If you wanted to make a complete list of everything that made Wigan casino so good. It's my opinion that input from 1 person could'nt possibly be enough to do it. Everybody as a memory from the allnighter that is exclusive to them at the time. A lot of other things made up the personal picture not a single event that had happened. For a very large number of the people there it was'nt a quick journey. I often left my home on a Saturday afternoon to get there on time. Things that had taken place on the way put you in the mood for the whole night to come. The Wigan casino allnighters where on the whole violence free. You get the odd fight that is to be expected in a 1000+ crowd.                       The street gang warfare I was meaning the whole crowd there. Came from many different parts all over the UK. I'm not talking about rational middle aged people. But head strong teenagers full of emotion wound up like a coil ready to explode. Even so everybody was friendly people from the west midlands, north west, south, Scotland, and every part of the UK. Greeted each other like some kind of long lost relation. The worst fights I remember there was the fights with the punk rockers. A slight difference in musical opinions that was all some good fights was the outcome of it unfortunately at the time I liked punk. Then 1 night the train got delayed I walked up from the station straight into a gang of punk's. I thought a kicking here the first came up and we discussed what we would like to do to Wendy o'Williams. The lead singer of the Plasmatic's a big punk band at the time. He seemed more surprised I knew who she was when I mentioned the bands I liked he was a friend for life. He had no real interest in fighting me even with the odds in his favour. I was a lot more use to him intact. We shared a good long conversation on a variety of female punk singers we would be pleased to give 1. At the end of the day, We just talked about the things normal teenagers talk about.

   On the whole most of the teenagers who went to the allnighter where just normal. Exactly the same type that lives in your street. With 1 exception that is, they enjoyed staying out all night doing something they enjoyed. In the eyes of normality you must be doing something wrong. Or you would be drinking too much beer, buying fast food before you spewed the lot up again. Telling your friends about the latest girl you shagged. Mostly exaggerated lies after she told you to piss off. But as Wigan casino was never known for romance, you went for the atmosphere and records not to fall in love.
