North Stand Construction Discussion

Spin or the truth?

WHAT THEY SAID: “Manchester United were pleased to put Old Trafford forward as a potential host of Uefa Euro 2028 matches and proud of the strong case we made.

“However, during follow-up discussions with the FA, it became clear that we were unable to provide the necessary certainty around the availability of Old Trafford due to potential redevelopment of the stadium. As a result, we have mutually agreed to withdraw from the shortlist of potential hosts.

“We are committed to maintaining Old Trafford’s status as the largest and most iconic club football ground in England and look forward to future opportunities to host international matches and major events at ‘the Theatre of Dreams’.

“Everyone at Manchester United wishes the FA the best of luck with the bid to host the tournament in 2028.”

How do utds owners know that the new owners are going to up grade the dump ?
 
If we do get NSL2 and the club hopefully do away with the Electronic flags, what are peoples thoughts on one banner across the front of NSL2, for example NORTH STAND - MANCHESTER or individual banners similar to the ones that used to be hung from SSL2?

Milan - Curva South - Milan (note: corporate at the back ;-) )

TBF, it’s done it’s job, regardless of it’s size. The atmosphere has improved at Old Toilet.

And TBH, I’d love it if we could get 1500 singers together in adjacent blocks.

Let’s see how many singers we can get together in the expanded North stand first before taking the piss out if United’s well organised and well run singing section.
You are fucking joking !!

I read it as...
"Following discussions with the FA it became clear they would not finance the revamp, so we have mutually agreed to withdraw.

We are committed to maintaining Old Trafford’s status as the largest but not in any way best club football ground in England.

We hope their bid fails miserably"
 
All the potential buyers and investors have had commit to investing into the ground as part of their bids.
Just a few tins of red paint and some stronger urinal cakes for the water feature under the stands then and they should be good to go, scruffy tramps
 
I think only Leeds and maybe Newcastle have 2 proper singing ends at each end of their grounds in the PL. We’ll be the 3rd in 3 years time, hopefully.
Can't forget wolves, I think that's a prime example of how two ends can assist each other to make the overall atmosphere better
 
Will say it for the umpteenth time, copy this chant change River Plate to Man City,
Starts of good, goes proper full on after about 25 seconds in. Other Argentinian barras bravas are available, but can frankly jog on, especially Los Bosteros

European ultra's, with their megaphones, robot chants and nob head capo's, bobbins compared to this lot



As you can see most of the ground join in

Yes, when the two end stands were single tiers. When Wolves redeveloped one end and changed it from a sing le tier, like the remaining single tier stand behind the goal, into a double tier stand, the double tier stand is now a lot quieter.
