North Stand Construction Discussion

Under no circumstances is a Rag sitting in my seat. Over my dead body.
I HATE everything to do with that football club, it’s fans, players, badge, colour, the fact that they agreed to have a banner taking the piss makes it even worse. They ruined my childhood.
I still have never bought anything from Sharp and try my best never to wear anything red or Adidas.
Imagine being in the away end for the Rags away at the Etihad.
No,no, no, no, no, no, no, no, let these motherfuckers go to their cousins Salford City or the turncoats FC United
We’ve helped them once and they spat in our faces.
These c*nts can sort it out themselves.
I would refuse to go to the Etihad while sharing with these.

Edit : on a side note.
A friend who lives in a council house in Broadheath (Trafford) wanted to move to a council house in Blackley (North Manchester) to live nearer to his daughter

His application was declined and he was unable to go onto the housing list by Manchester Council due to living in Trafford, rules are that you are only eligible to move around Manchester if you already live in Manchester

So if the Rags want to rent anywhere, will have to be around Trafford

What’s good enough for us civillians is good enough for them Rag B@stards

So shall we put you down as an ‘undecided’?

Talk about sitting on the fence…
 
Looking forward to the extra seats it could it could be a problem for the the mass exodus on 75 minutes though an extra couple of thousand making for the trams,buses and car parks will hinder the quick getaway. If they bring forward the fire drill to 60 minutes it should solve problem or maybe bugger off at half time to make certain.

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.

Issac Newell (reply)

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.

Would never want them using our stadium.

Number 2 on the planning statement is a car park as noted above @Coatigan , have you saw plans that note something different as this was noted in the planning statement
 
I hope we all like the new North stand as much as we all liked the Gene Kelly (singing in the rain) stand?

Nipping over to the East Manchester later on. If the rain holds off I’ll take some pictures.
