Will I be able to take a half time anxiety dump while getting cancer from second hand smoke? Why is nobody asking the big questions.
New Stadium | 100k Stadium to be built - design visualisation released
- Thread starter FootyGirl88
- Start date
Yeah as long as you've got the 20 quid admissions fee for the toilets.
Dedicated toilets for smokers and cocaine users.
Fair enough- theres been some tent stadium such as casablanca or the old bayern stadium olympia stadium, but it is much rarer than the modern UFO designThe new toilets will blow smoke up your arse
Hope so for your sake. But that stadium looks very expensive to me and I wouldn't be surprised if the fans will have to pick up the bill.
Totally the opposite a ‘Devil’s Trident’ which is what the walkway and stadium represent would only antagonise any incoming future Middle Eastern Owner beyond belief!
Not that I particularly mind the modern design personally. I'm not even sure how I feel about the tridents. They do look distinctive though which I think I like.
Christ, thought Jim was gonna fall asleep it went on for that long, with such drawn out answers.
Without doing a proper study of the new stadium and in lieu of the size and weight of the individual modules, this is fairly normal now for large scale projects. A big shift from stick build to modularised cargo. Ineos particularly have favoured modularised cargo recently.
It’ll be built in a major fabrication yard (or several), moved out by barge, loaded to a self-geared vessel (depending on the fabrication yard location), rolled on to another barge down the Manchester canal. Roll-off the barge and down to Old Trafford on SPMTs.
It’s obviously going to be more intricate than that, needs a full feasibility study and shit ton of transport engineering, but that’s the process at a high level.
All doable in theory but a massive undertaking.
I’ve heard they’ve got automated heated and self cleaning, self flushing and the toilet seat is self closing too!
Apparently importing them from Japan and we will have a new sponsor ‘ToTo’ on each toilet, some of these toilets are going to sing all our best chants as well when you enter?
So when I’m receiving a rim job during half time, it’ll have notes of applewood smoke
As long as we don’t have those infamous German toilets where your shit lands on a flat surface at the risk of grazing your sack on the way down.
Generally speaking, I do kind of like the design. The three towers should be a little wider for my taste, though. Other than that it’s at least quite unique.
Yes I am sure it will.
Quite agree.
Manchester United is my passion and like many others, I am desperate to see it back at the very top.
I think those excited by this forget that the Glazers are still the majority stakeholders, and only reinforces their current position in going absolutely nowhere. But, hey. Least now they've helped bring Disneyland to Manchester.
Me too.
Having looked at a few videos and all the pictures of the proposed design. I hate to say I really don't like the design but I won't moan about it because once I accepted they were going down the new stadium route I suspected it'd look something like this.
I just hope we have a cleaver way to fund it that won't cripple the club financially for years or price out the regulars.

Jaysus. Pre fabrication comes with a host of issues, mainly mould and water protection issues during construction
If Google’s billion pound office in London had similar issues then be hard to argue that this won’t too.
In fact, they’re claiming this to be environmentally friendly, but there’s surely concerns about its longevity in general no? It won’t last the same amount of time that Old Trafford did without constant expensive maintenance, something we neglected before - but even more needed with fecking solar membranes and rainwater harvesting.
It’ll probably be in disrepair in 75 years, meaning a new wave of construction, and meaning more carbon in the atmosphere. Gimmicks like that umbrella tent thing are common in parts of the world that generally don’t give a feck about sustainability.
I think it’s stunning, visiting a stadium for a match should always be special and you have to say it’s pretty unique and thankfully not some boring bowl/dome that seems to be the trend these days
Cleaning the panes on that canopy would require a lot of windex.
With the amount of people I see smoking in the toilets of Old Trafford on match day, you sort of get that effect already.
The design looks absolutely beautiful!
Not sure if that would be possible unless everything around is raised up, United had to raise the pitch to get the drainage and undersoil heating in which suggests they can't go down very far, presumably becaue of the water table, going by car I'n guessing will be actively discouraged
Sad, because I love Old Trafford, even if it is a dump. So many good memories in that place. Just hope they will find the new stand with equally good ones.
I can recognise the scale but your average visitor to the city/stadium only has X amount to spend as will the new residents, perhaps I'm looking for negativity but I find the newly developed parts of Manchester cold and lifeless. What I'm getting at is I hope it brings in more new money and opportunities rather than pulling from preexisting areas. I'm being a touch selfish as my current job is something of a rival business and is likely to get affected.
It'll take 5 years to build the accomodation for all the Polish builders they'll need to import in!
You need a stadium to operate on more than 30 days per year.
Look at Wembley now, it’s more of a music venue than a football stadium.
I reckon I’ve been to the new Wembley 60-70 times, and the majority have been for gigs.
Like you say, there is no competition in the north.
*giving
I think it's more to do with the fact that the younger guys have only known the stadium as it basically is now, us older folks remember it when it looked nothing like it does now, what we might have been nostalgic about is long gone and has been for decades
It’s a convincing video to be fair , sky sports news had it on earlier
I get that. My intention was to be positive, not to reinforce my own opinion though.
I know a lot of people got valid reasons to not like the design, as others have valid reasons to like the design. In the end, someone has to make the decisions and be responsible for them, knowing that it will not please everyone. My bad wording to try to be positive was that hopefully everyone will come to love it in the end, because we love United and it will be our new home.
Of they pull that off and find the money wherever, it will be absulutely amazing
fecking embarrassing. FC United still about?
I'm unsure how to feel about the whole thing. Mostly I'm just feeling that money ruins everything.
Looks like a circus tent, to match the circus that the club has become in recent years. Theatre of Dreams to Circus of Nightmares - the headlines write themselves on this sucker. Also, sounds weird to say it but I think there's too much red everywhere - looks a bit tacky. Also, about time the club changed their branding - it's started to look really dated. Apart from that crack on lads.
We're gonna have the best stadium in league one, can't wait.
