The Excel Centre

[THEBUTCH]

Has anyone been to this venue before ?

I've heard some bad reports about the view, any opinions/advice please?

its just an empty warehouse really, no fixed seating, so it depends how they set up the chairs and stuff i guess

I was at the last Hatton fight and the view was abysmal towards the back of the arena, I have virtually no memory of any of the action and I watched pretty much all the fights. Got a much better ticket for Friday though, and I very much doubt there will be 12,000 in there this time anyway.

Is it at the Excel Arena or centre, or are they the same thing. you'd be better knocking a zero off the 12,000 figure for a more accurate crowd estimate.

it's an awful venue. I've never been there for boxing but have been to various trade shows and don't like it.

It's just a warehouse in a very quiet part of the Docklands.

it's a nightmare to get to and an awful venue, stupid choice IMO.

The problem is that is doesn't use banked seating. I was at the Hatton fight and had shelled out a few quid so the view was great, towards the back I imagine it would be dreadful.

I've been to a few shows there the place is a fuckin nightmare to get to, un organised and the parking facilities are a joke, apart from that it's great.

So all the seats are on the ground even at the back of the arena?

[THEBUTCH]

Cheers Gents!

I'd heard it was poor, don't think I'll bother now.
