"lucky" to know older lads when I first went sammys nighter in 76 I was introduced to and therefore not given any hassle from some of the heavy types from Sheffield and derby The midnight train we caught from Chesterfield to go sammys was full of soulies from leicester notts Mansfield derby never any football related trouble on that train The only soccer trouble I can remember was when derby played man u in the fa semi at Sheffield Lots of derby lads had planned to go sammys and then go the nighter Trouble was so did some man u lads No trouble with the soulies from Manc lots of us went to Wigan and had many friends from Manchester Trouble was loads of Manc pissheads turned up caused bother Ended up two if em picking on a couple of the aforementioned heavy types got stabbed and left sammys feet first on sretchers!! Only football bother I can recall at allnighters Seen plenty of other related trouble though!!

No but often get accused of comming from there!! Used to be fun playing football against them!! From Birdholme mate

It's amazing they say that we are in a ression They destroy welfares at the heart of our communities Then build houses /apartments that no one can afford to buy It's sad Spike in the socialist republic of north east Derbyshire Maggie Maggie Maggie out out out

Dance lessons ? Just do what every other f***er does spin at home in the kitchen fall over do it again fall over then get on the dancefloor and spin like a whirling dervish if you fall over in public make out it's a new type of acrobatic move Oh and mist if all don't give a toss and enjoy it ;(

Thanx think I chucked mine about a week later! Proper cheapo looking thing!!

Which one of the anniversary badges which was given out on the night was just a printed piece if cloth not a proper thick style patch? Was it The 4th ??

The 3rd anniversary was my first anniversary niter Must have been then that the chants were on Was it the exciters @ the 4th anniversary ??? Or were they on some other time round about then at the casino ??

name. My next venture was the Wakefield unity hall all - nighters, this was a great venue and used to get around 1,000 people. I think I charged about a pound entrance fee which was a little cheap those days, but it wasn't about the money but the music. I remember getting back home to Retford one Sunday morning and seeing with horror a front page article about 'Rat Poison pills sold at all night concert in Wakefield' splashed on the front page of The News Of The World newspaper. It turned out they caught someone outside with some Warfarin tabs. The town council let me have one more after that and I played the last record of the night with the curtains slowly closing, "It's all over" great sound sad event Never went to the broken wheel don't know why cos it's not far from us in Chesterfield ?? Shame it sounded great But I did go the Wakefield nighters twice I think one night think it may have been the night it closed about 2am the local plod +the west yorkie squad came in all the lights on think they stopped the music?? Can't remember if they chucked us all out??? The "rat poison" wafferin would have been in the totally mad mental @backstreet bluies

Dont think it's about the talc

It is I Spelt it rong!!! As I am in my iPhone could not edit it!!! As I'm an old techno phobe!

Good dance floor everytime Couple of different soled pairs of brogues Dance floors get either to sticky or slippy Will use talc if I feel I need it Usually come back with my best loaks covered in the stuff other people seem to think that the floor needs to look like an effing dusty desert!! The club is called the twisted wheel by the way;)

Definitley don't go out with the "in crowd"

Llke I say glad I won't be there

Don't know (or care) about the music played there don't care about the talc! Don't like the idea of being watched all night If people wipe there feet on the chairs ban them!

Glad I don't go the stables sounds like I Would not enjoy it

Well said folk should dress how the want! Just a bit o talc when the dancefloor gets a bit wet n sticky "spike"

Get some of them "one timers" who turned up @ wigan for the filming if this England or are the all now ex punks new romantics or teddy boys depending on what the currant trend is??? Sorry I can't make it only went 76-80 and I can't fit into my baggies anymore

Hi I'm in sheffield Saturday and will be calling in The dev cat ' n frog n parrot for a pint so I will call in and have a look Spike Just noticed your not opening till t 12th !!! Will get in when I can !!!!

Never went the torch but I think it was 3rd or 4th anniversary Wigan a soul group was on can't remember thier name them? that? they? Just remember people on the big floor all sitting down !!

Love train??? Only joking

Bit off thread here but what was the purpose of the small 3mm 1/8in hole found in some imports!!????? Seem to remember them in the ones from soul packs ?? (or is my memory playing tricks??)

Really good thing that your sons doing! My mates girlfriend was going to do a documentry about the soul scene and she was supposed to film at the twisted wheel on a Sunday session two years ago but it fell through I would love to see someone filming St the wheel and interviewing some if the original soulies from the sixties some from the seventies ( like me!) And some of the younger crowd the 18-20 somethings who come and enjoy the unique atmostphere at the wheel Manchester Would be very interesting to hear what the youngsters think about the soulscene Wish him every success in his film making wouldnlove to see the results Ktf "spike"
