I used to go in here on matchday's as a kid, when watching Hallam F.C who's pitch is in front of the pub.

    bit of an eyesore but surely should be listed as an historic building

    'The Plough Inn, on Sandygate Road, Sheffield, opposite Hallam FC – the oldest football ground in the world – was built in 1929 but there is evidence the pub existed in some form since the mid 1600s and is believed to be where the modern rules of football were first drawn up.'

    So this pub was built on the site of the historic pub. The historic pub was knocked down about 100 years ago. 

    Am I missing something?
