The Future of Old Trafford, and at what cost?
KEV ALLSOP discusses what this new era will really mean for Manchester United supporters, is it a vision of glory or a step towards corporate greed?

LET’S face it: the best stadium in history, home to the best team in history, can only mean one thing: Manchester United will soon be unveiling a new stadium, one that will seat an astonishing 100,000 fans, all packed into the iconic Old Trafford on matchday.

This new Theatre, nay, Coliseum of Dreams will undoubtedly be a magnet for more trophies, more glory, and more celebrations as Manchester United achieve further greatness in the coming decades. The cheers of the fans will echo louder than ever before, but what will this new era really mean for the supporters?

What will the stadium be called? We know that naming rights are worth millions, I doubt it will be Old, or New, Trafford and another piece of our heritage is gone.  We were told that the three masts represent the three prongs of the red devils trident, but we have heard no mention of the Munich clock or the United, or Holy, Trinity Statue.
