Any Lancashire members out there?

The Lodge, the hotel within the Old Trafford Cricket Ground, was due to be demolished during the 2015/16 off-season.

Does anyone know whether it has been demolished or has it had a temporary stay of execution?

The hotel still has a website http://www.lccc.co.uk/emirates-old-trafford/old-trafford-lodge/ but I've tried a few dates in 2016 and all came back as unavailable

I guess it has already gone.

Last year LCCC submitted a full planning application to Trafford Council to demolish the existing Old Trafford Lodge accommodation scheme, the rear section of the A stand and Development House, and build a six-storey 150-bedroom hotel with a coffee shop, a ticket office, a pop-up bar and a glazed bridge linking the hotel with the neighbouring pavilion.

Thanks for the info but has The Lodge been demolished already?

From this week's local paper:

CHARITIES have benefited from the impending demolition of Lancashire County Cricket Club’s on-site hotel, the Old Trafford Lodge, by receiving beds, linen and furniture to help support their work.

The Lodge at Emirates Old Trafford will be knocked down this month (February).

Many thanks. So sad. We have stayed there many times since it was first built.
