[Less]

A friend of mine suffers from arthritis, due to which doing shoe laces and belt buckles up is difficult for him.

He turned up at the Calder the other week dressed in tracksuit bottoms and wearing Velcro fastening trainers, he was refused entry because of dress code.
Even after explaining his reasons no way could he get in.

His friend that was with him was allowed in,

HE was wearing a dirty set of overalls and scruffy steel toe capped boots, does this make sense?
I think if someone was to be violent in a pub I would rather they allowed the guy in trainers in, they at least would hurt less than steel toe caps!
