Well you got me covered, and i remember quite a few and eyeballed quite a few, my first eyeball I think was 'A town called malice' in the breakers cub opposite kelvin, what a looker she was stunning but there was a big age gap (I was 15 she was about 21) so it wasn't to be!!! I didn't see any Randy Mandy's that I knew, she had a sister called Juicey friut, that was just one of several!!! -
I went when it was Steeleys on a Sunday Afternoon rollerskating, I also went when it was Roxy's, saw frank Bruno lose to Mike Tyson on the screens in there, Roxy's was the best, but if it was so good as we all remember why did it close down?? Most Pubs and clubs reinvent themselves a couple of times before closing, Roxy's never did it just closed and stopped being. I once saw plans for that part of Sheffield town centre, it was rufurbishment plans and Roxy's never featured, I wonder if it was due the same fate as the old ABC cinema, but it didn't get demolished before the project was shelved!??

went in the PX when it was the Chaucer school festival a few weeks ago, WHAT A <deleted>, you could breed fleas, sticky carpets bad decoration the lot. It was about five years ago I gave up DJing in the cross, it was never the best but, it certainly has gone down hill!
