i must admit im getitng a crew up, having been there before I dont fancy being amongst the masses with only a couple of ya, safety in numbers and all that, especially if hatton loses, it could go off.

Yeah, last time I went to the MEN Arena, it was like fornicating dodge city, loads of leery pissed up geezers with skinheads and scars just aching for an excuse to push your face in. Kicking out time in Manchester city centre is no laughing matter.

Thanks for the tip off J, I probably won't go now. I was going to go primarily to admire the skills of Kostya. I want Hatton to win of course, but me and my father talking about how Kostya Tszyu is in a different league might not go down to well with the Hatton faithfull.
Do you think Hatton will be the final fight on the card? I would definately stay untill the end of the bill and usually the trouble has gone and there is just a hardcore group left.

Yeah anyone going who happens to favour the cutting edge "Tszyu look", should be advised to tuck their platted pigtail down the back of their t-shirt before entering the MEN

YOU CAN ALWAYS TRY SIT NEAR US STU!
You are best to hang around a little while as for the the city centre i stay in a hotel with a club in it mate, packed full of fanny only open toi members and residents
The MEN is a biut facial tatoo city though and that was just the birds.
Generally as a rule I try to speak to people with tattoos on their faces, bit of shocker if you are on hols in samoa but over here for sure.

Right, now I am scared.
I hope it is Glenn McCory doing commentary - I'll stand by him.

nature of the beast mate im afriad.
Still isnt anywhere near the roughest place ive been out on the piss
though.
that dubious honour goes to Corby, closely followed by Norhthamption (where i lived for 18 mths).
Place is like bagdad ona bad day come kicking out time.

Yes, you must know Kettering then, quite near I believe. We arrived there for a party at a mate's farmhouse once, and unfortunately arrived at kicking out time. There were people fighting in the streets all over the place, and people were literally pointing at us in the streets shouting.."who the fornicate are you!" I was scared shitless to say the least.

yeah i know kettering i lived on the outskirts on the main road between northamptoon and kettering, dunno whats its like these days but I remember an incident at the Spencer estate (its 13 years since i lift Northampton) where a police car was making an inquiry about a GBH charge at one of the houses and the local youths nicked the wheels of the jam jar as it was parked out side.
quality
believe nottingham has taken over as the official roughest city on Britain these days.
Shame i was born there.

Cardiff is my usual for city life, no bother there at all. My mate got into a fight there once but that is all the trouble I have seen there.
Cardiff is some distance away from me, but I feel safer there than I do for my nearest town which only habitats 2,000 people.
