East Manchester Investment

[Beefymcfc]

Does anyone think that the Abu Dhabi/Emirates type structures would look a little out of place?



Are we to become the new New York?

a formula one track, maybe? The Manchester Grand Prix has a ring to it

I could moor my yacht on the river irwell!

And what's wrong with the Manchester Canal? Was thinking more of Portland Basin myself ;-)

We are buying the Stadium and increasing capacity imo.

That's what i was thinking also.

It's gonna have to be spectacular to get the projected 6 million visitors a year. The British museum is the countries most attended visitor attraction and it gets 5.8m.

foreigners, coming over here, creating our jobs

brilliant

OT but best one of those I've heard is

'Indian Summers, coming over here taking our winters!''

Just thought I'd share that with you all :-)

If 'visitors' are counted as 'visits' (as per the British Museum- I went twice in 2002), and cup & European runs are included, that would mean a 150-200k stadium.

Mental, but feasible.

Well if 5.8m will go to look at a load of old shite, they should have no problem attracting people to see brand new stuff..

Don't tell me.
There building the worlds biggest mosque right next to our ground?

What are you trying to say?

Americans and Japanese will look at anything it "little ol' Englandland".

6M is a lot for a tourist attraction but nothing for a station or shopping mall, so I'm with Sandman - shopping/casino jobbie. With a stadium extension thrown in.

I always keep meaning to ask. Have you found God James, or is this just a running jokey theme?

I don't want my second ban threat, Ant.

The Country's biggest Mosque will be in Stratford, East London in time for the 2012 Olympics. I don't think it'll be East Manchester. The Country's biggest Primark will be more apt.

Or the one about the dyslexic atheist who wondered whether there was a dog :P

You know what mate, we had that campaign last year. Only people who were mildly offended were muslim bus drivers but they agreed that muslim drivers didn't have to drive busses with those adverts on them. I don't think Finnish people care, even the religious ones.
