DATES VISITED THIS GROUND : Too many times to recall

THIS REVIEW IS BASED ON THE VISIT DATED: IN GENERAL

Manchester United, the club I fell in love with a long time before I even knew Lincoln had a football team. I loved United from early childhood so anyone who calls me a glory supporter is obviously ignoring the fact I started supporting them in ’88, when they hadn’t won anything for years.

 

I love visiting Old Trafford and have seen the development each stand as the years have gone by, from standing on the Stretford End terrace, to the top tier of the North Stand and even just behind the dug outs. There are no words to truly describe how much I love Old Trafford and I have seen many great games there ranging from a 9-0 thumping of Ipswich, a 4-3 win over Madrid and many victories over Manchester City, to the occasional defeat, the last one I saw there was to Arsenal in 2002 (the game they won the title)

 

The view from all stands is magnificent and the atmosphere at a fully old Old Trafford is just amazing and I to see some of the legends of Old Trafford playing means so much to me. I’ve seen legends such as Robson, Hughes, Giggs and of course, “Schmikes”

 

Overall, if I had to pick my favourite game at Old Trafford, it would have to be the 9-0 win over Ipswich, just a great day to be a United fan and to this day, still the record Premiership win.

 

Anyone who doesn’t want to visit Old Trafford is a fool as it is one of the best venues in the country and you never get a dull moment there.
