Pub boss speaks out after '40-man brawl' and fire eater scandal on opening night
The owner of a bar in Leigh where a ‘40-man brawl' broke out outside has claimed it was nothing to do with them - saying they rejected the group from entering.
The police report came to light after the Sky Lounge applied to extend their 2am cut-off for the sale of alcohol to 4am for a weekend event on April 22 and April 23. Wigan Council’s licensing sub committee was due to decide on the matter on April 19, but the application was withdrawn at the last minute as a result of a last-minute change of designated premises supervisor from the building owner.
“The guy on March 19 was in our venue and he ended up having a fight in the toilets so we ejected him from the venue. As door staff took him to the door, he was abusive and tried to swing at us on the way out. “We kept hold of him until the police arrived. All I’ve noticed is that as soon as we rang the police they linked these incidents to the premises.“It was the grand opening of the Sky Lounge when we had the fire-breather performing and she did have her own liability licence for it. We barricaded off [where she was performing] and we stood on each side of the barrier.
