OLD TRAFFORD AT 100,000

Ferguson has said that he will be happy when the club has a capacity of 100,000. From the Mirror:

"We're a big club and we're going to get bigger," said Fergie. "If I had to point to an aspect in which I've done well, and I think the directors would admit this, it's that I've always pushed them to increase the size of the stadium.

"When it went up to 76,000 and our chief executive David Gill made the announcement and I was asked for a quote, I said once we got to 100,000 I would be happy.

"I knew that David would be panicking at that. After all, it would entail going over the railway line behind the main stand and buying up houses. But we could do it.

"The next step could be filling in the third and fourth quadrants, without touching the railway, to get the capacity over 90,000. I'll be pushing for that."
