Right, just got me a ticket.

Doors open at eight, but I can be in the area from whenever, so when is everyone else getting there, and where is the best pub to plot up in?

The Approach Tavern is on approach road, kind of behind the venue, or there are others on Old Ford Road, or the Shakespeare is just near Bethnal Green Tube

I'm meeting Dirk at Bank at 7.30, so I reckon we'll be there by 8. Dirk has a better grasp of London than me, though.

Does anyone know if York Hall has a bar? Surely it does?

The tournament doesn't start until 9.30 so not sure what they're putting on before hand to keep us amused.

I was hoping for a Julius Francis belly dance.

are you in the unreserved section as well? might as well plot up with people we (half) know.... i reckon it will fill up quick, so might want to get in and sort some seats out straight away?

I got the £30 ones, so I suspect you might be right. Musical chairs, anyone?!

I've never been there before. Finally can tick it off my list. Only MSG left.

I might be going. If it's alright I wouldn't mind seeing a few of you for a laugh.

Basically, if anyone wants to meet up with me and Dirk drop me a mail and I'll give you my mobile number.

We have the £30 tickets, so as Matthew said it appears to be sit where you like, we can all sit together singing "Row row row your boat" and giving each other high five's.

Well shall we say for those of us who live/work in London, or who are getting up there early - the Shakespeare pub near the stattion, from about 6? then over the road to York Hall for 8? or if we arent bothered abut sitting up the front, we can mooch over there about quarter to 9?

The York Hall does have a bar but it gets really packed.

The Dundee Arms is opposite the venue.

Not going tomorrow myself but IMO the Approach Tavern is by far the best pub in Bethnal Green, 5 mins walk

Yeah it dies, only a little one though

the bar at the york hall is a bit of the old spit and sawdust, but its ok. there are a few drinking venues in the close proximity, one of which used to be run by charlie magri i have heard.

The bar at the York Hall is awful, and is always populated by leery coke addled chavs in my experience.

When I went for the Thaxton fight it stank of vomit as well.

The Dundee arms is the traditional meeting spot, but is a pretty rank pub.

Sorry about that James, I couldn't find the toilet.
