Means more money coming into the club and more normal price tickets for the fans, the commercial dept have implied they will have something extra as soon as next season!!! so I assume this is a quick upgrade to Anny road? as the main stand will take ages.
Any idea what the capacity will increase by? Much prefer a re development of a stadium where we retain our history.
Just talking to my mate who does the transport he told me that that they are conducting a feasibility study to see if they can do the two stands this summer possibly putting back a few early home games - sounds like a big ask.
Max capacity supposedly 60k but at what I price? Certainly I am spoilt with my view at present but will people be happy paying £3k to sit in the gods with a prawn sarnie? Also the proportion of none food normal tickets is supposed to be much smaller in relation to the new capacity, they want average spend per fan to increase - obviously it's a business it just seems hard to accept its a cash generator .

After this season the timing couldn't be better to increase capacity.

Season ticket demand will surely be up, and the number of people I know who support other clubs that are desperate to get tickets next season for our games is fantastic.

We've needed more work on our commercials for a while I feel, fingers crossed we make good progress on this in the coming years.

Was hoping he'd get another 2 transfer windows and finish the job. Hopefully just noise. He just needs time. smile
You have to feel for the man (a bit) given what he inherited.
.
He inherited the Premier League Champions but are now 23 points behind the current leaders (;)) and for context 23 points behind them are West Brom in 16th.

He's taken a trophy winning team to a middle table team. st.

We're all gutted because if they get a good manager it'll be harder for us to be successful next season. With him there not so much.
I think that Man U side massively overachieved last year and their endeavours were more a reflection of SAF's ability and the air of invincibility that had been established.

He inherited a squad on a steep decline and with many vulnerabilities. He hasn't helped himself by not knowing what to do I certain situations, but then they knew he lacked experience. Shouldn't have hired him if they weren't happy going through a period of transition.

I'm not shedding tears, I'm just expressing some compassion.

Existing main stand in red.

New design looks awesome and totally un-generic-bowl.
Are there several phases of development and enlargement on the board? Additional revenues will make an appreciable difference even if it only goes to 60k.

Same here about Moyes - he's been stitched up with a team of mostly has beens. Last year SAF brought a player out of retirement FFS when he should have been blooding new talent or buying in both raw and proven talent.

Man United won the title last year despite being more than a bit rubbish. Many of their games were one- nilers that they coud have lost and they didnt entertain. City and Chelsea sacked their managers after not being able to mount a serious title challenge and Arsenal did nothing. Liverpool struggled too with their new manager and Everton did pretty well but still won nothing.

Short memories in football.

Utd can replace Moyes with anyone they like, but unless the owners invest massively in the squad the results won't be any different. The evidence over the past 5 or so years suggests they don't want to plough cash in a la Chelski/City hence why Moyes was appointed in the first place due to his track record of developing youth & finding a bargain or two.


This Athletico v Chelsea game is so dour it's unbelievable, we really have been spoilt this season haven't we.

God Chelsea are dull. Hopefully they'll come at us at the weekend given they need all 3 points.

God I hope so... this is dreadful. Why are the team that are 2nd in the Prem treating these guys like they are the Brazilian National side from 1970.

Cech has allegedly dislocated his shoulder so will be out for the rest of the season if true.

True.

But I hope we don't play like this when we're in the CL next season... hardly worth bothering if you're gonna play like this.

Yep. Ramires gets a four match ban tomorrow. Terry only turned his ankle a bit so I'd expect him to be fit at the weekend.

Very strange, if we win our last 3 games we will finish on exactly the same W/D/L numbers & obviously points as United last season!

With the injury problems Chelsea now have, I can see Mourinho going for a bit of a second string to try and go all out for the CL. Chelsea's defence without Terry is definitely more penetrable.
