A further £20,000 has been pledged in support of the Plough pub since the last public meeting.
The campaign to reopen the Sandygate Road pub is looking to raise £120,000 through a community share issue.
A recent post on the campaign Facebook page says:
A few days ago, we needed 150 people to make a minimum pledge. Now that’s down to 80 – we’re sure if we all work hard, we can find those people.
Please email – ploughsandygate@gmail.com for a pledge form or to make a pledge.
Crosspool residents are fighting to save The Plough pub.
After the pub closed in April, Sainsbury’s announced plans to turn it into a convenience store.
The Save the Plough group has been coordinating the campaign to keep the building as a pub and save the sporting heritage of Sandygate. Together with local councillors, they have launched a survey to gauge public opinion on the issue. They’re also raising money to support the campaign.
Ideas include turning the site into a multi-use community facility and a visitor centre for the world’s oldest football ground, which is opposite.
Some residents are also in support of the the idea of a convenience store opening in place of the pub. If you have views either way then consider making them known to Sainsbury’s, Sheffield Planning Committee, our local MP and your councillors:
Last year The Plough was listed as an asset of community value.
