Tony Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Right, had a coffee and walked the dog and raring to go! I appreciate what you're saying TBH, but unless the Police know what's going on they won't be able to prioritise or keep an eye on things, even if it starts off as a thankless task Remember that they need lots of evidence these days even if they know who is committing the crimes. The more they get (even if it from drunken club goers) the more chance they have of getting an arrest. Stick in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welchiewelch Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Write to the venue about the incident. Cc the Licensing Authorities and the Police. Maybe contact the Police and try and find out which police spoke to you and they may say what they saw. The venue will have to respond either to deny it or whatever....you don't necessarily have to press charges you can file a criminal complaint which will go against the venue's licensing record. Probably unrealistic to expect the manager to speak to you on the night as that is when situations can get out of control. Anyone else this happens to I'd follow this line of advice but it's best to do it first thing the next day otherwise the venue can "lose" Cctv tapes. On another thought, I was out sat night and saw Police wrestling with fighters etc....and thought how alien it was to me. Then I asked myself why and it was because I'd spent the past 4.5 years worth of sats in Element with our night Phonetics. Fodder for thought. Most doormen are sound and do have to take a lot of nonsense and it is also, in general, not very well paid. But it's not wise for an 18 year old to be working doors. Older hands tend to have had their fill of fighting and just do the job better. Mind you, if they're old enough to die in Iraq!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rosie Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 This should not happen after December because all Doormen have to go on a course and then they can only be a doorman after passing and recieving a license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycleracer Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Originally posted by Tony Instead of moaning on here why don't you moan to the Police and Licencing Authorities? That is the reason he has come on here to ask advice as he is unsure wether to go to the police or not. The thread explains that clearly. This forum will help him decide one way or another. However, what anbout CCTV surely theres enough camaras in that area monitoring the streets, what about getting on to them. The Council runs that and would'nt be influenced by the nightclub.

Tony Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 And my subsequent post explained perfectly well why he should go to the Police / Licencing Authorities. Why should he NOT report it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Kiddick Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Originally posted by deano Has anyone had any bad experiences with city centre doormen? ....... anyway next thing i know he has me in a headlock and is dragging me out ,he then threw me headlong onto the pavement,where i landed at the feet of three policemen,who picked me up,asked if i was ok,and advised me to press charges against the doorman in question. Deano, I just asked a doorman-friend & he informs me that head-locks are definately illegal & should never be used (although they are). Why not go for the jugular yourself mate & contact one of these prolific no-win-no-fee compensation solicitors? A friend & I from work were in a Sheffield bar a couple of years ago & were verbally 'intimidated' by a bouncer who was showing off in front of a couple of young floozies (so easily impressed). Our crime? Sat quietly at a table being responsible 30-odd year olds! We immediately left but not before I'd got his name from the bar staff. The very next morning I rang the bar manager to report this & he was very concerned, he confided that he'd had complaints before re; the same bouncer. Needless to say we have not been in that bar since, as I'd promised the manager. Their loss. Does the name of your bar have anything to do with a "CRISP-MANUFACTURER" by any chance (if you get my drift). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rosie Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Its a shame the doorman involved can`t tell us his version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Kiddick Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Perhaps when he develops language skills, say in another couple of million years of evolution - he will tell all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffness Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Deano you should definately be following this up. If you dont get anywhere so what? at least you tried to prevent him doing this to anyone else. Admittedly bouncers have to cope with a lot of nasty people but so do the police, bar staff, taxi drivers etc etc and any of them did this then you'd definately be reporting it. Even tho he's a bouncer there no way he should get away with this type of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
