I haven't been there since the refurbishment and pretty curious, can anybody who has been fill me in on the changes? What's different/better/worse?

Toilets are better. That is all I noticed.

Biggest problem is the tiny bar area that gets packed and you can't move.

Can you see the fights from the bar now?

No. There is a partician.

I was there to watch the Lynes/Daws fight and I was upstairs. These 2 bouncers were trying to get people to sit down! After a few choice words they thught better of it. I mean how stupid is that? There was nothing saying you had to sit down and if they would have asked the wrong person there could have been a punch up. I mean how many boxers go to boxing matches? Anyway an alright venue in terms of looks and space but in terms of atmosphere and authenticity is really good. Got to sort the bar out though.

Yep, the bar is ridiculous, by the time you get served the next fight will have started.

Really smokey as well! I mean you have to boxers needing as much oxygen as possible and the atmosphere is full of smoke. I think it should be no smoking!
