Clough Road???

[Nade]

I don't get to Bramall Lane that often as I'm usually playing football myself at the same time. A few weeks ago though I wasn't playing and caught the train down from Kirkcaldy to watch the Blades. On the way to the stadium I saw a road called 'Clough Road' very near the stadium.

When I lived in Sheffield I never approached the stadium from the side of the train station so I'd never seen it before. Just so I know for certain: A road called 'Clough Road' being right next to the stadium is a complete coincidence isn't it? We didn't have some daft renaming thing going or anything did we?

Cheers,
Christian

There is a road round the corner called Nade Way.Obviously the sign writer liked Christian but never bothered to change it when he fucked off.

Bassett Lane, at Fulwood had the road name taken a number of times. Bloody heavy things road signs, or so they tell me.

its a shame out managers first name isn't Harvey, then he'd be named after the road I live on
As an aside, and i may be incredibly wrong (not be the first time) but i believe clough is olde english for a small stream

Been there for decades, Christian.

Mind you, when he doth leadeth us to the promised land I reckon St Mary's Gate should be renamed

Hi Christian,

Any chance you could stop scuffling one in in the last minute at Easter Road? Or if not, try doing the same in Glasgow?

Thanks

Hi Raul,

I'll do as a please.

Warm regards,

Hi Christian,

I've just had a Beef Curry, Chips and a Pancake Roll from the Chinese and am now polishing off a Twix. What should I have as my main course?

Thanks

Sorry guys but I did mention this last year , after Mr Clough saved us from relegation .
Although first time I noticed it was v Swindon 2014 .

Might just take you up on that offer... remind me of the days when we grumbled that we only scored from direct balls and set plays... Ah, nostalgia.

The Oxford Dictionary says it is a northern english name for a steep valley or ravine.

Did you mean sickcall?"

Hi Raul,

I hope you are not still waiting for my answer before deciding. I am always inclined towards choosing beef in black pepper sauce whenever I go to a Chinese. The best Chinese I've ever been to was Hao Haidong's house when we were both playing for United. He lived on Lowedges at the time.

Regards,
Christian

Hi Christian,

Thank you for replying to me. It meant a lot, given you were just hours away from fulfilling my first request. I thought it should go on record here and everyone can enjoy it as much as I have.

Warmest congratulations

I came across these archive maps earlier while doing some other research and it seems that there have been quite a few Clough this, that and the others around the Lane area. Clough Bank, Clough Works, Clough Cottage etc etc.

"The White House" near the cricket ground was owned by a man called John Brammall and the lane was named after him. Over the years the letter "m" was dropped from the street name

m, interesting

That is what it said in the book of street names in Sheffield that I browsed a few years ago at Waterstones

Little known fact; "High Street" was named in honour of Paddy Kenny.
