Mrtag Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Yeah! there are blue ones but not bright shiny blue like that!
KevH Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Not booting memberships are they.How desperate do you have to be.? Yes a duller blue than that one in the photo. 018652,Nov '74 here.Blue. Edited December 12, 2014 by KevH
Guest Dave Ward Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Mine was green, issued 1974. as I remember. Don't think the cards came in pink for a girl, blue for a boy, they were date related colours.
soultronic Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 mine was blue . always thought it was a blue for boys pink for girls type thing . any lads have a pink one ? lets re-phrase that any lads with a pink membership card ? SHORTY 1
Labeat Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Mines a lovely Cerise (or pink?) Sep 73.... 1077, don't know how to up-load 2
Guest Byrney Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 The fact that there is a market for these snides speaks volumes about the state of that scene.

Paul R Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 I borrowed one off I think Tommy Allinson in 74 ish. His number was 22. Paul
hullsoul Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Mine was Yellow & forged..........nicked some of the right coloured card from work & copied the lettering off my mates with a felt tip.Got in for ages with it until I lost it & had to get a new one which I think was a light blue? Cheers Martyn 1
Labeat Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 They look too new to be authentic, mines wilting after being in the drawer for about 40 years
Popular Post Bo Diddley Posted December 12, 2014 Popular Post Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) I borrowed one for the first year!! There were always loads of kids at school who had a membership card but never went! Here's mine - a bit the worse for wear! Used to get very hot and sweaty in my back pocket and I think it went in the washing at least once. So I covered it in tape to hold it together. (p.s. just found the envelope it came in - strange the things you keep!) Edited December 12, 2014 by bo diddley 6
Guest Matt Male Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Mine was light blue, not dark blue like that one on ebay. It's a boot! I think I sent away for my membership through Black Echoes before I went. Edited December 12, 2014 by Matt Male
Popular Post Frankie Crocker Posted December 12, 2014 Popular Post Posted December 12, 2014 The earliest one was red. There were pale blue and yellow versions also. The ladies card was green. I have a blue one, a yellow one and two green ones in the name of the old girlfriend. My first membership was separated into two, as were many others, as the wheeze was to give a mate without a membership, half of one to flash to the bouncer on the door. Estimates put the total membership at 100,000 but this is probably an overestimate given the number of us who had several membership cards. 4
Winsford Soul Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Sure mine was blue Mine was blue but I wish it would have been red. Steve 1

I think I sent away for my membership through Black Echoes before I went. That's right Matt. Black echoes or blues and soul used to have the membership applications. To be filled in and posted to arrive at station road 48 hrs before you planned on going. Steve 2
Russ Vickers Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Light blue mine, but as said earlier memberships were quite often ripped in half to give to mates... Russ

soultronic Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 MINE GAVE THE GAME AWAY . I FELL ASLEEP ON THE SETTEE AFTER MY FIRST NIGHTER AND IT DROPPED OUT OF MY SPENCERS ONTO THE FLOOR . RUMBLED. I'D SYNCHRONIZED MY FIRST CASINO VISIT WITH A SCHOOL CAMPING WEEKEND. WENT OUT WITH MY CAMPING STUFF, TINS OF BEANS etc. HID IT ALL IN A FIELD AND WENT TO THE CASINO. GOT BACK. SET THE TENT UP AND THEN GOT MOVED ON BY THE POLICE. TOO TIRED AND WET TO CARRY ON WITH THE CAMPING CHARADE , WENT HOME AND FELL ASLEEP. WOKE UP TO MY PARENTS IN VARIOUS STAGES OF MELTDOWN . YOURE NOT STAYING OUT ALL NIGHT AND GOING TO THAT WIGAN CASINO AT 14. START OF A SLIPPERY SLOPE. SHORTY 1
Stateside Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Mine was red. I went very soon in October, not long after it opened, but such was the volume of applications it didn't come in the post until November and as you can see by that time they had already got 3383 members. I always liked the incorrect wording where they said "card" instead of "club" . I've still got the Blues & Soul Magazines where I had cut off the bottom of the adverts to send off for memberships for friends as well. Kev 3
Steve G Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 You'd think in this age the divs could get the colour right at least on the boot….I think yellow came before blue for boys….blue was certainly the colour in 77. Yellow one from 76. 1
soulgrooves Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Here is my Wigan Blue membership card from Sep 1974 #015943 , quite different from the Ebay New copies ..... Edited December 13, 2014 by soulgrooves 3
Guest Byrney Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Mine was light blue and used only the once. I lost it, along with a wallet on the A610 from Ripley to Eastwood; fell out of my pocket when riding my SX200 ;)
Steve S 60 Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Yellow, second hand (came from a mate of a mate), covered in Sellotape (sounds like a mail order bride).

Kev My cards a red un, complete with typo....didnt know that they came in the post..... On the first night I had to pick it up on the door before the nighter started. Think my numbers 320 ish. These cards were used for lads AND lasses - No ladies and gents. Every week it ended up sodden with being in a wet sweaty arsed pocket all night, Often wondered if I soaked it in water, drank it, that I would get blocked due to all the gear in my sweat...
