Members Rudy Posted September 23, 2020 Members Share Posted September 23, 2020 I remember my mate not being allowed into Jaxx because he didn’t have a collar, just a jumper on so he just said fuck it and tried to walk in anyways, bouncer grabbed him by the neck and accidentally snapped his necklace off his neck, out of pure adrenaline my mate spun around and dropped this bouncer, spark out, the other bouncers waded in and gave him a proper beating. Nasty stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted September 23, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2020 Always amazed me that folk could go in with a tenners worth of clothes from matalan but not with a few hundred quids worth from Gucci or Armani if it included jeans, trainers or no collar.

Burndens Bogs Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Scamps had some fairly handy bouncers back in the day. Late 70’s - early 80’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late 70’s - early 80’s Best I ever saw was Trev Roberts deal with eight dickheads single handedly. His rules, when other doormen visited his club (I think it was called Bergeracs on Mawdesley Street) was not to get involved in anything unless invited. The reasoning was that he hits out at anything in his way and doesn’t have the time to make a snap decision of friend or foe. These eight lads decided to take him on. Big mistake! We just sat there admiring his thumps and kicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, i know what you mean I can't imagine PK ever frequenting any places where Trev was on the door, but there are definite similarities - so you never know.

I reckon it is an amalgamation of a few. Ian Birtwistle, former doorman at Maxwell’s Plum and latterly funeral director on Halliwell Road is In there as well.

Bolton was backwards in that respect to clothing requirements compared to the other surrounding competing town centres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
