[Cody Fisher was a footballer who played
for Walsall, Bromsgrove and Stratford Town FC]
[Officers from West Midlands Police
were called to Crane nightclub just
before 11.45pm after reports of the stabbing.
Cody Fisher, a semi-professional footballer who
had played for Stratford Town, Stourbridge FC
and Bromsgrove Sporting,
was
pronounced dead around
30 minutes later.
Revellers at the nightclub criticised
security searches at the event and recalled
a 'moody' atmosphere inside the venue.
Sydnee Power, from Birmingham,
described 'groups of lads' who were
'looking to cause trouble'.
The 23-year-old said: 'As soon as me
and my friends walked in, we got a very weird vibe
and the atmosphere wasn't good.
'There were just groups of lads everywhere,
most of them looked moody.
'A lot of them were definitely looking to cause trouble,
they clearly weren't there to enjoy the music.'
An 18-year-old man from Wolverhampton,
who did not want to be named,
said the incident was a 'disaster waiting to happen'
because the
security searches were poor
and 'anyone could have brought anything in'.]
