The section about the Coop Live Arena is further down the article, if you don’t want to read the full article?

The full article is worth reading as it’s a good insight into the growing indoor arena industry, etc, and the growing revenues it will generate in the future.

It's 2024 we should not need to travel this way to games, it's going to get worse with the opening of COOP live

GMPTE went nearly 15 years ago. Luckily, for your tune, they were replaced by TfGM, which fits even better.

True.

I still call Manchester Central, GMEX. And the AO Arena the Manchester Arena. Etc.

I’m a FOC. :-)

Man City empty seats idiots detract from an important issue

There are lots of grown-up conversations to be had around how clubs and governing bodies treat fans and the money they make off them, but that is lost in juvenile points-scoring

That would be great. The trouble is it would cost a fortune. The monorail is driverless and so is raised up on stilts the whole way to keep it away from cars, pedestrians and horses and carts. Gatwick serves thousands everyday so they could justify and recoup the cost.

Monorails are pretty useless beyond the likes of short Airport Terminal People Movers. They can only cope with a point-to-point system or a loop. No points and no branches are possible. They are a technological blind alley.

The most high profile one I can think of was the Sydney Monorail. This opened in 1988 and was closed by 2013. The only monorail I have travelled on is that in Kuala Lumpur. I was underwhelmed. It was slow and not particularly comfortable.
