Update from the 2005 interim report.

The project remains on track to add 7,900 new seats in August 2006, taking the capacity of Old Trafford to just under 76,000.

As a result of rising raw material and building costs, the total project cost is now estimated at £43 million including a £1 million contribution to local infrastructure initiatives agreed with Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council. This cost represents £5,400 per seat but is expected to pay back over an average of 24 games a season in six years because of the mix of facilities.

We will be able to accommodate a further 2,400 executive customers in these new facilities, together with 5,500 regular seats.
