Demise of clubs is linked to demise of the trade unions.
The Demise of community and pride. Which happened the minute we had no industry anymore.Had a right chinwag earlier with me fatha regarding the dying of pubs and clubs. Namely the WMC.
No prizes for guessing where I'm from - and round out way there were 4 WMC's within a couple of miles on top of 9/10 other pubs only a decade or so ago.
Now there's 2 WMC's and 3 other pubs. People just aren't going out for a few pints anymore and there's no sense of community round our way either IMO.
Crying shame like but just the way it's going.
Anyone care to add their opinions as to why??
Wouldn't be surprised if in the next decade (as like the last) there's a similar number of losses which could mean we've got nowt left by 2025.

Cost
A pint out is significantly more expensive than a can in the house
The steward in there was making an absolute fortune.Haven't read every post but Chilton Club disco used to be legendary up until the mid 90's, people used to come from all over the North East. The disco has long since gone and the club itself is just about hanging on.

'Clubs were?'......This

What exactly could clubs do to attract the younger generation? They offer alcohol, pool/snooker, darts, live sport etc.That's just bull shit.
It basically comes down to them being run by older folk who won't move with the times & cater for the younger generation
Nowt to do with either just a massive shift in peoples social habits in the last 10 - 20 yearsMassive statement.
'Clubs were?'......
Long? How many years/months?

Living in East Durham - makes you realise how much disposable income was lost since the mid eighties. Pubs and clubs closed. I could list many in every pit village.Nowt to do with either just a massive shift in peoples social habits in the last 10 - 20 years
