Unsure to be honest...strikes me as the kind of show that could have also slotted into Studio A at Oxford Road (and the 3sixtymedia tie-up - which led to that being mothballed - was still a few years away)
Maybe being an indie production rather than an in-house BBC Sport commission allowed some leverage for an on-air ticket plug, if indeed it was being recorded at Quay Street.
A little off-topic but the UC team did produce a North West-only 'Schools Challenge' series for Granada with Mark Radcliffe that made use of the UC set and graphics of the time.
