That looks amazing.If we do end up building a new one, I'd thieve the Indianapolis Colts' stadium design. Not much says Manchester more than a massive fecking red brick warehouse.
You must have tiny legs and just a massively long torso then.I'm 6"3 and have literally never faced an issue at Old Trafford relating to my height so I'm really interested to hear the explanation to this one.
This is great. That exterior looks so classy and a perfect fit for Manchester if the bricks are red.If we do end up building a new one, I'd thieve the Indianapolis Colts' stadium design. Not much says Manchester more than a massive fecking red brick warehouse.
I love the roof from inside, looks very industrial. Miller Park looks great as well, Doc.This is great. That exterior looks so classy and a perfect fit for Manchester if the bricks are red.
This stadium looks like a place where you go expecting some craft beer and you are disappointed there is a stadium in it instead.If we do end up building a new one, I'd thieve the Indianapolis Colts' stadium design. Not much says Manchester more than a massive fecking red brick warehouse.
Exactly what happened in White City when the BBC moved there originally, still is but has been gentrified massively since. You got all these nice fancy arse apartments and a massive Westfield then you walk less than a mile and you get the run down craplola that is the White City estate and Shepherds Bush is a weird mixture of it all, Manchester feels very samey in a way to that, I had to go Media Village (worked for the BBC) and it was all completely flashy then you go out and it's abit ... UrghI love the insane juxtaposition...you've got Strangeways which is a hell hole and at the end of those streets you see modern skyline developing. Anyway I'm not sure it started then, it started back in 96 but stopped due the world economic crises at the turn of the millennium, the boom has kicked started with a lot of private investment in the last few years. But I do get the feeling the powers in charge would like to see Manchester as a second capital.

It’s called media city ffsExactly what happened in White City when the BBC moved there originally, still is but has been gentrified massively since.

Sorry that's the one in London, Media City is ManchesterIt’s called media city ffs
May as well do a brand and location swap with Newcastle. Their owners get the Old Trafford land and Manchester United name and can start their huge project.Might as well tear down the whole club while they’re at it.
I do quite like this idea. Future United youth sides playing their games on the original hallowed turf at OT, under the shadow of the South Stand and the Munich Tunnel.It would be class if we built a new stadium next door, and the new mini-stadium incorporated some of OT, as has been suggested. Keep the South Stand as the 'main' stand (fix the roof though!) and strip down the rest to smaller single tier stands. That way, the heritage of the stadium remains, instead of being totally demolished. Would be rather cool if the youth teams got to play at the OG Old Trafford.
We could have a word with Barsa's bankers. They seem to have solutions to this.They don't need to rebuild
The ground needs updated technology and lick of paint alongside some DIY but a rebuild/new ground would cost what a billion?
Given that most people think we need to spend 500 million on players alone this summer, where is this money going to come from?
I just never have to sit down tbf, corners have very tight leg room I know that. But as pointed out there are other massive issues with the more modern types of stadiums too so it's more a case of pick your poison.You must have tiny legs and just a massively long torso then.
I'm about your height and OT is a fecking pain in the arse for leg room, by far the worst of all the stadiums I've been to.

It's not about next year or the year after though is it. Most grounds take about 10 years from initial plan to opening so the costs would only be architect designs and planning fees for the first few years. The ground would only be being used in the 2030's and financing would be over 20 to 30 years. Spurs paid an estimated £1.2b which should be around £45m per year over £30 years but it was a difficult build which they part played in. Originally it was only supposed to be £600m but costs spiralled as they played in it which took much longer. I think Everton new stadium is more comparable in terms of cost. £500m for a 52000 seater on a new site. Again a difficult build due to filling in the dock with sand first. We own the ground at the fright yard, its level with nothing to do to clean up the site. I think it could be cheaper and definitely faster than renovating OT.They don't need to rebuild

Leicester might not agree to that.I just want cup holders on the seats
That’s effectively a rebuild you’re talking about.They don't need to rebuild

atletico Madrid, and gdansk, 2 of our last 5 away venues, absolutely blow old Trafford don’t the alter, especially Gdańsk, beautoful stadium, so much room, sorry but old Trafford is seriously lagging behindDon't demolish the bloody stadium
There isn't that much wrong with Old Trafford. It's a bit old and tatty and needs to have some money spent on it, the south stands needs to be developed and I'd like a big screen. None of that detracts from the fact that Old Trafford is a pretty good place to watch football.
Ffs they've spent hardly anything on the ground the quadrant sections were planned before they bought it, they've threw lick of paint here and there . Updated the disabled section. Knock it down and start again?
Unless they get a Saudi Prince to give them the cash stadium is staying the same.
Yeah for sure, like the framing of an old factory.I love the roof from inside, looks very industrial. Miller Park looks great as well, Doc.
City and Arsenal you cannot be seriousWe need a new ground to rival City, Spurs & Arsenal. In addition, we could do with a new squad, new board of directors and a new manager too.
Can imagine they'll view a new stadium as being up for grabs sponsorship wise too.They make more profit knocking it down. Madrid are paying £25m per year in repayments and they're projected to make £400m extra revenue per year. Their stadium will cost £700m over 30 years. They'll (Glazers) go mental and make it commercial to generate as much cash as possible. These lot are businessmen, they won't be doing for the love of the fans. I can't see them doing owt else.
