    I was there towards the end of the season last year and definitely agree it has gotten to a point where it’s dated in areas and needs work.

    My issue though is mainly that I see other clubs of our size globally preserving their history and doing the hard work of saving the ground. It would definitely be expensive but considering our revenue we could afford it. It would just require the Glazers to spend some of their own money

    it’s romanticism but knowing that we’ll be playing on new ground that Ferguson never stood or Charlton never saw really doesn’t sit right with me. When you compare the atmosphere of the Emirates to the Highbury it’s not even close imo. We’re going to lose a significant part of our soul leaving Old Trafford and I’m worried we’ll become further unrecognizable in the coming years

    At least the Glazers get their Disneyland I suppose..

    Agree with almost everything you said, but there’s just no current reality where we renovate OT. Even the Qataris weren’t planning on renovating it, the mess is too big.

    I hear that and understand but when looking at the amount of revenue we’re STILL able to bring in despite our current state and owners not spending any money of their own in the last two decades I’m surprised we can’t find a way. We’re throwing away so much by leaving Old Trafford

    Club revenue 2024:

    The things id do for having Kvara in our team man, what a player

    they stole him for Napoli, no idea how arsenal and liverpool and Chelsea weren't in on him. top 5 player itw for me.

    I would say us too, but we no longer have room in our side for inside forwards, just wing backs -_-

    Completely agree

    Ratcliffe got asked about things that make United, well United and for me that's a huge part of it

    The theatre of dreams, it's something you can't put into words going up the steps when you first see the pitch

    A soulless, memory less bowl has never had any appeal to me

    It's been renovated a number of times and we've still played there while it was going on
