There was a moment as we waited for the annoucement of whether Manchester had secured the Olympic games when we held our breath and believed for a moemt we could do it. Well all the hurt can be forgotten as it was announced today that Manchester will be the site of the UK's first ever super-casino. The winning bid organisers said it would regenerate a poor area of east Manchester, promising a £265m investment and 2,700 direct and in direct jobs in one of the most deprived parts of the country. The casino would be based at Sportcity in the Beswick area of Manchester (class), close to the City of Manchester Stadium, now used by Manchester City FC and built for the Commonwealth Games. The proposed site will also contain an entertainment complex with a range of facilities such as a multi-purpose arena, a swimming pool, an urban sports venue, restaurants, bars, a nightclub and a hotel.
Blackpool Council is said to be bitterly disappointed, shouldn't that be bitterly disappointing?
Who the hell chose Beswick for the site? I can already see bag-heads queueing up to mug the lucky punters as they leave with their "unlimited jackpots".
So get, get lucky on a one arm bandit inside , get stabbed by one outside, it's a funny old world ...... I'm sure there is a tenuous link in here somewhere about City and chances of winning something being increased.
