Guest johnny hart Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 The "irresponsible behavior of the few", the few must just have been ALL the lads/lasses I knew who went from Bradford/Halifax/Keighley then OK,we are talking,minor problems, with recreational drugs. The irrespsonible behaviour of the Majority is now much more problematic; liver kidney disease,out of control violent crime, family breakdowns and the acceptable drug of choice, Alcohol!

Kegsy Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) OK,we are talking,minor problems, with recreational drugs. The irrespsonible behaviour of the Majority is now much more problematic; liver kidney disease,out of control violent crime, family breakdowns and the acceptable drug of choice, Alcohol! My post was more about Dave Godin saying that the majority would suffer due to the behavior of a few. I'm quite sure Dave Godin knew full well that is wasn't only a few that, shall we say, "indulged" at The Wheel. You only have to read one of his articles in Blues & Soul, about when he visited The Wheel, to know that he was perfectly well aware of what was going on.

Ady Croasdell Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 By the early 70s round our way I think the nighters were run until the cops cottoned on to them and they got shut. The membership system was just an attempt to get round the law, I don't think anyone ever challenged the cops, with the drug taking going on it would have been a waste of effort. The membership system we did down the 100 club in the 80s was a joke by the end, we never got challenged as long as people behaved themselves; and they did-ish.

Garethx Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I think Ian Levine still has the original hand-written drafts of some of Dave Godin's correspondence regarding the closure of the Wheel, which he used in the SWONS documentary. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
