Did you skate in the 80's (Queens rd rink)?

[bluesbrother]

Just wondering if there are any forum users who used to go to the old Queens rd ice rink in the 80's?

I was going to the sessions from the early 70's through to about 1992.

 

Remember the likes of 'Eccky', 'Twinnies', 'Bernard & Babs' etc?

 

Would be good to hear a few stories, and if there is enough interest even a bit of a reunion. (At a pub rather than a rink, i think i'm getting too fragile to skate nowadays!)

 

Ps I was a DJ there from about 83 to 87ish.

I used to go regularly in the 70s. IIRC it was 50p on a Monday night and you got a voucher to go on Wednesdays for 25p

 

Showing my age now:)

I didn't but my Brother did, and broke his arm first time he went on the ice when he went with the Cubs circa early 80s.. Put me off for life that, I went to Queen's Rd skating rink with a youth club years later and refused to go on the ice, instead opting to spend the £2 I'd been given for skating to play on the Arcade machines there.

I went once in the mid 80s, fell over more times than I care to remember, got blisters from the shoes and vowed never to do such a ridiculous 'sport' again - and haven't!

 

I don't think the DJ had green hair in those days!

Hi there Mrs Pooley91 here !

 

I used to skate at Queens Road nearly every night - except Tuesday night !! I remember Eckky, the steward if I remember rightly - Can you remember Sheffield Sabres ??? Do you remember Stewart on the door ??? And that dodgy Bar? What about tracey that really tall guy who was a wicked skater ??? Did you take over from Mick on the DJ or are you him? I used to go to skates with my friend Kerry - we met loads of nice people there - it was a right laugh !! Went other week and it's a roller skating place now - well weird !!!

Ive gone from skating on Queens Road to drinking round there these days lol.

Lol this threads bringing back memories, i remember the sabres, me and my mates used to go down on a Saturday afternoon to see them.

I can also remember Tracey and how good he was on his blades, my memory`s a right shocker these days but can anyone remember vinny in the jeans that looked like rags?
