It shut around the time that I moved to Wigan (or Wigan area anyway) so I never went. I'd never have got in anyway if I'd been with Grego, although me and Mrs JTB were going to give it a go once. Let's not forget its previous incarnation as Puffers in the 70s, where my mum would end up after a night on the town.

The main question is will I still be banned?

What were you banned for Cruncher? Arguing at length with St Helens fans?

I never failed to get into Pemps - in fact it was always my fall back in case I couldn't get in anywhere else. I'm talking early/mid 80's. In fact, I once had a spectacular, Merrydown-induced technicolour yawn on the dance-floor and still got in the next week.

it was that rough the arms on the chairs had tattoo's !!!

The Tavern, JJ's - cowshed.
Watching Yvonne McCann with that snake on the stage was a sight to behold.

She doesn't live too far away from me now. I've never seen her but my Dad tells me tales about her. I wish she was around in my formative years

the first time i went in there it was called glitters, and a massive fight erupted about 10 mins after we got in and spilled out onto the carpark, with chairs and tables flying everywhere

What did she do with the snake?

WTF...officers clubs an institution on its own, and nowt like pemps.

so why lower its status for a quick buck (think i spelt it right)

i was a pemps regular, then when i was a bit older i was an officers club regular.
i remember it opening...class.
brick walls, chesterfield sofas, a glass piano and a space invaders table game

sheer class.

if theres demand for a pemps night, then reopen pemps

have you never watched any dutch films ?

I had a mate who played bass in the resident band there.
