I know its the fucking Eurovison song contest but it's such a shame the new arena wasn't ready in time for Manchester to bid for it.

Would have been a Europe wide bit of publicity for the arena as I'm sure with seats meaning £££ we'd have got the nod.

Along with the proposed hotel and 3000 capacity plaza. That would have sealed the win. 4 years too late.

TBF, Liverpool must have run a very good pitch, not only to beat the other cities, but to beat Glasgow as well. The Liverpool Waterfront is a great setting. Having Manchester Airport on Liverpool's doorstep also helped their bid. Not to mention the 1000's of additional hotel rooms in Manchester that will be booked up. Manchester will benefit from Liverpool getting the Eurovision Song contest.

With the price of Hotels in Liverpool for Eurovision I reckon Manchester Hotels will be booked solid and the City centre buzzin. It was a great win for Liverpool and the region in general.

Manchester Airport has finally got it’s act together.

Celebrity spin doctor turned podcaster Alastair Campbell praised Manchester Airport on his The Rest is Politics podcast recently, claiming he sailed through security and customs in 15 minutes.

The Airport is claiming that wasn’t just a one off and that over the Easter weekend 99% of passengers got through security in 15 minutes or less.

New queue monitoring technology and the deployment of over 2000 new members of staff have rapidly improved performance from the grim days of last spring and summer when delays, queues out of the buildings and staff shortages caused chaos, as TheBusinessDesk.com reported at the time, including when the managing director Karen Smart lost her job.

Yeah, ive been thru twice in the last month. Once at 5am for a 7.10am flight (no luggage). Once at 8am for an 11am flight (golf clubs). Had no issue on either occasion. Thru security in 15 mins max, very short wait!!

Having spent 2+ hours to get thru same time last year, it was a much nicer experience all round.
