That's my suspicion too Leon. I've seen and stopped and even been in more than quite a few of these as no doubt we all have. Glasses get swept aside, tables get knocked over, drinks go flying, usually a bird screams and some bloke starts shouting "leave it Dave, it ain't worth it". The whole thing lasts less than twenty seconds, there's a bit of grappling, three or four punches thrown none of which have much behind them because everyone is stood too close together and lots of shouting. The music normally gets stopped if the DJ has seen it, the lights go up, the door security (or at least the 50% of them that have got any ersehole) run in to stop it and there's another 30 seconds or so of finger pointing and the like before any order is restored.
Anyone stood or sat within thirty yards of the indicent stands up to get a better view, people get mobile phones out and start snapping, and the management of the club if they've got any sense at all get in and diffuse it. Certainly in areas of London I've worked in the residents associations/local police are often waiting for a stick to beat you with and the last thing you need is bother to mess everything up. Equally, the last place I had we used to get quite a lot of footballers in (mostly Chelsea, Fulham and Palace though) so obviously they don't want to be bothered with fights and the like either.
My questions would be these. Firstly, where are all the mobile phone shots which would undoubtedly have been taken if there was a public incident? Where are all the wirtnesses who weren't close enough to have a bearing on the legal case, but were close enough to make a few quid. Thirdly, and this is the one I absolutely can't understand, where the feck was the management when it all went on? If that had been me, and my business depended upon "faces" coming through the door as this one no doubt does, you'd be whisking Gerrard or indeed any other famous person off through the back door before you could say Micky Robinson. Feck me use your heads the owners FFS, whisk Stevie off and out of it, have a word with this DJ joker and patch him up a bit. No need for the police and press to get involved at all, next morning a phonecall or two and the lad can take his two kids and his Mum off to tenerife on an all expenses for two weeks after signing a hastily drawn up "waiver" and Robert is indeed your fathers brother.
Apparently the owner is saying "we have no commnet to make". I'll bet he doesn't the daft c... His business will hit the deck if the faces stop going there as sure as eggs is eggs.
