goldenfleece Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 both Westways and the other place in Doncaster are closed, it is reported the interior has all been trashed at both venues, and the Managers have fled.....unlikely to be re-opening according to my sources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavsheff Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 To be fair, the clientèle in the two bars mentioned aren't all that different to westways clientèle anyway. Lets just hope that Westways regular crowd do just move to one of them two bars instead of spoiling other peoples nights elsewhere in the city. This is a good point, Westways attracts a 'rowdy' crowd and ideally we want them crowds to stay in one part of the city centre and not go looking for trouble in other venues, so in my mind if they end up in Static or Basement, this is a good thing. The door staff at Static in particular are use to dealing with the same sort of crowd of people. Maybe I am mistaken, however I don't believe I am. Without giving too much away, we'll say I have a lot of involvement in Licensing and Security around the city centre. And I've worked personally with Westways (although I never would again). My understanding is that its closure is related to both financial issues and pressure from the authorities regarding the fact its a problematic venue. If it is due to financial reasons and what I've been told is true, then the club in Doncaster might be the next thing to go. In my mind, Westways was always going to eventually end up in trouble. You could tell this whenever anything kicked off, although they did hire a few decent door staff, a lot of them were simply hired thugs. Every now and again, they would get a few decent door staff in to help clean up the venue, but then they'd go back to the same cheaper door staff and everything would go down hill again. For venues like Westways to work, there has to be respect between the customers and the security / management / other staff. Sadly, there often isn't that much respect at all, and sometimes the door staff are scared of the problematic customers and don't want the hassle of turning them away, so let them in anyway, then wonder why there are fights kicking off every 2 minutes. I've seen door staff in venues approach customers who are out of order and need to leave, realised they know them or they are scared of them and let them stay, this should never happen! i to have worked for the club i have now been informed it is financial and am not totally surprised however there are decent people losing jobs now and that is bad.

Paul2412 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 i to have worked for the club i have now been informed it is financial and am not totally surprised however there are decent people losing jobs now and that is bad. I'm sure decent people work there, but the people who go there for a night out are no better than the idiots who go to Embrace. Let's hope its just Embrace that gets them now and they don't pollute the better parts of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
