To me.. and I'll be honest.. the demise of "working mens clubs" started in the late 70's early 80's.. mass unemployment is bound have a bad effect on "working men clubs".. also there was a time when you could not have a drink between 3 to 5 pm in pubs but people so inclined would go to th WMC's.. they were not needed after the new licence laws.
It is a worry.. speaking for myself when I do venture out to some parts I usually end up in a working men's clubs up north.. Lancashire, Northumberland, Cumbria.. all are first class and drinks are well priced..I don't think there is a demise of WMC's.. the pubs have far more problems.
