Lapdance club is forced to face the music!

Oct 13 2008 by Andrew Baldwin, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

Wildcats opened just 18 months ago and aimed to take lapdancing away from the stereotypical seedy image of 1980s. But, as ANDREW BALDWIN reports, the champagne has fallen flat and the club has put up the “for sale” signs

‘Away from the 1980s image of sleazy men watching girls in slinky leopard skin bikinis’

‘A victim of the credit crunch. The party is over after a mere 18 months’

IT opened with barely a whimper of protest in March last year.

Wildcats promised it would be a lapdancing club with a difference ... a radical shift up-market from the seediness associated with these places.

Perhaps we had become immune to the clubs or accepted there were few powers to stop them spreading. Or maybe we didn’t care.

Perhaps people were persuaded by the promises of owner Matthew Haycox that he would create an exclusive atmosphere at his Huddersfield business.

“We are trying to bring lapdancing away from the stereotypical seedy 1980s image of sleazy men watching girls in slinky leopard skin bikinis,” he said.
