malton_s5 Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 There are always drugs in every single club. Nowhere is free from drugs. Niche will be missed. It was my favourite Sheffield club. The sheffield scene is going down the pan. Well Said Lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Never thought i'd have to say this but i'm afraid Niche is no more. We have been to court today to have the ASBO lifted but this was only allowed upon surrender of the licence and personal undertakings signed by myself and the other owners not to apply for any occasional licence or put anyone else up to apply for one. The opposition from the police to Niche was so fierce that we have had to bow to the inevitable and call it a day, a victory for the forces of law & order? I've read this a few times and there are some things that don't add up. The ABSO could have been lifted but only under certain conditions, those being (to quote the above post) "surrender of the licence and personal undertakings signed by myself and the other owners not to apply for any occasional licence or put anyone else up to apply for one". It seems that those conditions were not met and therefore the ASBO has not been lifted but this was not "inevitable" as there were conditions under which the ASBO could have been lifted. I'm only going on what has been posted here as I haven't found anything else about the conclusion of this case anywhere else yet but it seems that some of the undertakings which were required by the court before the ASBO could be lifted seemed to apply not to the Niche club itself but to certain individuals involved with the Niche club. Therefore, were the police really opposed to Niche regardless of who owned it and how it was managed or were they opposed to certain individuals who own and have managed Niche? Could Niche have re-opened if it was sold to new owners and given new management? If the current owners of Niche tried to open a new club would the police oppose any licence application? The answers to those questions could tell you whether Niche was really closed by "the forces of law & order" or was closed by the current owners of Niche.
