Andy Burnham | Manchester Mayor

Be interesting what detail they have.

Assuming United will still have to foot the bill for the stadium.

A petition might not get too much traction at this point, but something should be said.

City and MCC did threaten a CPO on the Rag who owned a business on part of what is now the CFA.

The Rag wanted to sell off parcels of his land to fellow United fans to halt or to slow down the CFA development. In the end the Rag backed down and took the offer to avoid the CPO.

Manchester City could be brought before a public inquiry this spring as part of a dispute with landowners who are blocking their plans for a training ground opposite the Etihad Stadium. The M.E.N. can reveal that town hall chiefs are preparing to move forward with a compulsory purchase order bid, before the summer, to help push through the plans if agreements cannot be reached with the two businesses standing in the Blues’ way.​

I don't have to read the article, I remember it very well
City's offer was far more than the land was worth, and he would have brand new premises
In the end he was told it would be a CPO at the actual value, so he capitulated

But 90% of that land that the CFA sits on was hazardous

Doesn't the actual down south Wembley have all the big game contracts tied up for decades to come?

Yes. They aren’t gong to give United their money. Maybe if it’s 2 Northern teams in the FA Cup semi-final? Obviously not United,
 
However the mop flops with all of this, I think some of you on here are being a tad tribal in your views, if I may say!

I mean, I'm looking forward to seeing this economic model replicated throughout the country to enable the regeneration of so many parts of our green and pleasant land!

Think how lovely might it be to visit the 'Wembley of Cleethorpes' should we draw Grimsby Town in the FA Cup? And what about a trip down to the 'Devon Wembley' for a League Cup tie with Plymouth Argyle? And so on and on from the new 'Wembley at Colchester' up to the 'Cumbrian Wembley' at Carlisle via the 'Burton Albion Wembley'?

Further, think of the boost to the mental well-being of a those squads up and down the country, stepping into a 100000 capacity stadium each week, teeming with up to 12000 fans picking and choosing their seats with no problem at all!

And that's not to mention the hundreds of thousands of jobs surely to be created by these incredible boosts to local economies!

Mark my words, it could be winners and trebles all round..!

I was linking it for other posters. :-)

I know, I took pictures of the land before the start of the build. And all the way through the build.

Another lie. According to the United consortium press release, the new stadium and investment around the ground will create 90,000 employment opportunities. Think about that, 90,000. Will it fuck!

Meanwhile the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force has claimed that their plans would provide more than 90,000 employment opportunities.

90,000 more fucking Uber drivers and daft food delivery on those huge bikes!

The site where the Etihad campus was built was occupied by multiple businesses. It wasn't land that no-one wanted. They went to court to fight for it.

MAJORITY OF THE LAND
And the club offered and paid far more for the land where the business' were than it was valued at
But those owners being greedy wanted even more

This twunt is saying no tax payer money will be used for the stadium, yet United can't build the stadium unless the public stumps up to move the freight line alongside Old Toilet.

Every feasibility study United have conducted over the last decade has stated the train tracks and building over them was the major cost.

Said twunt also fails to mention the £500m and rising bill for a Town Hall makeover which has taken four years so far.

Ask him where Vinny's £3m for the Manchester homeless went to, because I see nothing?
