Reporter: Manchester United issued its first fan survey to ask fans for their opinions on the new stadium

According to reporter Simon Stone, Manchester United issued its first questionnaire to solicit fans’ opinions on the new stadium.

Manchester United is considering introducing a seating licensing system at its proposed new £2bn stadium. The idea was mentioned in a document sent to season ticket holders, official members and VIP purchasers on Thursday, which surveys fans' expectations of the new stadium.

Seat licensing is a concept born in the United States that allows fans to pay a certain amount of money for the right to purchase the same seat. It is expected that only those fans who purchased season tickets will be granted permission to purchase. The club stressed that fans can purchase season tickets separately without purchasing a license.

Manchester United said it has not yet made a decision on actual pricing, but indicative season ticket prices have been given for each area of ​​the stadium, from £570 for the general area in the upper corner of the east stand, to £4,830 for the lower stand opposite the bench. The indicative price for the VIP area is higher, with season tickets for a 16-seat large private box on the middle level of the main stand flush with the center line being as high as 424,800 pounds.

Fans were also asked about the importance of safe standing areas and the location of the club's museum. Many questioned whether the new stadium would actually be built. Doubts have been raised about the feasibility of stadium construction plans, especially in times of economic uncertainty and amid a prolonged period of poor performance.

Even some within the club admit it is a tall order, although they point to Sir Ratcliffe's ability to get the deal done as reason for the club's optimism. Yet more than six months after he first suggested work would start at the end of this year, United are not even close to submitting a planning application.
