I have visited Old Trafford twice in 2 seasons now specifically for the United v City Derby. The ground has good transport links to Manchester via Tram, Bus, Car and "Football special" train... more

    4 Stars The Greatest Club Ground In England 08/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Recent Improvements make Old Trafford the best league ground in the country

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lack of atmosphere sometimes with so few away supporters allowed in

    Old Trafford [Background: The home of Manchester United has recently undergone extensive improvments and can now boast a capacity of over 67,000, making it the largest football league ground in England] The content of this opinion may come as somewhat of a surprise to anyone who knows me personally, or more specifically anyone at all who knows where my footballing preferences lie. I am, and have always been, a fan of Burnley football club, but with a soft spot for Liverpool FC a team who until recently I would see about four or five times each season at Anfield and cheer the them on as my ... more

    4 Stars Do any English people support Man Utd 10/03/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots of history for the die hard fans.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Will make you a little bit jealous if you support one of the more struggling teams in the premiership.

    First, let me explain why a die hard Everton F.C. fan would write an oppinion on Old Trafford. Unfortunatley, one of my area meetings with work was held at Old Trafford, and as a "bonus", my firm decided to include a tour of the stadium! Now I will endeavour to try and not be biased all the way through this review. On approaching Old Trafford, I can only feel a little bit envious that Everton dont play at Old Trafford, It is awesome. Walking up to the stadium I can understand why all the best players around the world want to play there. On entering the Building I feel a little humble, but I ... more

    5 Stars Walking down the Warwick Road... 10/09/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Large capacity, great facilities, and some of the best fans in the country

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Ticket prices too high, and the glory supporters who ruin the image of the club and the atmosphere inside the ground

    Old Trafford is england’s finest stadium, and one of the best in Europe. The capacity is 68,217, and with the reconstruction of the main stand to extend over the railway line, this will be pushed up above 82,500. From the outside it doesn’t compare with grounds in Italy and Spain. The United Road and Scoreboard Ends look classy with glass frontages, but the Stretford End and Main Stand are, at best, described as functional. However, inside, the facilities for fans are incomparable with European Stadiums. Anyone who has had to suffer Italian or Spanish grounds will know just how ... more

    3 Stars The prawns shall inherit the earth 12/10/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages An open race for once

    Disadvantages Disadvantages They're still there

    Old Trafford, home of the champions? Well, yes, until now, says Hot Footie Tipster in shock prediction that rocks the footballing world in stunning attempt to hijack a category and turn it to his advantage (cos how can you limit your United views to just the one?) Our correspondent writes.... It’s been quite an unusual season so far in that the accustomed storming away from the pack that we’re so used to see from Manchester United has simply not materialised. YET….. Without really clicking into gear as yet, and struggling against less fancied opponents, the Old Trafford club have quietly and ... more

    4 Stars Big, but not the best 10/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Huge, great atmosphere, comfy seats, safe

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too clinical, expensive food, no big screens, Man Utd play there

    As a lifelong Gooner, I have come to regard Old Trafford as the home of the Forces of Darkness rather than the Theatre of Dreams. I find the way in which Manchester United have dominated English football in recent years rather galling to say the least, and the arrogance of Ferguson in particular is enough to make me reach for the mute button when he appears on TV. However, the purpose of this review is not to bring up my personal feelings towards Manchester United, no matter how much I may dislike them. The fact that I have visited Old Trafford more times (once) than most Manchester United ... more
