Looked up some random large stadiums currently under construction to see what some current designs look like.
They won’t even replace a bucket when it gets a hole in it.The Glazer leaches won't fix the leaky roof and we are to believe they'll build a new stadium..
I was wondering that tooIs the smaller stadium a basketball court?
There are many posters here who believe Murtough and Rangnick are idiots. So I wouldn't say "pleased"Brought in a new structure and Rangnick which pleased most people.
They shouldn’t plan for car users at all. Not one able bodied person should be coming to the stadium by car in 10 years time.It‘s fine wanting a bigger, safer more comfortable stadium for the match day experience as long as you can park your car within five miles of the place which is impossible now, and be able to get home on the same day you left. I haven’t been for four years or so, but it was cramped, smelly and not a pleasant day out. How much more debt would the G,Azeri load onto the club if they did build a new stadium?
I'm 5"8' and even I have issues with leg room at OT.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.
Some would say it still is. I think the roof in particular makes it sound quieter than it is but there is no hiding the fact that we have more day trippers than most. Even when I visit I tend to drive and I like a few beers before I’ll really get into the singing.Old Trafford was a 'soulless bowl' in 1915 or circa 94.
The roof of this stadium is crazy when it opens and closes
No architect but I would presume given the constraints of the space in the South Stand, having to do it whilst keeping the rest of the stadium operational, linking it up with the rest of stadium, as well as modernising the rest of the stadium... there might actually not be too much difference to building something from scratch on a flat piece of land.Must surely be cheaper to rebuild the South Stand, despite the railway, than to build a new stadium with 85,000 seats.
I actually thought about it seriously, you could always use one of them while you rebuild Old Trafford. With a bit of chance one of the Glazers may step on one of the lego piece and hurt himself a little bit.Qatar will have a few stadiums going cheap come January, if we don't mind used condition.
Agreed. It would be great if the women's/youth team smaller stadium kept a lot of the features of OT.I was wondering that too
Surely the smaller stadium could incorporate the south stand and Munich tunnel if we were going down the route of a new stadium to the side of Old Trafford.
This was the rumour last time this was brought up and dismissed both in the mid 00's when the plans were made, just before the Glazer's came in and still the same in 2019. Everyone was apparently shocked with how much the south stand would cost including how much per day Network Rail wanted to shut the line so work could be done. Also Network Rail would offer no money for the improved railway track build but wanted control over how it was designed and built. This was given as partly the reason why so much land around OT has been bought, including the freight yard, where the new stadium could be built. Therefore they didn't have to deal with Network Rail and could continue at OT until it was finished. It was suggested a new stadium on this land would cost roughly the same or even less than rebuilding the south stand, the quadrants and other upgrades. It would also be built in half the time with less planning issues. I don't if it was true but it was a plausible explanation.No architect but I would presume given the constraints of the space in the South Stand, having to do it whilst keeping the rest of the stadium operational, linking it up with the rest of stadium, as well as modernising the rest of the stadium... there might actually not be too much difference to building something from scratch on a flat piece of land.
Im not entirely sure what either have done wrong in their long term roles, but sure.There are many posters here who believe Murtough and Rangnick are idiots. So I wouldn't say "pleased"
Trafford industrial estate but the centre is starting to look like a modern metropolis. Another 20 skyscrapers are planned or under construction. This isn't going to stop.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'm sure the three people who didn't know that started supporting City in 2014 anyway.It's can't be New Trafford there area is Old Trafford. There's no such place as New Trafford.
That all started really when the BBC decided to sell off their London home (for £250mill ) and become Manchester centric instead over at the Media VillageTrafford industrial estate but the centre is starting to look like a modern metropolis.

Spoons they are going to build a football stadium and shopping complex. Malls are their bread and butter.It can't be New Trafford there area is Old Trafford. There's no such place as New Trafford.

Love the idea of people thinking that the stadium was either a) orginally just called "Trafford" but had the word "Old" affixed to it at some point when people noticed it was getting on a bit or b) pre-emptively called "Old Trafford" when it was built because people at the time knew there'd be a new stadium at some point and wanted give them an easy name choice with New Trafford.I'm sure the three people who didn't know that started supporting City in 2014 anyway.

Well, I tend to like certain elements of new stadiums.You thinking of any stadiums in particular in terms of being architecturally interesting?
If we're playing along with the idea that a new stadium would even be a possibility, it would be interesting to see what modern stadium designs people actually like given the complaints more "soulless" stadium designs attract.
Great example of being both modern and traditional. Chelsea’s stadium design wasn’t to my taste but at least having brick and being different would’ve been cool to see.If we do end up building a new one, I'd thieve the Indianapolis Colts' stadium design.
