Admittedly it needs a lot of people to fill it up, with a capacity of around 3,000. Brandon Block was still playing his set when people started tom leave. At fist it was only a few people, then more and more people left, leaving the second room near enough empty. The bar was still full, one of the things about Reading nightlife that's always true. We think the reasons for this is Reading and the surrounding areas have not really woken up to this 24hr lifestyle.
People are far more interested in getting as many drinks in as possible.
You can tell this by 2.00am when all the piss heads and rude boys disappear, leaving a condensed crowd of clubbers, who are there for the duration. Although the Matrix is open till 4.00am, we had a treat as the clocks went back, giving us an hours extra clubbing. The Matrix is due to open two extra rooms next week, with the advent of Gifted, providing us with a Miss Moneypennys tour. Guaranteed to be a good night, there is still a little suspicion in the back of our minds that with the new rooms opening there's not going to be enough people to fill the club. Hopefully our suspicions are wrong and the Matrix will start to achieve the status that it deserves.
