Must admit I didn’t use the Duke much, I was a Crown and Wellow man(boy).

But I happened to pass there yesterday and thought the same.

Very sad the way it’s turned out down there.

Wot! You want to demolish the Lidl and a legendary chippie?

When I first saw that (early morning eyes), I thought it was about the 'Duke of Darnall' but that's another subject.

We used to meet up in Darnall before heading to town on a Friday night.

I remember the little room well, especially the video jukebox.

If it got too full in there my mate would put on a record and accompanying video by Robin Hitchcock called "The man with the lightbulb head"

Soon cleared the room

Anyone remember one Friday night someone brought a goat in on a chain got it a bag of crisps and half of stones true think the lads borrowed the goat from greenthorps garage always outside the garage there, after the goat had a few half’s it was taken back home a bit wobbly

[raymondo1952]

What a story lets hope the goat was not underage
