I'm not that fussed... it's a shame about people losing their jobs and all but the place had been putting on fewer and fewer gigs I was interested in over recent years (although admittedly some corkers have already been mentioned in this threat), and the stupid ticket prices put me off gigs I might have otherwise been interested in.
I echo the points put forward by Scott and Stuart. I have the utmost sympathy for those who have lost their jobs at this time of year but from where I stand the £200,000 idea looks to be incredibly misguided. Honestly, what on Earth is going to happen once the initial 200k has been bumped in? It sounds like the business needs a complete revamp from top to bottom in order for it to become sustainable and that's something that will take a great deal of time, effort and money. There's absolutely no point whatsoever in saving the place if it's going to continue to haemorrhage money.
