Manchester Central Convention Complex

And I think this debate has only just started.

Also, sticking with Skafex, the show has now wrapped up after two very busy days at Manchester Central.

There was plenty of new kit, new roofing systems,

digital tools, software, augmented reality and automation on the show.

I'm going on this stock tag, Rota.

She puts me on 30 September in Manchester Central.

Oh, she's done that.

Where's the fucking start? Behind my

We've had so much phenomenal feedback.

The venue, as you know, Manchester Central is a beautiful, beautiful venue steeped in history.

But it very much was a statement event.

I think a lot of people are seeing how we have upgraded the whole racing experience for racers, for spectators, for volunteer judges, for staff.

That was the old Manchester G-Mex.

Yeah, I remember that.

But we'd been to other things, but it wasn't, yeah, we weren't out raving every weekend because we had children, but that was just, it was just sort of, this is just not relevant at all.

We headlined Redding Festival in 1990 on a Saturday night.

We did a big gig at the GMEX Centre.

I was with the band for 23 years and then we kind of fell out until 2011 and then they got Stephen Holt, the original singer, back and they're still touring very successfully but I'm not with them.

I'm not really on speaking terms with them but it's not really unfair to dwell on that because they're doing their own thing and people are enjoying it so that's all right, isn't it?

Yeah.

I still call the arena in Manchester the G-Mex because that's what it was originally called and it's come through a hundred different names.

It's like football stadiums as well, the changing names, but people just tend to stick with whatever they grew up with.

Yeah, I mean, when the sponsorship for Man City ends, sorry to mention that, Glenn, but my kids support Man City.
