Ste Henderson Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 My brain cells will not calculate how many times I went probably due to over indulgence of pharmaceuticals First time in '75 with some older lads then weekly, fortnightly or monthly until late '80 when I met the first wife so calculate that one Where's Einstein when you need 'im ?

Guest turntableterra Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 well said mark. too many people say they did and actually didnt, just ask the right questions and you know. who knows the first name of mrs woods on the door ,( see how quick you can google it, im timin.) its like a badge of honour. maybe 200 at the most for me......... never the mecca, always heard bad things, blowing whistles and stuff. i believe i missed a great time. not the torch or the wheel either, name story.

Citizen P Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Good question, Bruce's membership card was 007............... I know a lad who was number 002... But don't forget it was the luck of the draw. You had to apply for membership, by post, and be a member 24 hours before the event. ATB Tony Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Souledtrafford Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 The Wigan one - none unfortunately. Spent most of the time travelling up and down the country watching football. Did go to the Blackpool one on numerous occasions though. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Premium Stuff Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Me ... never Webby ... not old enough mate Have to say I'm sure Wigan topped it as an all nighter but musically there are some well dodgy aspects to it For me the more soulful 'golden period' of Northern was the Stafford period Cheers Richard Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Gillybean Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 First went in 1975, i was nearly 14 (don't think i was the youngest ) after that maybe 4 times until 1977 , got a job just so i could go everyweek and i did and had a ball , i once got a cab all the way from North Wales. had to hitch home though , stopped going in June 81 , mainly because i was moving to London and the Casino had lost some of it's sparkle , haven't been to any venue ever since . this is my first post , so not in the right place maybe but i love reading about all your yesterdays , brings back mine and didn't we have the best time.

paultp Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I went once. To something in about 74 or 75 with a live artist that was ticket only. Our tickets were forged, we'd traveled most of the evening to get there and were left outside at 1 am. Like dopey 17 year olds we paid a bouncer £5 each (most of what we had) to let us in through a side door but he never showed, there were a good few others waiting too. A couple of other kids turned up and said "what you all doing here" so we explained, they had arranged for their mates to open these emergency exit doors as they had no tickets. When they opened we all piled in and scattered. I was quite overawed by the place, had never heard any of the tunes before, bought a record, had a few dances and fell asleep. Woke up and buggered off with everyone else as it closed. Spent most of Sunday traveling back to York. Decided that the whole thing was over rated and never went again.
