I think it was two years ago I brought some food with me, and it was consficated at the door, with the assurance that I could collect it on exit. They threw it away instead.
That, with the aggressive attitude of the staff, used to dealing with drunken hooligans, the bar staff hiding away the free tap water, the apalling toilets, made it a very No-No venue for me. (The event and the attendees make it a yes-yes-yes venue, so I still returned.)
At some stage TV and richer sponsors are likely to discover the champs, and it will become a big money prestige event. It is in their interest to improve.
I hope the new management have a better vision and attitude.
