Cleethorpes Pier not quite going going gone!

“Bomb it to smithereens”

“@socks_uk you have just explained what im already aware of. I myself dont go clubbing anymore as im pushing 30 and would much rather go to my local pub one in a while. My opinion hasnt changed,the pier needs to close for good and money spent on something else”

“@ xxx666xxx
"@socks_uk u said any place that was full of drunken people was a place u would avoid. Didnt you contradict yourself there because im sure the pubs and clubs you went to was also full of drunken people.

The places I went to and my choices of entertainment between the age of 18 - 23 are an age away from what I enjoy doing now. People change and I'm sure there are many people of my age that wouldn't dream of entering a nightclub nowadays but then again I'm sure there are still some that do. That is my choice as it is their's.”

“I bet the red arrows are coming from people who have never been inside the pier. Probably a bunch of oaps that are going to miss sitting on the boardwalk licking a 99 ice cream in their wooly hats in the middle of summer.”

Didnt you contradict yourself there because im sure the pubs and clubs you went to was also full of drunken people. What i said was years ago when i went in the pier it did have filthy sticky carpets then between 2000/2005. If the pier was such a great place then a buyer would have snapped it up,it needs demolishing like the winter gardens although i think they should have saved it as it was for the more mature. Good day to you :)”

“The video n the BBC News website shows 2 inside shots of the pier. At 48 seconds in it shows the 'nightclub' with not a sticky carpet in sight and also at 1.11 it shows the front bar where the acoustic music events were held. I

" If u never went out and let your hair down then in my opinion is very sad. Did u sit at home with crossword book on a weekend"

I obviously don't know your age and you don't know mine but on my regular nights out I went to Strides, The Flam (Flamingo), The (old) Barge, Grinders, Gullivers and Deans - or was it JDs - whatever it was named after it was developed. I didn't start to go out again until the smoking ban came in and generally it is to watch live bands, hence my visits to The Pier.
I would much prefer to go to the cinema, a restaurant or stay at home than visit a nightclub nowadays. Not that it is anyone's business but mine, but thank you for the concern.”

“@socks_uk inside the main building your feet used to stick to the floor because constant spilt drinks made the carpets sticky and the doormen used to let a lot of underage girls in as i was one of them. My time spent in there was just a part of growing up like the majority of people. If u never went out and let your hair down then in my opinion is very sad. Did u sit at home with crossword book on a weekend”

“It's not a dump inside... I was frequently going to the front bar on the pier on Sunday afternoons just before it closed to watch local musicians play acoustic sets. Quite a nice atmosphere in lovely surroundings. Children's parties were going on in the function room.

I had never been to the pier during the period it was a nightclub so maybe it was a dump then but any place full of drunken people would be a place to avoid in my opinion!”

“Why would anyone want to buy that dump. I used to go many years ago because it was the only place open so late,it was a teenage free for all and now its about time it was demolished”
