Bit of an exaggeration possibly. A piece on why OT has atrophied: a metaphor for the club, maybe? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...t-stadium-tired-old-trafford-now-showing-age/
Yeah, I read that and it is exaggerated. Some of it is valid though. What they need to do is find a way/staff who can actually serve you with a beer during half time, instead of still being stood in a non moving queue five ****ing minutes into the second half. It's no wonder people scarper five minutes before half time, nothing to do with eating prawn sandwiches and everything to do with the ****e 'catering' staff they use to provide the non service there.
No idea. He's obviously got an axe to grind because he couldn't get WiFi! No doubt wanted to post an Old Trafford selfie on Facebook. It's a bit rich referencing City, who were given a brand new stadium to do what they wanted with and is upgraded by an oil rich country.
It’s amazing how so many clubs are yet to have the idea to start pouring pints on 40 minutes on the off chance someone might want one in a few minutes.
Aye, I bet in another article there's someone bemoaning City's "tunnel club" and all their other money making gimmicks as having lost touch with the needs of the average fan. After all, is it really a positive thing that the super rich can now pay £7,500 to take pictures of the players through a glass wall? Ah, the people's club. He's also talking a lot of nonsense about the training ground - we spent £25 million on the medical facility a few years back. The only reason no one hears about it is we actually have the blinding insight to keep our training methods a bit secret, rather than shouting them to the world at every opportunity. People with an axe to grind will always find something to grind it on.
OT is my favourite away ground. The corporate entertainment there is as good as anywhere and the atmosphere is electric compared to the soulless bowls like the Emirates. Ok the Bobby Charlton is due a refurb but it's hardly an embarrassment
Aye, investment by the city council. Are you not at all bothered that your billionaire owners won't pay more than £5 million a year to rent a £130m stadium they were basically gifted by the council? Whilst happily pocketing twice that much in naming rights. At a time when MCC are having to make thousands of redundancies due to shortfalls in their budget. People's club my arse.
