    lads Just a bit of advic please.

    without going in too much details ive a disability that requires me to use crutches most of my life.


    this one pub/club will never let me come in cause iv crutchs.

    "tryed many of times and been told leave the sticks at the door and you can come in"

    i know that the have the right to refuse anyone the like, but if its just over the crutches is it not Discrimination?

    not fair:mad:

    thats absolutely appauling behaviour mate on their part!

    Their point of view must be that the crutches could be used as a dangerous weapon, but thats bullsh*t in my opinion, a pint glass to the face will do alot more damage than a whack of a crutch!

    Total discrimination i reckon, and i for one(great man to hold a grudge) would fight tooth and nail to f*ck them over in some way, whether it be financial or some other way beneficial to yourself

    That is absolutely disgraceful.

    It might be an idea to go into the pub at a time when the bouncers are not on duty and ask to speak to the manager to explain your situation.

    If the situation is not resolved. These are the people to contact.

    Let us know how you get on.

    Yeah it is defo discrimination alright but you would find it hard to take them to court.

    All the doormen have to say is that we have the right to refuse admission into our club and legally they are covered.
