Never thought Sankeys as a super club to be fair. Gods kitchen, cream, Golden, gatecrasher, ministry and home but Sankeys was small beer compared to them

Rigs No problem with Mancunians. Always thought the layout of the club was horrible too. Not enough space and on busy nights it was a horrific sweatbox. No escape apart from a sketchy chillout area filled with aggro fuckers.

Compare with Fabric or Cream for example, always space to dance and chillout if you weren’t into Room 1 or the Main Room, there was Room 2 or the Annexe (which in both cases were normally better actually).

      Went a few times for Bugged Out, was alright but as Dave said, too packed to throw any meaningful shapes.

      Should have come to The End and ledged it with me lads!

        bosstrabs when all the aggro fuckers are in the chill out room its time to close the doors

          The drive from Stockport to Manchester has to be up there with the grimmest I’ve experienced …. Up there with Mexico City airport to the centre of the capital - miles and miles of slums…. Levenshulme is no different. Lived there till I was 18 and won’t be going back.

            That ADD launch party was brilliant. Sasha was immense. I went loads and never had any major trouble, apart from with the owner, who was a bellend.

            Smallman1 had many a great night in the end. Most memorable was probably one nye where it was Layo & Bushwacka all night then Laurent Garnier came on about 5am

              bosstrabs Went several times during my uni years - best mate was at Uni there

              Fair description I’d say - bogs a cesspit and fucking sweaty. There was a spot behind a speaker stack in one of the corners which weirdly sticks in my mind as ridiculously hot.
              Had some good nights though - Sasha / Diggers natch

              As Phil Mck said Tangled @ Phoenix was a better experience - Terry Pointon resident?

              Also went to the Hacienda just before it shut - 15th anniversary with Sasha & Garnier playing

                Tangled nights, blast from the last, also Micron put on some decent nights too

                  Hursty blimey forgot about micron. Had some good nights in there.

                  Hidden is a decent venue in town these days.

                    Anyone walked around Manchestoh centre around 10-11am on a Saturday?… the female students that fall out of the nightclubs at that time and the way they’re dressed…. Blimey
