From: Mad-Biker on 17 Jan 2008 20:54 well, its not saying they cant go in, they just cant goin wearing colours. because they are trying to curbe the violence and rivalry. how do the regular people feel when a bunch of burly outlaws burst into the pub and take over? fear i recon its a long line of legislated attacks on omcg's zeebee, from fortified barricades on theri club houses to this.. I for one, am a little biased, but im for banning of them.
