Life on Liverpool’s doors: Three doormen reveal the challenges of protecting clubland
The tough reality of being a bouncer in Liverpool was today laid bare by three city doormen.
They told how they are subject to abuse as often as every 20 minutes on busy nights as they attempt to oversee thousands of clubbers every weekend.
With partygoers ‘frontloading’ with drink, and an increase in foreign football tours and stag parties, the challenges doormen face have evolved dramatically in recent years.
Three of the city’s most experienced doormen – they hate being called bouncers – detailed life on the frontline of the late-night security scene.
Around 100,000 drinkers enjoy Liverpool’s famed nightlife every weekend.
