Will Clubs ever open again????

[Strictly Jake]

Havent been out in like 3 years....but Im dying for a night out round town!

Do we reckon clubs will ever open again?

[DouglasS]

They better open. People have to get back to normal at some point...

Unfair to take away festivals / clubs / fun things to do because about 10 (vulnerable/unhealthy) people are dying a day in a country of 60M. Way More people a day are dying of car accidents.. are we removing cars?

[Strictly Jake]

Im sure its affecting a lot of young peoples mental health too. Genuinely. Socialising at a weekend is important. Especially when unis start up again. Nights out are a must for that

[Firewire]

Car accidents aren't contagious.

[Strictly Jake]

Car accidents aren't contagious.

They are if there is a build up.

[Liam-]

They should be the last things to open

[Barry.]

No, too many people.

[Cherie]

They are open in other countries so yes they will

[LukeB]

They are open in other countries so yes they will

Haven't they banned dancing though? may as well just go to the pub, a lot safer.

Oh I have no idea ...maybe :laugh:

[Kizzy]

I feel so sorry for young people..if someone had said to me in my twenties I wouldn't be able to go to a club for a year I would have gone insane. :/

[bots]

they will open up when we get the infection rate down enough

[Kizzy]

I'll put my y2k ministry of sound on for you jake it won't be the same ... but its better than nothing :joker:

[Mitchell]

Ffs what? :skull:

Offering another activity is so annoying, well just do X instead. Maybe people don’t want to go to the pub and want to go clubbing? Going to the pub doesnt make people who want to go clubbing no longer want to go clubbing?

Many Young people that enjoy socialising enjoy clubbing

This, in all honesty.

I have followed lock down to the absolute letter of the law. But had.it happened when I was in my late teens / early 20s.....I would have been going to all the illegal raves.

Ffs what? :skull:

Bloody hell, Mitchell. It's a joke about a car pile up. :fist:

[Marsh.]

I can't actually believe some of the immature whining (no, this isn't aimed at you Jake). But, yes, annoying that a few recreational activities are being held off a little longer but it's not going to be forever and we're not fully locked down anymore so it's not like there aren't alternatives for the time being.

I agree....now it seems ridiculous to me that any one would want to do anything that poses any risk. I personally haven't been to a pub, restaurant, had a take out or really mixed with anyone but family and a few very good friends (my dad is high risk so not worth it if I have to choose between him and.a piss up).....BUT as a late teen / early twenties, I lived to club. I had no responsibilities, no dependents etc and so would have been really fed up by now so I can get it a bit. Unfortunately, a packed, sweaty, noisy club is bound to be a breeding ground for any virus but people have the right to a bit of a moan imo.

I’m assuming you mean me, not very subtle at all...

I mean a little while longer? It’s already been 6 months.. it’s likely to be another 6 months.

1 year is a Long time, especially when being a young adult is typically 18-25, 7 years. A lot of people her responsibilities by their late twenties, and so it’s not just a ‘small amount of time’ it’s a large amount of time lost.

It might not impact you because You seem to be an introvert, but a lot of people who enjoy socialising enjoy activities like this. It would be understandable if hundreds of people were dying a day, but they’re not.. People should be sensible, if they live with vulnerable people don’t go.. if they work with vulnerable people don’t go.. but the majority of young people live alone or with other young people, and half the workforce are still working from home

[Marsh.]

No.

Oh they do have the right to be fed up. It's understandable. We can't help the way we feel.

But we can help the way we communicate the way we feel and I find the people trying to minimise the pandemic and act as though the vulnerable members of society we're trying to protect are an inconvenience to them doing something that in the grand scheme of things is not very important is very immature IMO.

But, largely, the pandemic has put life and everything into perspective for a great number of people which on the flip side is a brilliant thing.

[Jake.]

No, they’re literally not “contagious”.

But had.it happened when I was in my late teens / early 20s.....I would have been going to all the illegal raves.Oh I totally get that, in my teens up until about 22 I wouldn't have given Covid a second thought. I wouldn't have cared that it existed, I wouldn't have cared if I caught it, and I wouldn't have cared about anyone else getting it. I find it hard to judge young people too harshly for not taking any of it seriously.

I mean, the number is low because of restrictions :shrug:

But... but... car crashes.

[caprimint]

Scrap them and their trash music for good

[bots]

i feel more sorry for people having weddings, stag/hen parties, 18/21st birthdays where the events are tied to a specific date and can't be recreated. Covid has basically destroyed that for now

[joeysteele]

They will re-open eventually.

Although I'm 28, I was not one for clubs myself.
However for those who love that life and atmosphere, they are a necessary part of life.

However, I can see why they aren't able to be open at this time.
In fact I can think of other things that shouldn't be yet either.

Also too though, despite me not being ' not young ' at 28, I'm actually coming across many of those even much younger than myself, being far more tolerant and understanding as to restrictions.
Than many of far older individuals I'm coming across.

That in itself is really heartening to see.

“I can’t come into work for two weeks, I was out at ALDI and caught the car crash”

Weddings etc. can be rescheduled but I agree about fixed dates - "big birthdays", proms, university graduations etc. are life moments that are gone forever.

[user104658]

Clubs can stay shut, absolute cess pits. YUCK. The only reason I ever went clubbing when I was younger is because I enjoyed the pre-club bar scene and that was the majority of the night. We'd go out about 9, I'd enjoy it until about 1am, then someone would suggest a club and I'd tolerate it for an hour then **** off home. They're just disgusting. I'd be more surprised if I went to a club and DIDN'T catch something.

Sounding like a bit of a boomer here TS ;)

[reece(:]

Can't wait to see the day I can once more have a dance and a flirt on the dancefloor then a ciggie and gossip in the smoking area after.

[Tom4784]

There's no realistic way to social distance in a club, they shouldn't open for a long time. It's not like festivals or gigs in which they can split up a field or arena into separate pods etc.

It's just not viable at the moment, but luckily there's other methods of socialising.

[Nicky91]

'It's okay for people to die if it means I can get pissed and go out dancing. After all, they're old and vulnerable and I'm healthy so who cares?'

i know, very selfish those thoughts


those people also gotta adapt to current times, maybe a sort of ''Club from home'' thing, via skype, bit of a music player too, some booze, i know it isn't the same socializing but sometimes alternate options are better than nothing at all

maybe we should offer more alternate fun things to do from home, would also help in reducing number of protests/demonstrations

[Crimson Dynamo]

No we must punish the young for flouting the rules and spreading the virus. illegal raves, demos, house parties.

The 2nd spike is all their fault and they must be stopped


and stopped now

[Babayaro.]

Every so often I get the urge of wanting to go clubbing and am starting to miss it now. I know I'd soon get bored of it again though.

I do hope it returns in some capacity within the next year, because I don't want to be at the 'past it' age when it eventually does. :worry:

I used to go to a rave club every week in the 90s and there used to be a couple who went every week who were in their 40s... they were like minor celebs as they were "so old". There is a reunion back at the club planned for next April and during lockdown the group has gone mad with people saying they are gonna take drugs again for the first time in 20+ years. I've got a ticket but don't think I'm gonna go as I just think it will ruin the memories of the times when we are all past it on the dancefloor :laugh: There used to be St John Ambulance there for people who had taken too much etc and they will need to be there this time in case anyone pops a hip :laugh:

[Dogeatdog]

I hope they open soon I’ve been missing the clubs quite a lot over lockdown. I do think think it’ll be a while until they open though.

[Jigs]

I can't bloody wait to be back in a club.

I hope they're open by the time New Years Eve arrives ...

[Zizu]
