No, they turn up in a newer 100,000 seater megadome - perception, yeah? They got to trust me - I'm taking these guys into battle, yeah?

By sacking most of their staff, stopping free lunches, refusing to pay a £10 bonus to stewards, making players look after their kit better and raising ticket prices whilst also removing any concessions It's not rocket science Edited 20 hours ago by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
South-Cheshire-Toon Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago The thing I always find funny is the difference between the concept pictures and reality. How often does Manchester or anywhere in north england look like that - never. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago They will have to issue bonds most likely. A tax exile like Jim certainly won't be paying for it. They could issue shares but I doubt they'd be able to issue enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't....they want the public to pay for it...."in the interest of the North" Balls to them we're the real North....let's ask the govt to fund ournew stadium for some northern regeneration if they actually mean it ( which of course everyone knows they don't). Only way to get "the North" level with the South is to shove Parliament up here....bet we'd catch up pretty quick if that happened Edited 20 hours ago by gjohnson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago I can't get over those images being real like. I get that they're concepts, but fucking hell. Pride before a fall though if anyone saw the original designs for Neom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago (edited) I like how they still have a fan zone underneath the roof/canopy, and I like the wrap around displays which are the modern and less obstructive way of having screens. Is it actually going to be a fanzone though, or is it just a club store in a separate building? Overall the design is a bit shit like. As someone has said, it’s like a circus tent, and it is, well a circus tent, a bit of the Millennium dome, and Royal Quays outlet park. I’d hope that our owners have a better design in mind for our stadium. Edited 20 hours ago by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago I love how on back to back days, the owner simultaneously said they needed to cut 300 jobs otherwise they'd go out of business, then followed it up by announcing a 100000 all seater stadium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll be in our new stadium before they are. Exactly it's 3 years and counting for our considerably richer owners to even decide if any movement is going on. If we got a decision tomorrow we're probably looking at 7-8 years at best for a new home, and probably 10 to stay where we are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Quote The stadium, and wider regeneration project, have the potential to deliver an additional £7.3bn per year to the UK economy which brings large-scale social and economic benefits to the community and wider region, including the possible creation of 92,000 new jobs, more than 17,000 new homes as well as driving an additional 1.8 million visitors annually.
