I saw the article in the Star yesterday regarding the return of the Limit club to the Sheffield nightscene. It closed two years before I moved to Sheffield, so I never went, but does anyone remember it and if so, what do you think of the resurrection of the this legendary Sheffield club 15 years after it closed.

It's going to be at the former Club Uropa (which can only be good thing to see both Uropa and Berlins gone for good) between .Zero and Fuel.

Looking at the article, it would seem it's going to be for the more mature person and former clientelle.

Thoughts?

have a look here (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2926&highlight=Limit)

You can't re-create The Limit, it just won't be the same.

For a start The Limit was underground, and Uropa is in the first floor.

Yup, you just can't recreate a club.

The thing about venues is that they all have their day. If they didn't they would go on forever, and clubs just don't do that do they? Giving it the name of a great old club won't mean a damn thing, even if the original operator is involved.

The Corporation does what the Limit used to do, and it probably does it better frankly.

This now plan just seem like a cynical attempt to get something off the ground without having an original idea.

Who now only go out a couple of times a month when they can get a babysitter. :roll:

I have a feeling that it's doomed I'm afraid.

as i remember it - dark, sticky floors and crap beer - but the music was brilliant - i was MUCH younger then too!!

Is this the way forward for Sheffield? Naming new or refurbished buildings after other buildings that people liked but were demolished...Museum pub, Limit Club etc. What next?

It's only a matter of time before a placque saying Coles Corner appears on the Midland, sorry HSBC, Bank. Castle Sq to become Hole in the Road Sq. I see that pub on West St has had another coat of paint, maybe it could be renamed 'the Mailcoach'.

Nostalgia's not what it was though, as they say.

It's not just us, there are the £500K+ Hacienda apartments in Manchester :)

come on sheffield!!

regeneration is slowly getting there!

round that area then your going to have gatecrasher one (republic), fuel (the old purple bar/berlins), the plug (club zero turned into a three room venue) - its going to start being a decent quarter and about time sheffield started developing these as they're great! The only one we've really got is devonshire, encompassing west one and west st into that so I'm all for this!

Where was the limit, dont think i remember it?

There's been a "coles corner" placque on that bank for years.

On (or under) West Street, near the original Saddle pub, I think the area is under an apartment block now.

Edit : http://www.rocknroll.force9.co.uk/pubs/limit.htm

My better half told me last night that she's heard that Club Europa (Isabella's as was) is going to reopen as the new home of legendary Sheffield watering hole The Limit.

Anybody know if there's any truth in it?

I never got to see the original Limit, it closed just about as I came to Sheffield in 1990, and I don't suppose a new place with just the same name can have the same atmosphere but any new alternativey bars and clubs get the thumbs up from me :thumbsup:

Whats the lmit? (forgive me- im young), IF that place re-opens it needs a complete refit and its horrible inside at the minute!!

There is truth in it yes - I was looking at the plans the other day with the owner. Opening is planned for November.

The people who will go to the new one will never have been to the original so it will probably work.

The bands that used to play the Limit won't be playing ether, and their modern counterparts wouldn't go near the place. It just sounds like another identikit club that's trying to cash on on past glories. This new one won't be anything like the old one. H&S don't like everyone paddling through urine as they go in these days.

Paul Young won't turn up at the last minute if the League get drunk and forget, and the Clash ain't going in to smash up their set.

Goths won't drink alongside townies and students alongside punks. It's all gone, and a name doesn't bring it back.

There's no way it can even be remotely close to the original Limit in a million years, so don't get too excited. The Limit was 20 years ago - we've all moved on, including the club industry.

Any idea how to get in touch with the person organising it?

PM me Classic Rock

I didn't say it wouldn't work.

You can't re-created an atmosphere......and that's what was special about the Limit.

I saw the article in the Star yesterday regarding the return of the Limit club

I missed this - which of the two guys is still involved? I've been wanting to touch base with George Webster for years - he managed a band I was in in the 80s & lent me an amazing Rickenbacker 12 sting. I had many happy gigs at the Limit, although the roof was a) low and b) covered in artex, so my head was tender after any leaping about ;)

whenever im on the P.I.S.S usually around 2/3 weekend a month , i have frequently heard by males/females saying "this is just like the LIMIT ONLY BETTER",and i am always in the basement of the CASBAH when i hear it umm:partyhat: :wave:

Are we not all umping to conclusions here? How do we know it'll be going for the same formula, or even trying to recreate the same atmosphere?

Gotta say the Casbah downstairs does remind me of the limit. Although I wouldn't say its better.

Certainly has a similar feel, although I went to the limit in the later days for the acid house nights. Which were superb

OK so I've seen the gigantic banner opposite The Plug.
"The Limit - If u build it they will cum"... nice :P
Anyway I was wondering where this new club is planning to be?

Anyone have any inside info?

At what used to be club europa/isabellas.

Yup but then I'd have to kill you :hihi:

So who is behind this new LIMIT revival? Promoter on the SHeffield scene or an existing club owner?....more info please..
its a curious concept to revive as surely most of that clubbing market now has been taken between the Leadmill, Casbah and Corporation. To make a dent in those areas is going to take one hell of a club!!!!


But if it does not have proper sticky carpets, it AINT gonna work.....

Hey maybe the next revival can be Rebels!:banana:

I was (unfortunately) in Burger King last week with little foxes and found myself pointing out the blacked out and boarded up windows opposite and recalling all those crazy nights.

the limit was the best lets make no bones about it [for us lot who remember] BUT you can never replicate n repeat just ask GAZZA we have the memories lets not spoil them eh:)

Unfortunately not at that location. Its a derelict mess inside and the roof has fallen in, wiring all ripped out, smashed toilets, totally trashed its beyond help. Great idea though for another one somewhere else......and one that has not been forgotten.......

Maybe Im just getting old and harking back to the good times. Its just that however they try to bring out a club with rebelesque overtones they just can't manage it. Heck there are 70's bars and 80's bars, why cant we just recreate Rebs and even have the bottle bar again!

Fox would love a bar/club which was not filled with pre-pubescent moshers who think life began with slipnot.:clap:

I agree with you 100%. Bottle bar...oh heaven! What an 80s concept that was picked up by some other clubs as well and then got forgotten about.

Life indeed did NOT begin with Slipknot....what a HORRRIBLE thought.

Unfortunately any attempt to 're-create' a former club, unless its in the same location, is not really going to be the same. Capturing the spirit of another venue somewhere else is virtually impossible....hence I cant see why the LIMIT revival is going to actually work. If its trying to attract the original LIMIT crowd, it has a very difficult market now as all these people are in there late 30's at LEAST and do not by the very nature of life comitments, etc, go clubbing very often as compared to 16-25 yr olds. A new LIMIT aimed at the younger market, well how is it going to pitch itself? How is it going to usurp the Leadmill, Casbah and Corporation? I cant see it happening but its a brave thing to do.

We are already saturated with nightclubs covering thesame sort of market as the original LIMIT...and if its going to be a new concept, then why actually call it the Limit anyway?

However, I have a cunning plan........

One of the original Limit owners is behind the new one and it's not trying to be what it once was - it's not going to be a rock club.

Hi! I have inside info cos its my dad that is re opening it! He had it the first time round n so therefore decided he wanted it again! The opening is on the 25th of Nov so come down! I dnt think its gonna be for slip not fans as we are gonna be playing a lot of funky house music but all types are welcome! Including slipnot fans! holly x

The 'new' limit is going to be a new concept from the old one! We are just basically trying to create a new good club for Sheffield! My dad isnt trying to re create anything as he owned it in the 80s and u cant re create that era! The music is going to be mainly funky house and so far we havent had any plans to put on any rock. If u need any information Im here! ps the opening is the 25th of Nov n u are all welcome! holly x x x

Yeah, there aren't enough clubs playing funky house in Sheffield :suspect:

hi holly i wish you and yer dad all the best, im born n bread in sheffield i think any independent operator in this town deserves a knighthood at least an m.b.e. hurdle after hurdle redtape after redtape and then just when you think it couldnt get anyworse " ITS NOT AS GOOD AS OLD LIMIT IS IT" :loopy: all the very best off luck holly and her dad, sheffield needs more people with that entrepernerial [is that the word ] just like U2 [what a band] :thumbsup:

i wish people would stop putting this new venture down in a way that dismisses it way before its even opened.

any decent addition to the city centre should be welcomed as part of the city's rebirth

however I do agree that with all the funkyhouse playing bars and despite the fact that band music in Sheffield is again on a national profile, its strange that its choosing to be the former instead of the latter. West St. Live is a welcomed addition as a bar and The Plug to be honest is awesome but we need more venues or bars orientated round that way in my opinion. We are the fourth largest city in England and yet we have very few venues.

Shame about the Barfly to be honest, they should get its counterparts in other cities to reopen with all the publicity we're getting at the moment.

I agree with u totally! I sing sometimes with the accoustic angels at the boardwalk but find it difficult to find anywhere where i could go and sing just me on my own in an environment that welcomes everyone not jus well known bands! But we are tryin to giv wot paying customers want and what they want seems to be funky house! x

Are you sure thats not just by looking around and seeing what's successful e.g. gatecrasher and thinking that you'd like a piece of that? As a club it will surely be in direct competition and surely its better to create your own niche (i n the proper use of the word not the club!) rather than go against all the other funkyhouse nights out there - especially when all the students go home and 50 000 people move out the city centre, leaving all these similar places competing over the same relatively small market and leaving all the other demographics without anywhere to go (and the clubs losing all that potential cash)

I wish you all the best and I'll definitely be down to check it out but I wish investors would start taking a look at what Sheffield DOESN'T have and then try to fill that void. It would be so much better to have a choice and diversity in the city centre.

Acoustic angels huh? you got some mp3s somewhere by any chance?

Thats a pretty ignorant response. For a start they mentioned '4th largest in England' yet you quote Glasgow, Cardiff & Edinburgh.

And yes, Sheffield IS the 4th largest city in England

Sheffield (http://www.shef.ac.uk/city/)

Yes this it true and reguarly debated on this forum.

The other larger cities in England are

1) London
2) Birmingham
3) Leeds

The city of Manchester is smaller than Sheffield because that counts only the centre of the manchester area. Of the whole of the greater manchester area, a large proportion of the population live in annexed cities and towns e.g. Oldham, Stockport, salford etc..

Originally posted by cellarhigh

I have been told that the New Limit is not going to be aimed at students but sheffield people, because they feel that there are too many clubs aimed at students in this city, they are aiming for bands to be on in the new year, and Paul from the original Limit will be DJing.

Also it will be a club rather than a late bar. Which I read as meaning, doors opening more like 10 or 11 PM

Not it isnt gonna b a late bar its gonna be a club from 10 til the early hours! Fair comment about the students leaving but as a teenage clubber myself we dnt go for places that r busy we go for the music n at the moment it is funky house! I can totally see wot ur sayin n maybe in a few months we will hav to adjust but so far its lookin good! x

From my point of view I wish you good luck. It's obvious that the most important thing is to make it a viable bar, and if you have to have student type nights to do that, then that's fine. You can't rely on middle aged people who were thronging to the club every week 20 years ago.

I am looking forward to seeing the words "The Limit sheffield" on tour schedules of up and coming bands again, it's been too long since that happend :thumbsup:

Anymore news on this?

Opening night 'theme' etc?

I'm gonna miss the opening night, as I'm going to see Faithless in Manchester, but will try and get over the weekend.

Wish it all the best.....will be most interesting the see what happens. We need much more in the way of nightlife here.......and something that does not clone Crasher or Mingdom is extremely welcome......I still think it may be pitching a bit too close to the Corporation and Leadmill patch, but then, a little bit of competition is always a good thing for anyone......

Anybody know whats going on with the new Limit night club eg whats booked, dj's/bands/music policy ect?? I've seen posters round town but there hard to read while driving!!

yeah- i couldn't see as i drove past one the other day!!

This place used to be called "Berlins" and was closed down by the police 3 years ago because there were all sorts going on with drugs and was a meeting place for all the low life. It was a horrific place and the staff and management were the worst culprits.

I hope it is not going to attract that bad crowd to Sheffield again. Its places like "The Plug" and "Fuel" which has made this area safer, fun and entertaining for all. Please don't bring us back to those dark times.

It will be opening on Friday 25 November, I will sample the atmosphere and let you all know about my opinion.

It didn't used to be called Berlins - what was Berlins is now Fuel. The Limit is what used to be Uropa.

Friday and Saturday it's 10pm - 6am and the line ups are:

Friday
The Groove Assassin
Paul Unwin
Julie & Bennett plus band
Paul Metcalfe
Nesreen Shah live vocalist
Live percussionist
DJ Stan

Saturday
Dan Metcalfe
Pete Simpson live vocalist

Where do you get your information from?

Berlins ( as Purple ) had been attracting younger and younger drinkers for many years and they had to put a stop to it after much talk about 13 year old girls getting served, and a woman storming in and frogmarching her little daughter out of the place and back home to bed.
The prime minister visited their new higher security regime and everyone patted themselves on the back at what a great success it all was.
But guess what, nobody went after that, the place had become such a youth club that there was hardly anyone over 18 left who wanted to go in the place and it closed.

Before it was Berlins it was Dingwalls and before that Hoffbrau Haus, and before that it was a supermarket.

The new Limit was previously Uropa, which used to be open until daylight and dizzy looking students could be seen staggering about and laying on the pavement on sunday mornings.
Before that it was Isabellas {1980s}and before that PennyFarthing {1970s}

Come down on the Fri or sat nite, or even better both! Oh n by the way I hope ur opinion is a nice one which im sure it will be! Holly x

didnt berlins used to be a rock band venue along time ago muddycoffee? ive heard people say that theve seen bands there.

it was called dingwalls.....i saw the damned there

I think Dingwalls was a long time back, I remember waiting for the bus with my mum outside, and there were still huge fake barrel ends mounted on the side of the building, from the Hoffbrau days. Hoffbrau was a kind of German style drinking place.
When it was Dingwalls I vaguely remember pictures of huge Tucans on the barrel ends. This must have been around 25 years ago appx. 1980.

Hi,

I have a couple of questions about the new Limit for anyone in the know:

I think the posters around town mention a dress code. Does anyone know what the code is going to be?

Also, are they selling advance tickets. If so, from where?

Ta,
Dandy

Grab a flyer for free entry over this weekend - there's some in the Brunch n Lunch sarnie shop just up from Plug.

Dress code is basically make some sort of effort me thinks - normal stuff :)

So is anybody else going tonight then?

Any reports from the first night anyone? Or are y'all still in bed?

I was all ready to go, having picked up my free invite flyer (ta for the tip, FnkySknky) but then got caught up with extended pub opening times elsewhere and never quite made it - lightweight that i am!

well i went it with loads of mates last night, wasnt feeling it really, its upstairs, and its fairly small, but its clean and ok inside. music started quiet, anyway, i got bored so i went to republic... after republic at 2, i went back in :D stayed til 4 and just chilled, its ok i suppose, nothing to rave about

Did you go? I did, wasn`t that impressed. But will Definitely give it another go.After all, i was a bit drunk.

Spoke to a couple of mates who went and they were V disappointed. As old Limit lads I think they (and myself) expected it to be like the old one, music wise that is, not the flooded bogs and sticky carpet. I've yet to go, maybe next week but now at least I know what to expect

Did anybody go over the weekend? What was it like?

Originally posted by Ged303

I went in after Scuba finished on Saturday and we didn't have to pay, just walked straight in - it seemed more like a bar than a club, especially in comparison with my vague recollections of the old Uropa. The music was just bog standerd 4/4 house but since it was free to get in and we could continue drinking until 6am I'm not complaining...can't remember what drinks prices were like or much other by way of specifics, except there seemed to be quite a mix of people and no particular theme...however these recollections should be taken under advisement since we were all pretty inebriated by the time I got there. I'd like to hear what others thought of the place in case I got it completely wrong!

With it being opening night there were a lot of people in that wouldn't normally ever go near town at night unless they are on the promise of a freebie ;)

That said, give it a bit of time and see how it settles down when the blaggers and liggers have retreated back to the wine bars. :)

ye pls giv it time guys! Its early days n we had lots of probs jus b4 the openin! xxx

Check yer pm's HJdollyaby, message sent to you.

did my usual bit of entertainment on fri and sat..

folks came back and told me it was absolutely nothing like the old limit.. which is good, because the original limit cannot be replicated.. music policy is 2005 not 1977, think they were expecting the smiths / clash / punk / indie etc being played...

closest you'll get to the old limit is the casbah..
similar music policy(bar and club)..
most of the regulars were limit people (not forgetting the wap legends who still come down)..
underground club, sticky floors and loud (great) music
no dress code

good luck to the new limit, anyone trying to break through in this village, will need a little !

maybe now the niche has closed for a while, that crowd will stream through the new doors ?

not bin down to the new limit yet. deffo gonna check it out on a monday when thta starts to see what its like!

Wasn't the limit a rock / indie kind of nite?

Probably a good point, but if I can drink until 6am without having to pay for entry to what would be a very average attempt at a club, I'm not going to complain!

dont know y they changed it to play house buti think its a good idea to play house.

They cant actually INSIST on your address, only ask you nicely for it. This smells very fishy to me and somewhat desperate, as if they are trying to build up a huge mailing list for some reason. I remember going to a club once in Nottingham and giving name and address to some "promotions" person, and the club in question then sold the list to one of those internet 'mailing list' companies....I got crappy junk mail about buy five for the price of one pizzas, get a great car deal from Peugeot, new windows, window cleaning services, naff catelogues, and new conservatories for 6 months!!!!! DONT DO IT!!!!

Ask nicely for it? These guys dont know the meaning of the word nicely.

I am the promoter that launched the Monday Sessions night @ Limit. There are too many problems/issues with that club thats why we have relocated it to another venue. One of their other biggest problems is not being able to play music loud until 11.30 or 12 due to the clause in their licence.

On looking at this post it looks as though most people dont like the venue anyway.

They were asking everybody for peoples addresses, if you dont give it to them then you are not able to gain entry into the club. Personally I think that is wrong to force people to give their addresses which also looks bad on the promoter of the night even though it wasnt my choice. They are the ones that collected all the addresses even though I was against the idea.

Monday Sessions has NOW Relocated to a much classier venue. The venue info will be put on our site and this site tomorrow. Check www.MondaySessions.co.uk for more info or call the info line on the messageboard on our site.

Loads of clubs ask for your details - just give them false ones.

Does not sound good practice at all unless they have some sort of private members club licence only?

Exactly, I would have thought that was common sense. I have never in my life gave my real address details to a club. :thumbsup:

Whats the story with Limit?
Good, Bad, Busy, empty? ive heard different things.

i have even heard it might be closing as well!

its a dump....cant believe the owners open up its that much of a dive!!!

i would neva go to it again!!

this place is absolute dive!!!

its an embarassment to sheffield nightlife

I think that calling this club The Limit is a bit stupid, because people from outside sheffield are getting all excited that the original Limit is back. I have had many e-mails from people who are thinking of coming to sheffield so they can go to the Limit again and hear the type of music which they heard in the 1980s.

The original limit was a legendary Venue which had many punk alternate and indie gigs and had that kind of music.

This Limit is a place which has nothing to do with the old Limit, and is a bit misleading to call it such. Every time I have been at the door and asked the staff what kind of music? It's always Funky house? I haven't a clue what funky house is but unless it's rock or punk what's the point in going in ?

I bet there is a few people who have paid their money and gone in, only to find that it isn't what they were expecting inside.

I hope it is not going to attract that bad crowd to Sheffield again. Its places like "The Plug" and "Fuel" which has made this area safer, fun and entertaining for all. Please don't bring us back to those dark times.

It will be opening on Friday 25 November, I will sample the atmosphere and let you all know about my opinion.

Sorry my dear correct me if I'm wrong but the new limit did not used to be Berlins, that was the bar next door.

Small mistakes can sometimes cause big problems always check your info first.

well miss jones i think you feel very strongly towards peoples views on limit. I am only giving my thoughts/ complaints about the venue!

i think the majority of people feel the same that its a very below average club!

I think the point that people were tryin to make was that if they were to explain to the customers the reason instead of 'If you dont give us your address your not coming in' then more people may give their correct details instead of false ones and that would also stop people complaing!

You do, I also have the right to give you fake details or tell you to fork off.

WTF are your kids doing in clubs? Name me one other club that does this, none that I have ever been to.

How does taking unverified address information constitute security?

If I live too close to Manor Top will I not get in?

Is this some sort of marketing scheme or just plain stupidity?

Since the other post seems to have been hijacked about door policy. I thought i would chip in with this again.

Sheffield, as far as i can see is in need of a decent underground dance club (Arches?)
Offering local promoters and d.j.s a space to push the local scene, from all aspects of dance music.

I did think the Limit would be offering this, but it isnt.

Why would you think that when the original limit was famous nationwide for it's live music scene, and it's punk and alternative music policy.

As I've said on the other thread, calling this place the Limit is totally misleading and people who used to go in the old limit, are making efforts to visit this place from all corners of the UK because they are expecting a revival of the nights they used to see in the 1980s. They are going to be sadly dissapointed when they get here to find that the only music played is called "Funky House".
Descibed by others to be some sort of bland modern crap they play in other clubs in the city.

I thought it was going to be an indie club when people first started talking about it.

for all the folks who should know better..

that have been disappointed in the "new" limit..

problem sorted...

just come to the casbah...

easy!

I dont mind a bit of funky house, but from the sound of the comments in the thread, looks like ill be staying well clear of the Limit :(

I remember seeing the Meteors at the Limit. Great gig until the fighting broke out. Even that wasn't too bad until the bass player dived into the mosh, swinging his bass around his head!

Ah, happy days....

Thursday nights is 'classic Limit night' - not been but there you go.

thurs nite not my type nite.....

is this another nite where they are unable to play music until after 12?

heard were rubbish las nite

anymore views on this place or have we come to the conclusion that the club is disliked by the majority?

It seems to be more disliked than any other club in Sheffield. On the basis of the postings here I would take the hint and either totally rethink your market positioning very very carefully indeed, or accept bankruptcy is on the way.... its the worst start of any club I have seen in this town in 25 years......

i put down i like the club on this voting thin when actually i cant stand it...(must be still recoverin from boxin day)

I DISLIKE this venue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is the worst place i hav bin 2.

Boxing day was literally boxing night at that place. tooooo much trouble in there. we didnt stick around 4 long. wanted to go for a night out without any trouble for a change. LIMIT IS A TROUBLESOME PLACE!!!!

WASTE OF TIME

The decor is poor but from what I've seen of the PA system it looks pretty good.

it was a product of its time

the peoples changed
the musics changed
society in generals changed

places like the limit/rebels/the wap etc are legendary and remembered (rightly so) but nothing will ever take their place or even become them

Hmm, won't be going there then. The original limit sounds great though - if someone managed to pull that off it might tempt even me out of the house!

i cant believe this club is still opening as it is absolutely rubbish:confused:

Few requirements

IT MUST be a ****hole with sticky carpets
IT MUST serve beer in plastic cups
IT MUST have nights so dodgy that your really not safe in there
IT MUST have a fantastic chippy next door
IT MUST have plenty of drug users in the bogs
IT MUST be underground
IT MUST be acceptable to sit/lay on the floor

Put that lot together and you have what was the greatest nightclub Sheffield has ever seen. I'd include Occasions but that was a touch too pretentious and full of ******s.

No offence but this place is a **** hole and thats putting it politly. What happened to it being like the old limit was not this dark danky seedy place that it is now.

Im sorry to say but i wont be going here again, take about exspectations. This club should not even be called limit its a ****ing dump.

I dont mind speed garage and music of that type but i do prefer it in a club that doesnt look seedy.

Sorry doesnt get my vote at all.

I liked the music but dint think much of the club though, seems a bit gruby. Wont be going again though.

cant believe how many votes saying people they dislike this venue. personally it is appaling. its a shame though as sheffield does lack quality venues, but i think this is one of the worst in sheffield

me mates tried to drage me there 4 new yrs....we were glad we dint go.

heard it was another nite full of fightin

I cant believe how sort sighted this project is!!! This is so obviously the result of BAD market research and BAD planning....plus REDICULOUS hype that led nowhere....some people have more money than sense as this is just a moneypit and cant hope to break even, let alone turn a profit.

Being that you don't know how much they pay for the place, how much they spent doing it up, how much they pay the staff and how much they pay for stock how would you know whether it's going to break even or not? :rolleyes:

Fair enough if you don't like it but come on you haven't the slightest what their cash flow is like.

Hi
I was born and bred in Sheffield and was a regular at the Limit and Rebels. I moved away some years ago and came back to live here a year ago.

Can anyone tell me which places are good for the old stuff these days (goth, rock etc) ? Sheff has changed so much I wouldn't know where to start looking !!

Any help very much appreciated.

Cheers

But a very high % of people who have been do not like it!! Whatever your budget is, that is BAD NEWS for the future. I would be extremely worried if I was the owner and reading what people thought about my club as it will have a knock on effect and reduce its patronage quite disturbingly......whatever your budget, you want to be popular right? you want to be the best club in town, right? You want people to say they love it and come back for more, right?

How do you know it's a high % of people who have been don't like it? All we know is it's a high % of people who've been on this thread and replied plus a few others you personally may know. I'm not sticking up for the place I just find it funny that you comment on it's money situation when you can't have the faintest.

I think the Forum well represents SHeffield as a whole. If 70% say they dont like it, I am quite happy to suppose that is a good representation of the general feeling of the City as whole.

I would comment on ANY club that has the same negative feedback on such an enormous scale. I dont know the first thing about the finance for the club, my commnets are only in a GENERIC sense.....if I were the owner, I would be WORRIED. That is all I said, and that is all that you can pre-suppose about my comments. The fact that is is almost universally voted in the negative on this poll suggests to any business minded individual that something is very very wrong with the Club and its policies.

Well they've recently changed their music policy to lean more towards speed garage and although I'm not a fan of it myself it's probably been a good idea with Niche being closed for the next couple of months at least. I think you'll find it's not doing as bad as you think.

Ive havent been to Limit yet - Im always up for trying new clubs but apparantely someone stabbed there on Boxing day which is the only thing that puts me off.

Anyone heard any news on the new Limit club and where it is to be. I think it will have to try hard to be as base and full of charisma as the old one...Many a good gig seen in there, from Paul Young to the Meteors......
Anyone any reminiscance of Limit club stories?:hihi:

i think there was love

I was in the the other friday, and I can honestly say it makes niche look like Gatecrasher! There was 3 fights in under an hour, and when exiting limit, me and my friends was greeted by 2 police officers standing on the door instead of bouncers!

I went in there about a month ago after the Fez club, we wanted to stay out and the girls got free entry!

When we got there it was dead, and what crowd was there was certainly mixed. There were plenty of middle-aged men, but also the younger people too.

Music was good, they were playing funky house. Toilets were absolutly disgusting, out of about 10 toilets, 1 was in working order as the rest were flooded!

A couple of bouncers looked as if they werent a day over 15!

I wouldn't go back though as i think it was a waste of money and time.

And as i've heard they are making it into the "new niche" now so the nights will change.

-x-

RIGHT! To be honest Im real upset by these comments but im bound to be as I am one of the owners daughters and my dad had the original club in the eighties!

He was not trying to recreate the old limit as i hav put on this site an unbelievable amount of times nor was he goin to try n create a nice classy venue!

At the end of the day I dnt normally go i go to Gatecrasher but the fact that it is picking up, it took nearly 20 grand on boxing day and the same clientele keep sayin wot a gd nite they had and coming back, this means that some ppl do actually like it!!!!!!!!

The staff are not unfriendly and the fact that 'real flaver' the promoter of ONE night (due to the fact that he took all the door takings, never paid anyone including ALL the DJS and then disappeared) is even commenting on 'asking for details' is a F***NG JOKE! HE was the one who demanded them and also we never even saw the list, he still has it now otherwise why did everyone get txts from him sayin the venue had changed!!

So what the club isn't to ur taste, so what its a **** hole! For the clientele that go there its great and they love it! To be quite honest I find it really sad how long ppl keep going on bout how **** it is! We get it! Some ppl HATE Gatecrasher n refuse to go!" Is it a dive?NO! Is it horrid inside!NO! Its just not for them!

N real flaver, even as an 18 yr old school kid, i real do find it hilarious reading your comments! If i were you I would keep them to yourself!

I dnt think im being rude or out of order but he infuriates me and i think some of u need to think bout does it really matter if its ****??????????????

As this is a forum about Sheffield - People will talk about anything, thats what its here for!

Mod note: That's as may be, but my admin radar perked up on this thread earlier, and something isn't quite right.

Some of these 'different' members that are having a go at the Limit seem to have IP's that suspiciously resolve to the same bunch of people outside Sheffield and have fallen out with the Limit for whatever reason.

Hmm. I think I may have to take a bit of action on this. I don't think the Limit is being fairly represented here.

Well i'm from Sheffield, i live in Sheffield, and have NO problems with the Limit, its just not my cup of tea. Each to their own!

We actuallly fell out with a certain group of ppl but for reasons i put in my last post, they have no reason to fall out with us!!!! It was due to their own faults n unprofessionalism!!!!!!

I worked at Sutra Boxing day night and it was packed there 2! We had to kick the people out at 3am!

The few places that were open in town on boxing day will have been busy, cos there was only 2/3 clubs open (including crasher and limit!!)

All the people who were in sutra said they were going over to limit.

Hi i was a regular niche goer, heard limit is being a 'replacement' till it (hopefully) reopens!just wondering if limit plays speed garage every night or just weekends or what? Also does any of niche residents play there? duggan!?? banger ferguson or anyone?

We play speed garage mondays and fridays chick n jus to tell u that Niche is not going to re open and the owner has come in on the limit holly x ps not too sure but im 100% Ferguson plays for us most of the time!!!!!

I saw a flyer with Duggan on it other day but can't remember what date it is - I'm not a fan of speed garage but I know whoever was playing at Niche is now at the Limit.

Toilets shouldn't be flooding now either you'll be pleased to know - that's as long as people refrain from stuffing bog rolls down 'em anyway :rolleyes:

Fnky do i no u? or hav a met you???

Yeah I've been working down at the club a fair bit - joinery, plumbing etc. and was talking to you on opening night from what I remember - I was rather trollied tho. Kev's daughter aren't ya? :)

ye, i vaguely remember but i was pretty wasted too!!!!!

limit is wicked...good music with added bass line they say its the new niche but i think niche was better

it will never be the new niche. niche was legendary! but ok for now i suppose. when did you go? fri nights are ok

really curious about this place now! when is the best night to go, when is it busiest? if its even a kind of niche replacement then that cant be too bad at all! also wo time is it open til?

It's open til 6 Fri and Sat. Most if not all the DJ's who played at Niche seem to be playing there at some point.

Wouldn't know about best night as I'm not a fan of speed garage/bassline house

Went to the limit last night n i thought it was absolutly wikid! I really enjoyed it, it wasnt very busy but still a good night. The music was spot on... n actually iv just thought, thats all i can remember :o lol

I want to go here, is the place quite big. Whats its capacity.
Is there any pics or something.

The capacity is 700-800!! It shud b better soon also seeming as we are re-doing the toilets (YAY!) Seemings as Niche is being sold on I think the limit wil serve it purpose as its replacement n will get better with time!! x x x

Should be 1000 capacity by times toilets are done although I'm sure you know that already :)

gdgd!When r they gonna b done???????

Dunno - I'm down there next week I think but don't know what for yet :)

The place is constantly being monitored by police, there's always a team of them directly outside the doors, cars with blackened windows now cruise up and down Eyre Street, the clientele it attracts, surely, Sheffield Council have made a mistake by allowing this club to open?

Niche was raided for a reason and I find it bizarre the council allowing this new club to open. Clubs in the surrounding area include Plug, Gatecrasher and Fuel, these do not give off the same vibe as that of Limit. It's like something out of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas on Eyre Street now. Not good. Anyone have any opinions about this?

not been there so no idea what the clientele are like!!

I think its been like that ever since someone got stabbed boxing day night. The thing is, because Niche has closed for a few months the regulars from there now go to the Limit.

Actually we have asked for the police to be there thankyou and since boxing day there has been no trouble! Oh n niche is not re opening so the limit will always be 'giving off bad vibes!' The atmosphere as i hav said millions of times is good now and we are doing really well!Gatecrasher are monitored unwillingly and the police WE have with us on the door are great and are keeping ppl safe and keeping our clients that dont want to cause trouble happy! The club is now only full of speed garage lovers who just wanna dance n hav a laff!!!

ooh tat shut a few people up:clap:

sorry meant that has shut a few people up

Im sick off people saying niche attracted the wrong clientelle! we went there because the music was class! same reason we have started to go to the limit. atleast the limit are taking more precautions! if you dont like speed garage/bassline house what ever you want to call it then dont pass comment because its obviously not for you so just leave us to enjoy instead of trying to stop us from having our fun! i dont bang on about kingdom or wherever! each to their own

Here Here!!

Actually we are paying 700 pounds a night to have the police there thankyou and since boxing day there has been no trouble!

If limit is that good then how come a couple of weeks ago did a bloke get slashed in there on a friday and this is in january not december. The Limit has become the new niche and it wont be long before its being raided. Yes you may have the police on the door through out the night but that doesnt meen crap wont happen in there.

There are more drugs in gatecrasher than there are in our club and i must ask have u been recently???? If u dnt like it fair enough but ppl need to stop going on n find somethin better to do with their time than be petty! Unfortunatley speed garage attracts a more violent sort of clientele (sometimes) but it just comes with it, like other types of music bring in pompus snobs who jus go out to show off, ppl dnt like it, do we care, answer no!!!!!!! And actually we won't b raided as i have said we hav a tighter door policy than niche did and as we already have police in the building (think about it) there will have no need to raid us! So so sorry to disapoint u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And also I don't recollect sayin it was 'that good'! Im onlt defending the place which in my position I have to!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some ppl on this webiste only seem to be moaning or slagging off places n maybe we should start looking at some of the places they regularly go!The Adelphi maybe, real classy joint n definitely pill head free!!

even tho there might be a tighter door policy i still think drugs will be involved, like most dance clubs, so a raid is always possible, is it not?

You cant really say that there is more drugs in gatecrasher than there are in limit with or without a police presence, cause then that would be false. Every club in sheffield attracts its own clients in there own way and the limit is attracting a violent crowd. But speed garage doesnt neccessarly mean that the people who listen to it are like that, cause i for one am not and i do listen to it.

One reason people are dissing the club as much as what they are is due to the fact that it was opened with the hype that it would be like the old limit and it isnt. Also in retrospect the limit is now the NICHE and you cant denie that. I have been to the limit on a couple of occasions but i can personaly say that i wouldnt be going again. I dont feel comfortable in there and i know there are many that also feel the same as what i do.

Also is it not true that due to the way the club is going on its path down the underground scene with the speed garage that 70% of your staff have quit. Now this to me doesnt really give a good appeal on the club to lose that many staff in such a short space of time.

I stick by what I say it is not as dangeruos as u r making it sound, n the amount of coke flying about reps is a lot compared to the limit believe it or not! The amount of bar staff we have lost have been in general to do with the hours 10-6! All the staff that work for us are happy n the fact u r now bringing staff into this is hilarious, we are talking about and ppl are moaning about the club! When my dad openened the club we severly stressed it was not going to be ANYTHING like the old Limit and ppl understood that, he owned the original one and we know that cant be recreated!!!! To be quite honest im sick of ppl complaining! We are really busy,we have great staff and ppl just enjoy themselves! U dnt want that for ppl fair enough, but pls the comments about how **** it is are getting boring and are making ppl look pathetic! U dnt like it, DNT GO!SIMPLE, jus leave us to enjoy the place!!!!!!!

Im sick off people saying niche attracted the wrong clientelle! we went there because the music was class! same reason we have started to go to the limit. atleast the limit are taking more precautions! if you dont like speed garage/bassline house what ever you want to call it then dont pass comment because its obviously not for you so just leave us to enjoy instead of trying to stop us from having our fun! i dont bang on about kingdom or wherever! each to their own


Well Said

Spot On Right

My Brother went to limit on friday, and they i.d'd Him, Then the police man who was on the door radio's through to whoevers on the other end of the walkitalkie, and do's a warrent check on his name, hahaha, thats how strict theyve become in limit. plus try doing drugs in their and watch what happens to you....

God, dont people get bored of reading these arguments? Nobodys ever gunna agree on it so i think ppl should all just agree 2 disagree! I know everyones entitled 2 their own opinion, but its always just the same old stuff ppl keep churning out! At the end of the day, theres gonna be drugs everywhere unless u buy a sniffer dog to give everyone once over before they go in places. It aint just speed garage that gets drugs, iv got a mate whos a goth (am using this for an example as its the opposite end of the spectrum) and goes 2 Corp every weekend and according 2 her, they have their fair share of drugs. Its the same with violence, it only takes a few nobs 2 start a fight. Its not only speed garage that has these either, a couple of weeks back my mates boyfriend got pushed down the stairs in Corp 4 accidently knockin in2 someone while he was helpin a someone who couldnt walk properly down the stairs!
Personally, I love the Limit, I go 4 the amaaazin music, havin a laugh with my mates and nothing else. I was a bit warey of goin at first cos of my wheelchair, but I soon found out I was bein stupid! People give places a bad rep because either A) theyve never been and dont plan to because they believe all the hype or B) they believed the hype, went and looked in all the wrong places, saw somethin they didnt like and vowed not 2 give it a 2nd chance! Im sure if ppl saw some of the **** that goes off in the places they do like that havent got a stigma attached 2 em, they wouldnt be bothered! Its all in the mind lol.
Right, il stop rantin now! :D

even tho there might be a tighter door policy i still think drugs will be involved, like most dance clubs, so a raid is always possible, is it not?


recreational drugs are everywhere now, so if you look at it like that, a raid is possible in every club and pub in the country, shall we all just stay at home with our feet up watching tv then

i agree!

we not all students !!!

Why is Limit so expensive for entry anyways???
same as niche?? that were a few bob 2 get in??

anybody actually know why though????

Yeh nothin against students as im soon to be one myself, but it is a bit crap if u ant got an NUS card!

Im sorry guys but i dnt think £15 is expensive at all considering that u dnt have to pay for ANY drinks inside! x x x

Surely that's just a recipe for binge drinking?

What drinks though???

everything we have behing the bar except champagne!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure these sort of nights are illegal. The tivoli in Rotherham used to do them about 12 years ago and a bar on Ecclesall road did for a while nut they got stopped by the police. Have you checked the new licensing rules

i agree!

It's the same at any club that has well established DJ's playing. The better known the DJ the more money they will command for a set.

fancy bumping into u mat!! haha well said lad

drugs are everywhere FACT!! even in working mens clubs!!
u will never stop it FACT!!

i, like mat, enjoyed many years of the best nights in niche some years ago, ive yet to try out limit, but from some of the dj's that are scheduled there says only one thing to me and that is, the music on some of the nights will be wicked!! and people like me who go out purely for the love of the music will love it im sure, cos at the end of the day mats right its all about the music!!! and thats wot people should be going for wether your tipple is drugs or alcohol or neither or both its all about the enjoyment of the music, and for the ones that do spoil it if the doormen are on form then they will kick em out so everyone else can carry on enjoying it.

How do you define "the underground"

The underground was a basement bar near the Wap, styled like a London Underground station and carriage. It was an incredible thing to see and very well done. It must have closed mid 1980s

I think I remember it. The arches was called the underground for a while I think.
Anyway what do people mean when they say underground night.

Ive noticed a few DJ's use this site??

might be wrong but if they read this could you please please please P.M me im after a speed garage tune, and i cant find it anywhere, need help!!!
