Being Searched By The D S

[Guest soulpeeper]

I rememeber one of the first nights i went to wigan late '78 me and a fellow carlisle boy went straight to the bogs after coming into the venue and got stopped in the bog and questioned and searched. by two plain-clothed officers. We were carrying other peoples' bags i remember, cant remember why we had them but thought "were fucked her like.. totaly fucked"" At the time i had barely left school never mind got used to the idea of chemicals but i remember being very worried as some of the bags belonged to people who got off their heeds! Thankfuly nowt was found but my heart was in my gob!

Another soulie from carlisle was telling me some years back that he was approached in the casino by a guy who asked if he had any gear! He said pointing to his addidas bag at his feet "yeah its in the bag" thinking naively it was a strange question to ask about spare tee-shirts and that! - next thing he was getting strip-searched with a lot of explaining to do! haha bet people out there got loadsa stories to tell..............

[Prophonics 2029]

Remember one night a guy in a blazer said have you any gear to a guy next to me, then says ok had it over I am DS. He then got a hell of a pasting just off the dance floor down stairs near the boys bogs, he soon went off and never came back.

Think he was just trying to pull a fast one.

Unfortunately , that incident was a common occurance back in the 70s , when the big boys preyed on the newbies / innocents on the scene .

They knew they could get away with their tried and tested scare tactics - which more than often than not did - but as you state , their ruse sometimes backfired , earning them a decent shoeing which prevented returning to a particular venue .

I can honestly say that in the whole of my "career" I have never been pulled or searched by DS, real or otherwise.

I put it down to my Youthful & Innocent looking visage

Well, I used to.

Apart from a minor incident at Hose St which resulted in a small fine I too can honestly say I never had a proplem with DS.

Probably because after said small problem I never touched an illegal substance again...................................................................

Maybe.

I used to use a red gola holdall as my nighter bag , this also doubled as the bag i used for work during the week. The place where i worked had a Boiler in the tea room, so iused to take fresh milk, a jar of sugar & tea bags, i`d forgot to take out the sugar before the friday oldies allnighter & was pulled in manchester station on the saturday morning. I`m sure they thought they`d hit the jackpot, when my bag was searched "OH YES & WHATS THIS THEN?" "EEEER SUGAR"!!!

"YEAH RIGHT" was the reply and i was held for 2 hours F.F.S

Twice I have been searched by the D.S.

Once at Wigan in the Arcade before the nighter, a very half hearted affair, they did not find anything.

Than was strip searched back at the station at Sheffield, after getting caught selling some gear outside Samanthas, sometime in 74.

I can't remember the date we got busted but the court case was Nov 74, after it got put back a couple of times.

I got busted with a lad called John Pinner, and when we where back at the nick, being searched the Tea lady came in with a brew for us, my face went redder than my hair.

When they where going through our belongings the old bill found match tickets for United match away at Fulham and Train tickets Manchester to London.

Any way the oldest of the two interviewing us "What time is your train?" I thought here goes they are gonna let us out so it's too late to get back to Manchester to catch it.

To my surprise he said lets wrap this up quickly we don't want you to miss your train in the morning.

He than went on to tell us that he was a United fan.

They also asked do we want to keep it quiet from our parents because we where both over 18, which was nice of them.

Nearly forgot to tell how we get caught, which was so funny.

A girl with pigtails and faired skirt asked if we any thing to sell, John said yes and started to do the deal, after he handed over the stuff she said your nicked.

Than her two male colleagues turned up out of nowhere. I just started laughing and keep on laughing after we where took inside the police car.

A journey to Wigan...

Having missed all things going North in the freezing cold January 1974. I got the late train from Wolverhampton which unfortunately changed at Crewe. I had a long delay on Crewe station which meant being real late for Wigan.

I was the only long leather trench coated soulster walking through the empty streets of Wigan at approx 3 - 4 am on a freezing winters night with a large suspicious badged grip bag...needless to say I was stopped by the uniformed plod and then later an arriving car load of Squadies.... they pushed me into the doorway of Wakefields and stripped searched yours truly..........all over ...( and I mean ...ALL.. OVER)..........

......but they never searched my long leather trench coat............ ...BEST NIGHT EVER....

they were always a keen bunch of basta#ds in south yorks

As were Derbyshire. Got pulled into a side room at an Alfreton allnighter in 1981 - I was 17. Stripped searched by the bast£rds, and they we're right horrible in the way they did it and then threatened to nick me if I said anything to anyone in the nighter. Having found nothing (but a water pipe for a hamster cage ) they let me into the nighter where I pointed them out to everyone I knew and a few I didn't. W&5kers

Got pulled at TOTW all dayer late 70's, locked up for day squad been to mom n dad's before i got home.....not charged

Car load of us me. phil shelton, dave shaw, twins n mickey taylor, pulled at Sandbatch, taken to Congleton nick for search, samples, prosecuted the two they caught holdin, rest of us not, obviously not checked sample, as we had done Clifton Hall previous night..

When the biggie finally came, years later, and when not scoring from within scene, it was out of the blue, and very sobering

But as for at venues , no never had a pull, but we were more cautious, and that was the reason it was not as bead as it may have been.

Its a fact that it has left a mark with regard to employers, etc...., and for a while esteem, but what a journey it has been, would not change a thing, well prap's just a few little bits

I rememeber one of the first nights i went to wigan late '78 me and a fellow carlisle boy went straight to the bogs after coming into the venue and got stopped in the bog and questioned and searched. by two plain-clothed officers. We were carrying other peoples' bags i remember, cant remember why we had them but thought "were fucked her like.. totaly fucked"" At the time i had barely left school never mind got used to the idea of chemicals but i remember being very worried as some of the bags belonged to people who got off their heeds! Thankfuly nowt was found but my heart was in my gob!

Another soulie from carlisle was telling me some years back that he was approached in the casino by a guy who asked if he had any gear! He said pointing to his addidas bag at his feet "yeah its in the bag" thinking naively it was a strange question to ask about spare tee-shirts and that! - next thing he was getting strip-searched with a lot of explaining to do! haha bet people out there got loadsa stories to tell..............

the above tale is so true + it was my 1st nite at wigan + for the life of me did not know what the fxxk they were on about. 16 year old + 2 blokes telling me to drop my pants( this was not what id read about the casino strange) still to this day dont know what they were on about......richard

I used to use a red gola holdall as my nighter bag , this also doubled as the bag i used for work during the week. The place where i worked had a Boiler in the tea room, so iused to take fresh milk, a jar of sugar & tea bags, i`d forgot to take out the sugar before the friday oldies allnighter & was pulled in manchester station on the saturday morning. I`m sure they thought they`d hit the jackpot, when my bag was searched "OH YES & WHATS THIS THEN?" "EEEER SUGAR"!!!

"YEAH RIGHT" was the reply and i was held for 2 hours F.F.S

The reason you had to wait was they were making tea's for the station and wanted your sugar...
