Fearful of any repeat situations, Wayne and his partners had to enlist the help of prominent members from their local firm, West Ham's ICF to handle the security detail at their future gatherings. With some of the firm having gained experience as doorman and everbody seeing this as an amicable business arrangement, all parties reluctantly agree to this deal.

February 17th - London: Echo's Nightclub

Split on equal measures, on fridays Tony had the venue to organise his "Adrenalyn" club and on Saturdays, Andy took over the mantle to host his "Pasha" parties.

The mancunians where restless as there was a nightclub that opened that competed with all-comers for the affections of it's locals. Situated on the Oldham Road, [ a known volatile road, north-east of the city centre ] a once Irish-pub-nightclub was adopted as the ideal venue for the Thunderdome.

Local DJ Steve Williams was selected to be the resident DJ who through sheer persistance, flawless mixing and his record selection will take clubbers on missions that will be the catalyst for many an up-and-coming DJ in years to come.

The more than rowdy atmosphere and the popularity of the Thunderdome will reach it's peak that summer when outside influences would start to surface inside the club which led to a member of doorstaff been shot and wounded - the local authorities reacted by shutting the club down.
