Old Trafford

What can i say Old Trafford 'The Theatre of Dreams' (the great nickname given by Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton), a place where title dreams are made and lost, the greasest players can only dream of pulling on the shirt and playing amongst the greatest red devils. Old Trafford is a football stadium in Greater Manchester, that is home of the current Barclays Premier League Champions Manchester United. The ground has been home to the red devils since 1901 (apart form the 8 year absense when old trafford was bombed in the second world war between 1941-1949). It is close to the criket ground that is also called Old Trafford. Its capacity ...  Read the complete review

I have chosen to review Old Trafford football ground as i am a huge Man United fan and until around four years ago when my son was born i was a regular visitor to Old Trafford attending all Man Uniteds home games for around 10 years or so and i miss it terribly!! The atmosphere you experience during a game here is electric. You would be hard pushed to find an atmosphere like it when a game is in full flow, especially when a goal goes in and the stadium erupts - makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up! It almost became like my second home so am now feeling a little homesick having been away from Old Trafford for so long. Old Trafford is a ...  Read the complete review

As a Manchester united fan living in Scotland I rarely get the chance to visit Old Trafford (otherwise known as the theatre of dreams) these days and recently when the chance arose to go and watch them play Celtic in the champion's league, I jumped at it. Having lived in Manchester for a good few years I had paid many a visit to the stadium but had not been there in nearly 6 years and it took my breath away as much on this visit as it did on the first time I went there. This giant stadium known as the theatre of dreams after Sir Bobby Charlton nicknamed it that is a sight to behold indeed and the atmosphere generated inside it on a champion's league ...  Read the complete review

~~In the Beginning~~ Earliest memories are tricky things. I have vague recollections of my grandfather driving a green GPO van past the house when I was tiny, and of bathtime and the joy of toy boats and rubber ducks. It's not until later on that things become clearer, and one of the earliest clear memories I have is from an event I can even put the date on. May 23rd 1968 - for it was then that Manchester United beat Benfica 4-1 at Wembley, to fulfil Sir Matt Busby's dream of becoming champions of Europe. To this day I can still remember my father watching the match on our British Relay rented black and white television, sitting on his ...  Read the complete review

I visited Old Trafford last week when I have been to Manchester. I firstly visited the Museum, which is located in the stadium. It is just beside the Manchester supporters' famous café. When you first get in the museum (it is not big at all), you see the model of the stadium. In the next room, you'll see all the cups Manchester won. Especially last premiership cup was very elegant. Also there is a room in the museum, which you can see the 80-90 year old shoes, which were used by famous players decades ago. Also you can watch the old matches. The thing I liked most in the museum was a device, which you can be commentator and tell the match. Firstly the real ...  Read the complete review
