  • QPQ done. New enough. Long enough. Fully supported by inline citations. Image in article has fair use rationale. (hate PDFs) Hook properly formatted and neutral enough. Supported by inline citation and source says "Manchester re-evaluated its ambitions in anticipation of a second bid for 2000, and the focus shifted to east Manchester (‘Eastlands’), 1.6km from the city centre, derelict and ripe for renewal, as an alternative stadium site." ... "Shortly afterwards Manchester submitted the same scheme design to the Millennium Commission as a ‘Millennium Stadium’, only to have the proposal turned down. Undeterred by these disappointments, Manchester now looked towards a new target, the 2002 Commonwealth Games, whose Commissioners visited the city in January 1994." Good to go. --LauraHale (talk) 21:33, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
