Two clubbers claim they were refused entry into an English nightclub for "being Welsh. An investigation has been launched by the nightclub. following the incident in Essex.
Jonathan Lloyd and a friend had attended a football match between Wrexham and Southend United in Southend-on-Sea. when they decided to head to MooMoo Clubrooms on the recommendation of locals. It was alleged that a doorman barred their entry on account of their nationality.
"The doorman, who heard our conversation asked 'are you Welsh?' to which we replied yes. The doorman then told us we weren't allowed in," Jonathan claimed. Both men were surprised at the policy, as they weren't wearing football shirts and were smartly dressed, North Wales Live reported.
A spokesperson for MooMoos said it was investigating the incident. Jonathan was insistent in his belief that the fact he and his friend were Wrexham AFC supporters had played no part in the door staff's decision.
He said: "We were standing in the queue, if he hadn't heard our accents we would have got in, so he basically didn't let us in because we're Welsh. We went back later on and tried again and the same doorman said 'are you the Welsh boyos'. He didn't mention football or the fact Wrexham were playing. There was only two of us and we'd had no trouble anywhere else."
A spokesperson for the nightclub told North Wales Live: "We do not condone discrimination of any form in our venue. We have raised this alleged incident with our third-party contracted door team and an investigation is underway."
