Big boy bullying tactics. Leave The Brighouse Ritz alone. Great place for Northern Soul and Motown nights.

Bloody stupid greed, I'm sorry I've ever patronised The Ritz when I lived and worked in London

The Ritz Ballroom at Brighouse is an institution, a stalwart of northern soul music events. Why suddenly has it become a problem.....it's not new!

the ritz (london that is) needs to think this through ... have they issued this same threat to j.d wetherspoons lincoln venue of the same name ? no , have they issued the same notice to any other sites ? not that i am aware of ... so why after 80 years in business they decide it is in any interest to order a small brighouse music club to change their name , the ritz (the real one in brighouse this time) in no way deprives them of business or by any stretch of the imagination causes them any financial hardship ... one thing they may consider is the loss of confidence people will have when an old long established successful british institution which lets face it the ritz is issues threats like this to people who run a small pottering along music club plus they're peeing off yorkies ... they should know better

I have been going to the Ritz for the past 10 years to the Motown and Soul nights, it is an important part of the community and the last dance hall of its kind in the area.

This is thespecially Ritz Ballroom. It is impossible to confuse it with Ritz Hotel. Unless you are totally dim.

I signed in the hope that it acts as a precedent to big business, a reminder that smaller operations are just as important, and that you cannot overturn so many years on a whim.

The Ritz Hotel need to get a grip... time was there was a Ritz in nearly every town. Please reconsider this pointless and disproportionate action.

Absolutely ridiculous action by The Ritz, London. What possible threat could the Ritz Brighouse be to this icon. Unfair and totally unnecessary commercial bullying. They should allow Ritz-Brighouse as a title and domain name which could not be confused in any way with their totally dissimilar London based business.

Absolutely ridiculous. Had some brilliant times there over the years. Why did it take them so many years? Grow up Ritz, London!
