Depending on what you read, you could believe this is all one big conspiracy theory to swindle hundreds of millions for their own pockets.
There will be quite a few in that echo chamber i expect.
New Stadium | 100k Stadium to be built - design visualisation released
- Thread starter FootyGirl88
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?

Bowl square stadiums like the ones you mentioned look alike. There are many all over the world. Common design.
Im saying these two stadiums will have a very distinctive common design,
A net wrapped around both stadiums.
Two stasiums will share this design.
One in Manchester and one in Marroco.
I'm also expecting it to take off. Maybe its all a covert plan to build a spacecraft for billionaires once the world is fecked.
Superb.
Can't wait to spend half the day under the umbrella in oubs and restaurants before watching the match.

That everything about the matchday experience will be soulless.
And regarding the affordability of new build housing, the price of a flat isn't magically baked into the walls of the property, it's set by supply and demand. This country needs to build more houses as fast as it can.
Yup. I was thinking the same. Looks like a trident for me and I am good with that.
Please please please dont be our Nou Mestalla
Maybe they just pull that net thing over like a big den..?
Feel like it would be better if they lessened the 'net' look and had the spires on the actual edges of the stadium (two on one end and one at the other) to create the trident effect.
In fairness, I've made my point on this and accept I should shut up now (I will).
On the second part, probably needs its own thread. I also remain pessimistic we wont see a repeat of what happened to local residents in Newham / Wembley etc.
That won’t be a problem
Our elevated dugout would've made more sense. The pitch slope??
I do like that the players still come out of the corner - even those that’s far from an original feature, but does give OT an unusual feature compared to most grounds coming out of the middle of the pitch.
There is a pitch in the mockups. Whether that’s OT I don’t know?
Any timelines given and is it same site as OT?
I think that would be a great idea.
Theres something about me being able to take my lad or my future grandkids and be able to point at where Georgie Best, Duncan Edwards or Beckham graced the pitch.
Look at highbury even - the pitch is a communal garden for the apartments.
Losing that connection to whats been before will be sad.
Also, i hope you are right about the seats - look forward to explaining to the misses that iv blown our annual holiday budget on a pair of sun bleaches plastic chairs to replace our living room sofa lol!
To the west of OT so we won''t have to move while it's built and Foster is saying goal of 2030 - latest 2032.
If the players don't bungee onto the pitch from those turrets, to the sound of Boston's 'more than a feeling' then it's a complete bust, quite frankly
That's part of the regeneration for the Manchester area, just imagine all the new employment that this project will generate.
it will be like thunderbirds
For a man who spends half his life on TV, Gary Neville is extraordinarily bad at reading scripts.
It looks like Butlins at Minehead. Wonder if they're planning on any 90s rave weekenders.
Give him few hours, he will be delighted.
Looks awesome but at the same time it screams "ye filthy monthly wage earner will never set foot in me!!"
I actually like it. I also remain sceptical that it will ever see the light of day. I just don't understand how we can finance it with the state the club is in?
Can we not get someone to sponsor it...ie Qatar
Qatar Old Trafford?
Amazon Old Trafford

No new stadia have roofs. The Prinipaity was built 25 years ago now. There’s just no need.
Gigs will always be in the summer, and it doesn’t matter if it rains.
Great that this is moving forward. Club has to move on from Fergusonism.
Should have done everything possible to remain at Old Trafford, this is only about making the Glazers more money in the long term, 115 years down the drain
The new Stretford End is going to be immense.
Its doesn't sound achievable to do this under 5 years.
My first reaction was WTF…. But after reading and understanding that the towers tie to the trident and on a clear day can be seen from Liverpool is the sort of ominous we are coming for you type of thing that is pretty cool.
I’m not sure how I feel about the tent once somebody says circus. It’s hard to get it out of your mind. Definitely looks like something from an Arab nation, but the Qataris did not buy us.
You can tell they were going for some thing like the Wembley of the north and wanted it to be unique and have a light up feature similar to Wembley. So tied that to our trident otherwise it would end up looking like Wembley. I’m sure.
Honestly, I think they could’ve done better with the top. The trident is not bad. But it would’ve been nice to have some of the white rigging elements like old Trafford. So a new exciting stadium with a nod to the past.

Old Trafford powered by Snapdragon.
And to be totally honest I wouldn’t be against it, because we’d all call it Old Trafford anyway
Thank you. Looking at the overlay on that Reddit page, old Trafford will slightly encroach into the new stadium footprint so will likely be a time we have to find somewhere else to play while there’s the change over, plus it’s going to take a lot of coach and car parking up while being built. What a mammoth task
Would love to work on the construction project. I will be firing my CV out that's for sure.
What?
Looks great but how have they not included a video screen inside? 100K stadium is massive so would think the field will be tiny for the fans in the nosebleeds
Heap is absolutely right
What are you talking about? It has a roof.
In my simple brain having a company like INEOS as co-owners does make the project more achievable...or makes it feel more achievable.
It was interesting to hear how they could make it else where and ship it in down the canal haha...sounds crazy at first but then you can't help feeling like its more reality than just a fancy promo.
Whatever happens it's exciting, if you can't be excited about today's news and your first instinct is to moan and grown then no design would ever be good enough.

The one thing I like about this new stadium is that it’s going to be LOUD.
If we get the playing side improved, we’re going to become a fortress again, people will be afraid to come here.
