==History==
Gary Neville initially purchased a plot of land underneath a canal bridge close to Old Trafford from a group of Manchester United F.C. fans who owned the land with the intention of building a club house. They agreed to sell Neville the land to build a hotel on providing he promised to build a supporters club as part of the hotel.〔(Eurosport 'Inside Hotel Football: Gary Neville, Man Utd and the responsibility to cater for working class fans' 6 March 2015 )〕
In 2011 Stuart Procter, former general manager of the Stafford Hotel in London, was drafted in to mastermind the build and development of a football themed hotel by members of The Class of '92, the idea behind the hotel being to hark back to the golden era of football of the 1990s, before ticket prices soared 1,000pc, pricing out many fans.〔(The Telegraph Friday 12 June 2015 article on Hotel Football )〕 The construction of the hotel was handled by Galliford Try and features subtle football references throughout the building.〔(Galliford Try Hotel Football overview )〕
In May 2014, to promote the construction of the hotel and its impending opening, the ex-players involved in financing the construction played a game of Five-a-side football on the roof of the hotel against a team of builders involved in the construction.〔(Manchester Evening News 'Class of '92 stars have kickabout with construction workers' 22 May 2014 )〕 In November 2014 Gary Neville won permission to put a five-a-side football pitch on top of the ten-storey hotel, a previous application had been approved in May of that year but changes to the design meant a resubmission was required. Manchester United F.C. objected to the plan, claiming the scheme on the site of a former lard factory undermined the “holistic vision” of its “strategic plan” for the area.〔(Construction Enquirer report on Hotel Football November 2014 )〕
