Area around Man Utd's Old Trafford could soon be transformed in huge masterplan

The area surrounding Manchester United's Old Trafford could soon be transformed

www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Get used to it, this is going ahead. Ticks all the boxes, top Tory in charge (Coe), top Tory donor with previous in getting this government to pay for his investment (£600m plastics factory in the EU), opportunity for lots of developers to make lots of money at the public expense. ‘A total of 5,000 new homes, the majority said to be apartments, are also referenced. The document states the area 'can accommodate a large number of tall buildings ,ranging from six storeys to 30 storeys'.’ Note ’apartments’ no mention of social housing so lots of money to be trousered by the Tory donors. It will sail through Parliament, lots of Tory Ministers and MPs will be looking for new jobs soon and everyone else with any clout will be offered a ‘bribe’ sorry ‘incentive’ to pass it through. Burnham and some in the Labour Party (good proportion of rags anyway) will hold this up as a flagship investment as to what a Labour council can do. Lots of ‘transform‘ and ‘regenerate’ buzz words.

Scruffy Jim is not stupid his £1.2bn will be a good investment as he, and the Glazers, will make a small fortune out of it; paid for by you and I.

This will happen.

Tend to agree with you Fred :-(
My concern is when they start knocking the shit house down where are the scum going to play ?

It’s not going to be the Etihad.

At the footballing level - the Number of matches can’t be accommodated by the pitch - doubling it’s use is not viable. IMO

And I really can’t see how City could accommodate playing ‘away’ against them. Let alone the trashing of the stadia facilities after each of their games.

The first question from the vice president of America to Seb Coe is about Utd lol

Seb Coe: Lovely to meet you Mr of Mrs vice president - where would you like to start?

Athletics and how it could be used as source of good to reduce gun crime?

He might be a scruffy **** but he’s a billionaire so he knows how to do business…..

Ref the highlighted bit above - I took my wife to the ABBA voyage show a few weeks ago. We stayed in Stratford about a 5 minute walk from what was the Olympic park / Olympic stadium. Stratford certainly doesn’t look like it has benefited much from being the centre of the Olympics not when compared to the impact our owner has had in Manchester

My SHMBO is from Stratford. You could see the Olympic stadium going up from the end of her parents’ road. Her mum was offered a tour of the site as part of a campaign to keep the locals onside, but honestly most were more excited about getting a John Lewis.

Stratford was always a bit edgy but I kinda enjoyed the vibe of the place pre-olympics. It’s changed now, but yeah, away from station you don’t have to go too far before it gets sketchy.

I could get in to the politics of the Olympic site at length but I’ll save you that. EXCEPT, it won’t be long now until Catweazel, Coe and the shill Burnham start on about affordable housing. For anyone interested, look at what happened to the Stratford Olympic village.
