We should do this with the south stand, have the railway running under the scaffolding...

Nobody said anything about moving. Just re-building.

The whole ground has been rebuilt over the last 20 years and is unrecognisable from what it looked like pre-Euro96. Unfortunately they messed it up.

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.
Rustlers Stadium more like

£#%&! off about knock it down

One of the few grounds left in this country with a bit of history and character.

Ask arsenal fans if they prefer the emirates to highbury.

I'd hate United to play in one of these identikit stadiums, just another wembley or etihad. £#%&! that.

You move ground when you want to improve or expand and your current ground lacks the scope to achieve what you need.

What you don't do is throw away a century of history just because some spotty gimp has seen another ground with some funky architectural details and said "want that one"

Unbelievable.

Smash it and rebuild as a standard glass and metal photocopy. Ask city if we can use the etihad while it's under construction.

It's like this bridge.



There's a out 6 copies of this £#%&!ing bridge around the world. It's an Ikea bridge.

Those are fancy Ikea stadiums

That's the most 'american' £#%&!ing stadium i've ever seen. An utter monstrosity.

It's like they let Michael Bay design it. Does it transform into a giant robot?

Nailed it. Mid op transformers origami building. Inside is probably no different from dozens of newly refurbished airports.
