Yeah, filled it in.

Would say it`s only the same old lip service from the club.
We will see.

Seemed pretty in depth.
The main thing that stuck out to me was if Old Trafford couldn't be redeveloped into a state of an art stadium would I support a new stadium being built on the same site? Seems to me that this could be in the offing. If they could redevelop it along the lines of what Madrid and Barca are doing I would 100% prefer that. If it did have to be built from scratch its imperative that it's still at the same site. That's just my opinion.

Yeah i could live with a new stadium as long as it`s on the same site but i assume that they would build a bigger capacity stadium, therefore i`m sure they would increase ticket prices which only favours the tourists and day trippers.

Not going to happen but i would like a big area designated only for youngsters and teenagers , pay on the gate even with a cheap admission price, OT needs to become affordable again for local youngsters.
Old Trafford needs livening up, the average age of are season ticket holders is 55

Agree with every word and I’ve been saying the same for decades. We all used to be able to pay on the gate and stand where we wanted (as long as you got there at 1:30) so the stretty was always full of kids and teenagers. It’s literally the life blood of our support.

We’ve had a lazy clueless policy for years which actively discouraged local and young fans which is nothing short of a disgrace. Hopefully the youth cup final last season. will make them wake up. Otherwise, it’s a slow death.

I didn’t receive any email I don’t think

Got it but not been through it yet. If they are moving the bulldozers in does it specify if it is the stadium only or does it include the team?

So the etihad for a season while they rebuilt?

I'd vote redevelopment. It's much more challenging to do but "Old Trafford" is a big brand in its own right.

Think there will be enough space to build a new stadium on the car park / Ticket office without knocking OT down first. Still think they'll go for the cheapest option myself.

The club is the ongoing legend of the unfinished work of the babes.

Every trophy since, especially big ears.

Leave the spot they played on? Nah.

This isn’t having a pop but I think this kind of sentimentality will die with age. Personally having watched them from the late 70’s onwards, this wouldn’t really concern me. I suspect later generations even more so.

100%. One of the worst things about the PL / no standing was the loss of the Club's youth support due to being priced out / advanced purchase etc. I went to the Youth Cup final and you could see how much it meant to be able to go to a game. I wonder what percentage at a home game are teenagers.

I'm very sceptical myself but it's the hope that kills you
What I wouldn't give for a fully refurbished 90k+ OT.

This.

How would we realistically finance a new stadium on top of the debt?

We’ll end up getting £3 hot dogs.

Filled it in. Mainly went on about making it a bit more modern with improving atmosphere and stands.

Sseemed like they’ll push some sort of permanent fan zone. ngl , I didn’t care for much of that. Just knock it down and rebuild it up . They asked about the standing section too which I think will be a good addition

(Or it’s a tick box exercise for them so they can say they reached out to fans and naturally give it a paint job and £#%&! all)

I mean if they REALLY wanted to the club is big enough and operates financially enough to take a big loan out. It’s possible , whether they do it or not is another matter. But I can be done.

500-–600 million should do it. Paying back 20 million a year etc etc
