Guest remus Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 You know the type, 50 something, vest, baggies, tacky badges of places they never even went to, but worst of all, the 'DREADED BEER TOWEL', tucked into their trousers!. Do you think they should be asked to leave, or should we just tolerate them in the name of 'Norvern'?

Guest remus Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 Yes, do we have the right to judge and censure anyone because of thier dress sense? I think not link No we don't,..... 'Beer towels',.. don't think that comes under 'Dress sence', surely we have a right to question their motives?
Dave Rimmer Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 No we don't,..... 'Beer towels',.. don't think that comes under 'Dress sence', surely we have a right to question their motives? link Why ? What motive do you think they might have for using a beer towel ?
Mace Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 Thought you used 'em to soak up any spills, so as to squeeze out an extra pint after bar shuts Dave.....
Guest remus Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 Why ? What motive do you think they might have for using a beer towel ? link I'm not really sure to be honest Dave, I've seen golfers wear them so that they can clean their balls, that's a pratical tool I suppose, and the fact they are in a field with no washing facilities to hand, so makes sence!, but to wear one at a Soul night, for the life of me??
Guest Baz Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 Without a doubt Godz link even if they are dressed all in green

Do you think they should be asked to leave, or should we just tolerate them in the name of 'Norvern'? link Theres a thread a little further down this section about youngsters on the scene and the general consensus seems to be that they need encouraging if the scene is to survive more than ten years. I wonder what a youngster thinks when he walks into a venue for the first time and sees an article such as you've described????
Steve G Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 Against - ever since I got caught nicking one from "The Nelson Arms" in Tonbridge in the late 70's

I wonder what a youngster thinks when he walks into a venue for the first time and sees an article such as you've described???? link I think youngsters should be able to see it all, good and bad. My mate took his 17yr son and friend to the Stoke alnighter (his 1st). His opion was that it was full of 'old scarey people in vests', we laughed,...he was serious! They nearly didn't make it in coz the promoter said they were too young and didn't want them drinking beer!, I replied, 'that's ok, they only want gear' (as a joke obviously), the promoter (you know who) didn't find this at all funny!
