Echo Arena, not a safe venue.

you dont have to tell me i let it be known...no words were needed, just a complete look of dissapointment and a shake of the head was all that was needed.. he knew he was in the wrong...i'd put it down to drink...but theres no excuse a man can never be that drunk lol

 

Even as a Scouser, Price-Fury at the Echo has the potential to be a nightmare.

A load of drunken Scousers & a load of Pikeys?

I was sat behind the blind Soldier who carried the Olympic Torch on Saturday & felt ashamed for the lad, glad he couldn't see any of the **** going on. Hardly even watched JLD & McP as the brawling & the aftermath was too distracting.

To be honest though its weird, I actually thought it'd be worse.

 

On the whole I thought the majority were well behaved.

To be honest if pissing in the sink or someone having a cheeky line is going to offend you, you might as well stay in & not go anywhere.

Certainly not to my house anyway.

 

Scouser myself, and you can get a lot ofscousers being nobs, BUT, its the same with any city and loads of places. Ive seen loads of nob heads from birmingham acting a ****, john murray fans acting a twat. It happens everywhere. I know it does in liverpool and the echo, but some of the sanctimonious shite on here from people who hail from scumbag filled shitholes such as manchester and birmingham, oh my word.

In another thread someone was saying how classless scousers were for giving audley **** and its only scousers. Are they for ****ing real. I would not personally abuse anyway whos got the bottle to get in their, but audley gets it everywhere he goes not just liverpool.

Yes there are scumbags in liverpool, as there are everywhere.

 

:yep

:good

 

Wouldn't really bother me if people were sniffing coke in the toilets, that happens anywhere you go. up and down the country.

If Fury loses to Price the "travelling community" will kick off BIG TIME.

 

think i'd echo what someone else said and it's a case of picking your fights. i'm in my 40's and take my girlfriend to fights all the time. the only trouble we've seen is at the big fights - the magnificent 7 at birmingham and mitchell-katsidis at upton park. we've now come to the conclusion that due to this, the ticket prices, the **** views and the large number of knobheads that we'll avoid the big fight nights and watch them in comfort on the telly.
our live viewing generally tends to be york hall or another smaller venue where there is an interesting bill - we've been to see billy joe saunders a few times and despite him being a traveller there's never been any trouble and in fact we've ended up sitting with his extended family and they seem very nice people.
there are some excellent small hall bills where you'd have agood nights entertainment with no hassle - i'd recommend a spencer fearon bill. we also look out for a bill where you've got some up and coming stars or an interesting bill - watching above the ring at york hall when nathan cleverley took courtney fry apart was probably the best nights boxing we've been to

 

Totally agree. I'd normally go for being at any event rather than watching on TV but the cost of big shows and the view you get for the money means staying at home is usually the best option. You're better off saving the money and going to two small hall bills.

 

How are you so sure of what scousers would or wouldn't do if you're from Leeds?
You don't hear that song at Liverpool games anymore never mind at a boxing event.

 

Hello EC

I agree with this, the thing is, boxing needs the casuals.:good

 

Not saying that his extended family aren't nice people. But we haven't seen BJS lose yet mate. No one feels the need to kick off when their lads winning at a canter.

 

If Price-Fury happens, it's going to be a war zone... pissed scousers v pikeys on coke, FM or fat mick probably won't pay out for any extra security and it'll make bad news for boxing!

 

I saw a lot of fights at Brook v Hatton... Dread to think what Fury v Price would be like

 

Joe you understand youve been brought up in Liverpool therefore your shock o meter is significantly lower than the Thread Starters right ??

 

Honestly mate usually if I'm a room of say 15 people, I'd say on average about 10 of them are regulars on the stuff.

I've never tried the stuff myself because of a drug related death in my family but I am always out with lads who are off there heads on the stuff and too be honest they're as likely as the next pissed up idiot to have a fight. I've had more fights than most of them when I've been in town and I don't even take the stuff.
