An article appeared in the local Hull Daily Rag a couple of weeks ago, accompanied by quotes from a local magistrate or councillor regarding underage drinking in Hull.
Spiders, along with Heaven and Hell and L.A.'s were cited by said magistrate / councillor as the main culprits in "encouraging" under age drinking.
Not knowing anything officially, i would guess that as a precaution to this article, its been decided to tighten up the door policy, rather than run the risk of possible, unnecessary and unneeded outside intervention.
I think most realise there may have been a minor (!)issue with this that needed addressing, but lets be honest here, who didn't start drinking or clubbing before the age of 18. I used to go to Baileys at 13, before moving onto Beer Keller a few months later. And Trogg bar at 15 was like Heaven !
Anyhow, if people have I.D. to prove an age of 18 or over, there shouldn't be a problem should there ? Whether its their I.D or somebody elses, i would have thought is the individuals responsibillity and not the clubs, should they get in the club and ever have a cause to show it to the boys in blue.
All the stories doing the rounds at the moment are just that, stories. Spiders is fine, but understandably need to be cautious. If you've got I.D. to prove your age to get in, then you won't have a problem. But what you do need to do is ensure you start bringing your I.D. with you.
And for Roger and Myself, pension books and Bus Passes don't count !
