Zed1 Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Me,between 150-200..... Ditto..... Nearly every week for 3+ years - throw in a fair few of the oldies nighters and it'd be well over 150.
Guest Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 i have trouble remembering to go to the toilet these days, let alone anything else
Zed1 Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) i have trouble remembering to go to the toilet these days, let alone anything else The great smell of Brut replaced by that familier smell of urine.... at least it'll remind of the Station Rd Bogs Edited February 28, 2010 by Teapot
Hornet Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 how many times did you have to attend to become a soul source connoisseur,(5 would be cruel )

Guest welshruss Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Bloody 100s.....it was a shithole - but centre of the universe at that time. How times have changed eh !
Ian Parker Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 how many times did you have to attend to become a soul source connoisseur,(5 would be cruel ) I can't even spell it but i'm honest with my answer
Wayoutgirl Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Only missed two times in the two and a half years I went there, and that was only because I had flu.I wouldn't be that obsessed these days. The true is I was frightened of missing something
Guest martyn Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Probably less than I think as I was more of a regular at the EASC nighters , Yate etc etc .............So I would guess maybe 50 times (?)
Hornet Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Probably less than I think as I was more of a regular at the EASC nighters , Yate etc etc .............So I would guess maybe 50 times (?) did you go for the music or for the pool table, & shopping trolley races in th morning

Mark Bicknell Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Hey Cheeky Bastard,yes you did,in a transit van that l had hired,78 l remember it well!!! You sir are the cheeky bastard I never went I was from down South and far to posh to attend such a shit hole, now if you are refering to that lanky fresh faced teenager from Reading who was lead astray by slightly bigger boys from the North of England then yes he did go for a solid three years from 1976 - 1979 but I never liked the twat personally lol think he ended up DJ'ing all over the place, fat bastard now hardly goes anywhere but from what I understand he still has some very tasty tunes lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.
Mak Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Kinnell , loads of times , some I remember , some I can't remember and a few I don't want to remember . All I know is I stopped going in 75
pikeys dog Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Never, it closed when I was 9. Heard loads of tapes from the first 3 or 4 years as they were recorded though.

Mark B Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 I had never thought about it but it would be quite a few times used to go to the oldies as well, i would say at least 50, but maybe more from 74 onwards we used to just do the Mecca more or less every week also did a few cleethorpes. mark

Guest Gogs Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 never made it, was too young then work took over. my brother got there once and i had loads of freinds who went but i stuck with the local niters, we still got the big name dj's plus a lot of the good Scottish ones, whom i think were better:whistling:

Scared us so much never felt like going again ...but apparantley it was crap after then anyway ....not my words just what ive heard en route to that xmas niter, myself and caveman pete (and two more friends) got set upon at Crewe station. it didnt come to anything but we used cars for the next tripss
Phil_H Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 good question, one that i've been thinking to myself recently, but a lot between 76' & 79'
Guest martyn Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 did you go for the music or for the pool table, & shopping trolley races in th morning Neither , it was the charming social intercourse with the natives in the car park that had me hooked
Irish Spinner Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Me,between 150-200..... Just about every week for 3 years from the second week of its opening. Till to many ass holes jumped on the band wagon.Not to say some good soul people still attended after that but the place and the hard core crowd where being exploited by the media and some of the DJs sorry to say. I ask myself dose it matter if you went only once or a hundred times as long your listening to the stuff thats got SOUL and gets you up and on the floor thats wot counts.
Ged Parker Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Hows Many Times Did You Go To The Casino? Who are you; my Dad?
Spook Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Too long ago to remember how many times, but I can recall trying to get there every two or three weeks, and I really used to have difficulty in getting to work on the Monday. There was always the 'don't come mondays' jibes. Best Spook
Jem Britttin Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 en route to that xmas niter, myself and caveman pete (and two more friends) got set upon at Crewe station. it didnt come to anything but we used cars for the next tripss Twas a nightmare mate , dont think I have ever been so scared since,was only 16
Garswood Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Twas a nightmare mate , dont think I have ever been so scared since,was only 16 me too, only 16 as well, went about 6 times, then it shut down (the september "last one"), just my luck, still it must have made an impression cos i,m still doing it
Guest Simon Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Never, i was into playing marbles, conkers & kiss chase at the time. simon
grantdyche Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 good question, one that i've been thinking to myself recently, but a lot between 76' & 79' Me to Phil same times 76--79 and more than likely with you and Dave
