Season tickets must be up for renewal soon
Those leaky roofs have left permanent damage
#mufc are considering three options for the redevelopment of Old Trafford:
• Knock down Old Trafford and rebuild it from scratch
• Rebuild & extend South Stand
• Leave stadium structurally intact but conduct a revamp of spectator and corporate areas

2 or 3 allows you to keep the history and feel of OT.
Arsenal lost something when they left Highbury.
I’d much rather we rebuilt the team instead of the stadium
How would option 1 work? Where could we play in the meantime?
Raze it to the ground, and build an 90,000 capacity stadium. With a giant kickoff LCD screen, and a roof!!
The atmosphere is great at OT. But we have to build one where the sound echos and intimidates opponents.

Stamford Bridge might be free for a couple years….
But yes, that’s a big issue, where to play..
I guarantee you it would be somewhere stupid like Wembley.
Building an entire stadium costs coin though, I doubt they'd want too spend that much.
Not too many options to go up north if we were to do a whole rebuild...Etihad? St James Park?

Well now, here’s what I’m hoping. We all know the Glazers don’t plan well for the teams on field success.
But, they know the importance of what a Stadium means.
They have a great stadium in Florida. And will constantly be in the running to host Superbowls.
I actually trust the Glazers to do something great on this side of things, if they got the go ahead.
Also, I think it would be a bit different to Arsenal moving from Highbury as I'd imagine Old Trafford would be rebuilt in the same open space but away from the train tracks to allow for the full works.
The Emirates has a very different feel and setting than Highbury because it isn't set amoungst an area of terraced houses and has a lot of space around it (like most modern day stadiums as well as Old Trafford). I think Anfield or Goodison would have more of an issue similar to moving away from Highbury.
It would be more like the rebuild of Wembley than Arsenal moving from Highbury to the Emirates.
More importantly…. It won’t be called Old Trafford anymore. I mean I hope it does remain. But that was one thing Ed wouldn’t budge on and sell.
But that’s a lot of money left on the table…..
If it's on the same bit of land I'd imagine it would still be called Old Trafford like Wembley stadium still is. It may however be sponsored like 'The Emirates' is, which obviously isn't it's real name, it's just that it's been sponsored since it began.

I have the same feeling unfortunately
After the debacle of the Euro Super League, Joel Glazer promised a major redevelopment as his way of saying sorry to the fans.
To be fair, the Carrington re-development is also well under way. The builders - who also brought the Spurs, Pool and Leicester’s training facilities up to “state-of-the-art” - are also saying a small additional stadium there for Women’s & Academy games.
Perhaps our new home for three years?
Just upgrade the place, it’s becoming a bad advert for Utd, lots to be fixed.
Id be happy if the TVs worked more often than not and they gave me an alternative to carling.

Water on the brain?
I can see it happening. The stadium is in a bad bad way.
Play a season at Wembley and allow season ticket holders the opportunity to defer their ticket for a year if they choose to.
I honestly don't think redeveloping the South Stand would make good financial sense. It's just delaying the inevitable.

Absolutely it would be Wembley. We've probably got more fans in the South of England than Chelsea have and we are situated 200miles north. I don't think we'd get bad crowds really for a lot of the games.
I'd defer my ticket for the season most likely. I wouldn't do a 400mile round trip.
Could happen.
