Rag estimation technique when working out fans count...
Chelsea Jim claimed it was 1 billion the other day!

But anyway, I'm not convinced that a hat-trick incorporating two penalties could be described as a "blistering hat-trick strike" but then I'm not The Grauniad's Jamie Jackson.

I know how they did that - they asked 8 randomers in china if they'd heard of the rags - 1 said yes - and they simply scaled it up to the 8 billion world population and claimed 1 billion fans...
 
I'll guarantee someone will back it before it's built. Don't underestimate the amount of hype around this build. You could sell naming rights right now. A big company would pay good money to have their name on this on every article - they could sell naming rights to stands as well. You can see it now on the BBC, Sky Sports, The Grauniad, The Wall Street Journal, The Shanghai Daily News:

The AT&T Stadium will begin the foundation work in April 2026 and the first stand 'The Smiths Are Shit South Stand' will be started in July 2026 followed by 'The Elon to Mars Stand', then 'The Findus Fish Fingers Stand' and lastly 'The Morocco Why Did You Steal Our Design Stand'.

This stuff writes itself. They'll sell everything.
Isn't 'The Findus Fish Fingers Stand' at Grimsby?
I would gladly sit in 'The Smiths Are Shit South Stand'!
 
Some thoughts about Man United's stadium project. It will cost more than they think . It will take longer than 5 years. They will struggle to fill it. The finance costs will prevent them from buying top talent. It could be the end of them financially. Reasons to be cheerful
Happy days!
 
The 659m fans was extrapolated from a figure of 11.5k. I put the figures and how they were calculated (from utd's accounts) on here many moons ago. By their reckonings I'm also a fan of them. So is everyone on this site.
Funnily enough, by their reckoning, we have exactly as many fans as they do. Keep that quiet however.
Rag.

They are careful to call them followers, not fans.
They let their fans and the press change that to fans.
