Exclamation Once the country's best stadium, tired Old Trafford is now secretly showing its age

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/...w-showing-age/

As the cross-town rivals go head to head at the top of the Premier League, in a match that will have a huge bearing on the direction of the title, updates from the match will spin round the globe. Or at least they would if the WiFi in the Old Trafford press box actually worked.

Everywhere corporate revenues are increasing from adventurous new facilities like City’s Tunnel Club. Meanwhile, United’s premium offer remains as it has for the past 10 years: steak, chips and a pre-match live appearance by Clayton Blackmore.

The lack of investment is indicative. At Old Trafford, under the Glazer ownership, everything is focussed on the present not the future. All initiatives are concentrated on upping the revenues from global corporate partnerships in order to pare down the debt. These are not owners interested in investing. After all, they have not put a penny of their own money into the club, preferring to use others’ cash to pay off the cost of buying the place. Blessed with taking on a property that was then the market leader, they have sat back and done nothing to keep it ahead of the game.

Having visited OT and the Council House it's fair to say that OT remains vastly superior

Fair point about the @#%&!ish owners and their view on investment though.

Yes, because no wi-fi in the press box is everything to do with it being a 'tired old stadium' and £#%&! all to do with whoever runs IT there being incompetant.

Horseshit article.

No WiFi in the press box sounds more like a Fergie commandment than an IT oversight... I bet he still gets a laugh out of it every home match just imagining the boiled piss over it

In fairness, speaking of the IT side of things, United must have one of the worst Official Club websites on the internet. It's hardly changed since about 1998 ffs.
