I was just gonna post that. Good news. According to the Torygraph, the deal bypasses Freightliner site behind the Stretford end. So presumably they couldn't find a deal but figured out a way around.

I’m dreading leaving. I hope it’s a proper football ground that we move into, not one of these shit entertainment venues that sometimes hosts football like Tottenham. I fear that is exactly what it will be and I fear that I’ll hate everything about the place because I love everything about Old Trafford.
Whilst my heart agrees with you, I think the world has changed. Football has never been as broad a church as it is now and the thing that makes money is having hubs of entertainment.nineteenninetynine wrote: ↑2 months ago I’m dreading leaving.

TBF I feel like a twat moaning too much because I've not been to OT since 2014 and I doubt I'll ever go again unless one of my kids suddenly get into football and care more about United than whatever German team they pick.
I'll be sad to see Old Trafford go but as George Harrison said "all things must pass".

I share your fears. Anything like the London stadium would be a disaster and nudge me further away from United and football.nineteenninetynine wrote: ↑2 months ago I’m dreading leaving.

With Old Trafford, I'm not sure it can be saved. A lot of that post war concrete has a 50 year life span. They can patch it up, like they do the schools and hospitals in the UK cos apparently the country is bankrupt, but ultimately a new one is gonna have to be built. It just needs to be good.
Always bankrupt when it's schools and hospitals. Always money for infrastructure around luxury flats.Fuck the Glazers wrote: ↑2 months agoI share your fears.

Let's see what Burnham does. Short answer: fuck all.

They're total shitblokes. This will get worse with the new stadium. A new ground means a clean slate and new rules. History is forgotten including the family that held the same seat for 30 years.JoelfuckingGlazer wrote: ↑1 month ago This fucking stinks

100% this. It’s fucking tragic too. The club I fell in love with is gone.JoelfuckingGlazer wrote: ↑2 months ago Not even sure I'm arsed. The club i grew up and fell in Love with doesn't exist any more.
