Some good bars near the station- about 5 mins walk from the arena. The Forth, Head of Steam, North, The Telegraph, Tilley's, Bodega. The bars between the station and the arena (near the 'Centre for Life') are all gay bars, BTW.
Whitley Bay is a total shithole, and South Shields ain't up to much. but if you leave early in the morning and head into town it won't be so bad. The Telegraph is the best place to drink near the station. However, if the weather is nice I would suggest going to The Bridge Hotel first and then swinging down towards the Quayside stopping off at the legendary Crown Posada. once you hit the riverside start walking up river, once you get underneath the Redheugh bridge (a concrete motorway bridge) go 100ft past that and you'll see an alley with old brick walls and a ton of foliage (it looks like the kind of place a **** happens on crimewatch), but at the top of the lane it spits you out at the front door of the arena. (a little known route to get there)
My mates from the Army is from Whitley Bay. I can confirm it is a shithole Its actually a very nice place but is full of chav ****s !
Oh well coming from the south everything northern is gonna be a shithole anyway :hey I don't intend to hang around in whitley bay for long anyway, I'll get there at about 4pm to check in, hang around the hotel bar and eat, go to the fight then into the city centre til whenever the last bar shuts then get back to the hotel for a sleep, probably put on babestation although my mate will be in the bed next to me which could get awkward :rofl then **** off home.
We were shite today..... We should be called No Mas cos by half time I had my fill... Pity you can't make it to the Khan fight, it would be a good catch up...:good
It's fine mate...tonights ITV4 card sounds better than that shite we were served up last night...:yep
Yeah it is mate. The Crolla fight was good but I'm still contemplating jumping down the stairs in the hope that I lose some of my memory and that dross is erased from my head full time
Probably why I like it then, as the majority of my mates are charv ****s (we called them charvs up here years before the media jumped on the chav bandwagon and refuse to call them that.) Nope, full of Mag twats though. :yep
That's a good call... Thought that Crolla did what he had to do against a very under par Brodie... I was gutted watching Brodie last night...he is not a touch near to what he was, that Jorrin result galls me even more now as he could have nailed some decent paydays. I think that is Crolla's level, English title maybe...I think that if he boxes Sykes again he will get beat again...:bbb
