Hundreds of pounds of damage has been caused after a York St John’s rugby team smashed up The Courtyard, Vision can reveal.
Nine rugby players went on a rampage around campus soon after the Roses weekend. Displaying behaviour reported as “unacceptable,” they set off fire extinguishers and vandalised toilets.
Many students at The Courtyard were said to be upset by the drunken destruction.
Their evening was ruined by the group who drowned the bar out with lairy rugby chants.
The bar was forced to close early in an attempt to control the situation and Security Services were involved in a lengthy chase around campus.
Taxi drivers refused to remove the group, complaining that they were too drunk.
It is so far unclear whether York St. John’s or the rugby players will pay for repairs and apologise. However, it has been implied that payment is the very least that will be expected.
The identity of the individuals has not yet been revealed.
One self-confessed Courtyard lover told Vision: “It’s disgraceful that they treated our bar like that. I’m appalled.”
This is the first major disturbance to The Courtyard since it opened in January. University of York students have caused minimal damage to the first YUSU owned bar. However, Vision has leant that it will undergo some redecoration over the Summer.
