Solidsoul Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) A lot of the time, once it got later than 4 or 5 o'clock there was no one on the door. People where coming and going after that time unchecked. It seemed to me they had made their money for that night, so weren't bothered about hanging around for the dribs and drabs after that.

Kenb Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 (edited) I asked because i was always an early leaver, about 4.30m (on the limited occasions i did go, upto mid/Late 1974) and one time had to get someone (Harry or Gerry i guess) to let me out. Other few times i left early, i met lads coming the other way i.e. IN. Edited January 26 by Kenb Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Neil Austin Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 15 of us went most weeks in the back of a Luton van , huddled up from Lancaster driver Martin Brogan once went in the boot of a Vauxhall as the car was full and no seat left wasn’t to bad to be honest 1 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Frankie Crocker Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Don’t know about the latest entry but I’m claiming an early one... First visit in March 1974 just blew me away so I went back the following Saturday. Caught the bus from Culcheth to Leigh then another to Wigan. I arrived about 10 or 11 o’clock, so to kill time, I went into the early disco. The Allnighter started at 2.00 am. in those days so I passed the time watching the locals get more and more pissed. Towards the end of the disco, the lads were dropping their trousers and running around on the dance floor. A few of the lads were playing at dead ants. Definitely one of the more memorable visits to The Casino - also glad when the Beachcomber came to my attention so I never had to experience another disco. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Happy Feet Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 2nd anniversary, got busted about 2.30 am after queuing for the best part of 2hrs to get in , banged up in a cell with a few others , was released and told to return on the following Wednesday with a parent to receive a caution (didn't go down to well , but my Dad did agree to come with me ) but was released on the night in question and got back in , just in time for the 3 before 8 and a lift home . 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
