Door staff are nothing like they used to be, due to changes in the law and the way door staff are licenced. Years ago "Bouncers" may have got away with more than they do now. All people see when they are on a night out is " look at that doorman he has just punched that young lad for no reason", people dont see what goes off before. Alot of people had bad views of doormen. There are always bad eggs in every job but can you imagine a night out down town without doorstaff working anywhere, you would have something to moan about then. It would be mayhem.

Sorry but I am going to use this thread to my advantage.... Any doormen know of any work going anywhere. I worked the doors in Rotherham for 5 years but packed in when the new licensing laws came in to effect. I have just finished NVQ and I am waiting for my badge.

deano, The doorman was just doing his job. If you are going to start mouthing off at a doorman you must be prepared to accept the results of what you have started. Look at it this way if you were a club owner and you saw a punter mouthing off at one of your security staff what would you expect to happen. If you had been given a good hiding for no reason then you would have a point but to be "thrown to the floor" when you are bladdard you would have been unsteady on your feet anyway, a gental push could have sent you tumbling.
