Nope we also used to enjoy our annual trade show when it was in Manchester, a great city, then it moved to Telford, also quite fun, that Ironbridge is quaint and the beer not too expensive, it's just Birmingham that sucks, probably just ahead of Liverpool in vying for the ultimate title - City Hell on Earth.

It would be the last time lots from the South Coast would bother, Birmingham is the absolute pits of hell, I don't think there's a single thing that would persuade me to venture there for pleasure, it was bad enough when work forced trips there.

If you could see me now I'm doing the "move it somewhere else like Birmingham or just anywhere outside the M25" dance and crossing my fingers Wink

FB chatter, there was apparently a meeting of stakeholders the respondent went to, the Suzuki Sponsorship is ending as is the shows tenure at the Alexandra Palace, so discussions were taking place as to what to do next.
