Reyt Good Sheffield Podcast – Friday 17th July 2026 | Woodhead Pass, Chris Wilder & £45m Crucible Plans

It’s Friday 17th July and here’s your latest Reyt Good Sheffield Podcast, bringing you the stories everyone’s talking about across the Steel City.

The A628 Woodhead Pass remains closed following a vehicle fire which spread onto surrounding moorland, with the situation being assessed this morning.

We’ve also got reaction to Chris Wilder extending his Sheffield United contract until 2028, new designs for the proposed £45 million redevelopment of the Crucible Theatre, Urban Outfitters coming to Sheffield city centre and Sheffield’s visitor economy passing £2 billion for the first time.

Plus, we look at plans for a major community energy project at Our Cow Molly, the latest local police news, a £245,000 makeover for the historic Red Deer pub and some of the events happening across Sheffield this weekend — including Bassfest and Pop Republic Fest.
