Can't for one second think that the club would even consider it as there would be a huge backlash from our fans and we don't need the money. Why would we help those cunts out to improve their infrastructure and future revenue?
 
Apologies if I've unintentionally ruffled a few blue feathers. I only posted about it as United fans are discussing it and think there is a possibility it could happen. Like everyone else I would be against the idea of United sharing the Etihad, even if it was for a few years whilst a new stadium is built, if that ever happens?

Slightly off topic.

There’s a thread on SSC-MCR titled Manchester United (Old Trafford) | Framework.

Most if not all of the posters posting on the thread are United fans. (some of them are getting a bit giddy about the idea of a new stadium)

It’s mainly about Old Trafford, the stadium, and whether is should be redeveloped or whether it should be demolished and a new stadium built close by. (now Ratcliffe has bought 1/4 of United from the Glazers)

Recently the conversation has gone on to City allowing United to use/share the Etihad whilst a new stadium is built on the current Old Trafford site or close to the Old Trafford site/footprint.

A redeveloped 62,000 capacity Etihad, including a hotel, 3000 capacity fanzone, etc, and what it will have to offer United and their fans is a very tempting proposition for United and something they would be interested in, if they could ‘agree a deal with City’, MCC, and Sports England to use the Etihad stadium for 2-3 seasons whilst a new stadium is built.

Would City be interested in letting United share and use the Etihad knowing the additional rental and match day revenue it would generate for City could run into £100’s millions over 2-3 seasons.

There is a valid argument a new stadium will never be built because the Glazers and Ratcliffe will not fund it, instead they would rather redevelop Old Trafford piecemeal.

Trying to put my blue allegiances aside, and the fact that I used to post on SSC-MCR, I would be totally against the idea for various reasons.

What are your views on the matter?( try and keep it civil ;-) )

The last 2 posts on the thread atm.

It’s A Muffin (post)

City lent them their stadium before and United repaid them by allowing a banner mocking City's lack of success. I doubt the Etihad is an option unless it's extremely lucrative and Everton is probably too far.

I think City will be leaned on by the Premier League, the Police and the council. Authorities may look less favourably with regards to concerts etc. if City refuse, which they won't as they will be compensated. In the days when City last lent Utd Maine Rd, fans generally followed both teams.

Do City get a say, especially with the council owning the stadium?
 
They can ask but 99.9 % of fans would be against it,if they are eventually building a new stadium they can use Burnley or blackburn‘s or Stockport‘s grounds instead or maybe they could ask Neville and use Salford’s..

I do get a "please like us" feeling from our owners/board sometimes, especially the way the appeased Liverpool with that email and the hush hush after the girl got her head done in.

If they really do think that it is bloody obvious that they are totally wasting their time.

Fuck all chance of anything positive towards City coming from those total cunts .

I agree, the one thing I can't knock about the dippers is how they back their 'supporters'

They went scorched earth on uefa after Paris and got their supporters some money back.

Ours on the other hand brushed it under the carpet it seems, as not to rock the boat with ceferin.

That's how it looks to me personally

the 'calming the waters' meeting between city and liverpool after that incident started with Citys head of security apologising to the liverpool club and fans representatives for a disabled liverpool fan apparently suffering verbal abuse from city fans

Key word there is 'apparently'. I never saw or heard an ounce of evidence about said verbal abuse. But the girl getting clocked with the collection pot for the coach driver was there for all to see.

Did a member of the Liverpool delegation apologise to her for that (genuine question, I don't know)

Apologies for taking this off topic, but it is what it is, we're not the type of fanbase to kick down the doors to club and ask them what they're playing at (with the exception of the super league announcement)
