I have been unable to find The Sportsman (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/43379/) at 504 Attercliffe Road. The Sheffield Pubs website (http://www.sheffieldpub.co.uk/pubs/search/) lists 13 pubs of this name, but not at this address. Google maps identifies 10, again none at this address.
It is possible that the venue now called MJ's - "Sheffield Premier Karaoke Venue" is what used to be the Sportsman. I must admit I was too depressed after photographing countless boarded up pubs today to take a photo of this "premier venue". Take a look at the street view on Google maps.:eek:
As MJ's is at about the right place and looks like it might still be a pub, can you please change the name of this Sportsman?
There is a building further up Attercliffe Road (approx. no.546) which is now called La Chambre ("the top class venue for liberated adults") which looks as though it might have been a pub at one time, and again I refer you to the street view on Google maps.:sick:
In the whole of Attercliffe Road there is only the Carlton (and possibly the Greyhound and the Don Valley) that would be worth a visit. A thoroughly depressing experience. When I've recovered, I'll go back to try the Greyhound and the Don Valley and post some reviews.
Wish me luck.:pray:
