AN EASTLEIGH club has been forced to contact police after it received a threatening email following its decision to cancel a comedian's gig.

The Concorde Club announced it had cancelled Andrew Lawrence's event, which was due to be held in January, after he sent racist tweets following England's Euro 2020 final defeat.

The Echo has made the decision to remove racist remarks from the email, and the rest is printed in full below.

The email reads:

"You have made a foolish mistake.

"This is what will happen: Your staff will be assaulted randomly, most likely a hammer in the back of the head as they leave at night.

"Your managers will be grabbed & stabbed. Family members will be targeted as we gather their details.

"Dyes will be generally thrown around the venue, especially onto customer's belongings.

"We will begin starting fires on the premises over the next few months.

"All vehicles in your car park will be regularly damaged.

"Your health and safety record will be challenged constantly.

"We will run regular complaints about the quality of your food. For example, human faeces will be found in your food.

"You will be financially ruined.

"You had better be on your ******* toes boys and girls because a war is coming and you idiots have chosen the wrong side.

"The Concorde Club will make a magnificent charred ruin.

"Goodbye, Gordon"
