Don't go in wordsworth tavern..people get thrown through windows and it's another day in office for staff lol

 

Back in the 1980's once went in there with a mate who lived on Cross at the time. Within five minutes two birds started fighting and one coshed the other round the head with a bar stool, and that was it, the lot kicked off. Must have been a good 20 person brawl, glasses being thrown, chairs, the lot. We left our pints and hot out before the plod turned up. 

 

Never been in since.

Not a patch on the magnet or the parson cross hotel for being rough.

Ball in Ecclesfield was quite tasty late 70's early 80's.

I was a Cross lad (as in the Parson Cross Hotel). It was like a second home. I loved that boozer and the lads.

Once met a mate in the magnet after work for a couple of shandys and went out a sidedoor for a fag to see two ten year olds run off carrying the fag machine up southey hill.

Went in a week later and two gypsies were having a tear up, went out the front door for a fag and four riot vans and 3 cop cars were there, dogs and armed plod and we got pushed back inside to a full scale tear up with stools windows and anything you could name getting trashed.

Went back a month later and two girls about 12 years old were selling BJs for a packet of fags while their Mum was munching chips sat on the wall sticking the fags in a tesco carrier bag.

2 weeks after it was shut, opened briefly and then it never opened again

I'd stop going out for a fag then...

I knew the 'Ball' and the Greyhound really well in the 70's/80's, there was rarely any trouble that I saw, certainly no more than anywhere else.  Ecclesfield was local to me until 87.
