File picA Dunedin nightclub is facing a three day closure because of repeated breaches of its alcohol licence including one where police say a man was so drunk he wet himself. He has asked for a 72 hours suspension of the nightclub's on-licence and a 28 day suspension of Mr Deveruex's and Ms Cooper's certificates. One overcrowding breach relates to the night of the Pink concert at Forsyth Barr Stadium in September and another to last year's tradies day, traditionally the last work day of the year for tradesmen. The building was over capacity because the door-man had left the entrance to assist other security during a nearby fight meaning more people were able to enter the nightclub, Ms Cooper said. On both occasions when notified there were too many people inside, the duty manager instigated a one-way door policy to reduce the number, Mr Deveruex said.
