In Simpsons 'Comic book guy' style "Worst venue ever"
Way too far up north for the majority of the ballers to travfel.
Way too far from an International airport for the XSV guys to travel
Weather that far north is always dodgy.
A midlands venue, or venue in the south would be preferable. Travel from the USA to Heathrow or Gatwick is far cheaper than flying into Manchester. And it would be a hassle for the XSV guys to travel for hours and hours from the airport to the hotel near the venue.
I would recommend the place that Sparklie held her M25 leg in Cobham as a perfect venue. Close to many many hotels, close to the M25 for service to Gatwick (30 minutes) or Heathrow (20 minutes) and the venue is awesome. Flat grass, large open spaces. Club house, changing rooms. Would be ideal.
Also bear in mind that the guys on XSV are party animals, London nightlife is the best in the country, and close rail links mean its only 30 minutes form Cobham.
To give you an idea how perfect the venue is, Chelsea football club train there.
