They have done a pretty good job on the refurb but it is now run by AEG so you get arena styling queuing and security outside the venue, and ruinous bar prices inside; £7.50 for a Moretti.

Hopefully being turned completely corporate hasn't affected the environment.
Saw the Manics there three times there in the late/mid 2000s including the JFPL show you mentioned. Those were the days when Manics fans turned up early to queue to get the barrier. Can't remember which show it was (probably the SATT one) where some fans brought down a table tennis table and played games whilst they were waiting!
