The Neptune Club was a nightmare, i only went in to kill time for the football special what left Trinity St at 7-00 in the morning for Portsmouth away in 77. I think I had more problems in that club than at Fratton Pk when the Bolton loonies turned up early.

I'd agree with the goat botherer and say Sundowners.

 

Got thrown out one night, met a bloke outside who'd just been thrown out, he was trying to arrange to meet us later and torch the place! Nice clientele

Are we talking the former Pink Panther? I'd forgotten about that place.

 

Pips for me. By the time you walked to the bar it was like wading through treacle such was the stickiness of the floor.

Temple and eutopia., the one facing what was Ritzy.

 

Temple was ace when it first opened.

 

.. but it quickly became shit and just turned into your generic cheesy nightclub. Was extremely easy to pull birds in there though for some reason so it got a thumbs up from me.

 

 

I agree on Eutopia/Utopia, that was shocking. That was the last time/place I had a fight (ha, yes, me fighting!!) when some bloke ran on to the dance floor and chinned me because his bird was giving me the come on. Bouncers threw him out and then came over and threw out me for being punched. As soon as they threw me out of the side door he was stood there waiting and hit me again. The brawl finally ended when I swung for one of his mates, missed and punched a bouncer's wing mirror clean off his car. No-one was hanging around after that.

Were you fighting on your knees or are you a dwarf?

Ha, no. He was hunched over and was punching my mate who he had in a headlock. Amidst the chaos I just saw his head was there for hitting, a free shot, like a golf ball on a tee.

 

I missed.

Not a night club but the only thing we have for older types, the swan, it's fuckin grim yet we always end up there

Agree with every word of that.

The house down Seymour road that put a sign up saying 80's club sounded pretty grim from all the screams we heard walking past their last summer.

I was with Lenny with a y, just a random house. We were contemplating going in too.

 

As if! Where about's on Seymour Road was it? Blackburn Rd end, middle or Crompton Way end?

Once called in Pink Panthers after it had been renamed after a night in Manchester for a couple more drinks.

 

A bouncer opened the door with claret all down his white shirt, we give it a miss.

Around late 90s/early 00s there was one club, name escapes me though, you paid a tenner to get in then all your drinks were free provided you took your empty back to the bar. Soon learnt that it was better to go for the bottles of Stella rather than watered down pints. Was impossible not to pull either

I can't go in without a panic attack so don't go at all now. I used to think it was funny to laugh but then realised how sad it was seeing the people in there trying to cop off.
