Well, that’s Old Trafford (if you haven’t know by now)!
Being a big time fan, I did not think twice to pay 12 pounds for the stadium tour. I knew it will be well worth it. Even if you’re not a Manchester United fan, it’s worth the money.
Okay, so here it goes…
Old Trafford - Home of Manchester United
The photo above is the entrance into the Megastore. Behind it is the East Stand. Whenever we watch Manchester United play at Old Trafford, the camera is at the top of the South Stand. So that makes the East Stand on the right side of our TV screens, just in case you’re lost.
The entrance into Old Trafford is at the North Stand. Since North Stand is also known as the Main Stand, it houses the Red Cafe, museum and trophy room. The stadium tour starts at the North Stand. We exited into the stands somewhere at the letter E in the photo below (it’s taken from the South Stand).

At the letter E (photo above), the guide spent about 15 minutes telling us the history and background behind this ground and some facts about the team. After that, we walked along the North Stand and the East Stand towards the area reserved for the disabled. It must be one of the best views in the stadium, at the South East side of the pitch.

Then, we walked inside and towards the changing room. That’s probably the most exciting part of the entire tour!

Right opposite the changing room is the players’ lounge, exclusively for Manchester United players. Those who will start the game, the subs, their families and nannies will spend their time there 2 hours before the game relaxing and chatting.
