Its going to be a city within a city, it will be paid for by the commercial developments, it is impressive and I hate to say it, it is iconic |  |

Absolute disgrace. Must admit, did enjoy Sir Jim Ratcliffe defining what he deems as a ‘proper fan’. Seems to have a lot of plastics up in arms…… If we thought some of our Noddies on Social Media were bad, that Mark Goldbridge takes things to a new level. [Post edited 11 Mar 16:07]

Goldbridge is even worse when you discover that he's from Nottingham and was a forest fan before "discovering" United. Saying that they dealt with him much better than we have our "influencers", he pretty much can't show his face at old trafford because it's been made clear he's not welcome there. As for the new ground personally i think it'll be sad to see Old Trafford go, it's one of the last iconic grounds in the country and can make a hell of noise when they get going. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

They will have to sack a lot more backroom staff (on tops of 200 recently let go), to pay for this. The money they saved on staff hot meals they stopped will not go far towards building this circus tent. Ratcliffe is a dreamer. If it goes ahead, they will potentially have the best stadium in the Championship. |  | |  |

I’d welcome a New Old Trafford but only with the government assurance that the M5 would be significantly widened to take account for the extra volume. |  |

Sorry City Boy, didn't mean to steal your thunder with my post above, but agree wholeheartedly! |  | |  |

Yes, absolutely. I've noted this with the railways near these grounds. Brighton is a 31,000 seater stadium yet Falmer station only has two platforms. Results in massive queues, which a lot of our fans had to deal with this season. Everton's new ground will have the same issue; I've already seen complaints over on Twitter about how busy Sandhills station (the nearest one to Bramley Moore) was in the U21 fixture they held recently. Guarantee when that place starts hosting PL fixtures the queuing will only get worse and more chaotic. No idea how they don't account for these things |  | |  |
Manchester United To Build New Stadium on 10:24 - Mar 12 with 109 views | Number_58 | I see they're taking no chances with the leaky roofs - they're putting a big tarpaulin over the actual stadium roof. It's a bizarre design, more Saudi Arabia than Salford. And God knows how far from the pitch the back rows will be. It's bad enough at Wembley and that has 10,000 less seats than the new OT will have. |  | |  |
