Is that what was the G-Mex?
I'm not an expert on this so is the Co-Op to replace it?
Range from £65 to £250 for the ones left, just giving page maybe?

Not entirely sure but I believe the G-Mex became the MEN Arena and is now the AO arena which is where they have shifted some of the cancelled gigs from the Co-op Live Arena.
Not sure whether Co-op Live Arena is supposed to be a long term replacement for AO Arena

No, the G-MEX is now Manchester Central, unless they've renamed it again. Manchester has three arenas now.Not entirely sure but I believe the G-Mex became the MEN Arena and is now the AO arena which is where they have shifted some of the cancelled gigs from yhe Co-op Live Arena.

Ah no I meant the AO Arena (formerly Nynex and then MEN Arena), which is built over/around Victoria Station.
The G-Mex is more of a warehouse style events space nowadays, no permanent arena-style seats
Co-Op is supposed to compete with the AO, but the AO does seem dated nowadays and sound-wise isn't always great (and still has some connotations/worries for some people after the bombing in 2017). But then it does have location on its side being central whereas Co-Op is by Man City so a bit out. Will be interesting where it goes!

G Mex was somewhere completely different, think it was an old Art Deco railway station, very similar to Lime St.
Not sure what it is now, but the MEN is across the city.
Saw one of the best gigs of my life there - Depeche Mode Devotional Tour in 1993.

I think that's on the conservative side personally.
Great shout. I've asked his son if it's OK.
