I've said it before and I'll say it again, unless something can be done about those terrible in-goals, OT is a poor place to play league.

It’s a minor issue imo.
It’s a thoroughly good place to watch sport and more often than not allows for a good atmosphere.
In the modern game I’d take 1 Night for an Old Trafford GF over 10 Wembley CC finals.

Hold it at the Ethiad, proved to be a great venue for rugby league and affordable travel wise for everyone, great accessibility.

I agree it's otherwise great, Azul, and I prefer it to Wembley too, for atmosphere, transport links, and the rest, but that's the deal-breaker for me. The Ethiad, although it's location is not so good, is a better surface for the sport.

The capacity of the Etihad is only 55,000 plus with hardly any other facilities around the Stadium, while the capacity of Old Trafford is 75,000 plus with numerous other facilities in the area which give it a far better atmosphere prior to any game.

I know which I prefer, irrespective of any "in goal" areas!
