See or Be Seen manageress Danielle Smith said: "We don't feel the children have done anything wrong.

"They enjoyed themselves at the under-18s nights so much, now they just feel cheated."

A Facebook group, called Save under 18s See or Be Seen, has 979 members, who are all fighting to get the club nights reopened.
