    Would love to have this fight at the SECC, braehead too far out with **** transport links, Kelvin hall too small, football stadiums in Glasgow to big. SECC is the perfect option IMO and I'm certain with the right promotion, this fight would sell very well in Glasgow. Scotland vs England thing, Mitchell being a little bit of a name etc.

    Airdrie stadium would sell well as its just up the road from Coatbridge, but i wouldn't be keen on having it there. Though the hours of fun watching the Coatbridge and Airdrie young teams in numerous gangs fights before and afterwards would be interesting :p

    From the pictures I've seen, the facilities do not look great. But I've never been to the stadium so I can't really comment. I've been to west ham on numerous occasions for football, and once for boxing, and it was pretty good from a fan point of view. It is within a 10 minute walk from 4 underground stations, it caters for 30,000+ people on a fortnightly basis. It just seems more logical, plus Mitchell is a good ticket seller down here.

    I wouldn't mind Celtic Park, I wouldn't mind an indoor arena in Scotland. But I just don't see the logic in having it at Airdrie

    Have to laugh at 'free rail travel will be provided' in/out of Airdrie.

    By who exactly? Someone would have to pay for the drivers etc...

    Watch the guy fight rather than look at his KO percentage, he is capable of stopping Mitchell and Crolla.

    It's obvious were this fight takes places, exactly were Frank makes the most money!

    I'd love the fight to be up here but if Mitchell is a massive seller it will be down south.

    Rumours are Gavin Rees will be Burns opponent in March ;)

    I'm not being funny here, but Airdrie stadium with 17000 tickets. Dont see that happening really :roll: If he is being chased down streets by young lads throwing bottles at him in his home town what chance does he have of selling those tickets :think


    Plus free transport?? Come on, You dont even get free rail travel when Take That are in town :huh Selling out 50k + stadiums. Did they give the people of Scotland free travel when Tyson was in town :-(

    And Buckfast city!! I can see it now the crime stats will be through the roof and Monklands hospital will be choca with daft arses that have malkied one another :dead
