Good luck to you. 'BBC' $ has connotations in Sheffield doesn't it? I imagine that's a coincidence.

Nice, got any Weather Report?

Blades business crew or British bouldering championships.

Though the $ used to indicate a student being mugged (possibly a myth our confusion on my behalf, most probably the later).

I thought $ was just a tag, doubt the Blades hooligans were that focused on students.

Thanks; first night we've done in Sheffield as I'm from Stoke (Roaches lol  ) and used to put on nights our way.

The BBC part is just an appreviation of our crew 'Black Box Collective.' In abbreviated form we always use it with the 'events' part to avoid any clash with a certain slightly larger corporation than ourselves! 

...any similarity with anything undesireable in shef is purely coincedental and as I see quite unfortuanate.

I wasn't even aware Shef had any hooligans.....  are they are throwback to the past?

80s/90s Sheff Utd thugs, probably middle-aged now. No longer a Sheffield resident so can't comment if still around but hooligan firms have dwindled away generally. Roaches is nearer to me as it happens.
