On topic, THIS people of Bolton is why you will find it difficult to fund a proper nightclub in the TC.
Those who can't keep their fists too themselves are ruining the quality of our TC nightlife. The same people will be **** out when the TC is full of nothing but entertainment for people over 40. As with what has happened at Vogue.
In Bolton you have a choice... stay in the same bar all night because everywhere has exactly the same entertainment policy of 80's music or if you can find the alternative which is becoming scarcer - you risk having your head stoved in by idiots that are only out to cause trouble, trollied on vodka that they drank at home before going out. I do blame the smoking ban in part as this is what happens when you go outside for a ciggy lol. *controversial*
Maybe it's all Wigan council's fault lol - conspiracy.
I hope the guy is ok now and that he does actually let it drop.

Would anyone in possession of their sanity take their family to a place with such thugs present as the one shown in this police video...
Build a gallows in the centre of Nelson square and re-enact some historical events where the thugs become the stars..but only for a moment!!!!!
