and while we're at it ,let's shut all Football grounds down if they're too close.

Fans in London wouldn't mind would they?.Millwall to say,West Ham?.Chelsea and Arsenal fans patting each other on the back "Much better now,with less clubs".

ManCity fans would relish a shutdown in favor of going to ManU.

And as for the Lower Leagues,,,,,shut them down,,who do they think they are,trying to play football when the Elite already have the monopoly??.

Mansfield Town,Forest,Derby,Chesterfield..one of 'em's got to go..............

A man walks into Dragon's Den......................with his tongue firmly in his cheek.

You should think yourself lucky that you have the choice to actually go anywhere....!

Mmmm should I go to Barnsley? Radcliffe? Ritz Prestwich Allniter.....? I think I'll stay home actually...why go out when I can pack boxes for moving and change 2 babies' nappies

It's an easy choice-if you like R&B and uptempo sixties - go to Barnsley

If you like Ritz plays, oldies and modern (probably the best modern room around some would say) go to Prestwich (but get there early)...

And if you want to hear across the board and some classic Detroit Northern Soul (Mr Bicknell is on) and a separate R&B mod/ska room go to Radcliffe.

In fact Radcliffe and Prestwich are so close to each other (only a couple of miles apart) you could stay up here and do both...if you've got the stamina

And I'm sure I don't need to tell you what to expect from the 100 club?

You see I am an expert on where to go even though I rarely go anywhere

Have a good one anyway you moaning old bugger

Well said that man, what does the song say, "Only the strong survive", anyway I bet most Soul nights are Oldies, so they don't count really in our case Ezzie. Now I've heard you like your R&B Ezzie, so me thinks (from what I've heard) that Citrus rooms at Barnsley would be right up your street.

We're off to "Up Front" weekender at Skeggy but if we weren't there we'd be at "Attic" but Skeggy's been planned for ages, so a walk along the sands is in order.

Kev thought Mansfield Town had already "shutdown", specially the attackers, whereas the defence is "Open all hours", boom,boom!!!!

Take care & be safe, "Attic Boys" you have a good un,

Spot.

We were here first so they should shut down all the others!

Ha ha...if you moved the 100 club to Oxford Street Manchester I'd be there every month

It's like this every week - as its been pointed out many times. The crowd has dropped off but the number of events has remained. Why so many people think now is a good time to start new events is beyond me!, especially in the North West. Everything must be catered for and there is an event (understatement) on every weekend. Money's tighter in many cases than it was a few years ago but this seems irrelevant because so many new gigs keeps springing up.

sorry - you got me started too. LOL

most of the people there remind me of PLUG!!!!!! so ill b there as ussual!!!!!!!!! ez

Ezzie you should have gone to barnsley, Mike came over from Lowton and I persuaded him to stay all night, which makes a change

Really enjoyed R&B room apart from it was freezing due to the entrance to the smoking area being open all night

On the event front me and my mate Mike are stating a soul nite in Feb but we consciously checked to see what other soul nites are on the 1st Friday of the month, the other session we could find that may be playing something similar is Roger Bank's do in Spondon and didnt think there would be impact on either do due to the distance

Problem is we are all getting too old to cope with a full weekend anymore, what happen to the days when it was soul night Friday, onto a nighter , doss round someones house on a Saturday until the next soul night or nighter then an all dayer on a sunday before making a valiant attempt to get to work on a monday? Youth is definately wasted!!!

Steve
