Talk:The Haçienda

Reasons for closure
I've amended the section on the final closure. According to both Tony Wilson's book "24 Hour Party People" (which is admittedly fictional in places) and a Mixmag article (hosted at http://www.techno.de/mixmag/98.02/Gangchester/Gangchester.3.html), the incident that closed the club was a confrontation between local thugs and a group of St Helens students who had already had a fight inside the club. The student who was run over did not die. RobC (talk) 13:25, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Just a note, it wasn't just one incident that closed the club - ChappyTC 13:14, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

The Time of madchester was over at that time and by the way factory had to close its business due to the expensive record of the Happy mondays — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.247.241.65 (talk) 12:35, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Anything to add?
Great article, but could benefit from expanding on several fronts. Perhaps touch on Wilson`s obsession with numerology, hence "FAC 51" etc (whatever happened to the "Fac 51 The Hacienda" name brick, by the way?), as well as situationism, which goes a long way towards explaining some of the eccentric ways in which many Factory enterprises were run. Perhaps also mention some of the big name DJs: Jon Da Silva, Mike Pickering, Graeme Park, Justin Robertson etc.--TylerD 14:21, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)TylerD

Yep, good article but there needs to be something on New Order's time in NYC visiting the new post-disco clubs (Danceteria, Roxy, Paradise Garage) after recording Confusion with Arthur Baker and the influence it had on them creating the Hac. Maybe also importance to late 80s Man/Madchester scene Mondays dealing, Stone Roses playing gig etc, too Paytesy (talk) 18:57, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Requested move
Am suggesting a move to The Haçienda, since I think its a bit odd to refer to it as per the title, and also it definitely has a squiggly thing on the c. --Vjam 13:04, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd agree with the move, and the cedilla - apparently the cedilla and the "i" are meant to be a further representation of "51". sjorford (talk)  13:54, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * --Archstanton 07:43, 8 December 2005 (UTC) It had never occurred to me that the cedilla and i represented "51" like that - but it would certainly be a very Factory-esque touch. Do you have any references to this at all? I agree with the move to The Haçienda, the cedilla was always a prominent marketing tool, there were plenty of flyers just using the cedilla, which everyone at the time recognised as representing the Haçienda.
 * Here is the 51 reference - ther's also a full list of FAC numbers here, (already linked from the Factory Records article). sjorford (talk)  10:41, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Excellent, let's work that into the article.--Archstanton 09:08, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
