Godzilla Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I was there with Sheffield Retired Greyhound Fund. Yes, I think £5 is quite steep, especially for families, but there were the bands and demonstrations in the showring. I didn't see much of them, as our stall was inside the Owlerton Stadium tent, but I know there was a falconry display at one point. I was there on both days, more or less all day, and found the toilet facilities adequate and still clean on my last visit at 4.45pm yesterday. I suppose,though, that it depends upon which bank of toilets you visited. I thought food prices were pretty good. I got a pork roll for £3.00 - masses of lean pork with stuffing and apple sauce. Yum.

fox20thc Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 well obviously i wasn't insinuating that the bands played for free now was i? and I wasn't sure whether it was a council run event or not so how should I know about rent for goodness sake? Don't spit your dummy out. My post wasn't aimed at you. My comment on the bands was genuinely because I hadn't considered that. I apologise that you were not aware it was a council event.

theripsaw Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I went on Sunday. It was expensive, and the offer of stalls and rides etc was poor. The 'beach' was a joke! & the beer tent had no seats or tables. They had a cheek to charge people to get in. Wont be going next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amber181 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I go to the Rotherham Show (usually beginning of September) for a good free day out. The kids usually come away with lots of freebies, and there's plenty for them to to do. Also as the admission is free, you don't mind paying for the kids to go on a couple of fairground rides.

BoroughGal Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I thought it was rubbish for a fiver. I suppose it's worth it for the bands (if they're your cup of tea, which they weren't), but other than that, there's only a fair and a few stalls. I think the Middlewood day will be far more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redinsheff Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 i apologise most profusely for my comments fox20thc. i was bang out of order and i was in a very bad mood that day so i took your comments the wrong way. im very sorry. Just to clear the air - the bands (on Monday) didn't pay to perform - the way it works is that certainly for the bigger artists, Hallam FM will 'repay' them with airplay on their next single etc...not sure what the score was with the local bands on Sunday but I doubt they paid to play either...
