Tony Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Unless I'm missing something (which is quite possible at this time Saturday am ) the GC website seems to have expunged all previous references to rebuilding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carborundum Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 do you mean the republic of Sheffield? Yes its being rebuilt look around you at all the cranes ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulmat Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 ^^Yeah, the 'Sheffield' Link at the top just goes to the event at Magna, and I can't even find any mention of the fire, let alone rebuilding GC1. I really do hope they rebuild it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubydazzler Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Where was the Mojo Ruby? I've forgotten benson&hedges No I haven't, it was on Pitsmoor Road, opposite the entrance to Abbeyfield Park, in the old Day's Dance Hall. ~Fantastic place, there's a thread about it somewhere on here already, so won't hijack this one.

Stormy Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Its strange walking past the old site, you can still see the concrete where the stairs were that led to the main dancefloor downstairs, and the raised platforms at the back where the raised bit was. I think we should have a free party there, invite some of the former residents to play, what a way to go out in style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtticusFinch Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I walk past the Crasher site every day on my way to work. Over the summer there were a few builders who rebuilt a wall out of breeze blocks at the back of the site, but apart from that nothing has been done. The fences are often kicked down and someone has graffitied "RIP Crasher" on the back wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottf Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 i would say that they are waiting for the insurance money to be payed to them, or even still argueing about how much they will get! Then you have to plan it- submit planning applications etc etc- its a long process i would guess!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris BIO Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I think the thing you're forgetting Disco is that Gatecrasher did a grand job of doing away with any happy memories long before the fire. What was once a global clubbing landmark was turned into a bog-standard Saturday night meat-market when they realised the trance gravy train was broken down and they could make their money from the 'Dance and RnB' crowd of pish-heads and Galaxy/Hallam listeners. That's just an outsiders view mind, as I thought it was shi'te in both it's forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BasilRathbon Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I wonder if the owners of the old Republic have considered developing a time machine that would enable them to go back to the night before the fire and remove all combustible materials?
