Manchester United FC is well known as the most widely football team supporter in the world. For football fans, particularly Manchester United fans, a visit to their stadium, the Old Trafford in Manchester, is a chance to visit the site of some of football’s greatest moments and see where some of football’s most famous players played and trained. We were lucky enough to have a chance to visit this gorgeous and historical stadium in our holiday in Manchester last summer.
The first thing that came across our mind after we arrived in the city of Manchester was to find a hotel. We had to choose a suitable hotel in Manchester for a place to rest. There are several hotels available near to the stadium, such as Capthorne Hotel, Old Trafford Lodge, Trafford Hall Hotel, and many more. There is a huge variety of hotels so you will not find any difficulty to find a suitable hotel in Manchester. We finally chose to stay at Old Trafford Lodge. After checking in to our hotel, we made our way to the Old Trafford by tram.
At the location, we were welcomed by the huge presence of the stadium and the museum of Old Trafford. The entry ticket for a tour to the stadium is £10. We bought the ticket and went straight to the museum. The first thing we came across in the museum is the memorial of Sir Matt Busby. He was the legendary manager of Manchester United FC who managed the team in 1945-1969. The story of the Munich air disaster of 1958 was also told. George Best is also having a special place in the museum. We can see all of his records and achievements back when he was still playing. Of course we would not miss the huge collection of Manchester United’s trophies, starting from the Premier League, FA Cup, Carling Cup, to the European Champions Cup. There is also a special chart that showing Manchester United’s treble winner trophies in season of 1998 to 1999. After that, we proceeded to the stadium.
We were guided by a tour guide called Tony. The first area we visited is the front-row view of the whole stadium, going from one section to another. After that, we came across the seats of the home team and went to the inside of the stadium. The first room we visited is the dining room, where the players take a meal before or after the match. Right after the dining room, we arrived at the conference room. It is not that big, but it can accommodate around 50 reporters. Finally, we reached the changing room where Sir Alex Ferguson always gives instruction to the players before a game. The shirts on the wall show us where each player normally sits. At the end of the tour, we were guided to the field of the stadium. There is also a megastore within the grounds where we can browse and shop for souvenirs.
During our holiday in Manchester, we visited the Old Trafford stadium. It is an enormous stadium where famous players of Manchester United play. We saw Manchester United’s extensive trophy collection, learned about their legends that have graced the club’s history and experience the triumphs and tragedies of Manchester United FC. Visiting Old Trafford stadium in Manchester was an exceptional experience.
