British Rail FAIL Copperbox Arena SAUNDERS vs RYDER

"As we get on towards one o'clock," in the morning, the announcer was saying, it was time for SAUNDERS vs RYDER, the main event of the night.

The announcer paused to explain the reason there were empty seats at the Copper Box Arena. He told TV viewers, that this wasn't because people didn't want to see the main event...it's that they couldn't! They had to rush to catch THE LAST TRAIN AVAILABLE or be stranded for the night!

Ridiculous. Paying customers who support a live event...having to miss it, or stay home and watch on TV...because Great Britain's not so great when it comes to train service.

This meant that all fans got for their money was Dereck Chisora (finally in decent shape, and behaving himself) taking the European title against Edmund Gerber. Gerber gave Chisora a tremendous bash in the head that could've ended it in the 4th, but by the end of the 5th, he was gassed and taking a beating on the ropes.

Fans should've then been able to see the main event, Saunders vs Ryder. But no...they had to go rushing away to catch a fucking train!

Granted, the long stinker of a fight between Frankie Gaven and David Barnes went the full distance. Also granted, the promoters should have pushed up the Saunders vs Ryder fight rather than waste time with "Gorgeous Georgie" Kean's debut. Kean's patsy opponent won 1 fight and lost 34...so guess who went the distance for four rounds to a victory?

But really, when people go out for a Saturday night's entertainment, they shouldn't have to be glancing at the watch like they're going to turn into pumpkins at midnight.

We're told to use mass transit, for the economy and the ecology. So, Cameron and the rest of you pea brains...why not supply a few more trains???
