ChronicleLive reports.A spokesperson for the Vaulkhard Group, which owns the bar, told ChronicleLive it is a policy that has been in place at the venue for 20 years and is there to "ensure the environment for all customers is maintained".Sue said: "We met her at Grey's Monument and I said 'it will be lovely, we'll go to Barluga'.
I often meet friends there for lunch or a coffee, they have a nice terrace and I thought it would be quiet with a nice ambience and we could have a catch-up."When we arrived there were two bouncers on the door.
One of them said 'you can't come in' so I said 'oh, ok, you're full'. He said 'no, it's because of the top you're wearing'."She said the bouncer had explained it was company policy not to allow anyone in wearing a football shirt or colours.
When she explained the situation to her sister, Helen offered her a cardigan to cover the top-up - but Sue claims the bouncer refused to let her in with it off because, he said: "She would just take it off once she got inside".Sue, who regularly attends Newcastle's home matches, said she had "never known anything like it".
