goldenfleece Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Now that the Sportsman has closed for good, and the Saturday afternoon rock disco there has vanished, a good few people suggested we open Saturday afternoons and offer some similar entertainment. Historically, the Dove has opened at 6pm on Saturdays since November 2006. Prior to that it was 4pm opening on Saturdays, but previous trade figures show no real significance in opening Saturday afternoons. The Dove then however, was not a rock pub as such and did not put on a DJ Saturday afternoons. Times have changed, the Dove is now a firmly established rock pub, the Sportsman is dead, and we are preparing to try this to see how it fares. Anyone interested in Saturday afternoon rock disco, please express your views here on this thread. It's kind of traditional in Sheffield, there has been a rock DJ at the Sportsman for years, before that, various pubs such as the Mail Coach back in the 90's, the Yorkshireman, etc. I need to know who would be definitely interested in Saturday afternoons at the Dove, and also what times most people might decide to go down town, would our daytime food menu be used, etc. There are plenty of other factors to take into account, but if anyone on this forum wants us to try Saturday afternoons, shout out now:) Further details about revised opening times will follow in the coming week.........your opinion will be valued.

Salster! Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I like the idea. I used to frequent the Mailcoach back in the day. I may not make it in as often as I'd like, but now the Sportsmans gone (RIP), it would be ace to know that if I was in town without the kids I could nip somewhere for a beer.
