If anyone up there is putting the boot in, then put one in for me.

Not that I wish to be rude mate but the place had no license for alcohol, operated under the pretence of being a club for younger people, was rife with drugs, had regular violent incidents and above all plays crap music (yes, crap i.e no talent whatsoever, if I compared hard house to television it would be a gay version of the teletubbies but I suppose that's beside the point).

What I'm trying to say is that Monroes was a "Chav" haven which encouraged idiots to run riot and take the ****, generally bringing the area down.

So as far as I'm concerned all the scum that went there can go back to drinking on street corners..

Well said, Wez....I don't think anyone had any illusions about what this establishment was. There is an argument that at least it kept the Riff-Raff (or should I say Chavs) in one place; now they'll be back on the street corners - hopefully, not yours or mine. However, allowing a place like that to continue - which, following the due process of the law would have happened - would simply have legitimised the criminal activity. Sometimes there is an argument for taking the law into your own hands.

I trust the Lancashire Constabulary will not be committing too many of it's scarce resources in investigating this incident.

Glad the place is gone.....it was a dive. And if the guy who owned it was not insured then it is sad, but ces't la vie....I'm sure he is not on the breadline anyway.

they had to sell drugs at monroes to relieve the pain caused by the music

i remember when the police used to shut all roads into great harwood down to stop ravers getting there in the late 80s

we used to get scousers asking where monroes was and we would say were just on our way there m8 follow us and lead them on a wild goose chase and leave them lost over the tops of blackburn or haslingden somwhere lol

The thing that sickens me about this whole farrago is that the majority of people knew all about what was going on there, including the Police, but it seems to have escaped the attention of the Magistrature. Not for the first time, one wonders whether they inhabit the same planet as the rest of us!

Re: Monroes Rave Club
 

hell they were that blatent about selling drugs the police could have turned up in uniform and bought them then arrested them
