no, the place I mean was further along towards Hove, maybe it wasn't Revelations. This thread is doing my brain in, I'm still trying to remember the Electric Grape! But I'm sure I went there

It was the club below the Abinger i was thinking of
Did it start with Str.......
?? Brain fog
It was a tiny shop front, on Queens Road up from the clock tower on the left. Say just 15 doors up. It wasn’t open for many years. Early 80’s.

Under Kingswest the club was called Revolution. Maybe the club you are thinking of further up towards Hove is Brighton Belle or Pallet Rooms. I can't remember the Electric Grape either.

Anyone go to Bentleys, just down from the clocktower on the right, frequented by many of our players. My mate was on the door, asked me to do a few shifts with him when I was on leave, plenty of girls around, once the footbalers had left!
Also memories of seeing Jimmy case and Fozzie in Coasters on the Friday night before we played West Ham on Peter Wards return, they were both pissed at 1.00 am and playing that same day. Big fight in the North Stand and Frank Lampard was sent off, can't remember the score however and Wardy didn't score unfortunately.

Tried to get in a few times after Coasters closed at 1am, but snotty doormen weren’t going to let in late teens wearing casual.

Ha ha, sorry about that, only ever did a couple of shifts, for cash. The stories about the women, were unfortunately just that, stories.

I had a membership card for Bentleys and have still got it in one my old wallets. Fred and his wife Steph were co-owners (I think) who were at the Ship in Lewes Road and then moved to the Brunswich at the Level. I had some good times at that club.

Up the Albion!
Think I went a**e over tit down the spiral staircase in there. Only went in a couple of times as a long shot when being refused everywhere else. Was it just me that had a hard time gaining entry in to the usual haunts? Not every week, but far too often that's for sure. Once got refused from the Coconut as there were "too many Brighton" inside already!

Pink Coconut - caught pee-ing out the ground floor rear fire door in Middle Street. I made up with the management the next week, to avoid a ban from a prime venue.
If doormen didn't let us in, we didn't make a massive fuss, to avoid a ban. A couple of associates took swings over the years, lost and then received painful bans.
Used to go there when the players were 'unwinding', good fun, who was the owner a nice guy charismatic fella, good fun.

the Sussex Yeoman (my friend called the landlord a rude word), The Escape and a gay club (caught going in via the fire exit) and the Argyle (falling asleep on the bar)

It’s been a bar or sorts in recent years, like some said it was a shop front type place either next door down or a couple of doors down from what I still call The William Tell (opposite where the club shop used to be)

I did a blog on 90's nights in Brighton a while back. Might not be everyone's cuppa though...:
