I really can't understand the 'no trainers' policy in small town nightclubs.
What conceivable difference does it make? Wearing a pair of work shoes to a club does not make it more classy, especially when the venue is rammed full of thugs groping slags whilst dancing to DJ Otzi.

I think it's a hangover (somewhat ironically) from the days of skin'eads and "bovver boots"
IE steel toecaps. If shit kicks off they are horrid to be on the receiving end of.

Yeah
it's a way of diplomatically keeping scallies in tracksuits out. But this only works once, as all the chavs do is scrape together a ben sherman shirt and shoes combo and the place is still full of cunts, just dressed like a 90s soap opera.

Very ironically, if that's the case.
I've never seen a pair of trainers with steel toecaps, whereas if the club's only policy were 'no trainers' you would be perfectly within your rights to turn up in bovver boots.

Best door policy ever.
was at 'The Bomb' in Nottingham a few years ago now.

Door policy on the website simply stated:

'No Knobheads, know what I mean?'

Genius. And never had a moments trouble in there.

Great pub.

I had a friend who worked there
On his first shift one of the customers punched a girl for having an annoying accent (his stated reason).

My friend climbed onto the bar and booted him in the face, then threw him out. My friend then apologised to the manager and was given a raise.

I love(d) that place.
