Wankers!

Wankers!

Be careful my old son. You might be ground sharing with Gillingham before long.

What contributions are you lot talking about on PikeyPalace.net? Memories of great Croydon night spots?

 

[Marlton & Hove Albion]

For those that used to go in Shades was it Front Bar, Back Bar or wine bar?

Maybe all three?

In between all three. Kick off always at Shades and then the usual Iditarod finishing in Busbys or Pink Coconut unless we were crashing a party.

There was a spot in Shades where all three connected bars. That was our spot.

Simple minds 'Love song' and 'Promised you a miracle' followed by Once upon a time album is missing from your list i beleive.

A thousand pardons. List not complete without Simple Minds ~ Especially New Gold Dream.

Can add plenty many more......but that was a major oversight.

I was a lager swilling Busby's member, f***ing loved that place.
I remember when it first opened & we thought it was more classy than Tom's.....till the Pink Coconut started. What a shite name for a club in Brighton of all places! We nicknamed it the Red Mango, which developed into just "Mango's" or the "The Mango".

Anyone else own up to wearing a paisley shirt with the button done up to the collar? Probably bought from Reporter in Duke St. This was a bit later though, mid 80's.

yes i did, and with a gold belcher chain worn outside the shirt

There was a spot in Shades where all three connected bars. That was our spot.

Saturdays before games the Mrs and I used to meet and then meet up with others in the Shades back bar, unless it was heaving and then we used to go to the wine bar.

We used to have pate and a chunk of french bread from the food counter with a pint of harveys....very nice.

Sunday evenings after the pictures in the afternoon we would go and sit in the wine bar......it was always dark with the light being from candles in bottles I seem to recall.
