Ron's analysis of Sheffield today has really made me sit up and view Relwyskow & Green Promotions in a new light. They did things their own way right up the eastern seaboard and with bills packed with star names. Nevertheless, I can clearly see the quality of bills in Sheffield is superior to their bills in holiday towns such as Bridlington.
So we discuss and simply mention the Joint Promotions promoters so regularly and we examine the various venues, but the sheer quantity of bills can make analysis quite blurred.
Therefore I invite you to share what you consider to be the ten major venues for the JP organisations, in order. An impossible task but maybe a fun talking point. I'll start with the promotion I am most familiar with:
DALE MARTIN PROMOTIONS.
Royal Albert Hall
Fairfield Hall, Croydon
Colston Hall, Bristol
Sophia Gardens, Cardiff
Guildhall, Portsmouth
Chelmsford (Chancellor & Odeon)
Seymour Hall, London
Drill Hall, Coventry
Brighton Sports Stadium
Torquay Town Hall
Am I near the mark?
Which have I omitted?
I have included some based not only on the quality/quantity of bouts but the fact they were used for championship bouts.
Please share a list of one of the other Joint Promotions.
My effort for Relwyskow , very difficult because of so many arrangements. Rel had a lot of Scotland , but for example 20th Century Combat (Max) ran Edinburgh. Tons of these that I can't include.
In order of Certainty.I do think the last 4 could be displaced.
Aberdeen , Music hall
Dundee , Caird Hall
Hamilton , Town hall
Hull , Madeley St Baths
Morecambe , Winter gardens
Sheffield , City Hall after Somme Barracks.
Rotherham , Baths Hall
Cleethorpes , Pier Pavilion
Scunthorpe , Baths Hall
Bridlington , Spa Royal Hall
Think I might leave Morrell to someone else.
