I'm one of the few (perhaps only?) Palace fans that live in Farringdon. I'm just guessing but I suspect the motivation to close the venue is connected to the fact that Farringon is about to undergo massive redevelopment. First of all they are developing Smithfield market and moving The Museum of London there; then Crossrail is opening and Farringdon will become one of London's busiest rail interchanges (Crossrail, new Thameslink, Hammersmith and City, Circle). They predict a comparable number will pass through Farringdon as Victoria and Waterloo etc. So I suspect this is wider than concerns about the property that Fabric occupied and more about the tone of an area being redeveloped.

not many are opening. pubs are closing too. mostly to do with flat blocks rushing and propertis. ..and also people are changing. ...gyming it on a weekday rather than boozing. Internet dating now is a big deal too so people are enjoying getting to know one another sober... I'm 39 and I've had my best days and now I enjoy my gigs uptown

Depressing how many clubs and venues have been forced shut due to property developers building more luxury apartments or politicians' vanity projects. Trying to get a drink after midnight in central London and the city is a nightmare now. Ridiculous for supposedly one of the most vibrant cities in the world. You should be in bed with your cocoa by 10, you alcoholic bender.

I'm 39. Used to go to these clubs , all gone now That' must be 5000 people on a night out , I don't claim to be a real 'clubber' was always more interested in getting a blow j*b than a pill. My favourite nightclub of all time, always guaranteed a quality night in there, Friday was always better than a Saturday though, better DJ on a Friday.

One thing that's always perplexed me is the surprise that people are taking drugs in a electronic/dance music venue / nightclub. It is surely the height of naivety to believe that is not common place and normal for such venues. Its a bit like being surprised that a pub is selling single malt and high end spirits.

The city of London has completely lost its soul.

Even the quite valid claim that it's rife in there shouldn't distinguish it from any other club. The surprise is that you can actually get anything in there when the searches are that thorough. They also seem to have backtracked on the agreement to use sniffer dogs, which I recall was going to be rather expensive for them. It's one thing putting on that tough façade to keep the authorities happy but if it's costing you then that's where you're going to have to stop playing ball. Not that there's any indication of what exactly the measures mentioned in the meeting were or who wasn't compliant but the meeting would've been a farce if proposals weren't made to allow them to keep their license.

None of the evidence provided by the police has even been verified. They said there was clear evidence people were on drugs because they saw lots of people "sweating and staring into space". Sweating whilst dancing in a packed club, never heard of that before in any other club so we must shut fabric down It is not about drugs. That's an excuse so that the council can shut the club down and have nice luxury flats and a shiny new museum for the bores that move in there to enjoy.

Its remarkably easy to get drugs into a club, even when you search everyone. Practicality wise, with the numbers of people wanting to get in, the security can really only implement a few rudimentary searches. It takes confidence when its a sniffer dog, but if you've done your homework, they're easier than a search to dodge.
