No, your memories ok, I used to go to the Friendship Club before the nighters. I've still got a badge somewhere, similar to the Wigan Oldies anniversary badge.
I remember getting off the train one Friday night to be met by the Police informing us that the nighter was cancelled. Luckily they kept the Friendship club open till about 2. I think I had a better night that if the nighter had been on, but I was lucky enough to stay at a friends house, lots of others weren't so lucky & ended up kipping in shop doorways.
I also went to alldayers at a venue in Arias Park or something like that.
Sometime later I went to an Allnighter run by Chris Burton as part of a scooter run.
