This is the Ritz Ballroom, it is not a 'HOTEL.' There is no confusion as the two places are separated by hundreds of miles. Ritz hotel get a grip of yourself instead of causing harm to this venue why not sponsor them as they have made a proud name for themselves and are well known nation wide.

Typical southern wide boy tactic. No, we Northerners will not be bullied, if you don't like it, change your hotels name.

So so cross. Done a little research on it. A place in Kettering had the same problem with this certain hotel. Not sure on the outcome but I am blinking livid. Who do they think they are?

My clothing company is going through a similar battle against Bentley Motors. Fight the bastards! If you're interested, contact me because we should stick together to fight the big boys. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bentley+clothing+&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=D2ytWPypHaTA8geMiKrgCg#q=bentley+clothing+trademark There are loads of Ritz's (nightclubs, ballrooms and cinemas) across the UK - can you argue the name's become generic? Have you considerded contacting other Ritz's (they'll be under threat just as much as you)? Keep up the fight.

No need to have their name changed as it has always been called The Ritz and is an impirtant building in Brighouses'history.

I am opposed to what amounts to a poorly judged, unnecessary action that threatens an established, valued business for no valid reason.
