I don’t think there will be many City fans staying in the hotel, at least those based locally

Times have changed, fans come from all parts of the globe and with the chance of staying next to the stadium I think you will find plenty of our fans staying there.

Am I right in thinking that the new hotel will be the biggest (most rooms) in Manchester?

Yes, biggest in Manchester

Really....who will be staying in it, rags ? Every home game it will be booked out with City fans, one hotel isn't enough, i expect another one will also be added.

Don’t forget there’s something like 450 rooms for a stadium which will hold near 62,000.

It was be used a lot by Co-op Live ticket buyers as well.

It is. When @pride in battle first claimed it, I had a go at 'fact checking' it. It will be the biggest hotel in Manchester, by number of bedrooms (401). The next biggest coming are 357 and 338. After that it drops significantly. There are taller hotels, or bigger in area, but by number of rooms it will be the biggest, out of anything currently proposed. As far as I have been able to see.

Just this as a reminder of the next size of hotel after this, for comparison. And one of those is not built yet.

Yes but will it be the heaviest (most massive)?

How do they fit 450 rooms into that hotel. It doesn't seem big enough

400.

They are small rooms ;).

Joking aside, the hotel is massive. The context here is vast so doesn't quite look it maybe, but in the city centre, the scale of it would be more obvious.

One floor

Think they released a small batch of gold season cards to compensate for the season card holders that deferred for one season after COVID

Correct me if I'm wrong

Could be. I don’t know the circumstances just know she and her partner got them. They can’t have been alone.

401 rooms acccording to the Design and Access Statement - and that 1 is really important being the Presidential Suite across both the 7th AND 8th floors!

They'll have most of the terracing in before starting the new roof. It looks like they're going to cut away the back sections of the roof (the steel, not the panels), so that they have room to join the tier together and complete the terracing

They have cut out quite a few, will put the video on later if I ever get out of the traffic!
