Club boss rules out distancing
SOCIAL distancing is a “nonstarter” for embattled nightclubs which have been closed for nearly a year, the owner of Glasgow’s most famous club has claimed.
Mike Grieve, 62, has run Sub Club in Glasgow since 1994.
He ruled out many proposals put forward including mass testing and rapid flow tests which he believes are better suited to festivals than nightclubs.
The club boss said: “Rapid flow tests are about 60% reliable and people need to have experience in doing it, it takes all the magic out of the situation.
“What do we do if four people get out of a taxi and three are negative and one is positive?
“From a club’s point of view, it is impossible to estimate when we will reopen.
“There needs to be a chance for young people to go out and socialise not least for mental health.
“I think this summer if we don’t get to that stage, there will be more parties like there were last summer.”
