Let's hope they follow the shining example of Barcelona.Another large issue they will have is how to deal with the ramifications of having a significantly reduced attendance.
1. massive drop in revenue, unless they end up at Wembley.
2. Paying rent for whereever they end up
3. Disruption to how fans plan travel to games.
4. Dealing with season ticket holders - who decides who gets a ticket in the reduced capacity, with its additional obvious Reduction of season ticket revenue.
I’m struggling to see how they can do any change from what they have now, without a 1bn+purchase cost investment in a new ground on an entirely new site (where?).
We could pay an Independent Production company to do it and broadcast on “Dave”, it wouldn’t have the same traction but it would be embarrassing for the red shirts.I specifically logged in tonight instead of lurking to 'like' this, absolutely superb, can't wait to watch the Documentary in the near future, if and I mean a big if Panorama have got the balls to do it...
Thought the plan was a new stadium on land (they don't own all of) next to the swamp which would allow them to carry on were they are with the leveling up chaps building a Wembley of the North next door the rags can rent for 30 bob a week whilst selling the swamp and pocketing the cash.Another large issue they will have is how to deal with the ramifications of having a significantly reduced attendance.

They’d nick the milk out of your cup of teaThat's right. The bastards will nick your stamp collection.
Nearly right , they will use old site for frackingThought the plan was a new stadium on land (they don't own all of) next to the swamp which would allow them to carry on were they are with the leveling up chaps building a Wembley of the North next door the rags can rent for 30 bob a week whilst selling the swamp and pocketing the cash.

I work in Trafford Park about 10 minutes walk from The Swamp and between the stadium and where I am there is - somewhat worryingly - a fair bit of unused land. There's also a huge chunk of land owned by them right opposite our works that is currently used for match-day parking. I think they could conceivably slap a new stadium on there and while that's being built they could keep playing at The Swamp. I suppose it all depends on how much they're prepared to spend but that would seem to be the most realistic and least disruptive option.Another large issue they will have is how to deal with the ramifications of having a significantly reduced attendance.
