Glad we're back on topic, what on earth has this thread got to with football?

In the 80's whenever you went in the Horsehoe it was packed, can't understand why it closed? In comparison, the Wharncliffe is the only pub I've ever seen a fight on Christmas Day lunchtime!!

i remember once when some trouble kicked off (again:hihi:) and the police were called one old boy came in and said to the copper your panda car is on its roof .the copper ignored what he said and when he came to leave sure enough the car was on its roof

I lived on Maple Croft Rd 1968 -1976 & went in Roman Ridge one or two evenings a week. Found it & enjoyable & freindly place. Sad to see its gone.

i went in the shoe from 1970 till it closed. [went home for some tea of course]. i played and then ran the football team and played for the snooker team. a great pub. where do the local young lads go now as most of the pubs have now gone. it's all a bit sad really.

I lived on Maple Croft Crescent and used to go in the Ridge on a regular basis until 1979 when I moved away from Sheffield. It was such a busy pub back then, the beer was delivered by tanker so it must have had a good turnover. I was amazed to learn it had closed and had been demolished.

When I was a regular it was run by a young couple, Jack and Lynda.
