Assuming we ever become good again then maybe Comedy Gold Trafford should be a crappy museum built on sketchy waste ground as a testament to all the garbage we've endured over the last 10years. It'll be magnificent, 10 porta-cabins full of mediocrity, come and marvel at Morgan Schneiderlins shin pads, meet and greet with Barry the coach driver that made us an hour late for a home game, try on David de Geas gloves from the Villareal penalty shootout, gaze upon half and half scarves from our visit to Astana in the Europa league and treat the kids to a lois van Gaal mince pie and some discounted J-Lingz merch from the bargain bin.
United announce new stadium plans
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
Come and get your photo taken with the bust of Fellaini and have your photo taken with tour guide and u23 legend Paul McShane.
He couldn't get Mexico to pay for a simple wall, not sure how he'll manage a stadium, he might be up for a hotel though
This is common knowledge and an alternative or appropriate payment would have to be provided, but the thing is Peel Holdings have developed massive sites before by doing that sort of thing.
The Santander Stadium sounds appealing
Same colours for the brand would be a good sponsorship deal

"Trump Trafford"
''From an architechtural point of view father, it looks very dated doesn't it?''
Future feature in the productivity wankstains thread
They’ve also snapped up several airports and attempted running them into the ground to siphon off the land on the cheap.
You have to pay to use his name and of course it would be universally known as the Fart Stadium
His legacy. And what a legacy to leave. When you think about it before this his not really been known to the wider public. Compare him to the billionaire’s in the USA, especially self made, all have a legacy eg Tesla, Microsoft, Apple, even the retail and real estate ones. In contrast INEOS is mostly B2B and the few B2C products you notice don’t really bring about much brand loyalty eg hand sanitizer etc.
It could be possible that the whole building a car, getting into sports and now United is simply his way of leaving a long lasting legacy. Something the public with forever remember and continue to use.
If he gets this done I’ll happily accept “The Sir Jim Ratcliff Stadium”
I don't imagine that land would be cheap to buy.
There's been some suggestion that a company owned by the Glazers own the land but I can't remember if it was confirmed.
It's good, and offers a linguistic nod to English of old, but it has something missing. How about..
THE stadium. Simple, boastful, hence the capitals, and clean.
The Stadium of the North. Feck the rest.
Yeah bollocks.
The Sir Bobby Charlton Memorial Ground.
If they’re going to regenerate the entire area with attractions, hotels, cinemas, bars, restaurants and entertainment on top of the stadium itself then something like Trafford Park Stadium would be simple and effective whilst including Trafford as a continuation from the current stadium, the entire area could be called Trafford Park.
The whole area isn't Trafford Park though. TP starts the road beyond the car park.
Why not just call the new site Old Trafford? Which is what people that go will still be calling it anyway.
My big bastard stadium.
Newton Heath?
If they keep the old ground albeit being a lot smaller, for women and youth games, then OT would still be the existing stadium and keep the name, I would imagine.
New Trafford. New era… get rid of all the old shite that’s left. Build a new team.:: get new coaches.
Deport him to New Trafford please
Microsoft Stadium at Old Trafford v2.0
Wembleh
Thought they'd pencilled in Trafford Wharf which would be a terrible stadium name as it would sound like a shopping mall.
I'm fine with whatever the feck naming they come up with. Taking on the least amount of debt is what matters for the club's health overall.
That’s fitting for the football we play now
As long as the Glazers don’t need to pay a single cent, they’re all for it.
Will it be called New Trafford?
No. Old Trafford is the name of the area that the stadium is in.
Every seat has a picture of Trump on it and when you sit down a built in sensor triggers a random, and obviously hilarious, fart noise
100k capacity please SJR.
Old Odsal too.
And Ibrox as well.
I should have remembered that one given the number of times I've been there to watch the speedway!
Indeed, so that's 5 over 100K and I've been to them all although they didn't all have 100K when I was there, I'm not that old!
