Co-op Live boss RESIGNS days before first show
It follows a turbulent week for the venue
Co-op arena live general manager has dramatically QUIT following a turbulent week ahead of the venue's launch. Gary Roden, also an executive director at Co-op Live, has resigned today (April 25).
It comes after the planned grand opening with Peter Kay on Tuesday was pushed back by a week amid power issues. And it comes days after comments Mr Roden made to the BBC about grassroots music venues sparked fury among music fans in Manchester and beyond.
A Co-op Live spokesman told the Manchester Evening News: "Gary Roden has decided to resign. We'd like to thank Gary for his help bringing the UK's newest arena to live entertainment fans and wish him the best for the future.
