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.

Quality was good, prices were high and queues were enormous)

Yes I would, but the prices are steep.

9 for the ground apart from the prices, but the atmosphere was tremendous.

Club & Ground Name:

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.

Manchester United - Old Trafford

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.

some biast views....

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.

I saw them play Liverpool years back. Great atmosphere but I suppose that was to do with them playing Liverpool and being 4-0 up laugh.gif

Forza Roma.

I went their to watch Palace play once. The atmosphere was fantastic, everybody was singing. But that may have been down to the fact that it was a brilliant match and I'm not used to seeing more than 19,000 fans singing their heart out every minute of the game.

Knower days it's only the bigger games against big teams (Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and City for example) which creates the best atmostphere. Any other game it fluctuates between a good atmostphere and, not a good atmostphere. But when everyones in full voice, there's little to compare to it. I just hope we get planning permission to bring the attendance closer to the 100,000 mark.

Old Trafford is now adays only a really good atmosphere when we play the bigger games. Liverpool this season for one was brilliant, stephen Gerrard and Peter Crouch must of wanted to curl up and die because them two guys got so much stick. It is better travelling away with United, Atmosphere is much better, and no matter where we play away we allways sing. Mates who are Celtic fans have even said that when watching United away on the tele, they only mainly here the away fans.

United have turned their back on true fans. Atmosphere is rubbish and there are empty seats 20 minutes before the game is over. They still get the ticket sales, they just sell them to the wrong people.
