REMEMBER WELL,INFACT A MATE OF MINE GOT LOCKED UP ONE SAT FOR GETTING RIGHT STUCK IN TO THE PUNKS ,WHO IF I CAN REMEMBER WERE ALWAYS [AS WERE THE WIGAN LOCALS]UP FOR A GOOD RUCK.AM I READING ABOUT THE SAME SCENE HERE THIS IS THE NORTHERN SOUL SCENE RIGHT,ALWAYS PARTICULARY BACK IN THE DAY 70S AND EIGHTIES DID YOU HAVE THE OCCASIONAL RUCK.
THE BOUNCERS AT THE CASINO TOOK THE PISS TO OFTEN ALSO.AND A FEW OF THEM DID NOT LIKE THE REPURCUSSIONS,ALSO THE RECORD BAR AT THE CASINO SAW MANY THINGS GOING OFF COS QUITE A FEW PEOPLE USED TO NICK RECORDS WHICH DID NOT HELP,BUT IT CERTAINLY WENT ON ALOT.
FIGHTS ON THE WAY TO SOUL DOS FROM THE NORTH EAST WERE COMMON ALSO,WHETER IT WAS THE FARMERS OF KIRBY STEPHEN WHO WERE PISSED OFF COS WE KNICKED THEIR BEANSTALKERS OR THE HELLS ANGELS WHO CROSSED THE NEWCASTLE BUS AT ONE OF THE SERVICE STATIONS,IT SEEMED TO BE A PART OF LIFE IN THEM DAYS.IM NOT GLORIFYING VIOLENCE HERE JUST STATING THAT IF ANYONE THINKS ITS ROUGH ON THE STREETS NOW THEN THERE SHOULD GO BACK TO THE SEVENTIES ETC.OF COURSE WE CAN DO WITHOUT IT SO SO CAN EVERY TOWN IN THE UK ON A SAT NIGHT.
