lol relax! he never said he wanted to try and shut down the club. but rather, he wants things to be fair there! I think everyone's clubbing experience would be alot better if it wasn't over capacity in there!

Originally posted by Transparence001 leave guv alone, its rammed cause theres alot of people who want to go! End of story dont be stupid and try to make a difference, dont screw it up for the rest of us, if you do something stupid ie get the guv closed down there will be plenty of pissed off people and there will be no place for your candyravin ass to dance except at a some shitty club in the city. SO leave it alone stop to think what you are doing its not cool or a good idea to do this you are dumb and wasting your time and not thinking clearly. IF you dont like it dont go! you all know full well its gonna be rammed and its been rammed since the begining of its existence, so stop complaining. There is no substitute for guv so when its gone, its gone and theres no need to have it gone just cause someone was crying one day saying "boo hoo its so packed in here i cant dance " everyone who has ever been to guv has said those exact words and you dont see people being running to the fire marshall. P.S Go dance in the lake if you want room!

but some people are much smarter than others. I mean if your limit is 2200 and 2500 are in their...it's a safety issue. Sure people want to go but you don't want to get hurt or injured. Mark my words, if nothing changes at the guv, a disaster will happen at some point. I don't think the thread starter is trying to shut the guv down, who wants to do that, a club that has given much to the clubbing experiences of many BUT if a complaint does help ease the overcrowding issue then I'd be all for it. If you break rules, you need to suffer the consequences, that's life people. My biggest fear is that people get hurt or killed, I mean if a disaster happens in September and say one person dies....how the fuck are you going to feel...you could have done something to prevent it but now it is etched in your conscience for life. People need to stop thinking about ME, ME, ME, ME (which a majority of the posts are....go cry to your mother...get out....).....think about others for once..you bunch of ungreatful greedy bastards.

how is it worse? they dont put their hands down your pants there...

i dont mind emptying out my pockets/walking thru a metal detector...

i do however get irritated when some gimp decides to put their hands down my pants and feel around my balls/asscrack!!!

so true

i remember back in 2002, I injured my arch in my left foot so badly that I could not lift my fucking foot without immense pain. The bouncer says lift your foot, I said I can't, the arch is slightly torn and he got mad at me, he goes you trying to hide drugs, I said no...so i ended up taking my shoe off in. Some people these days.

wierd...what's this about boa's searches? i've never felt violated there, whereas at guv i have been molested on numerous occasions. *shudder*

it would be great if things changed there, but i doubt they ever will. which is why i don't go anymore unless its a special event.

I think what a lot of you are foregetting is how it USED to be in Guv!

Many TAs most likely rememeber the days of the braveheart track and the EXTENSIVE pyro that would go off in the main room in time with it.

Could you imagine what would happen if the sparks from that caught on fire these days??? Not to mention the naked firebreathing buskers they had strolling through Guv during all the Milleniuem festivities...

Bottom line is the club has a lot of space that goes unused for various reasons, like the upper lvls which are sparsely populated compared with the main, so if us poor folk were to be allowed access up there, I'm sure it would ease the crush in the other areas.

I agree with you here

Alot of you say, "if you don't like it, don't go."

I've only been to guvernment twice and i will never go again until they get their shit together

if you need me to do anything room2dance feel free to ask

^^^ i've heard of this pyro shit.....too bad i was too young

some of you younger peeps (lol @ me saying that hehe) might find this hard to believe but GUV circa 99/00 was a ROCKIN party. And im not talking about for special events or whatever, im talking about Saturday nights with Mark Oliver. That room had a great party vibe, people would actually going off to Marks music, not like what it seems like today. Girls used to go there and the crowd wasnt as sketchy either. NOW? ugggggh I dont even wanna talk about that place...the place is a total writeoff...

IMO

Even go back a little bit further than 99 and the party was off the hook... a solid vibe any Saturday you went.

I swear, if I hear this one more time, I'm going to go postal and start killing people.

Nobody's trying to shut the club down. The one and ONLY reason the club COULD get shut down for this is if they refuse to comply with the safety laws. Yes, we're talking LAWS here, that's why they call it LEGAL CAPACITY. You act like "over capacity" is just some semantic that doesn't really mean anything, but why do you think we HAVE these laws in the first place? They are to protect people!

Frankly, I couldn't give a fuck if they start refusing people at the door... that's what they *should* be doing... and I always get there early (when I go that is, which is less and less often these days) to avoid ridiculous lineups anyway so what's the big deal. The only people who should be whining about this are the sketchpads that walk in at 2-3 am.

Good luck room2dance... I'd be happy to help as well if you need anything. Keep us posted.

I have a cousin who used to work at the Guv... and he would always complain about how terrible the overcrowding and everything was... it gets so gross in there that sweat drips from the ceiling. You can't move or dance... the only thing you can really do is jump up and down... and this was like... last year. If it's even worse now... that really sucks.

And those searches... from the way you describe them, I think they'd be considered illegal. It would be very easy to go up against the guv and/or security company on violations of security of person, unlawful search/seizure, or something like that... if no law exists.

But like many others have pointed out... we don't want the Guv shut down, and we don't want to send them bankrupt with lawsuits. Does the Guv really require the extra 300-500 people in there in order to break even? If it's a money issue, then prices could be raised by a small amount... I'm sure they'd still get enough business.
