Is it feck like Anfield. Look at the cars; not a single one has been stolen.
Old Trafford revamp/could be torn down and rebuilt according to Glazer plans

You don't know they're not stolen.
They're too posh to have been stolen in Scouseland
How are you doing this, again? Surely should have more gold in thereYessir.
From "Old Trafford stadium industrial yet contemporary"
Yay
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.
The current configuration (i.e. since the corners were filled in in ?2006) is by far the longest I’ve known it to be unchanged.
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.
Indeed, any new stadium will most likely be called the Amazon Prime Hippodrome or something similar.
Why not just 100,000?
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
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.
But with new owners building a new stadium I'm 99.9% certain they would sell the naming rights.
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. I think when that was expanded back in 2005 all the work was carried out in the summer.
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!
You could be right
I told Midjourney to make us a stadium fit for oil.
Presenting..... Gold Trafford, or variations of it at least.
A stadium design that takes into account the respect shown for the fan base. Very symbolic!

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.
Because we would not get 100,000 attendance due to seats not used to separate the away fans
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.
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.

I think a renovation would be the best option. A bit like they did Parkehead from Celtic. one side at the time

God bless your soul.
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.

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.
You can renovate stand by stand don't have to close a full stadium. We forever increased the stadium and renovated without much disruption.
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.
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.
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 etc
Not sure it's only up to City, they don't own the stadium.
That's correct, Manchester City Council own it but my guess would be that City have exclusive rights to use it/
However, they wouldn't refuse United if they asked, aside from the extra income the rivalry at fan/team level isn't anywhere near that level at the executive level and never really has been
Been messing around with AI
Guessing this AI is Canadian? It would have us level half of Stretford and the quays in order to plant maple trees!
Stretford does need a bit of work to be fair
Think we'll need more men's toilets than that
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.
With some planning permission from the council, they can get creative indeed.
Can't wait to see the new owners plans. If its Qatar then I do see a full rebuild happening
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?
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.
