I sense you have some issues with doorstaff in general mate...

I know the firm and the lads you are talking about. In fact I worked for them for several years and in the most part they are a good bunch of lads, paid to do a thankless and hard job. One that 90% + couldn't and/or wouldn't do.

I too am "effectively a nightclub doormen". To generalise in the way you have been says to me you have very little understanding about what your talking about...

You lookin' at me squire? Come on then. . . . .

I work Leeds and felt offended by the comments. We are not all bad (or on steroids!), I'm a really nice bloke I am.

My husband is a nightclub doorman and both of us were offended by this post.

I know the 'meatheads/bouncers/nightclub bouncers' personally and can say they are nothing like what is being wrote about them.
In fact last weekend 34 doormen from the Acca & DS Security played each other in a charity football match raising money for my husband doing the Great North Run for Starlight Childrens Foundation. Many had worked till 6am in the morning, played the match at lunchtime and then went to steward at The Shay in the afternoon before working again that evening......... So far from the picture that Jeff Vickers is posting of these Gents.

I am a Bulls supporter but have friends that play at Fax and from what I have heard and witnessed at matches you need a proper security firm instead of the useless stewards that cant control anything. The language at The Shay is far worse than ive heard in many rugby grounds especially when there are so many children present so I think its a good thing having DS Security there.

And for the record not every doorman or big guy takes steroids.......some people just train hard and work hard
