Finding inexpensive seats anywhere on the lower level at a football game is near impossible. But your best bets are going to be in the higher rows of corner and endzone sections. Between these two options, corner seats offer a superior view of the field. Where can I drink before Manchester United? After previously beating Everton 2-1 last week, and with Old Trafford Manchester being the largest ground in the league, then was going to be one of the biggest away games of the season so I was certainly looking forward to it.

I met my friend for a drink in the Lime Bar in Salford Quays where there was a good mix of home and away fans. The United fans we encountered were all very friendly pointing us in the direction of the ground. About a 15 – 20 minute walk from Salford Quays and we were at the turnstiles. The ground looks a little imbalanced with the smaller Sir Bobby Charlton Stand looking somewhat out of place with its larger newer neighbours. However, in my opinion, the best views of the ground are from the front of this stand and from the away section, as you look out upon the three newer, larger sides. Still, if this Main Stand was to be re-developed in the same manner as the others, then the ground would possibly be the envy of Europe. I have to say that it feels more like a tourist attraction like the Tower of London than a football ground. Lots of various Del boys selling ubiquitous half and half scarves. I tried haggling after the game to buy one for a mate and they can get very aggressive. I would recommend any tourists to avoid them and buy merchandise in the official shop which is only a short walk away, rather than giving hard earned money to these shysters. The sight of old Trafford's huge stands as you approach the ground is a truly amazing sight. Once in the away end, the allocation seemed a lot smaller than it has done before. The legroom between the seats leaves a lot to be desired although we were stood up for the duration of the game. We were housed in the older stand in one corner and the sight of the other three stands is incredible. That being said, initial steps have been drawn up. Early in 2023, the Manchester United stadium ‘project’ was handed to a couple of major players in the sporting area field – specifically Populous and Legends International.

I have lived in Scotland all of my life but I have supported Southampton since 1968 when I was nine years old and my father took me to The Dell. My parents had lived in Southampton when they were first married in the 1950's and at the time that I went to the Dell they were down visiting friends. You can’t help but be impressed by the ground’s exterior, as much as I tried not to! But first time visitors may be expecting too much, whilst pundits on the telly can go over the top about it. It’s a vast, great stadium, but it’s definitely not going to make your jaw drop like the Bernabeu or San Siro for example, but then that’s just my opinion. Inside the ground is even more impressive, totally enclosed, the impossibly steep stands meet the pitch mere yards from the players. It looks intimidating from the stands, I’d imagine it’d be even more so from the players’ point of view. Sunderland had won the first leg 2-1 thanks to a Giggs own goal and a Borini penalty. Sunderland had one foot in the final for the first time in 22 years. Man Utd weren't exactly in fine form so I was really confident.

It has 25,500 seats. The corners to each side of this stand are also filled with seating and extend around to meet both ends. Sir Bobby Charlton Stand There is no love lost between these two clubs. Manchester United’s stadium is always a special place to be when Liverpool visit but the derby isn’t all about making sure Liverpool stay off “their ******* perch”. Just generally, the two cities don’t exactly see eye to eye with the development of the Manchester Ship Canal a big part of that.

We were going from Preston, so travelling towards Manchester was fine however once we started to come within 10 miles from the ground the match day traffic certainly did build up. So I would advise others to leave in fair time and give yourself a bit of a cushion. Not advisable to drink in any local pubs especially with a scouse accent so just a few drinks before we got on the coach and then straight into the Old Trafford ground.Get the latest updates from across Greater Manchester direct to your inbox with the free MEN newsletter A decision on the sprinkler system is due in March 2020 at a meeting of Trafford Housing Trust's Board - which former council leader Coun Sean Anstee and current council leader Coun Andrew Western are both members of. The views of the playing surface from the away end are very good and we were able to create a decent noise from where we were stood. However, the stadium could do with a few upgrades. Some parts looked very old and worn out. Despite this the scale of the ground is very impressive. A 0-0 draw, but it was pretty much end to end so it wasn't a bad one to watch. The stewards were friendly and the facilities were good.

As for the game itself, just wow. Spurs had a dream start with Jan Vertonghen playing a one-two and dinking a goal inside five minutes. We continued to dominate with the brilliant Gareth Bale grabbing a second before half-time. I stayed in my seat during the half-time period. The second half was more nail-biting: for United, Rooney came on for Giggs and they looked a different side. They got chance after chance until Nani scored impressively from a Rooney cross to make it 2-1. However a minute later we countered and Jermain Defoe was at the other end; he crossed to Bale who forced a parry from Lindegaard, inviting Clint Dempsey to tap the ball in and send us into delirium. Kagawa then finished off a good move two minutes later making it 3-2. And, despite United’s total dominance from then until the final whistle, the scoreline stayed put. Spurs had finally beaten Manchester United away for the first time in nearly 23 years! I had just returned from holiday the day before so this was something to look forward to, especially after the bomb scare debacle of the previous season when we ended up watching the match in a sparsely populated away end in a generally strange atmosphere.
