In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
What the feck does some 3rd world country want with the upper tier of a stadium?
Apparently they are going to be built in such a way that the each tier will form a stand alone stadium
I cant remember the exact numbers but i think they were on about building 12 stadia and that apparently would give 20 new grounds to developing countries after the WC
The FA should have had Sean Bean on the bid team
That didnt stop them from giving the 2002 WC to SK and Japan.
Of course we do. We even have strawberry flavoured snow.
If I'm going by presentations alone the most impressive were Russia and Qatar.
Our bid
Alright. The England bid...I don't see the point in your post at all other than to be a knobhead but there you go. I bit. Twat.
i havent watched it tbf i was watching them interview folks in a seattle coffeeshop. Now seattly is possibly the most passionate fans we have for the MLS. I would love to see us get it again but it really should be down to the aussies but then i might be biased.
England Aussies then the Colonies would be nice.
Let's just give it to fecking Europe then. Jeez.
Nazi's beat most of Europe. Let's just give it to the Nazi's.
Fine by me, the nazis sure know how organize great events.
There was a hell of a legacy from those games. We call him Park.
Everybody still talks about the '36 Olympics.

So which poor country gets the vagina shaped stadium?
Calm down stobz, or will I have to send a skype apology?
Skype blowjob
Who's going to make the World Cup song if England wins? Cheryl Cole?
US for 2022 would be great
Japan have the J-League.. they've also produced some quality footballers and the country loves its sport, not to mention it was a joint bid with S.Korea.. ok it might not be N.Korea but their neighbours have provided the World Cup with one of its greatest memories in 1966.
What has Qatar ever done in terms of football? no potential for the country to produce a legacy for itself..
I don't mind the world cup going to new regions as long as the country itself has the potential to really become a big contributor to the game of football as a whole.
Seeing Sir Bobby is always brilliant.
We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for the cup...
Someone needs to photoshop a space age stadium into a city in the likes of Chad or Uganda.
Only the top half, mind.
So i've got to admit I'm geting excited now, best steel myself for the dissapointment.
I'm just getting sepp for the disappointment, if we don't get it, I'll have a beer or two tonight and get blattered.

It is worth checking out the other designs for people who havent seen them

Not full uniform, I haven´t found SS pants on ebay yet. Working on it though.
We should fire her from a cannon.
Doesn't have to be related to the WC, I just think we should.
pm hectic, he's on form today
I think I just spotted a Wayne Rooney lookalike.. behind Gabby

We've resorted to playing Top Trumps with the name cards now.
Bugger. My pen has run out.
Eeeeenie, Meeeeenie, Myyyyyynie, Mo......
Those are indeed some amazingly mental stadia.
If you think they look a bit over-blown in Qatar, **** how preposterous they will look in some 3rd world slum!
Oooooooo. May have overdone the puns then.
Me too. Don't know why.
The last time I commentated on a thread while watching a big T.V. event was MJ's memorial. While it's fair to say the Neverland ranch could never possibly host a FIFA World Cup (unless it was for under 14's) what MJ lacked in major sporting event hosting capability he more than made up for with being in a casket which resembled a BBQ.
I've put it down to straw clutching optimism. Also the hope that in 8 years time I may be taking what will be my 12 year old daughter, to world cup games.
It's fecking ridiculous, what are they going to do with all of those stadiums afterwards? It has a population around the same as Merseyside!
Unconfirmed reports that Qatar might win it!
