a non-football related question

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

It's a great venue. Been there a few times and from my experiences it's a pretty safe area.

The area is safe enough. usually get a few rude boys hanging around there but no problems.

its very easy to get to and from. Venue itself isn't bad, good sound in there. long wait at the bar usually not much choice but other than that it's good.

who are you seeing there?

The venue is one of those rectangular rooms, rather than an old dancehall type with a circular or oval crowd area, so best to get to front early on as otherwise you end up being stuck at back and hard to see stage.

It's a safe enough venue (please G-D for you), it's in that precinct with the Borders and the cinema, couple minutes walk from the Angel tube. Why not take a trip to the stadium before or after to pay your respects too...always inspiring to go there even when no game is on, just to see where the best team in England plays.

Lol gonna say, I think its the people inside I'd worry about more! Not a rumour is a pretty good album actually, though I'm sure there is a whole song dedicated to London gun crime!
