Rich bullyboys throwing their money around and their legal team. There are litterally hundreds of bingo halls, clubs and venues using this name, are they going to ask ritz cracker makers to change their name? Simply stupid.

Brighouse Ritz is a small music and dance venue in Brighouse, West Yorkshire. Despite it having had "Ritz" in it's name for 80 years, it's now been threatened with legal action by the Ritz Hotel in London. If it doesn't change it's name & hand over rights to it's website. It is not a hotel, nor is it a threat to the hotel's business, over 200 miles away. Even it's website: www.liveattheritz.com is clearly not easily confused with the hotel's website. They cannot afford to change the name plus do everything that goes with it doing so. This is clearly a case of bullying and should not be allowed to happen. Please sign the petition and then ensure you share it on your Facebook and Twitter pages to show the hotel how ridiculous their actions are.

People come all over to the Ritz Ballroom. It has been called that for years, it is ridiculous that someone wants it changed!
