spyro2000 Â Â 10 #13 Posted November 27, 2005 Originally posted by enviale According to the club's management, it was a "show of force" by the police. They reckon it was a response to the Bradford shooting - the police showing the "undesirable elements" that they've "got more firepower". They turned up in numbers, did a search but didn't find anything, hung around for a while, then went. Â Whether that's the whole story - I guess we'll have to wait and see. Â Makes sense. A lot of lads from Bradford come to Niche. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
HotPhil   10 #14 Posted November 27, 2005 Its not the only club these things have happened at. Its just the most publicised. I can't think of another club in Sheffield that has had anything like the same number of (violent) crimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Internetowl   10 #20 Posted November 28, 2005 The Bradford thing is a bit of a red herring - the gang responsible for the Bradford shooting are from South London. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The police closed it at one stage, and then opposed its license. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
malton_s5   10 #22 Posted November 28, 2005 If you haven't heard it was like a military operation, about 250-300 police outside waiting to search everyone as they left. In the end they gave up and let half of them go without searching everyone  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
