Fantastic memories, managed to go to Wigan a few times times before it closed but still dancing today at Bisley...great crowd, great tunes and worth checking out if the music is still in your heart!!

I never had a problem there, used to travel up from London on my own and people were always welcoming. Hotfrogs is right about the locals though, but I got in with the top boys in Wigan one night and if I got any trouble on the walk to Station Road would just ask where he was and be ok!

I went all over mate....but our local was Yate, outside Bristol....and we had that problem with the Sat night diso locals coming out if we got there early...sometimes full-on huge fights all over the car park....and the NS crews always won coz we're fitter.....and can kick higher! Hahahaaa! Fuck disco!! Ktf....Skf

Fair do's I went to wigan 1974-80 brilliant it was, but friendly it was not.The " Wigan " crowd were a closed shop. Anyone remember the Beachcomber on a Sunday morning ? ... bad place to be.
