 | Manchester Old Trafford Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 37 |  |
Being a lifelong Manchester United supporter I would include Old Trafford as a 'must see' activity if you come to Manchester. Current capacity is nearly 68,000, shortly to be increased to 75,000.
However, the days of being able to just turn up on a Saturday and watch a match are long gone -- all home matches are sold out weeks in advance.
There is a museum and you can arrange ground tours although these may be restricted on match days.
You can buy all sorts of United related products at the Megastore next to the ground.
The museum is open from 9.30 am - 5 pm, Tuesday to Sunday. Match day opening times from 9.30 am until half an hour before kick off.
Charges : Museum & Tour : About £8.50 per adult, £5.75 per child, £23.50 per family. Museum only : About £5.50 per adult, £3.75 per child, £15.50 per family. Children under 5 years go free.

Also lots of buses run from Piccadilly to the ground. By car, Sir Matt Busby Way is off the A56 Chester Road.Website: www.manutd.com

Manchester is home to one of football's giants Man Utd (The Red Devils).
Winners of the European Cup in 1968 and 1999, they have won the English Premiership a record 8 times and have an array of superstars, the most famous : Wayne Rooney. You can take a tour of the Old Trafford stadium on any day except Christmas Day (and during the games obviously). The Museum is also an excellent way to sample the atmosphere of the club.

Whether you are into football or not, this is a great day out. For those of you who are into football, or support Manchster United then you are in for a real treat. If you can afford to splah out around £35 for a ticket to see a game then do so, you will not regret it. If that is out of your budget then why not go on the stadium tour which costs around £7. The tour takes you around the stadium, in the stands, next to the pitch, into the dugouts and into the players changing rooms. you also visit the clubs trophy room which is very impressive.

You can catch the metrolink in Manchester City Centre on the Altrincham line.Website: www.manutd.com

Manchester United Museum and Tour
Even if Man Utd aren't your favourite team, and you don't love David Beckham as much as the rest of us do, you should still check out the museum. It's excellent - well laid out without being hysterical in its support of the team. The tour, I think, would interest any fan of football as it has a behind-the-scenes look at the running of a major team. What's more, most of the guides have a great Mancunian sense of humour. (and isn't that accent so sexy!!) Leave a Comment Directions: Sir Matt Busby Way, Manchester. Take Metrolink tram to Old Trafford, go under the tracks and walk up Warwick Road past the cricket ground to Sir Matt Busby Way.Other Contact: Open every day except Christmas

Home of Manchester United F.C, this ground otherwise known as "The Theater of Dreams" is a must for any football fan! The museum and tour is really nice and quite cheap! You can also get a meal or a drink at Reds Café which is really nicely decorated and quite cool! :) Leave a Comment Directions: It's the big thing that looks like a stadium! ;) Just follow the signs when you get in town.Website: www.manutd.com

I suppose no Manchester page can be complete without mentioning the football team Manchester United. See www.manutd.com. The photo shows their manager Fergie, and the little monkey boy next to him is Sundrland manager Peter Reid. Leave a Comment

Watching Manchester United. Tickets can be a problem, but if you are planning your trip in advance, it can be possible to get hold of tickets for midweek games. Otherwise, a friendly local can usually sort you out - for a price!!
A unique experience. The atmosphere surrounding Old Trafford on a matchday has to be seen / heard to be believed. Leave a Comment Directions: Old Trafford, Manchester. Metro from centre, Direction Altrincham, to OLD TRAFFORD.Other Contact: www.manutd.com 0044(0)1618688000

MANCHESTER UNITED F.C. - Old Trafford is the home of 'the other Manchester team'. For those of you who don't know, the further you get from Old Trafford the more Man U. fans you will run into. In other words, hardly any United fans live in or around Manchester. Leave a Comment

Manchester United Museum and Tour
If you're a football fan, even if not a Man United fan, you'll find this interesting. I happen to like football and found the tour of Old Trafford fascinating. You see behind the scenes, visit the press room, the dressing rooms, players lounge, VIP lounge (be sure to check out the photos on the walls of these two rooms) and then down to the pitch. Stand in the tunnel and pretend to be getting ready to head out and play for Man U. Okay, I didn't do that but others on the tour did ;-)
When you're done the tour check out the musuem and see the history of the club, especially the tragic tale of the air disaster in Munich in 1958.
The museum and tour cost £8.50. Leave a Comment Directions: Old Trafford I took Metrolink to Old Trafford station and followed the signs.Other Contact: 0161 868 8631
