Neville has been working with fans’ groups to create a ten storey hotel and leisure complex on Sir Matt Busby Way. Initially United supported the scheme but now they are urging Manchester City Council to reject the planning application made under the name of Old Trafford Supporters’ Club.
Former Manchester United player and club ambassador Gary Neville is involved in a dispute with the club about his plans to build a hotel and supporters’ club opposite Old Trafford.
Neville has been working with fans’ groups to create a ten storey hotel and leisure complex on Sir Matt Busby Way. Initially United supported the scheme but now they are urging Manchester City Council to reject the planning application made under the name of Old Trafford Supporters’ Club.
They say that they oppose the scheme because of its potential impact on the landscape, insufficient parking and highway safety concerns. However, what really seems to bother them is limits on the use of the complex to supporters’ club members and ‘erroneous’ claims made about the organisation’s relationship with the club.
