Danger going out?

Is it just me ot has anyone else noticed the increase in violent crimes in city centres late at night?
it used to be fine going out pretty much anywhere at night but the past two nightclubs i've visited have had people getting stabbed outside at the end of the night.
I just think its all a bit pointless really, theres no honour in pulling a knife on someone its just for weak people who dont use their brains.

You may have just opened your eto it more, there's always voilence happening at night....
Its horrible to think that people are afraid of going out at night because gangs (not individuals) are causing trouble. From where I'm from, local gangs of kids are absolutly wrecking the place & beating up people including women & the elderly.
I think in the area I live in there should be curfews on kids, so that they are not allowed to be out past a certain time & that they shouldn't be allowed to stand around in gangs. Obviously it wont happen.
In terms of my own back yard, I haven't seen a brawl or anyone getting started on in a pub/club/in the street now for months and months. The last dozen times I've seen anyone getting hauled into a riot van or pulled apart on the street has been exclusively on match days, so make of that what you will! Admittedly I generally go to extremely chilled out places where people have always liked to kick back and have a laugh rather than get knife-happy, but compared to what I used to see around Newcastle a couple of years ago I'd say things have calmed down a LOT - even in the more concentrated club and pub areas at booting out time. It's outside of the city centre and completely unrelated to drink, drugs and nightlife where the problems seem to be (and seem to be rising).
But obviously it's different everywhere you go.
i never really see any fighting when i'm out really.
i think you just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. just because 2 incidents have happened that you've seen, doesn't mean they happen regularly.
Glad you said that, I shall be pissing it up there this weekend! I think I will leave my Chelsea shirt at home though!
As for my area... depends on where you go... some places its like a war zone at kicking out time! I swear some people leave the clubs early just to get a good seat for whats about to commence!
But there are nice area's too, I tend to go into central London and the surrounding areas now... dont see much trouble round there!
... and if I see anyone staggering down the street with straws stuck in their hair I will be sure to say hi! :razz:
No pulling them out though!! It gets messy!
Salisbury, Southampton and Bournemouth arn't that bad anyway.
FREE PARTIES ARE BACK - well they're getting more popular once again anyway.
This summer there's been loads of free forest parties kicking off near me, and although I've only been to one this year so far, I'm going to make more of an effort to go to these instead of town.
Merrion centre is a bit of a scally area all the time :sour:
Someone got shot outside my "local", but that was a while ago.
I have noticed that actually... I didnt make it to any, but there were loads about!!
Def going to be checking smoe out in the near future!
I love rock city and never seen any trouble in there.
There are cheaper nights at oceana, never been there though. I think it's Tuesday.
Rock City is a dump.
It's a rock club, what do you expect? leather sofas and toilet attendants?
P.s. if you do go to rock city i would advise not drinking pints of stuff if things haven't changed much from when i used to work there...
Chavs/townie types would go to rock city on a friday night as it's the loveshack night they have on, 60's, 70's and 80's cheese :yuck:
I left notts last summer and it never seemed that bad for violence while i was there...
:yes: Exactly, it's a rock club. That's what they're like and I love it. And as rock clubs go, rock city is one of the nicest I've been to.
Eek what's wrong with the pints? I never drink pints of anything but please do tell why I shouldn't incase the urge should ever come over me!
Never been on a Friday, so never seen the chavs. Thurs and sat it is for me.
Ours are always getting busted.
Did you hear about those cocks at the free party last month (may of been this month actually) that kicked shit outta cops? It's those pricks that we don't want and they give the free party scene a bad name.
Some of them are fucking crazy though, one guy jumped into my mate a few times which pissed him off so my mate turned around and launched the guy the face to which the guy just gave him a big toothy grin and carried on jumping around.:shocking:
i`m lucky in that my mum is soft with me and takes me and picks me up from wherever i go
i also am very careful with my drinks and dont let myself get that bladdered that i`m not in control of my actions
First night i worked there was a friday :grump:
As for the pints, it was a case of i've been to the pump room before and it's not the nicest place in the world shall we say... That and in general the lines for the pumps hardly ever got cleaned either.
As i said, this was a while back, so dunno how things are now.
