That's awesome, they can now easily move to 3/4 of the ground 'complete'. Probably takes it to, what 56,000 or so? Obviously the listed buildings behind remain the challenge.
Also, if we put safe standing in, i think you can fit more seats/people in than normal which will obviously increase capacity aswell. You'd like to think we could reach 60k at some point.
Don't want the ground extended. **** that. Let them make a fan zone. Was stressful enough getting tickets today without even more clambering for them in the future
The original pans that Shepherd had were for an increase of 8000 to the Gallowgate end utilising Strawberry Place or part of it, however with newer construction materials and methods it may be that the East Stand should be demolished and rebuilt as well, which would increase capacity as well and could include safe standing areas.
If demolition and rebuild comes into it, then I guess it would also come down to when to do it and how long it all takes. The owners will have to weigh up short term disruption and immediate impact on match day revenue, vs longer term benefits. Our main problem is lack of revenue right now, but there's no magic wand, so might just have to take a short term hit to be able to make real step change.
They should ask Qatar if they can borrow some of their Bangladeshi construction workers from the World Cup. They will work 18hr days.
Of course. Safety equipment comprises a pair of flip flops and motor cycle helmet and any injured just get added to the foundations. They could probably have it done over the Summer at the cost of a Jacob Murphy.
Let's see how many Man united fans are all of a sudden Happy with oil money. Let's see how long the Premier league takes to let this go through
His opening line "Linked with the Qatari royal family..." Soooo.... the PL will have to say no then, right? That was supposedly the only legit reason for holding up our take over.
It'll go through in 10 minutes flat and there won't be much noise about human rights either. Hopefully they buy leeds instead.. the Saudis already pulled their pants down and bought the toon instead. Ironically the only reason they'd buy man united is sportswashing where as newcastle was a business opportunity.
