FUNCTION rooms at Darlington Football Club were granted public musical entertainment licences yesterday, despite objections from nearby residents.
Darlington Borough Council's licensing committee approved applications for the Platinum Suite, the Ron Greener Room and the Tin Shed.
Residents complained of anti-social behaviour from drunken people who left the club in the early hours.
One said: "At a recent residents' meeting people complained of litter, cars being vandalised, shouting and swearing and people urinating in the street."
A spokeswoman for the club said it had not received any complaints.
Music licences were also granted to the Holy Family Social Centre and Red Hall Community Centre, in Darlington.
