曼联计划扩大老特拉福德球场的容量,目标是90,000个座位----和温布利球场一样.
英超和冠军联赛的双冠王如今拥有一座可容纳76,500人的主场,他们已经制定了好几个改建计划.
弗格森爵士曾经建议俱乐部增加主看台两个角落的座位数,使球场容量增加到82,000.
但是昨晚曼联的首席执行官大卫-吉尔表示,老特拉福德的长期扩建目标比这还要大.
他说:"每场比赛总有很多的球迷不能前来观看,如果球场得到扩建,这个问题可以得到一定程度上的解决."
吉尔还透露俱乐部将会在老特拉福德前建造弗格森的雕像,以感谢他为曼联做出的巨大贡献.
90,000 seat plan for OT
Manchester United will look at expanding Old Trafford again to make it into a near 90,000-seater stadium - as big as Wembley. The Premier League and European Cup winners already have a 76,500 arena after several rebuilding programmes. Sir Alex Ferguson has urged the club to build up the two corners of the main stand and increase the capacity to 82,000. But last night United's chief executive David Gill revealed the long term plan is to eventually make Old Trafford even bigger than that. He said: "We turn away a large number of fans every game and if we put the capacity up I'm sure it would be well received." Gill has also revealed the club are planning to erect a statue of Ferguson at Old Trafford to salute his achievements at the club. |
