Best venue I've been to for view / atmosphere. If you can catch a big name on the way up, it's awesome.

Froch vs Magee and Haye vs Frag were brilliant nights there.

Bit of a drive from Nottingham, usually got back at 3am but well worth it.

I had a ticket for a ringside seat but met up with with a couple of people inside and sat (or stood) at the very back of the hall.

I enjoyed it, I was off duty so had been partaking in a couple of the East End tasty and flavoursome libations, which made for a good night.

Its no Colne Muni in Lancashire - still the best venue I have been to.
Colne Muni sounds interesting, are there any cards planned for there at the moment?
I believe Steve Wood has a show on there a week on Friday. Not been myself but I've been told by many knowledgable people that it's the best venue in the country atmos wise.

I also went to Froch-Magee at the York Hall and Froch-Westerman before that. My favourite venue by a long way, having been to boxing events at Manchester MEN, Millennium Cardiff, Excel London, Olympia London, Earls Court London, Alexandra Palace & Wembley Arena.

Witter-Lynes was another York Hall fight I saw where the winner went on to become a world champion.
