Was obviously joking about the council house but I'd still say rather than £#%&! about with the line and houses at he rear just build a new one on the land Utd own at the rear of the SE
Most top clubs in Europe have or are going to have modern stadia.

Just build an 100k stadium with safe srtanding and have done with it

Still wouldn't make it as good as Spurs' new ground anyway, which features a climbing wall.

Upgrade on Heysel I guess.

It looks absolutely awful and is neither a modern high tech stadium or an old stadium with charm.

The transport links are awful and the facilities are shit compared to most other grounds.

Tear it down and start again.

Absolute nonsense as per from Lokkers.

Much rather what we have than the new identikit stadiums that have popped up in recent years, zero history or charm. £#%&! that. Looks awful

Transport links are fine, close to two major roads, motorway not far away, tram stops, train stops. No major issues on any matchday tbh. What facilities do you want you tart? Maybe a tunnel club? £#%&! off.

What's charming about that?

It's an absolute mess. They built the North stand and then went with a different look for the ends and finally shoved in the quadrants and each one has a distinctly different look.

There are many examples of modern stadiums that don't follow the Emirates look. Look at that new Mercedes stadium in the US. We're one of the biggest sports teams (if not the biggest) in the world. Why aren't we playing in a stadium like that?

Typical Draggers, can only look at things from his PoV and can't comprehend the bigger picture.

Given the money invested in the stadium over the last 15 years it would seem very wasteful, both in money and resources, to tear it all down. If a new stand is possible then build it. If not then get some use out of what we have and build a new stadium when things actually need renewing.

Plenty tbh.

Bigger picture ffs

Spot the odd one out:

Half of those haven't even been built

All are built apart from 2 which are in progress.

OT looks good when full. Its a shitbox when empty.

It's not what's on the outside, it's what's on the inside that counts

Don't you think draggers is upset enough.

The first two. Leading examples. You even used an idealised artist's impression for Atléti's despite it actually now being finished.

Old Trafford isn't perfect by a long shot but its not being a McStadium is a good thing. And we've got bigger priorities than the external aesthetics.

A billion quid for some external fairy lights

Who do you think is going to pay for that ? The gimps ?

Nobody mentioning the elephant in the room that it's located in the wrong city?

No chance of a new stadium PES are paying the glazers a fortune to retain the traditional brick structure

Yep move to a new stadium for some lights and external aesthetics. Nothing more to consider.
