Manchester sport, ground by ground

Manchester Velodrome — archived venue index

Grounds and venuesPublished

The velodrome’s index address carries the same fault as the other first-generation venue pages: the search template printed the full list of venues under the heading in place of the record it was meant to show.

The record proper — the address, the disciplines and the note on taster sessions for riders who have never been on a banked track — is at Manchester Velodrome. The track is the single reason the national and international cycling calendar kept coming back to the city, and most of the cycling entries in the events diary are held there. This page stays at its original address because external links point at it.
