Boxrec meet up? Friday February 1st

If anyone fancies a few ales before the Maloney card at York Hall, Bethnal Green on Friday, February 1st, I'll be in the nearby Dundee Arms from 6.
I'm white, overweight and with a crew cut, will be wearing jeans, trainers and polo top and will be quaffing a pint of lager.
So that narrows it down to 90% of the Dundee Arms pre-boxing clientele.
Get yourself there if you can make it. Unless you're a shithouse. In that case, stay at home.

I see this has somewhat backfired.
And I sincerely hope 'backfired' isn't slang for something homo-erotic!

I went down to see Martin Power beat Argie Ward. Got a hotel from a website which was close to the venue and looked sound.
Hilarious when I got there...the picture was of the first floor - below was a kebab house and my room window backed directly (literally 12ft away) on to a tube track!

The Holiday Inn Express on Old Street is pretty close and pretty decent in a no frills kind of way. Only a short cab ride away.

Only just looked at the bill, there are some really good match-ups, hope they come off.
Salem v Fry and Cook v Harding on the undercard are interesting ones

A bit pricey, though, thats the drawback. The bast are the Travelodge specials, which are a bit random, and have to be booked WELL in advance.

Sounds like the " City View Hotel "
The number of bad reviews of this, and similar for the close by "City Inn Express" put me off. I don't mind limited facilities, but things like dirty rooms, broken windows, credit card fraud etc were enough to put me off.

Nick, isn't that slang for a double anal?
Have any of these meetings ever come off? Wasn't there one where you had a fight in a taxi or summat?

Oh yes in Manchester for Tyson v Francis I ended up cracking some mouthy scouser in the back of a black cab.

I think I was actually trying to drag him out of the cab outside the Holiday Inn to finish the job!
