We stopped in the Premier Inn Denton last year, we got a good deal by booking very early, Might work in the first year of the SWC worth a try :wink:

Within a 5 minute walk there is a travel lodge and diamond lodge but they are not in the nicest part of Manchester. Within a 6 - 8 minute taxi ride you have any amount of hotels inc the city centre

Great to see the World cup in Manchester.

 

Sensible decision to put meetings on Friday and Saturday... No clash with Sheffield on a Thursday

 

Will Sheffield put an attractive match on the Thursday?

Certainly good that Manchester get a couple of big meetings in their 1st season at the new track,but I wonder how wise it is to hold 2 meetings on consecutive days,plus I guess training as well?Or when do Team GB ride the track if they are seeded to the final?

The week before if they are able to fit it in, or have a meeting as soon as the track is available against an EL select.

Isnt that against the rules? Dont know of one myself, but didn't a rider complain about it this year or the year before regarding SWC?

Not sure but if it refers to a meeting as Denmark used to rent out Kings Lynn for a week no doubt GB could rent the stadium and have a "practice" if not allowed to have a meeting.

Practice for the teams on the race-day is nothing new.

Exactly.But they don't normally have a meeting the evening before on the track.And that is all with the weather being perfect.......

Denmark used to rent King's Lynn at the start of the season,not a week or so before the SWC,i think.

Thought it was always better to have the race off on a Thursday, at least it gives a spare day in case of a rain off, if that happens in Manchester there`s a good chance that will move the Final to the Sunday, causing chaos to those fans booking hotels, but its Manchester so the chances of rain are very low.

Check out the Diamond Lodge, it's situated right opposite the Greyhound stadium about 150-200 mtrs from our new home.
