UEFA reopens bidding for the 2027 Champions League Final

Really? maybe if you cleared all the cars out of the way.....

Agree. We’re getting there with the introduction of all the double yellows. Just need to extend that to a 20 mile radius around the ground. Job done!

Very good stadium it is but its location is poor for public transport. The Overground connections are very patchy.

wtf has transportation for to do with it, they never bothered in Istanbul about it, just the brown envelopes.

Perhaps we should have gone for a Philadelphia/new york style over ground rail system. (I know it was never going to happen) But it solves the traffic issue.

Knock down old Trafford, rebuild it with billions of pounds of taxpayers money and hold it there, the new Wembley of the North.







I can just see scruffy Jim's eyes lighting up at the prospect. In reality the billions would go straight into his and the glazers back pockets, the new stadium would never get finished because of cut backs and belt tightening and the whole thing would be a disaster.


So in hindsight, just do phase 1- knock down old Trafford and call it a job well done

Sounds like a plan.....

Rather go to New York than Baku or Istanbul.

So would I but the cost would be extortionate, reckon it'll be around £4K for 3 nights including flights/tickets/accommodation and spending money and that's if you get the flight booked early.

These sort of things are once in a lifetime things like going to a World Cup. Football has become truly global now. There are many things i dislike, such as ticket prices but i have done a lifetime with City and I am still hopelessly addicted to the club and try to see as many matches as possible home and away. it wouldn't bother me if the Community Shield was played abroad for example.

I agree. We can offer a world class Metrolink service and a bus service to rival the world. If thats not your bag then how about a walk to/from the stadium next to a canal .

Anyone getting a mental image of Gene Hackman bombing down there at 100mph?

Thirty thousand more seats at Wembley and far better transport links.

What makes you think UEFA would be concerned about transport links?

Nothing, but they'll say they are to get 30,000 more bums on seats. Sorry, I mean 30,000 more ticket sales.
