Feel a tit more like....

I presume it's just a 'catch all' term for those who take any and every opportunity to blame the Casino for everything from Hitlers invasion of Poland to the current Ebola outbreak (it started in the toilets). It seems whenever Station Rd is mentioned out come the usual suspects with the usual 'Pop shite, tourists, Spencers and Soussan' comments. And of course Wigan was just full of Divs for eight years because 'Real' soul fans went to all those other great 70's venue's which only ever played quality rare soul.

I wonder if there will be a compare with a mic at the front of the coach?..... " And on your left we have the bingo hall steps where Duffy used to sit every week before going into the Casino".

Brilliant!...... can't think why anybody hasn't thought of doing this before.

Got a new DSLR a few years ago and took this while trying set up's.....

And just around the corner......

What did you tell him?..... The Lenny Gamble cover was shite.....

Wigan oldies they may be Pete, but still hugely superior to much of the shite that's played at todays Pensioners Disco's....

Our Tommy wasn't half bad either........ https://youtu.be/dGVvsSAohpk

I remember lots of guys dancing like they were Kung Fu fighting - indeed these guys were fast as lightening - and if I'm honest it was a little bit frightening........

Long time - no play, and one of those tracks that instantly puts you back on that Station Rd floor.

This seems to be one of those tracks that's too rare for one side of the scene - and not rare enough for the other, so doesn't get the plays it should.

'Mam' ' Dad' and a Dot on each knuckle...... Dead 'Ard!.

Most 'Tats' I remember were DIY.......

....... and another "The dancefloor at Wigan. There was a clear zone where only the elite dancers could do their moves" Can't say I ever noticed this either.....

Right On......

You know what they're like from Warrington though Ste....

An Adidas 3-Stripe T-Shirt and Trainers were much more the 'Uniform' I remember from the day rather than the String vests and Bowling Shirts which todays lot seem to think everyone wore....

Used to always go to Wigan in a pair of Como's along with a pair of Samba 3 stripes in my bag, and would change depending how the floor felt.

Probably the extra grip trainers offer due to all the people who cant seem to constuct the most basic of 2-Step Northern Soul dances without having a 2" deep carpet of foot odour products for a 30 foot radius around them on the dancefloor.

There are probably as yet undiscovered tribes of pygmies deep in the Amazonian rain forest who could recite the lyrics to Ruby Andrews.......... AND Moses Smith!.

RIP Libby.....

...... so you don't Smegging like the Smeghead then?..

Everyone seemed to find an exit quick enough though when the squad turned up

There has to be lot more people dancing these days...... otherwise all those lessons would have been wasted.....
