Places (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)
Hey up Tony nice one.I also went to the Casino on the first Allnighter 29th Sep 1973 only I got let in a side door where a band where bringing there stuff out into a van they had been playing on the Saturday night.So I saw a lad I new who was a few years older than me,who was a bouncer. Sadly no longer with us died far to young. Eddie McCormic lived in Greatacre Whelley when he was a kid,lived near me as I lived in Longshoot just a couple of Streets away.So there you are another free un for Glover and his mate.This was just before the doors opened so I was one of the first in there,but the last to be made a member that night. Mrs Woods could'nt fathem how I had got past without already being made a member,it was a white card but I've not been able to find it gone missing.Always wondered if the membership book survived after the Casino Closed.Think the cost that first night to get in was 75p.Don't know how much that is in today's money something like a fiver.
