Conjo Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Literally says around Old Trafford. What's the fuss? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 On 26/01/2025 at 05:08, Conjo said: Literally says around Old Trafford. What's the fuss? Expand Outside of London, Manchester has had huge amounts of government funding in the last 20-25 years, so the government can say that they invest in the North. Manchester is like a Northern London now. It is now in a position where any sort of development company would be willing to invest in a regeneration project without the government kicking starting it. On top of this, the regeneration project is being kick started by arguably the biggest and one of the richest football clubs in the country, arguably the world, with many investors being multimillionaire’s and billionaires. The rest of the country gets no funding at all. Half a mile away from SJP you have the Gateshead flyover that is closed because it’s falling down, with the government refusing to give the council money to tear it down, and have rejected giving it funding twice in recent years so it could be taken down before it got to this state. The Tyne bridge is still awaiting its final pot of money to be approved to finish its refurbishment, which is at least 5 years overdue, again due to budget restraints imposed on local councils. The Redheugh bridge they fear is going the same way as the Gateshead flyover, again no funding for it. The grade 2 listed High level bridge is going to need a complete rebuild in the coming years, again it has lacked funding from central government. Let’s see how fast the government are willing to give money to us to develop the Strawberry land when we announce our stadium developments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Manchester has already had the Etihad regeneration It has the BBC Newcastle got a white elephant battery factory in Blyth that inevitably went to shit before a single battery was ever made. And we can’t even get enough money to pay for all the paint we need to tidy up the Tyne Bridge Who can I sue about this plan to pump even more money into Manchester ?
