"Replay" Manchester 2012 - where could it be?

[Helensification]

I agree with Rich. The Events City near Urmston is most likely. It's location makes it easy to get to and of course the free parking aspect fits what Dave said.

30 minutes from mine

Thats walking at a decent pace with stuff in my back pack

So are we all crashing at yours? 5000 people should fit in a flat if we stack them. It'll be like human Tetris.

Yep, i'd say event city looks like the most likely option!

[witchfinder]

I know where it is, but I'm not telling...

^Hint?

If its a short bus ride away from T/C its a winner.

An EVENT in the CITY of Manchester?

I have no idea where they could host an EVENT in the CITY.

Think its out of order you're just teasing us with the information. A case of 'we know but you dont', you could just be nice and tell us

[retrogarden]

Could be where they hosted that Manchester Winter Ales Festival. Think it was more of a conference room, rather than the hotel.

Also, I'm putting this out here right now - if you could get a supply of Manchester Eggs to sell at the venue I, and many of my Manchester bretheren would be eternally greatful!

I'm sure someone could get Mr Holden to set up a stall... http://manchesteregg.com/

Food of the gods!

^What is this ? Food and Drink exhibition ?! Whos going to get a lot of manchester eggs to sell ?? (Had to look it up !). One table might have a Vectrex, another some old Commodores, and on this table we have some manchester eggs Black pudding and an egg though ? Urrrgh ! We better get some cockles/fish n chips for all the southerners coming up.

That's right, people don't eat at all day exhibitions, there wasn't a food place at Blackpool....er except where the served food obviously.

[psj3809]

Well IF its that place its right next to the trafford centre they actually have a fair few good restaurants/snack type places at the Trafford Centre. Chinese/italian, everything, Maccey-D's for Chiptune etc so we'll be well catered for.

For that retro old skool touch i think witchfinder should bring up the burger/chip lady from the famous Stoke show as she was a legend

Absolutely, it was her enthusiasm that I loved about her

Aye - some people might see it as a bit "faceless" but there is plenty of choice - Yang Sing Cathay (the restaurant upstairs rather than the fast food outlet downstairs) is a very nice chinese restaurant, although it will be busier than utter, utter hell during the daytime.

Anyway, this is still all conjecture (though it's fun to plan )
