This is ******** (no offence). They made mugs out of Illingsworth and co and Illingsworth and co made mugs out of the those who they charged £10. If we hadn't booked this place up I doubt Carlise would've committed to paying x amount for the venue. It would have been given over, yes given over FOR FREE, and the club would've made money from drinks just like everywhere else did. Perhaps they'd have been no DJ, but by all accounts he was clueless anyway so he probably only cost about £200. If you're going to organise something like this (and you're holding all the Aces as Illingsworth was) then it stands to reason you'd play hardball and get a decent deal, but maybe they did and the majority £10 everyone coughed went straight into the back pockets of the organisers.
