Wasnt just the one incident in the drome,happend weekly remember em coming back all smashed saying u see that lad get the bottle over his head ,u see that gang of lads all doing that 1 fella in,and this happend every time they went.
Not sure about the very early days,im talkin in about 93 ish when it went more hardcore.
Im sure one week the mc got lamped as well? unconfirmed that one tho
Its one place i would of love to have gone to cos the music was me fave at the time but i wouldnt touch it cos of atmosphere shit like that brings just messes the whole night up, para about if u looking at someone for more than 5 seconds
I was going there from end of 91-92 so maybe thats why I never saw no trouble
In 93 everything started to change..and I think thats when clubs started to go a bit dodgy....
I presumed you were talking about early 90's old skool clubs, but agree with dannster and butty there about GT being among the friendliest....one of the reasons I go there is cos its wicked seeing everyone which makes the atmosphere tops
but I'll also say that Come Together is another really friendly place with a top atmosphere
Dodgy clubs I have been to included The Moonraker in Llanelli...dodgy cheesy chart club where you were guaranteed to see a fight everytime you went there (normally started by the bouncers) I got punched in the face once just for standing in the way :S
And I went to a few Spiral Tribe "raves" in Bristol in 93/94 and one time I was with my boyfriend at the time (who was 6'5" with long ginger hair) and the minute we walked in the door he started getting hassle, being called a hippy un all that by this group of lads...they didnt realise I was with him at first and I heard them plan to jump him and beat the shit out of him...so after paying £10 to get in..we left after not even being there an hour :S On the way out I said to the bouncers..expect some trouble in here tonite...
The next day on the news...a group of lads (that had been kicked out for causing trouble) came back just as the night was closing with shotguns, threatened the promotors and bouncers, beat them up and took off with all the profits.....
