Glass attack at The Court
August 9
First, my apologies for sparatic updates (life has been very busy recently), but I’ve been pulled back to the blog to talk about what happened at The Court last night.
The venue hasn’t been receiving any of my money in a while now, so I don’t have a first hand account to go on - if anyone else was there please shoot me an email. Apparently a girl was stabbed with a broken bottle at around midnight, and the scene was serious enough to pull in an army of police officers, firemen and security guards. Subsequently half of the venue was closed down to the public.

An SMS from a friend:
It was as Bree called it; a crime scene. I spoke to her she seemed really worried about the bad publicity and the loss of money!
… yeah who cares if the girl survives anyway. Luckily for Bree though, the attack at The Court has been completely overshadowed in today’s news by a different glass attack just down the road at the Elephant and Wheelbarrow, which happened the night before.
In fact, this other stabbing is getting so much of the attention the State government is considering a glass ban for problem venues. More good luck as The Court gets no mention in the news article. Is Bree’s relationship with the police working to her advantage or has word simply not filtered through to the media yet?
Either way, it’s another reminder that all pub venues experience violence issues and The Court is no exception. Lets end this post with a Facebook status update that appeared on my feed this morning. Stay safe on the weekends everyone.

Seeing as this isnt the first indcident, or close call that I have witnessed, perhaps they should have their extended trading until 2am as a pub revoked? Clearly they dont have a very good handle of things.
Sporadic, I think you mean.
I wonder how often the gays have fights like this. Could you start a tally?
P dot S, who will run this when you leave?
On another note entry at Connies went up to $15 before 2am. (Or does that just prove how long it’s been since I last paid to visit that place…)
