still going. I can hardly say it's doing well though. I used to work there. They do have some good music on, also some really shockingly rubbish music....and who can forget bingo!?

kate that because jimmy does not come cheap, and its not feesable to have 2 main stage expensive turns on the same night.
no club in sheffield is currently banking big money...just keeping open is enough, bring back smoking and things would change..........

I think the other reason why clubs are not doing well is because there are not many young people in the working mens clubs. Last time i went to a working mens club, would say the average age of people was about 50

yep its true, however they are slowly getting more populer with the prices that pubs charge, which is over £2.80 a pint
plus the added thing of a good game of bingo, paying 23£ a house.
bring on the money lol
" smoking ban killed clubs and pubs"

depends if you like bigo i suppose, you dont see many younger people playing it. Yes some pubs charge a lot for drinks but if you look around you can get pubs that charge a lot less. I went to see my mate at the weekend in kiveton and went into the saxon and lager was £1.50 a pint, you cant get lager in a club at that price

Agh a Sam smiths pub, they are really really cheap places!. Even in London. Odd company though(the brewery firm that is) but i quite like thier beer and lager range.

I dont recall saying i dont like good lager,

Sam smiths do a fantastic "pure brewed lager", really really nice and nothing like mass produced rubbish carling, fosters etc.

I also like proper german lagers.

I go to Wadsley Bridge Club every so often, good night out. I also used to go to the Colley Club quite alot though I have heard it's dropped off a bit? Shame, seen some good turns there.

Sheffield Lane Top is the only WMC in S5 that is regulary busy when you compare it to Firth Park, Bellhouse and Southey. They have a decent set up on a weekend, not usually too great on a friday though and bingo and Super 5 usually gets some good £££.

The only thing now is that they are cutting back, like every club and pub nowadays, but to be having a duo on for NYE is just a joke in my view.

Everytime I've been to Wadsley WMC it's packed out, because they sell drinks cheap basically and that's how they stay in profit, there packed and sell loads of ale! Go in your local boozer and it's half empty because they sell beer at twice the price.
