    Right so me and a mate are going to the Khan fight on Dec 5 at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle. Does anyone know of any hotels/b&bs to stay for the night? I obviously want it near the arena, but also near the town centre if that's possible (I don't know if the arena's in the city?) but the priority is near the arena. I've tried all the hotels on the metro radio arena website and they're all unavailable so we're sort of ****ed right now. I also don't wanna spend ridiculous amounts.

    Any help?

    I've done my fair share of late hotel bookings on my travels and I have always found this site extremely useful:

    Cheers guys. I just booked one called York House Hotel in Whitley Bay. It's apparently about 30mins away from the arena, can anyone confirm this? Seems like a bit of a romantic hotel though, they offered me champagne, wine, flowers and chocolates as extras. Gonna look a couple of poofders coming for a romantic rump in Newcastle :patsch Also, where are the good places to go in Newcastle? No rough places, red light districts or gay bars plz :good

    I am going to this, it should be a great night of boxing... I think that Khan will box the ears off Salita...

    How do you the card will go? Prescott v Mitchell?..:think

    You ****ed a few up as well, Dan.

    Check your capitals :good

    Newcastle is a pretty good place to go...... there are loads of cheap B&B's in South Shields, you can get the Metro from there to Newcastle for next to nothing - it's a decent place to have a few beers after the show as well.

    I'm a fan of Mitchell's, so obviously I want him to win, but his defence is awful and I can't honestly look past him getting KTFO. He'll go into a war with Prescott which will be good to watch whilst it lasts. Will be good to see the Olympians live and it could be a laugh seeing Enzo too. Obviously it'll probably be the last chance to see Khan before he goes to the States and that's the only reason why I'm going to see him, not really that excited about Salita tbh.
