Old Trafford to be bigger than Wembley??

Or CITYS

Very nice ground is city's. Would love to get drawn there in a cup...

The big question is whether there are really 95,000 morons who would pay £50 to see Man U run out comfortable victors over the likes of Wigan or Bolton. I fear I know the answer to this question, but it really makes me wonder whether there's a lot of people who wouldn't be better served strolling down the road and seeing a real competitive match of football at Rochdale or Bury.

..or Stockport.

If a few people ventured to see their local team instead of being glory-hunters then Stockport wouldn't be in the trouble they are.

In a perfect world yes, but the fact that our two decent crowds for the season (stockport and man city) were both games when there was a hint of "glory" in the air.
I just think its that us football fans are too fickle these days.

Old Trafford was a bit of a let down for me.

Don't worry, you won't be going back anytime soon.

I suppose they know what the ticket demands are and if they can fill it and have a lot of people wanting tickets in the current climate they probably will shift them.

Does anyone know if Barcelona sell out every week?

Might be back there before you though

I read once that when they rebuilt Old Trafford they put in completely over-specified foundations - and that makes it easier for them to build upwards. That may be building-bollocks - but it seemed plausable at the time.

And a great stadium. Of course other stadiums are more aesthetic - they were built from scratch - this is a traditional stadium expanded for the modern age.

So on completion Falmer will be pretty much a fifth the size of the revamped Old Truffle! (as well as a third the size of Arsenal and the new Spurs ground) Now who says our board don't have ambition for us to be competitive in the Premiership one day?

Flaming, I await thee!

I hope I live to see the day when we have to extend Falmer so that the railway line and the A27 have to run under the stand!

I'd rather they extended over the duck pond.

Nothing of any consequence lives there anyway.

Shame I didn't start this thread really. What, with Wembley being out second home 'n all.
