A Fangroep from Manchester United has issued a destructive statement in response to the club's plans to build a brand new stadium.
Man United announced that they want to build a brand new stadium with 100,000 seats in the coming five years, which costs around £ 2 billion.
Bringing a new stadium to the club – or renovating the ailing Old Trafford – has long been on the agenda for Sir Jim Ratcliffe since his partial acquisition was completed with the Red Devils.
However, the announcement has received mixed assessments; Many fans went to social media to claim that the new land looked like a 'circus', while others were more optimistic for the future.
Nevertheless, the Fangroep released the 1958 their own destructive explanation about the new stadium and closed the club for away from the 'grim, historical essence' of the club.
“Instead of embodying the grim, historical essence of Old Trafford … The design seems to be a generic, soulless company structure, more related to a modern entertainment location than a football cathedral,” the statement said.
'It is circus -like aesthetic disrupted the origin of the working class and the identity of a fan base that spans generations. Instead of honoring the past and strengthening the bond with the local community, priority gives the spectacle above content.
'Football, dignity and traditions must be maintained and what we can see that they are not. It should be a cathedral for fans to worship our team and not a circus -like tourist attraction. '
The design of the stadium can divide the opinion, but it is certainly daring and futuristic in its intentions.
Three gigantic towers, inspired by the trident of the Red Devils, dominate the skyline and effectively retain the 'umbrella' – a sweeping glass and steel canopy above it that fans dry inside and outside, which would be comfortable the largest stadium in Groot -Britain.
A huge Wraparound scoreboard also contains, along with a three-storey museum and restaurants on the canal side as part of a huge Fandorp in a project that says Ratcliffe that it will retain the essence of Old Trafford … while the fan experience only transforms footsteps from our existing house '.
Man United has also ambitiously proposed that the stadium, which would become the largest covered space in the world, will be completed within a period of only five years.
The 1958 organized a protest against the ownership of the club prior to their Premier League collision with Arsenal and gathered at rising ticket prices.
Fans were encouraged to wear black to symbolize how their club was 'slowly dying'.
A spokesperson from 1958 said: 'The club dies slowly in front of our eyes, on and next to the field, and the fault is right in the current ownership model.
'In many ways this is the biggest crisis with which the club was confronted since the air disaster in Munich [which killed 23 in 1958] Who inspires our name. '
Under many of the singing of demonstrators, 'it is your fault, not ours'. Other songs mentioned recent price increases up to £ 66 per ticket, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe, as well as the Glazer family, which have been United since 2004.
There were also many songs from 'We want to look out'.
In addition to singing, many fans announced their feelings by showing homemade banners.
One read: '£ 66 for children's tickets! Explo down dreams! We are more than just a seat number. #Glazsout '.
Another banner stated: “We want club back”. Another message was: 'Fight for United, Fight Glazer'.
