Huel Trafford
New Stadium | 100k Stadium to be built - design visualisation released
- Thread starter FootyGirl88
- Start date
I know it's discussion for another topic but why does anyone seem so certain that the 2030 final will be in Morocco? Has there been any official communication on this, am I missing something? I remember it was between Bernabeu and the new Hassan II stadium, I remember reading FIFA prefered Madrid, but never seen anything that would confirm it will take place in Morocco after all.
After watching all the promotional videos in full, I'm now hooked. Once finished, It will be the envy of every other club in the land and provide the required revenue to once again build a squad worthy of Manchester United.
It's positive news guys, let's just try and be optimistic for once.

That sponsorship deal has always been a bit sketchy though
Too many people care about what rival fans think.
Peanuts! I'd have thought it's much higher amounts. 4m a year is a quarter of Casemiro's yearly wages
Anyone else receive their 2025-26 Membership email not long after the announcement of the New Disneyland Stadium?
You may call me a cynic...
I like the Big Ideas but this one really is the Theatre of One Big Dream.

I don't think their deals should be a point of reference, obviously inflated - and they'll pay the price for it
What?
I like the inside of the stadion (comparing it to San Mamés is a compliment!) but don't like the tent and towers.
I also support Bayern so I am more than fine when it comes to stadion envy...
Don't like the aesthetics but the concept is good. Drives further revenue into the club which if the Glazers hang about will ultimately lead to the dividends being extracted.
The best funding source would be for Jim to front the cost in exchange for further equity but as such would likely make him a majority shareholder which the Glazers wouldn't yield to. United initially had 500m worth of debt and this has culminated into higher costs due to interest. Imagine what 2b worth of debt would do in the hands of these owners.

Russians won't see this coming when a nuke is launched from that platform.
Let’s be honest Old Trafford is shite and most good memories are in other stadiums such as Nou Camp and Luzhniki. It won’t be missed.
Just kidding, of course. Understandable that this design will create a lot of discussionWhat?

It is reportedly £15m per year. Whether you think the deal between the state-owned national airline of Abu Dhabi and the football club owned by the brother of the current ruler of Abu Dhabi was signed at a fair commercial rate, is a matter for you....
Who let you escape?!
I love that design. It's great that the whole process will provide jobs, new housing and regeneration.
Can we fill a 100k stadium week in, week out?
The tent is genius idea because of the amount of rain in Manchester. The 3 points are the trident from our crest
Depends on the ticket prices, I guess.
Easily.
Thanks, do I get a prize?
Have been loads of games this season that haven't sold out.
I'm devastated. This sucks. I'll enjoy Old Trafford for a few more years but after that I don't know. Ugh.
Why do you assume they were all honest, hard working people? We have a grossly inflated staffing level which probably means plenty of people have been paid a good amount of money to do feck all.
Not all redundancies are some malicious act against salt of the earth people. A lot of people will have skated by and offered very little, if anything to the club.
The club has been ran into the ground and as much as people like to pretend it's a handful of people's fault, it isn't. It might start there but certainly won't end in the boardroom. I can guarantee plenty of people have taken the absolute piss, whilst doing nothing to improve any aspect of the club.
People don't just deserve jobs because they aren't wealthy and the club isn't a charity. We over employed massively, lots of people likely had a great time but it's back to reality.
For who?
Thanks residents of Salford, but we've sold off all the land to build chain restaurants and overpriced bars for once a year visitors who need to rest with their megastore bags.
Oh and a bunch of unaffordable new build flats will be chucked up somewhere paid for overseas, just like half of Ancoats.
I am not the keenest of the stadium from the outside, I don't hate it but I also don't look at it and think it looks sexy, however the whole of the inside looks amazing, not just the stadium but everything.
I think as well it will look amazing in person, far more impressive than these birds eye renderings.

This isn’t actually confirmed yet is it? Just that they hope to
I’ll be surprised if the Glazers sign it off

Why do you believe this?
This is happening, they’re just waiting on final sign off from the government on the surrounding area regeneration funds.
Cheer up - it might never happen. United need to find £2bn from somewhere and they need the government to chuck in a load more on top of that for the wider regeneration of South Manchester, or this whole project disappears. Some sizable hurdles to clear before this new build stadium moves ahead.
This looks really cool. The spires being lit up at night for big matches would be quite the sight
I'm all for a bit of scepticism but this is just pure pessimism and naysaying for the sake of it.
Given the club's recent recored, I can't help worry that this will be delivered late and way over budget...
It is surprising there is no competition between various designs.
Instead, we got only one terrible design, which was already decided/approved. A bit unusual take on participatory approach.

Surely any new stadium will have a roof? Seems a bit mad to build a stadium in Manchester and not have a roof (assuming you'll have concerts etc. there)
Details might change, but this is happening.
Ah well, look at least you took the time to respond to my comment and not the 1000 others.
That's reward enough for me.
I'm not getting the giant glass spider web though.
What part of that do you think is unlikely?
