@StadiumDB The freight depot alone will scupper these plans. You aren’t buying a house to knock down to build flats on. The entire rail system in the area will have to be redeveloped, a new site for the freeway got depot found, built and infrastructure updated. Stadium won’t happen 🤷🏻♂️

Manchester United’s new 100,000-seat stadium might become the most complicated football construction project in Europe. 🏟️
And the biggest challenge is not the roof, the design or even the £2B cost.
It’s everything underneath the project. 👇
▪️ United still needs crucial land around Old Trafford, especially the Freightliner rail terminal area. Without it, the masterplan changes completely.
▪️ Reports claimed the land valuation gap was massive:
~£40-50M from United’s side vs. up to ~£400M expectations from owners.
▪️ The famous “umbrella” canopy by Foster + Partners?
Still not guaranteed. The public visuals are concept illustrations, not a final construction design.
▪️ The stadium itself may take 5 years to build…
…but preparation before construction could already take 1-2 years:
land deals,
planning,
transport studies,
environmental approvals,
infrastructure,
politics.
▪️ Trafford Council, Greater Manchester authorities and the new Mayoral Development Corporation are all involved.
▪️ A 100,000-seat stadium means:
🚆 rail upgrades
🚋 Metrolink pressure
🚶 massive pedestrian flows
🚓 security planning
🚑 evacuation systems
🚌 transport redesign
🏗️ utility relocation
▪️ United wants to keep playing at Old Trafford during construction, then demolish the current stadium afterwards.
▪️ Construction itself is another giant risk.
Very few contractors in the UK can realistically deliver:
✅ a 100k stadium
✅ huge roof structure
✅ modular prefabrication
✅ construction beside an active stadium
✅ all under huge public pressure
And stadium megaprojects have financially damaged construction firms before.
▪️ Then comes the financial pressure.
United says the stadium itself should be privately funded, while regeneration infrastructure may involve public support.
But the entire vision depends on both working together.
No regeneration = weaker stadium economics.
No stadium = weaker regeneration momentum.
▪️ The club also faces a cultural challenge:
How do you replace Old Trafford without losing what made Old Trafford special?
That may become harder than the engineering itself.
Right now, this is not a “ready-to-build” project.

@PTRK0161 Its not though. It's at end of current life. Its still a great stadium but its no longer World leading and you can't achieve that with the current stadium.

@TheFergusonWay Those thick stripes are used on many adidas new kits. It's not bespoke to United.

Diabolical stripes man...
Adidas is not serious with United at all.

@youngy18 A superb career Ash and credit to you in the way you've adapted your position and game to prolong it.
United fans took you to heart as they knew your commitment to the shirt on and off the pitch and what it meant to be a United player.
English
Right, time to properly sign out ✍🏾
What can I say, it’s the right time for me to hang up my boots and call it a day on my career and what a way to go out, gaining automatic promotion, it was exactly the way I saw it happening and the reason why I signed for the club!

@dipsMUFC Its Carrick you know, hard to believe its not Fergie!

@ImJustDaveJ The league allocations aren't helping non league clubs. The whole system has lost its regional structure.
The FA don't help by constantly allowing new clubs to join at step 6.
Far too many spin off clubs and clubs with no real identity.

Massive shock to see they've resigned from the Counties, went to a few games when I lived in Woodley and always enjoyed them. Gutted for all the volunteers, players and fans.

Meet reform UK's candidate Sarah Davies, or shall we call her Miss Raven UK?
Sarah here, we mean Davies (not @SarahForRuncorn) used to be a financial dominatrix escort. We're talking extorting 'pay pigs for money', that sort of thing. In fact, here's a full menu of services.
Let's be clear, BDSM findom is legal in the UK (so long as it's consensual, both people are of sound mental health and you're paying your taxes), and we're not here to kink shame.
This said, she's campaigning on a platform that doesn't say much about herself (though there's a reference to "Her background in people services").
This also said, we do wonder what Sarah Pochin, and her Christian Fellowship for Reform would make of it.
Today Sarah is standing as @ReformParty_UK's candidate in Bridgewater, Halton. Have your wallets ready (for donations, obviously).
