That is typical isn't it.

I take it the club was insured? I know that doesn't make up for what has been done, but just thinking it'll help build a new one, that can maybe be better someway.

I don't know how people that do stuff like that can sleep at night :|

Certain sectors probably didnt want such an 'immoral' club re opening again :ba: .....arson and vandalism being a favoured tactic employed in such situations.
Could be anybody that had a grudge, some sort of turf thing? I dunno. It sucks anyway.
.....eitherway, something decidedly dodgy happening there innit.

Local residents maybe?, rivals who's taken the business whilst it was shut? A mere accident or kids? Who knows.

Either way, if you are insured, just do it bigger and better ;) and rub thier faces in it . I can imagine its a nightmare though :| :eek: . Sheesh.

ffs

this is awfull news, monroes will be very missed, i spent many many nights there in the early 90's, this was a mega club as anyone who went will know.
i actually drove down to monroes a few weeks ago after i had been shopping in blackburn just for a look for memories sake and thought ive got to go just once more to this place, ABSOLUTELY FUCKING GUTTED TO FUCK

tar for those messages...just found out that somebody had drove a car through the main double door [ rammed it] and then torched the car from the inside... you could just about see it in th emiddle of the dance floor from where we were stood at the edge of teh car park....we werent allowed to go nearer.

...what next....

..sori guys re-buildin is not an option due to financial reasons as the club was not open..and the police frooze ian's assets etc etc... think ya know what im tring to say....

end of an era.....it will be missed im sure.........
