How are you doing this, again? Surely should have more gold in thereYessir.
From "Old Trafford stadium industrial yet contemporary"
YayWhat a weirdly cnuty thing to say.
Well I’ve been going for over 50 years and have witnessed it being knocked down and replaced several times, so I suppose I’m used to it.A season ticket holder (me) could just as easily that only people that rarely go to OT (if ever), or that aren't as connected to OT, don't see it as a historic place and are therefore happy to see it knocked down and replaced.
Well now that you mention it mate, the North East quadrant would definitely pose some problems. I think when that was expanded back in 2005 all the work was carried out in the summer.The main stand I would imagine would be problematic, access to that would appear to be very limited, in today's world of 'elf & safety I could see that being a big issue
You can call your stadium what you want, doesn't have named after it's location
Indeed, any new stadium will most likely be called the Amazon Prime Hippodrome or something similar.How about 'The New Old Trafford'?
Why not just 100,000?I’d love the new stadium to be 100,500 capacity would be great if we were the first club in the modern era to hit 6 figures attendances every home game
To be fair, one of the few things the parasites said they wouldn't do and haven't done is sell the name of the stadiumIndeed, any new stadium will most likely be called the Amazon Prime Hippodrome or something similar.
Oh I know but over the years the reason I've heard for that is Old Trafford is such a well known stadium, with such a long history that everyone would just continue calling it OT anyway so it wasn't that valuable to sell the naming rights.To be fair, one of the few things the parasites said they wouldn't do and haven't done is sell the name of the stadium
Looking at this picture there's no way you build another stadium on this site without knocking down the current one, the current footprint seems to be much larger than I recall, I always though there was enough room to the right but it's pretty clear that there isn't enough roomWell now that you mention it mate, the North East quadrant would definitely pose some problems.

You could be rightOh I know but over the years the reason I've heard for that is Old Trafford is such a well known stadium, with such a long history that everyone would just continue calling it OT anyway so it wasn't that valuable to sell the naming rights.
But with new owners building a new stadium I'm 99.9% certain they would sell the naming rights.
A stadium design that takes into account the respect shown for the fan base. Very symbolic!I told Midjourney to make us a stadium fit for oil.
Presenting..... Gold Trafford, or variations of it at least.

Yep, I'm no expert but it doesn't look like there's enough land to the left of OT to fit another stadium the size of OT never mind a bigger one without it affecting the transit hub. I don't know how much control United actually have over that despite owning the land. It's not something that can be realistically moved.Looking at this picture there's no way you build another stadium on this site without knocking down the current one, the current footprint seems to be much larger than I recall, I always though there was enough room to the right but it's pretty clear that there isn't enough room
Where I used to work has been flattened along with the office block next door, at least they didn't knock down the Trafford next door on the other side!
Because we would not get 100,000 attendance due to seats not used to separate the away fansWhy not just 100,000?
Would we care I wonder? Renaming Old Trafford would have been wrong in all sorts of ways, but a new stadium wouldn't need to be protected in that sort of way really.Indeed, any new stadium will most likely be called the Amazon Prime Hippodrome or something similar.
Personally I wouldn't care, if we leave Old Trafford and build a new stadium either adjacent or somewhere else then we might as well make money from calling it the Apple I-stadium or something.Would we care I wonder?

where would we play whilst renovations are ongoing?It's not feasible to knock it down and rebuild. Where would be our temporary home. Not like we can use Wembley. City wouldn't share and other grounds close by far too small. Our ground is far to iconic to be knocked down.
Renovate the ground and some of the new tech. Give the council a nice backhander so they allow the railway to be moved so we can increase the family stand.
You can renovate stand by stand don't have to close a full stadium. We forever increased the stadium and renovated without much disruption.where would we play whilst renovations are ongoing?
This ar stadium is too iconic jingoism is starting to grate,
Old Trafford wont be the first stadium in the world to be replaced.
I say do it now while the price is still semi reasonable.
What we did before was not a renovation, it was a capacity increase, something we’ve maxed out in because the south stand can’t be touched due it’s proximity to the rails.You can renovate stand by stand don't have to close a full stadium. We forever increased the stadium and renovated without much disruption.
If it was possible to build a new stadium basically side by side the old one before knocking it down I'm sure that would be feasible. The theatre is more than just stadium it's the site and the canal etcWhat we did before was not a renovation, it was a capacity increase, something we’ve maxed out in because the south stand can’t be touched due it’s proximity to the rails.
Real Madrid’s renovations was a top to change and required them to play somewhere else for nearly 2 years.
there is no more renovation to be done to OT that would be future proof, if we really have changed as a club it’s time to stop papering over cracka and start looking to the future.
Not sure it's only up to City, they don't own the stadium.It's not feasible to knock it down and rebuild. Where would be our temporary home. Not like we can use Wembley. City wouldn't share and other grounds close by far too small. Our ground is far to iconic to be knocked down.

That's correct, Manchester City Council own it but my guess would be that City have exclusive rights to use it/Not sure it's only up to City, they don't own the stadium.
Guessing this AI is Canadian? It would have us level half of Stretford and the quays in order to plant maple trees!Been messing around with AI
Think we'll need more men's toilets than that
With some planning permission from the council, they can get creative indeed.I'd hope with the shape of the plot that we could get creative in terms of the shape of the ground, a bit like Brentford did with theirs but it does show we could build on the land and then knock bits of OT down as we progress.
What have they done with Stadium 974 after the World Cup? Can we borrow that for a year or two whilst OT is being rebuilt?Can't wait to see the new owners plans. If its Qatar then I do see a full rebuild happening
It was going to Africa, but may now end up in Uruguay for the 2030 WC. I guess it could detour if we needed it.What have they done with Stadium 974 after the World Cup? Can we borrow that for a year or two whilst OT is being rebuilt?
