Old Trafford

Story

Old Trafford is an area of Stretford, in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, 2mi southwest of Manchester city centre. The crossroads sites of two old toll gates roughly delineate the borders of the area: Brooks's Bar to the east and Trafford Bar to the west.Old Trafford is the site of two major sporting venues: Old Trafford football stadium, home of Manchester United F.C., and Old Trafford Cricket Ground, home of Lancashire County Cricket Club. These are at either end of Warwick Road, two parts of which have been renamed Brian Statham Way (formerly Warwick Road) and Sir Matt Busby Way (formerly Warwick Road North). The interconnecting strip of road between retains the name Warwick Road, and the southern section on the other side of the Metrolink line is called Warwick Road South. Clare Hartwell in her book Buildings of Manchester & South East Lancashire suggests Old Trafford is "part of Manchester functionally and visually and the boundary, south west of the Manchester centre, is nowhere noticeable".HistoryOld Trafford was a crossing point over the River Irwell in ancient times. The name Old Trafford possibly derives from the time when there were two Trafford Halls, Old Trafford Hall and New Trafford Hall. The old hall was close to what is now the White City Retail Park, and was said to have been the home of the de Trafford family since 1017, until the family moved to the new hall in what is now Trafford Park, some time between 1672 and 1720. The name of the area around Old Trafford Hall may subsequently have become shortened to Old Trafford. The old hall was demolished in 1939.

The theatre of dreams! Worth a visit for any Manchester United fan! The match day fan atmosphere could be better though. Fans tend to spectate more than change and support. The last time I visited saw united playout a drab draw against Southampton! Atmosphere could be improved by fans actually learning more chants and not being so prim and proper

Visited for my first Champions League game. Despite the disappointing result (!) it was an excellent game and an excellent venue. Sat in South 121 on row CC. This was right at the front next to the corner flag and tunnel which was perfect (see pictures). Would advise getting there early as there can be length queues outside to get in (we got in 5 minutes after kick off because of the queues). Also if you're picking up tickets, you will have to queue to collect tickets and again to get in. Stewards more than helpful.

Очень красивый и большой стадион! Супер атмосферный не только сам стадион., но и весь район, где находится этот стадион. Повсюду так и веет футболом. Везде символика манчестер юнайтед. На столбах весят шарфы манчестер юнайтед. Ночью особенно красиво тут. Сходите, даже если не фанаты. Very nice and great stadium! Super atmospheric is not only the stadium itself, but the whole area where this stadium is located. Everywhere and blowing football. Everywhere the symbols of Manchester United. On the pillars weigh the scarves of Manchester United. At night it is especially beautiful here. Go, even if not the fans.

Old Trafford should be on any man u or even football fan's bucket list. With near 75000 seats the stadium is quite a sight to be seen. For just £9 you can get a tour around the stadium with a look into the locker rooms, press rooms and the stadium grounds itself. Chuck full of useful information and tidbits about the history of Man U it is well worth the price! All of this is not including the experience during match day which is absolutely electrifying!
