coopster1974 Â Â 11 #17 Posted June 18, 2007 Yup its gatecrasher - the wife has just been sent home from Telephone House.

boutiquechoc   10 #18 Posted June 18, 2007 Is anyone in town? I can see all of town from my house and there is loads of yellow smoke coming from near the Moor, can anyone confirm what this is?  Unfortunatly it looked as if it wasn't the Gatecrasher  Looked like the building across the road. It smells like plastic on fire: thought that club was empty in the day.......lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Tyranna   10 #22 Posted June 18, 2007 Yup its gatecrasher - the wife has just been sent home from Telephone House. Thick black smoke yet the roads have not been closed as her bus has just turned up at the normal stop on Arundel Gate near the roundabout!   Yup, Just heard it 2 minutes ago on BBC Radio News; and I'm sitting in the BBC webcafe just around the corner...  Heard the fire engines a while ago; must have a glimpse when the BBC place shuts at 6.  Just hope no-one's come to harm.  NOW, the Multi-Million Pound question is:  Will Gatecrasher benefit from the kind people of Sheffield, in finding at least a temporary home until the place is rebuilt?  A club with those kind of resources could temporarily renovate the Roxy; Then there's the former NICHE a few hundred yards away, but that is a lot smaller...  A more practical solution might be to rent one of the student venues such as the HUBS or SUSU over the Summer at least, as this is generally a dead period for student venues.  Best of luck to Gatecrasher Management and staff in getting over this catastrophe.
