Sir Jim Ratcliffe's plans for a new Old Trafford. Certainly make travelling to Play Off finals a little lighter on the purse!
Don’t suppose Wembley would be to pleased about it though. Levelling upSir Jim Ratcliffe's plans for a new Old Trafford. Certainly make travelling to Play Off finals a little lighter on the purse!
That debt is nearly paid off. It was due to be paid off this year...Sooty59 beat me to it a bit.
The FA owe squillions on Wembley, which is why they play as many big matches as possible there, and tout it out all over the world.
I'm sure they'll be delighted to see another state-of-the-art 20 years newer stadium built, following on from Tottenham's, which the NFL have already chosen to use ahead of Wembley.
Years, although I like yards.I like the idea of a National Stadium of the North.
The presumption that it should be in Manchester and home to Manchester United for 90% of the time is a little arrogant though.
I'd add that it would be good to have it in Blackpool for all the obvious reasons (so much more to do, enough hotels to accommodate everyone realistically inexpensively)
It would do really well for friendlies too. It's not hard to imagine an Old Firm match being played in such a venue (just as an example).
It'll never happen as we can't even complete a ground 25 yards after starting it.
Yes. History and tradition aside I thought our days out in Cardiff were better.Anything that helps to avoid going anywhere near that awful Wembley Stadium the better!
Was that before or after Nuclear Warfare?Remember when Vale Park was to be the Wembley of the North ?
You’d have to be old to remember that. 1940s?Remember when Vale Park was to be the Wembley of the North ?
