Ministry of Sound club to close?

Press news this week is that the Ministry of Sound is doing a petition to save the club as they feel under threat of closure if a residential development is granted in the nearby area to their present home of 20 years. Presumably they are worried that new residents won't like the noise and (following a shooting some time ago) potential trouble the club attracts. Would it be a shame to see the MOS go? It is a globally well known brand and you cannot argue with their success.... But does every club have its time? And does this mean the brand will end even if the physical club closes? I doubt it, no doubt they would just buy another venue and open NEW MOS, giving their PR gurus another excuse to send out mass mailings and get newspaper stories. Happy days...
