Visit Manchester response to National Football Museum relocation

18th November 2009

Paul Simpson, managing director of Visit Manchester, said: “This is great news for the city and for everyone that loves our national game. Football is very much part of Manchester’s DNA and, whilst Preston has been a great home to the National Football Museum (NFM) since 2001, I’m looking forward to working with them on showcasing the museum’s collection to an even greater number of people. Urbis will make a great home to the NFM and it will be a great addition to our tourism product.”
