The New Roscoe cinema! The Roscoe we knew as kids at the bottom of Hoyle Street, [Tarzan, Cowboys, and Dan Dare etc.] It opened up again as a bingo hall and was still open in the early 80s. Do you have a date when it was demolished [Neddy should know this] to make way for supertram. W/E.

This date is incorrect. Although United had beaten Cardiff the previous evening, it was still necessary for the Blades to win on the following Saturday to ensure promotion.
