"Sufficiency City"? Bowie sang that, didn’t he?

Wham, bam, thank you ma'am.

That's the difference, none of them do

Someone in here recently said golden boy Mo Salad lives in that famous Scouse suburb of..Poynton.

Liverpool's motto should be: The Zhuhai of England.
or
Twinned with Chihuahua. Not a dog.
or
Sufficiency City.​

Never tried Liverpool's Echo M&S Bank Arena or the Exhibition Centre. Did see an empty Cavern and the nearby Spike Island. For all its worth, Liverpool doesn't seem anywhere near MCR in terms of music venues. It did have Eric's, the Casbah, Bandwagon, Aintree Institute, Iron Door, Korova, Maguire's, and Lathom. The Olympia, Empire, O2 Academy, Philharmonic, Zanzibar, and Royal Court are as drab and glum as their surrounding city. The Invisible Wind Factor is a rip-off Factory. The city just doesn't appeal and it is kind of sad. London is huge and flooded by venues, whereas a belt of Northern venues could supply a decent competition to that.

Manchester's range of major and medium entertainment venues is diverse, The G-Mex (Central), O.T. Cricket Ground, and the Etihad add to the cross city capacity. Had some ace nights at them all. Don't recall many going to O.T. Swamp for Gigs, etc. Even the O2 Waerehouse is too close for comfort.

I'm not a fan of Busking KDB, but his recent concert at the Etihad looked like the circus had come to town. I'm glad people come to MCR spending their pennies and then watch the whole bloody thing through a camera lens.'



This new Coop Live adds something to our city and it is grand. Looking forward to the refurbished New Century Hall too. Manchester is a dynamic city. We didn't get the casinos but we did enhance our culture.

What land around the stadium is left?

Despite Liverpool selling itself on its musical heritage, it’s actually a pretty tough market to sell tickets in. I do a lot of tours and in terms of ticket sales in the UK, London obviously sells the most, with Manchester and Bristol coming in second.

There are many artists that the Co-op Arena would be too small for if they can use the Etihad next door. Top selling artists would rather wait for June and July to get 60,000 at the stadium rather than 22,000 at the indoor arena.

At the same time you see a lot of artists going to o2 arena in LDN. I wonder with our Emirati and american owners having ties with the UFC we can host some events there that would be sick
