HEY UP there- im a regular down at ball and have been since i wa 18 - satday night thursday and friday i will go- but these days less often. its gud if you know a lot of peeps in there like me but dont go in if ur a student or not known in area. there has been a lot of bad press about it so what do you think?? ive never had grief and wont stop goin xx c'mon let me know ya viewz

but dont go in if ur a student or not known in area.

What a warming invitation, so what would happen if a student or somebody from not round there happened to go in?

Havent been to Hilsbrough drinking for years,I think the last time i went there was 10 years ago...it was ok then....Shakey was ok too..dont know about now though !!!!

I used to go down to ball just about every night at one period....now just go thursday, friday, saturday, before town and sunday....somtimes the odd monday if i've just been paid. I enjoy going down and the beers nice and cheap :)

There's nothing that goes off in the ball that you dont see in alot of other pubs/clubs in the centre, I wouldnt advise not going if your not from the area because I know theres people that go in and arent from h'boro or the surronding area and never get in to any trouble.

If you go looking for trouble you'll find trouble......same as any where else realy...

I love the ball, I have been a regular since I was 14 :hihi: (I am now 21)

I don't go in as oftern now thou, mostly Friday and Saturdays, can't be doing with all the young 'uns on Thursdays (even thou I used to be one)

I like it cos I know all the staff and other regulars but I wouldn't say don't go in if ur a student or not local, I have got a mate who goes down who is from Rotherham and he never has any trouble wen he goes.

I used to go every Thursday about 2 years ago. But now don't bother. Prefer town, so no point going. Was in there other Friday though dressed as a gangster for me mates birthday.

It's not a very nice place; like most of the places in Hillsborough IMHO.
I used to pop in for a few drinks before a match on Saturdays but I just avoid the place now...

What a warming invitation, so what would happen if a student or somebody from not round there happened to go in?

Traditionally a lynching takes place at the gibbot round the back of the pub. :hihi:

sounds like a local pub for local people

from what i can gather locals or students never go to hillsbro anyways, why would they want to?

My 19 year old son tries to go every Thursday, apparently the place to go.
However he has been beat up a couple of times there, once provoked by the bouncers, over a girl I think.
But nothing seems to stop him going.
I've been in myself & it has a great atmosphere but don't look at anyone the wrong way or spill your drink.

It used to be the place to go on Thursday's when I was nineteen, but it's always attracted a lot of idiots!! Everyone inside looks like they belong in "Two Pints Of Lager & A Packet Of Crisps" :huh:.

Pubs in Hillsborough are just :P :gag:

Go in any pub and behave like a student and you may get a slap.

Go in any pub and behave like a student and you may get a slap.

So how do students behave Nimrod? Do you slap them?

frequent this pub before every home match (owls....)

the owners are sound, the beer is cheap and nice....

what more can ya ask for


trouble happens everywhere, get over it ;)

I can't see students (or anyone else with intellegence) wanting to go to the 'Ball, so all's good.

Isnt it well known for football hooligans???

I know a few naughty boys who go in before the match

I'm sorry peeps but the ball is pants.

I don't know what that makes me because I get dragged along nearly every thursday, it's good for cheap beer and location, it's shieser for cheesy music and bad boys...

Dont use the words 'students' and 'intelligence' in the same sentence. It only confuses people.

RIGHT FOLKS seen as I was the person that started this thread I will finish it.... there are A LOT of people on here that talk crap about places they have heard of- but never been to- and then bull**** that they know what its like. They like to feel that they have the intellectual power to slate normal ppl who like a down to earth night out in a pub where every one knows each other and a bit of drama goes off- after all- who wants to be sat bored out their brains in some poncy bar with ''sophisticated house music'' playing- id rather stand with me mates and laugh and boogy to some old school choons!!:hihi: :cool:

HERE HERE :D WELL SAID :)

who wants to be sat in some poncy bar with ''sophisticated house music'' playing

Me. I like cheese too, but not as cheesy (and nasty) as the Ball. And it doesn't come from not going in there, been there enough in my time, but it's only "up" point for me is that it's local and I can stagger home easy enough. And the fact that everyone knows each other (including me) is not a benefit.

By drama do you mean theatre? Are the regulars at the Ball all thespians who like to perform plays written by William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde and Arthur Miller in the pub in their spare time?

:| .......... super, smashing, brilliant, are you a relation to jim bowen?

Nah, just put as much thought into my post as you did....

Now you've said that women from all around the world will be flocking to Hillsborough to try to find themselves an English gentleman. The Paris Tourist Board will be terrified. How on earth can the Eiffel Tower compete with the bus stops opposite Hillsborough Interchange as a potential romantic destination?

Blue ball is good on Sunday's too. Do bear in mind tho that if your over 21 you may feel a little old as it seems to be full of young kids bouncing around. Music is decent enough tho.

Im new to this and I reckon you lot are MAD!!!!!! LOL :loopy:

I used to go to Blue ball Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon. And no at 14 I didn't have any other form of a life!!! There used to be a big group of us bouncing around in the corner where the big screen used to be, it seems now that this still happens, just that I am too old and its not my friends bouncing around. :o

There is a great atmosphere when you know people that go but I can imagine it being a little bit intimidating if you dont know what to expect!

Hey Sheffchick I was one of those bouncing around with you :hihi: I have been a few times since but I just felt old every time and I am only 21! I do agree that it could seem a bit intimidating if you don't know anyone but it's the same as anywhere so long as you don't go in acting clever then it's fine!

From the age of 16 to 28 I used to go in the ball at hillsborough, most monday thursday and weekend nights used to have a right laugh and as somebody said earlier safer if you knew most people in there. I`m now 39 and not been in for a few years, last time I went in with my husband told to take a ring side seat by a regular as there was sure to be a fight or 2 and were they right within 2 minutes 2 had broke out.

I bloody love The Ball.
A pint and a fight. Great British night.
Just hope nobody tries to ponce it up like they've done with my local, The Dev, up on Southey.
That used to be sound.

So if someone beat seven shades out of you next Friday or Saturday night for a laugh would you love that? Surely you would have to because they were only having a "Great British night"? That reasoning seems sound to me, although you might think using reasoning is poncy. Then again, I don't think you like to use it given that in your first post on this site you praised the Chavscum website and said that "Nails are most definitely hit on the head!" and your post about your love of The Ball is one of the chavviest things I've read.

People who get drunk and start fights are scum.

no im ok thanks. i dont find that very appealing wat so eva. i have smelt the mens toilets from outside.:hihi:

wat u said b4 is obviously true (as u have heard it 1st hand) but it does happen in other places as well. It shouldn't really be shocking that it happens in the ball either.

What is shocking is that it happens at all. Surley anyone witnessing such a thing should inform the police. It is bad bouncers like that that give all bouncers a bad name.

I'm sorry, because it goes on elsewhere it's alright?

This is a conversation about the Old Blue Ball, I have made my views clear.

If anyone starts a thread about another dive, I will gladly comment, if I have the knowledge to do so.

Here's a link to a post I made nearer the time of the incident.

link (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showpost.php?p=449613&postcount=43)

Personally, I'm torn. It's a horrible pub, but I realise it has a place, because it's mere existence keeps the people you don't want to deal with in one place.

Nope, went home had a 3 way with a horse and a human...

Sid, wake up and smell the coffee mate.

The police will already be aware, but it is easier to control a situation than it is to eradicate it. Every now and then they will bust somewhere/someone to keep the public onside.
If you eliminate all of your known dealers/informants, what are you left to work with?

Geee's all this bickering, the balls what it is.......love it or hate it, a guess :rolleyes:

Ur makin it out to sound like this doesn't happen. It happens and its something that the police are tryin to control. If u read the papers they are strugglin in doing so.
I can see where your coming from but lookin at it in another way, at least the doormen can control who is dealin etc. It worked/works in certain clubs and more than likely all clubs. It just that they must be a tad more discreet about it than they were in the ball.!

i respect what doormen have to put up with! idiots who go around bottling people, fightin over a spilt drink! fights all of them time with little idiots who go around thinkin they can fight the world. Not surprised enough of them act like they do!!! so a little bit of drug dealin or shud i say drug management is probably light relief!!!

Hang on, two posts back you were saying it doesn't happen everywhere, and now you are advocating it happening. I'm a little concerned by this latest statement.
It is not the responsability of Doorstaff to monitor drug sales in the way you indicate.
I don't disagree it happens, but it is wrong. End of.

Me too, but this just doesn't happen in every pub. It happens more regularly in pubs where the customers are younger, drunker and confrontational. Oh, and the football lot get involved from time to time.

I'm not sure all doormen would see it like this and the authorities certainly wouldn't.

Im gonna lighten the mood.. Im naked :suspect:

Ball = crap.. :) (unless on thurs)

I'm not sure all doormen would see it like this and the authorities certainly wouldn't.

I expect people start fights in lots of other places and they are scum too. What annoys me most is people trying to glorify violence and portray as a part of British or working class culture that should be celebrated. Whether the people starting fights are chavs in The Ball or ex-public school lads in a bar in London they are still scum. People who watch fights and cheer as they do so and later tell the police that they saw nothing if asked are almost as bad.

There are places in the world where you can go out on a night or to a football match and there's no trouble. There's a word for those places.

Civilised.

please read wat i put. it said it does happen!:)
and no its not their job, but they do it to keep it under control. Probs to stop some sort of drug war or sumthing but seen as ive never worked as a doorwoman and i dont want to either, i am only presuming this. Maybe the wages they get paid arn't enough lol

Sid, do you mind adding a quote to the above? I'm not sure who you are addressing....

I was addressing Sazk83 and her view that 'drug managment' was a good thing. I disagrree and think it better to get drugs out of all pubs and clubs and force them underground.

obviously ur naive enough to believe this.

Believe it or not, not all doormen get caught up in dealing drugs.

In the first quote you claim not all door staff are involved.

In the second you claim it (more than likely) happens in all clubs

[QUOTE=Fingers]I expect people start fights in lots of other places and they are scum too. What annoys me most is people trying to glorify violence and portray as a part of British or working class culture that should be celebrated. Whether the people starting fights are chavs in The Ball or ex-public school lads in a bar in London they are still scum. People who watch fights and cheer as they do so and later tell the police that they saw nothing if asked are almost as bad.

Couldn't agree more.

I was addressing Sazk83 and her view that 'drug managment' was a good thing. I disagrree and think it better to get drugs out of all pubs and clubs and force them underground.

Drug management, by the Police, is a good thing.

If drugs are driven further underground, it becomes a lot harder to police their use and sale.

Free Speech.

Oh, and evry pub and club isn't the same, otherwise you wouldn't need to have posted the above.

I'll leave you be now. I've made my point.

Enjoy :thumbsup:

Stop being so over-dramatic, people can post their opinions on any thread they choose. (:D)

Just out of curiosity how does the Blue Ball compare with the nearby Shakey which also has something of a reputation?

wat reps that then????

OK OK everybody. I would like to clear all this up by telling you like it really is- with my opinion as both a gentleman and a man of intelligence.
The Blue Ball is a flea pit of a drinking den, dirty like the "homes" of the slime that frequent it. The "fighters" who row over the childhood game known as foot - ball. The Chavs who row over "tha lass & ma lass" and who was looking at them when. And the door staff who get oral relief from the Chavs lass when the Chav has passed out in the corner in a pool of his own vomit.

Nay fools, this is no place for the civilised man.

So...does this mean you liek it or not??? I'm finding it hard to read your stance on this.......

:hihi:

yeah, its good on a Friday :hihi: :help:

wat reps that then????

I have heard (second hand) that a few rough types drink there. I don't know how true it is and (like the BB) obviously not everyone who goes there is rough.

For heavens sake. Go in and try it. Or don't. Whatever.

ok now i find this highly offensive!!!:rant:
i agree people have a right to an opinion but i can assure u i come from a lovely home with a lovely family. i go to the ball where i know the majority of the people in there. i am not ashamed to say so as i have had many a good nite in there and been good friends with the people who go in there for a long time. so to say people who frequent the place have homes like a dirty den is totally unacceptable!!

u obviously dont like the place but to put something as unreasonable as that takes the P*%$"!!!!:mad:

Like it or not, it has limited time left, for soon it will be razed to the ground to extend the shopping centre.

The owner may not know until all the plans are devised and they are contacted with an offer they cant refuse.

It isn't owned privately, it's a managed house.

Mitchells and Butlers owned it, the last I heard.

That would make it easier then.

it is owned by them, but surely if this is goin to happen they wud let the 'management' know so they can either place them somewhere else or give them their notice.

Can't see it shuttin down due to the amount of money it makes!

besides if they did try and shut it- i for one would be chaining me self to the door!! whilst the bulldozers tried to rip it down:) and im sure plenty of peeps would do the same

no seriously- us regulars would have heard summat- its juts these ponces trying to wind us up yet again!

I notice that's a plural there.

I'm not stirring anything, just stating fact.

yes it is owned by michells & butlers and no its not gettin knock down.

There are two threads on this venue. Why not merge them as (as far as I can tell) the same people are saying the same things on both threads.

er- the staff and management would be the last to know. The company doesnt want them jumping ship too early now do they. Would cost em money that wouldnt it.
Check out many retail particulars- "viewing strictly by appointment- staff unaware".
Sneaky and nasty but true.

Erm, you agreed with my stated fact - on the ownership. I've not mentioned it being flattened once (apart from then). Read back and seeeeee......
