Your favourite venue

Whats your fav venue? This has probably been asked before, but being at the York Hall on Saturday felt so iconic. Was great to be in the old place again, been so many fantastic shows over the years with numerous promoters using it.
Phil Tieu did a great job, and KO are putting a show on there in a few weeks.
Even though rubbish changing rooms, the old place has such an atmosphere.
Love it!

Leeds town Hall! Love the federation brewery in Gateshead too, amazing atmosphere!

Leeds Town Hall!...great venue,great crowd & great fights!!!

I loved the Leeds Town Hall shows...takes me back to when I first started following Muay Thai in the UK. First show I went to there was when the thai's visas were not approved and two last minute replacements were brought in from France. One of them was Albert Chey and the fight he had with Andy Howson is still one of my favourites.

Johnstone Town Hall (near Glasgow)...sounds daft but was the first show I ever presented.

Reebok will always be special for me too. MSA gave me the gig there and that was my first big, televised event.

NIA Birmingham is a superb venue...they can close that down to accommodate a smaller audience and still make it feel special.

It's funny, some venues just work better than others.

Of course...how could I forget Fairfield Hall, Croydon...there is not a bad seat in the house. With the ring at the bottom and the seating all banked up one side...it creates an amazing atmosphere and a wall of noise. Anyone who was there for Harrison's first fight with Saenchai will remember...the atmosphere was incredible.

TTT The dome Kelham Hall Dougie u forgot us already lol

TOWER BALLROOM EVERYTIME!! Great venue, Awesome view from anywhere, Central location to travel to, loads of parking, always a brilliant atmosphere regardless whether theres novice fights or big fights on. Always great to fight there.Two bars close by and where you can drink wherever you want.The inly downside would be the dodgy burger bar which has caused s few stomach upsets lol

Leeds town hall
Reebok/Premier suite
Ikon nightclub
Carnell centre(master skens shows)

York Hall, Silverwell St Bolton, Leeds Town Hall and Oldham Civic Centre all nice venues !

Oran mor is a crackin venue
great atmosphere and crowd

maryhill halls (cant remember the proper name for the place) is really good for smaller shows only holds abt 300 i think but is an auditorium , great shape for fight shows

middleton arena was cool too

the Glasgow central hotel has been my favourite so far :)

Old and New

Bolton (Silverwell st: ) Sports centre Epic place
Ikon Bolton
Reebok BOLTON
Leeds Town Hall
and Holiday Inn Hotel Bolton

MEN arena would be a good 1 if sold out, always loved it when Hatton fought there ;-)

george carnell center near manchester? something like that?? mastre sken shows young harrison, howsen, trainer, dixie, thraser, van holtzken,et etc etc

john jarvis venue in the nice plush hotel - circular room so layout is great, and adds to the venue.

Great changing rooms, great fights, great set up

The Keddlles venue at City Pavillion in Essex is brilliant and
Great atmosphere.
York Hall is superb too.

Oran Mor for atmosphere. Lovely venue. I particularly enjoy hearing the fighters in the balcony changing area warming up - pads being smashed add to the atmosphere / anticipation.

George H Carnall Center looks mint & its our new Base , a Manchester version of Barnsley Merodome ..

The New Bingley Hall by far is one of the best UK venues at the moment, can hold 3000 people, good veiws from all areas, ample changing, warm up area, x3 car parks for free (1000+ cars), 4 bars and plenty of room for sponsors set ups, food catering etc, runway/stage, lighting, star cloths etc, Next show Sat 13th April!

i quite liked the tent thaifight was in haha, town hall great atmosphere but reebok is immense !

Make sure you get your ticket Karl for Reebok in April then ;-)

George H Carnall Centre: Master Skens shows were ace
Leeds Town Hall is fantastic,Ikon had great atmosphere.
Reebok awesome venue.
Event city good too,Not as good as Reebok though.

Heywood civic hall for smaller shows.

York Hall

yes chalky and defo george h carnell was great ya right and Stockport town hall ( both g master Skens shows ) and i think george h carrnel manc was where Liam Harrisson made his debut? or at least 2nd fight and was great because they was all filmed by Night of Combat Now Is The Time on Mainstream TV

and wow webdunk that looks a great venue prestige

has to be the old woking community centre. for sentimental reasons. i've been knocked out twice there, had two of my own shows there, awesome.
lol

Reebok
I for atmosphere
Prince of Wales hotel in southport

Any where close to a nandos

Elland Road Football Ground

York hall ....electric but pants dressing rooms ...freezing cold in winter saunas in summer ... Woodville halls an old venue Al and sean used eons agon ... great alround and unreal atmosphere

will do mike, @chalky George H Carnall Centre was great, the first big show i ever went to was there, only problem was the seats were bloody uncomfortable haha

Neptune Stadium Cork city, is electric when theres a full crowd, Watson v Muller, McKallig V O Flynn and recently Howson v O Callaghan the place went crazy

George H Carnall master Sken shows,with Holzken,harrison,dicks,... great shows! But your right them bench seats were back breaking!!

BRING BACK THE HG WELLS WOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol. I may do, but have enjoyed a year off of promoting, so stress free!!! ;)

i went to a show in the London Hippodrome years ago it was great , i think i worked on one there as well? A Keddle s show?

also the ones they used to organise in Rochester or Gillingham? at that big nightclub fuck knows the name, massive crowd, massive laser show, some incredible fights and slutty ring girls, i used to take care of them i should have got in there back when i had hair and adecent set of guns lol Kent coast/medway towns is just a fucker for anyone to get to and from really. Unless of course youre a German bomber pilot in the 1940s.

I would love to see someone grow a pair and put on the biggest show ever- in the Albert Hall, i do think that UFC was on there once before, when Tito got a kicking off Lee Murray in a pub after.

Kelham Hall is a quality venue, easily one of the best out there.

Wow! That Oran Mor venue looks lovely. Nice shot, Dunc.

Teesside University is a cracking venue, capacity of 550 always been a sellout with good supportive crown.

Coaches n fighters have large air conditioned changing room, not the old committee mans office or gas cupboard. Ha ha

Large free Parking facility

And not forgetting the fact this venue won ministry of sound award for it sound & lighting, just to make every fighter feel special

For me I absolutley loved stevie nisbets shows in clelands miners club! Wis tiny but what an atmosphere and seen what are now top names!!

Also thought that the normandy was the venue to have the big time events that u see now in arenas! Can remember watchin a k1 max tourny in ther n loved it!!

Wouldve loved it the old lagoon and braehead arena could fully max out, jus never did, superb venues tho, hopefully the new lagoon will do the buisness!
