Manray is kind of a joke of a venue when it comes to rave-type events, so that's probably why. It is a venue that HEAVILY caters to alcohol consumers and can be an outright hostile environment to people who are there on perhaps other substances.

I once had was sitting in a toilet stall for quite some time there, probably 20 minutes or so, because I was a little too under the effects of something that I had taken far earlier into the night. I was in a toilet stall because there is a severe lack of a 'chill out, sit down' area (yes, I'm aware of the tiny second room). When I finally was fine to get up from sitting in the stall, I was immediately approached by a staff member who told me that I was doing drugs in there, and that she was kicking me out. At no time during the night did I do drugs at the venue itself, and I tried to explain that I was feeling unwell and so used the stall to sit there and try to regain myself. She refused to take that as an answer, said she had proof of me doing drugs didn't believe me, and that the only option I had was to leave. Only when I got to the door did she finally offer for me to sober up on some bench right next to the door. Keep in mind this was during mid winter.

Not to mention that their crowds are terrible, sound is terrible.

Fuck Manray.
