Aint all down to the ban, that was just the final nail, to my mind the "First" nail was the advent of sodding Bingo, many young uns used to call in clubs early doors fer a game of snooker,few bob in bandits etc, many including me stopped goin in em when that started, to me that was future generations lost fer ever.
