Funnily I think 99% of supporters couldn't GAF because we're all overseas and we have no hope of getting there. But for the 1% that can I hope you get it.
Was initially a revamp fan. But in reality all sensibility points towards building new. Incorporate the white frame roof, Munich tunnel, red brick & glass & u can’t go wrong.
Currently I live in the south and as a single bloke I'm planning to move up to Manchester by the time the new stadium is finished. I'd love to live in the new rejuvenated area of old Trafford if I can afford it. Obviously, I'd want to be a season ticket holder by then. I'm guessing loads more season tickets will become available if we have 25k more seats but even if I have to buy an executive season ticket for a couple years first then that's what I will do. I'm really looking forward to living in Manchester and I can't wait for them to start the new stadium.
lol not being funny mate but manchester is largely unaffordable now for locals, cause everyone from the south has been moving up here for the past 10 years cause to them it's 'dirt cheap' lol. lot of those 25k seats will be hospitality & there's already a huge list, you can't just walk up & get one. don't move here just for a football team pal, it won't bring the happiness you think it will
Disrupt…. I wish you well mate, if and when the stadium is rebuilt or a new one constructed you will need an absolute barrow load of cash to relocate, but hold that dream.
Bring it on. I’m a traditionalist but a new stadium will be in the shadow of Old Trafford, which will help, ie same travel/ walks to the new stadium. The current ground has 150yr old foundations, so we will move eventually, so why not now. Renaming will be interesting mind!
Why wouldn't you want a new fit for purpose stadium ? 100,000 + all seater is a must , anything less is unambitious . United need to catch up with Real , Barca , City etc , not just catch up but surpass all of them
Please, anyone reading bare with me as this is not easy to explain. So apparently at the moment the most likely option is that a new 100,000 seater stadium will be built right next to Old Trafford and the current old trafford will be downsized to a 30,000 seater stadium and will be used for the academy and the women's team. The main downside to this plan to me is that we'll have to move away and relocate and our senior squad will no longer play on the same pitch location that gods like Best, Law, Charlton, Robson and Cantona played in. The main reason it seems pretty difficult to retain the same pitch location seems to be that we'll need to find another stadium where we can play our games whilst Old Trafford is knocked down and rebuilt on the same location. What I don't get is why is it not possible to build a 60k seater stadium next to Old Trafford for Man United to play their games whilst the current Old Trafford is demolished and rebuilt. This stadium just like the Lusail stadium im qatar (which will be downsized from 88k to 40k) will then be downsized to 20-30k and will be used for the women's team and the academy and the men's senior team will play in the new 100,000+ seater stadium on the same pitch location that the gods I mentioned earlier played in.
Jay I can't belive I just heard you say the American phrase "I could care less" , as I'm sure you are aware the correct way is to say I couldn't care less, I'm sure it was just a slip of the tongue. (that's what she said).
If we don’t get someone like rabiot who can play 6 or 8 but mostly 8 we will burn out mainoo and the chances of him getting injured go through the roof if that happens. Also top 4 will not happen with only mainoo at 8 he is too young and needs time to grow into a 50+ game a year player
United needs a new stadium with style, royalty, and personality! It easily needs to be over 100k capacity, anywhere from 100-150 even would likely sell out, with 125 being more reasonable target. However, you cannot build a ‘box-style’ stadium such as Met Life stadium, So-Fi Stadium, and other American style complexes. ‘New Trafford’ needs the personality and character the modernized Camp Nou and Santiago Buernabau have. There can be a lot done with the the community around the development, building top notch amenities, business conference centres, restaurants and entertainment districts, as well as residential spaces around a lively stadium. This could continue generating money in concerts, tournaments coming to Manchester, and added appeal of the city.
Hey Jay, totally agree on a new stadium. As for Rabiot I’m on the fence on whether he’s right for us, I’m leaning to a 👎🏻. Seen some links to a young Spanish player from Sevilla Juanlu Sánchez, maybe worth checking out.
Glad I'm not the only one whose against any possible move for Rabiot to our club! Not even Casemiro being awful is making me want him. Rabiot knows only Man united will pay him bigger wages otherwise why hasn't he gotten a club! Old bad habits.
New 100k+ stadium? Only if we keep OT as the stadium for the women's team and/or for the youth, maybe rename it to the Sir Jimmy Murphy arena. Still put a couple pounds in it to make a proper historical but of the club
🤷🏾♂️ doesn’t matter what any of us think about Old Trafford 👉🏾 Sir Jim wants a state of the art stadium for Red Devils, & that’s what MUFC will get…no one will demolish Old Trafford 👉🏾 it will become the official stadium for MUFC Academy & become a museum amongst a brand new market development 🏟️
Never gonna be happy about losing Old Trafford and as a fan I don't care how long or how much it costs to bring it back to its former glory. But that's the beauty of it not coming out of my bank account I suppose. Guess a good place to get opinion is talking to older fans of other clubs and how they feel about their stadiums changing when they grew up with Highbury and so on. Old Trafford for me though everytime, just get the place up to scratch Glaziers/Ineos please 🙏
INEOS should just get on with it, gauge the feelings of fans but ultimately make the decision as the owners. Fans will always differ in their opinions but the decision should be left to the owners.
Remember manchester united is losing support as the years are passing you need supporters to fill that stadium we started supporting Manchester united in the 90s because of the glory they brought
I think I'm on a youtube blacklist at this point, seeing as I'm no longer allowed to post comments directly related to the topics in question without my comments being immediately removed... About the only things I can say is "Yay, go United!" 🤨
De Ja Vu again! Why is EtH carrying the Terrible Twins (Maguire & Lindelof) for 2 seasons, encouraging mediocracy & sentiment at the Club. It has been going on for too long now. Getting De Ligt shows we can offload Maguire, Lindelof, Eriksen & Bruno + any other surplus players & kept Kambwala. Now we can persue Todibo for next season, Inàci, Rabiot, Eze & Ferguson then we can seriously challenge for league & Europa league this season!
Most fans would hate this but I'd be okay if the current stadium was turned into flats but only for United fans. I'd definitely try my best to own one. I've never understood why people assign so much importance to an old stadium thats needed replacing for years. The memories created in Old Trafford will never disappear as they exist in your head and your heart, not in an old stadium. If they did decide to turn old Trafford into flats, I would pay my deposit today if I could.
You want a 75k stadium rammed right up against a new 100k stadium because you can't let go? And spend tens of millions a year maintaining the empty old eyesore of a stadium. What is this nonsense.
I don't see how you keep it beyond nostalgia. It's a tight squeeze having 2 stadiums, it already is for those walking from the east stand to the stretford end. OT is rotting & unsafe, that'll cost millions a year to maintain for no reason along with insurance costs. In 20-40 years we'll have to dismantle it anyway or spend £500m making it safe. Pointless keeping it. Get rid & make an open wide area with developments on the sides/train station on the left with few multi storey car parks people can use on matchday & every other day of the week for retail space etc. Much better use of valuable land.
If United are going to build a completely new Stadium are they going to have a retractable roof on the Stadium and I think it makes sense,because look at the new Real Madrid stadium that has just been built it has a retractable roof and Madrid has a better climate than Man
Preach it Jay! We don't want or need our club, or the area, becoming just for the rich. It was a club born out of the working class, and it should remain a club available to the working class. Fvck the tories.
Come on Jay. Do you really think they're gonna build affordable housing for the masses on that land? It's gonna be retail with expensive flats on top. Even when they do in London the definition of affordable is like 10% of flats with rest being for rich overseas/local investors to rent out. Even those sold have insane leasehold fees/facility charges. Also if they don't knock down current OT...where tf are these new developments gonna be??We're very lucky to have land for a new stadium next to us, which few clubs globally have, but once it's built it's gonna be a tight squeeze if you don't knock OT down. These developments are just gonna be a new train station with govt money. I read the full press release, load of mumbo jumbo corporate pr words. Sounds like we're just leeching off government funds for wider regendetation of the area that isn't even on our land. The expansion of media city over the canel/bridge to wharfside was always gonna happen anyway. Forgive me, but I'm not in favour using taxpayer funds to partly fund investments of 6 yanks & a monaco billionaire, making them richer. Even the Americans have finally grown a pair & stopped using public funds to build stadiums for billionaires. If they go ahead there needs to be a clear breakdown of costs/where taxpayer funds are going. How about if the mayor/govt expanded transport links to improve traffic? Made easier connections to greater manchester where there's cheaper housing/more land for new houses? These inner city developments end up going to students, airbnbs, hotels, retail or people moving from the south priced out of London so they buy/rent up here. It never helps locals directly. Say what you want about City but at least it was & still lis a proper working class area even with the gentricfation. At least locals who owned homes benefitted from higher house values/transport links. Places like this are built with gentrifcation already priced in. How many folks born & raised do you know of who live in media city?
Question to you whoa the mayor of Manchester ans whay party does he associate with? Additionally sjr which party did he fund? If you correlate it together it shows that dirty tactics has been used whereby like yoi said taxpayer money will go towards the redevelopment however why is that currently beinf discussed and potentially get clearance When you uk os on massive Turmoil and people are debt ridden and gas electricity flying up cost of living is a shambles yet they can fork out millions if not billions on unnesscary things that least requirement.
Let INEOS build a new stadium, move into the future instead of stuck in the past like we have been under the glazers! It’s the only way we are going to become a force again
Not really how it works, unless ya getting them a job on a construction site which is what most the jobs consist of in those stats they always show off. Most redevelopment isn't even on our land & is like 10 year+ down the line. Nice idea, but not realistic. The land is built on by private developers, they sell to investors who then rent out to private industry tenants. Nothing to do with us even if it was on our land. You can't make private companies hire people.
Sounds like a huge expenditure for a bottom third side. I would suggest getting a real manager and some world class players before shilling out money for a new stadium.
We don’t need a new stadium rn we saw how that impacted teams like arsenal and Tottenham when they couldn’t buy players, we aren’t in a position to finance a new stadium when the first 11 needs major work especially since is unlikely sjr will pay for this so more debt than we already have
@roywall8169 and I've seen lots of positives, we were very unlucky against Brighton, should have had 3 points. And Liverpool were clinical against us, when we missed our chances
Another rich tory ex politcan who now 'lives' in Monaco. No wonder him & Jimmy are best mates. Nothing tories love more than chipping off taxpayer funds for their mates.
