The troubled new Co-op Live arena has said it has completed an inspection that should allow it to finally open after a string of problems and delays.

A statement said it was "satisfied" with the result of the inspection, which found it was an "isolated" fault.
Rock band Elbow are now due to open the UK's biggest indoor arena on Tuesday.

"Following the incident in the bowl on 1 May 2024, an inspection and verification report was undertaken by SES subcontractors," a Co-op Live statement said.

"In consultation with Manchester City Council, responsible authorities, and wider stakeholders, we are satisfied with the process and outcome of the investigation identifying the HVAC nozzle as an isolated manufacturing default.
"This is a standard process of review in any venue when such an incident occurs. We now look forward to welcoming fans to Elbow's opening performance on 14 May 2024."

Yeah feels like it’s getting there now, things are much calmer on site. Truth is it just wasn’t ready a month ago, nowhere near. An incredible amount has been achieved in the last few weeks to be fair.

I see they're still pointing the finger for the vent falling to the manufacturer "as an isolated manufacturing default(sic)"
