North Stand Construction Discussion

[dickie davies]

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.”

So they made a strong case for OT to be used but couldn't guarantee that it would be available!

Exactly.

Why not just say we can’t guarantee Old Trafford will be available, so we’re not putting Old Trafford forward.

All the potential buyers and investors have had commit to investing into the ground as part of their bids.

Surely the Glazers just want the largest bid. They are not going except a smaller bid because somebody won't agree to buy some paint for the swamp.

Lot of nonsense in that article UEFA use lots of stadiums with sponsors names they just refer to it as the original name
Manchester's option was The CoM Stadium aka Etihad
Trafford's option was Old Trafford aka Old Toilet

As far as UEFA are concerned OT is in Trafford and that was displayed on when the Women's tournament was played there

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

Class that

They knew the ground was unavailable & unsuitable.

Spent money preparing and submitting a bid which was thrown out cos its a leaking,piss soaked,rat infested shit hole of antiquity.

Hope that clears up the misinformation from the ministry of lies.
