Just because everyone turned up from Euston in this case simply confirms
what I was saying - Londoners thought it was worth making the trip, people
from say, Bolton, would have decided Salford was difficult to get to and
stayed at home. When considering cities the ease with which the station can
be reached from everywhere should be the priority, be it Manchester
Piccadilly or London Liverpool Street.

If I may interject, Salford is quite hard to get
to, even for locals.
Proximity to Manchester Piccadilly and Victoria would be a better
criterion.
:)
Well, yes, but that doesn't affect Alison's point. Anywhere in
Manchester would have been a bad choice of venue.
Not necessarily. You can get to anywhere in the world from Manchester
Piccadilly.
Yes, but if everyone is travelling there via Euston, then somewhere
near Euston would be a far better venue.
