How Easy Was It To Find?
Easy as I have been many times but this is the most memorable, but the stadium is right on the Bus route.
8/10
Car Parking. Was It near? Was It Free?
You can park for free (of you buy something) on the Lowry Centre car park a 15 minute walk away, I suggest go there, park up, get a Burger King or McDonalds then go to the match
8/10

Comfortable, maybe a little close together yes but tremendous view.

Manchester United, Old Trafford.
How Easy Was It To Find?
Um, went on the club coaches the two times I have been there.
Comfort (seating, leg room, does it have a roof etc)?
Last season it was $hit, we were sat on the bottom tier. This season (Tier 2) wasn't that bad, but still uncomfortable. It has a roof yes, still cold though.
Catering (Quality, price, queues)
The catering is $hit. They ran out of hotdogs, the food is expensive. And the girl overcharged me. Last season it was crap, too. The queues are horrendous.
Pubs, Things To Do Nearby. Is There Much To Do For The Early Arriver At The Site Of The Ground?
The Club Shop will keep you occupied for ages.
Would you go again to this stadium?
Yes. Only cos I always go to away games.

How Easy Was It To Find?
I got the metro and could see it. Easy.
10/10
Car Parking. Was It near? Was It Free? Was It Well Policed/lit?
Don't know, only saw one car park and from the show of cars that were there, it looked like it was for people with money.
I do know there is one somewhere which we got in for free last time.
4/10
View. Pillar In The Way?
Great view, two rows from the back.
Comfort (seating, leg room, does it have a roof etc)
Very poor. When we sat down, my knees were crushed, we stood for most of the time.
4/10
Toilets.
Usual urinals.
Catering (Quality, price, queues)
Takes a long time for them to pour beer out of cans.
Atmosphere From Home Fans, How Condusive Was The Away End To Creating A Good Atmosphere?
Very, very quiet. A mate of mine who's a United fan said we were fairly noisy.
5/10
Stewards/Old BillComplete joke.
Stewards were fine, Police weren't. A large group across the back were all standing. 5 minutes into the game, plenty of Police from all exits came up and stood at the back with us.
Chucked me out for having a USA flag and chucked quite a few out come 90 minutes.
0/10
Pubs, Things To Do Nearby. Is There Much To Do For The Early Arriver At The Site Of The Ground?
No away pubs really. But there is a lot to see for United fans, being their first game for them all.

Stood all game.
N/A
Toilets
Usual p*ss pots.
5/10
Catering (Quality, price, queues)
Was very busy. Couldn't be a*sed queueing up.
Atmosphere From Home Fans, How Condusive Was The Away End To Creating A Good Atmosphere
Fantastic atmosphere from us, could hardly hear United fans as usual.
7/10
Stewards/Old Bill
Seemed ok, didn't see many stewards in the stand, plenty of Police in the stand and outside.
Pubs, Things To Do Nearby. Is There Much To Do For The Early Arriver At The Site Of The Ground?
No away pubs, drink in places like Deansgate which is five mins off OldTrafford on the metro, lot of burger places outside, got a bacon roll for £3 rip off.
Mind you, they've got to put lots of home fans things on to keep the day trippers happy.

What the match been played: Manchester UNITED V NEWCASTLE UNITED
Date of the Match: 2006 sometime
How Easy Was It To Find?
Dodgy for away fans, nearly got into a little bit of bother as Man United fans were a little bit cheeky, with comments about our Shearer.
Car Parking. Was It near? Was It Free?
Coach n/a
Comfort (seating, leg room, does it have a roof etc)?
Very steep steps, not reccomended for old people, or people with walking difficulties, seats were alright, very close together.
Catering (Quality, price, queues)
N/A £3 for a PROG
Pubs, Things To Do Nearby. Is There Much To Do For The Early Arriver At The Site Of The Ground?
WE bought a Program, looked for our turnstile.
Would you go again to this stadium?
with a bigger group, yes, only 2 of wa went to this one, which was dodgy.
Overall. Out Of 10, What Do You Feel The Ground Deserves? Dodgy coppers, we got beat 2-0 as we left man united fans were there aswell some saying where the support geordie boys?
mate started shouted 'who the f*ck are man utd!' repeatedly, before i interfeered..
Police are MUFC fans just with yellow coats on, Manchester United fans are just pure pricks in my opinion, they don't sign just sit and watch like apes.

Old traffords exellent I've been about 40 times, lots of things to do, lots of stalls outside.
Atmopshere is rocking but not so much for the little games odviously.
don't reccomend any pubs near the ground to away fans, one about 1-2 minutes from the ground with united fans singing inside.
Lots of places to get food from, clubshop is right at the front of the stadium litereally about 15 seconds walk from the away end.
Very busy after the game.....don't expect to get out fast If you've come on a coach or in a car.
