Gangway F crowd

Gypsy Hack · 04-04-2007, 18:08

Anyone up for a pre-match Gangway F meet-up on Saturday. I'm off to a pub (in town prob) pre-match to watch Chelsea-Spurs and will head to Brammall Lane after.

Let me know if you're up for it.

Depends on when my eldest decides to get to the match. She's in the 13 year old "Don't mind/care" phase at the moment. Where are you thinking of? We usually go to either the Cricketers or sometimes the Sheaf.

Both bastions of tolerance ..........

As far as I remember (only been in there a few times), the Sheaf doesn't show live matches. Does The Cricketers? I've never actually been in there on a matchday.

My usual pre-match pubs are either The Lescar (it's on my way) or The Old Monk.

The Cricketers certainly doesn't, but I'll check about the Sheaf. It always used to have late matches on, but before a home match, it was Sky Sports News .......

Which Sheaf do you mean, guys? The real ale pub 'View' or the one on Bramall Lane? The 'Sheaf View' doesn't have it, man - they don't have TVs in there. A proper drinking pub - that's why I love it so much [hic]

bladesufc1 · 05-04-2007, 09:55

i'm up for this.. The old monk in town is possibly best place to meet, then you can eat and drink whilst in the security of a blades pub

Aside from the footy has anyone watched any of the Cricket World Cup in the Monk yet? Have they had the sound on??

It's a bugger trying to find somewhere that does it & the Walkabout is just pants if its empty.

Isn't Chelsea v Tottenham on pay per view, not "normal" Sky?

Just thinking that if it is not all pubs show those.

F. Sidebottom · 05-04-2007, 13:54

When you say Gangway F, is that short for all those who go the the lane, and leave half way through the first half shouting 'Gangway - flamin had enough of this rubbish, I'm crawlin back int' woodwork before we g' darn'

The Pump will probably have it on, unless there's football on ........ even then, it may still keep the cricket on.

Robbie Loving · 05-04-2007, 15:07

Jazzy, I believe they will have sound on yes for cricket, but can't say 100%..... shall we see

Gypsy Hack · 06-04-2007, 18:36

Any news about the Sheaf yet hippy?

If that's showing it, then I'll go there cos it's closest to the ground. Otherwise I'll be in The Old Monk.

The pump has shut. It's going to be knocked down as part of the moor redevelopment

Correct, it has. Thats where we used to go

We've discovered The Roebuck has draught Budweiser now though so I reckon thats going to be our new watering hole before and after matches now.

We normally go in the Star Wars Bar (aka Moorfoot Tavern) after the match for a couple aswell.

I'm sure the Sheaf House will have it on, but it gets a bit jammed. I only go in the tap room in the Cricketers now, but I don't think they have Sky now (may be wrong). Having said that, my mates (other Gangway F followers) will probably imbibe in the Sheaf anyway ......

BALLY HELL! I know the old landlord took over the Sportsman, but I didn't think yet another of Sheffield's few city centre 'pub' type pubs had gone?

I'll head to the Sheaf for about midday tommorow, or at least that's the plan. If it's showing, then I'll stop in there. If you happen to be in and see a mid-twenties bloke who probably looks like he needs a shave staring at the footy, come and say hi.

happyhippy · 13-04-2007, 01:10

Well, I'm aiming to be in the Cricks earlyish before the Cockneys' match, and then trundle up to the Sheaf to meet my Dronny mates. Managed to get outside the Sheaf after the match last week, but didn't make the early doors.

If you see a bloke with long hair, and a long beard, it's probably me ........ especially if perched at the top of Gangway F .........
