Always been an overrated and invariably shit night. Everybody used to force it, you'd be almost guaranteed to see trouble as there's too many people unable to handle their booze forcing it down their neck once a year. then all the pubs and clubs would rinse you for every penny they could despite the fact they're begging you to come in for free a week or so beforehand. Local pubs, town, didnt matter, it always ended up an expensive disappointment.
Best NYE's I've had over the years have either been something organised like warehouse project which i did a few times over the years and was always class or some kind of house party.
Makes a change having no city around it this year. remember some mammoth efforts in recent years. Doing palace away 12.30pm nye and surviving the day making it until midnight when youve been drinking since 3am for the trip down to london was brutal.
there was a late-ish kick off away at everton one NYE with a rush back for nye plans and one time going straight through one nye celebrations for swansea away early kick off, that one was an absolute killer. Made them memorable at least.
Long since stopped even contemplating doing anything now, if theres no city, nye to me is just a night where I've got to get my dog through the fireworks
