2025 Guest Speaker
Andy Mitten, Journalist, Author, Podcaster
Andy Mitten is a journalist, podcaster and author, with 14 books to his name. He founded the best-selling United We Stand fanzine as a 15-year-old in Manchester in 1989.
His work has taken him to over 100 countries, writing about football from Israel to Iran, Brazil to Barbados. He writes for The Athletic and is editor at large for FourFourTwo. He's also part of Talk of the Devils, the world's biggest Man Utd podcast.
He is incredibly passionate about the changing face of the City he was born in, the changing skyline, and the regeneration that has taken place in the city.
He has seen first-hand what impact redevelopment can have on the local communities and the benefits it can bring to them.
The proposed regeneration of Old Trafford, building on the development of the Etihad stadium and other areas of Manchester provide a great example of the transformative potential of urban regeneration.
Andy will share his thoughts and experiences of what these regeneration projects mean to the people who will call them home long after the heavy machinery has left and the project is complete.
