Not enough Aussies to staff it.

Plenty over East Hull way.

I used to have that problem at spiders, John Taylor, ex rovers and great britain player, in the 80's i used to think he had a personal vendetta against me till i found out he did this on a regular basis to people he didn't like the look of, funny enough i never had the same trouble getting in henry's or ocean 11 (if i was feeling really brave!! ha ha!!).

Yeah my mate had these issues as well. To be honest, I'd probably have gone to Spiders more than I had done over the years had we not felt it was a lottery getting in. I can't stand bouncers that are like that and now refuse to go to places that turn me or my friends away without offering a reason.

I don't know how old various posters are, but does anyone remember an era when you couldn't get into clubs because you were wearing jeans?

Yeah, I aren't [ithat[/i old! We're in the era where most places let you in in trainers!

Jeans? I remember when you had to be wearing a shirt and tie.

so you'll remeber Bali Haii then?

Odyssey.

And Bierkellar

Had a few good nights in Kestrel - no beer on sale so you had to arrive inebriated, then to finish off the night a few very late drinks in Gothenberg Coffee Club.
Now it's Tower for an hour, snog a dog, back to the '90's

Dont forget Teddys for beddys as well.Remember going in tower 1 night and was gutted i got in...was 18 and it was over 21s night.

Once went to Spiders with a chap I worked with. He wasn't planning to go to a club, but was dressed in trousers and shirt. Anyway, we got to the front of the queue.

"If you come again," said the bouncer, "if you could wear jeans that'd be great."
"Wasn't planning on coming here originally" says my mate.
"That's fine. But if you could wear jeans."

He spent the night feeling a bit overdressed, and to this day it's probably the only time he's ever nearly been refused entry for being overdressed.
