I don’t think so. There’s only two at the minute, and they’ve always been called quadrants from the day they were built.

New stadium for me. Make it to suit, like spurs have done with that big stand behind the net, one tier. Have a huge stretford end safe standing.

Old Trafford being renovated would obviously be best option but I just don’t know how they do it without ripping most of it down, but I’m not an architect.

I literally can’t sit down in a lot of old Trafford at half time, genuinely. Leg room is ridiculous.

And I’ve no idea where we’d play. Whether work can be done in stages whilst the ground remains open, or we have to go to somewhere like Bolton for a couple of years, I don’t know. There’s always a way. If you want to find reasons why we can’t do stuff you’ll find them. I’m more of a ‘no problems only solutions’ sort of dude.

Let’s just wait and see. Interesting to see what they finally go with.
I like this guy. Attitude is bob on.

No technical reason I can think of why we can’t have upwards of 5 or more quadrants - betwixt other quadrants as necessary. Or they can be layered like a cake. We’re only limited by our own imaginations.

The problem is where we’d play. For me, we couldn’t share with city - it would be too much faff changing the blue ketchup back to red every other week and there would be huge animosity. I know we did it in the war but times have changed.

Personally, I’d like to see us play at a ground like Sheffield Wednesdays during the rebuild - great traditional ground, decent size and better for our southern support than traipsing up to Manchester. It would only be 2 or 3 seasons in any case.

I’m coming from a different angle….I’m going for a smaller venue but revenue from ticket sales would be colossal

Hear me out

United v Liverpool…..in the MEN Arena.

Maximum attendance of 18,000, but it’s a full days entertainment

12.30pm….United v Liverpool. Half time entertainment provided by ant n dec

2.30pm…..bantz-a -thon with Neville, carragher and Kelly dalglish trotting out tired old cliches about Jan molby being fat

4pm….Michael McIntyre pretends he likes football and recounts hilarious anecdotes about missing the kick off of a chelsea game due to his daughters ballet class running late

6pm….Ed sheeran and Mumford & Sons round off a top day of entertainment



Tickets start at 5k

This could work

I’d like to see Michael McIntyre do a q&a with Tony O’Neil in the 4pm slot or maybe after the concert after younger members of the audience have left.

Hooky would sell us the rights to build a replica Hacienda for a couple of billion.

The only sensible answer is to do what’s necessary to keep us at the head of track until it becomes not feasible. The PL have redistributed funds so that also rans like Spurs, arse etc are competing with us when they have never had the means, coupled with the glazer effect.. Chelsea, Ciddy given the green light to take the piss with gangsters collude its local councils etc . We should be leaving Real Madrid in our dust

Civil engineers, not architects. Pencil ponces can draw what they want but that don't mean it can be built.

City ground share was post war, not during. The league was suspended in 1939 as all the men folk were a bit busy elsewhere.

Erm no. Civil Engineers are not designers.

An architect would need to plan and design the renovation.

All he needs to do is to pay for the leaky roof to be fixed & tbh we all know how much upheavel would be involved in having to wait for a new ground to be built & my biggest fear is that a shiney new ground may inspire our opponnents far more than it inspires United & when we also factor-in that every game will still be treated as some sort of Cup Final by the opposition, we have to ask ourselves if it would all be more hassle than it's worth?
