Saints fans were delighted to see Charlie Austin coming off the bench and within seven minutes he won a free kick at the expense of Adnan Januzaj. Inside the ground the need for renovations becomes more clear, however the seats appeared to be respectable with okay views (not that I or any of my fellow NUFC fans did much sitting). This avoids the congestion of the traffic heading South'. //-->. We decided to make a weekend of it and stayed over in Altrincham. What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then the other sides of Old Trafford? Andy Syborn adds 'away fans are okay to drink in the Bridge at Sale. You can change at Trafford Bar for another tram to Old Trafford, but unless you are there early or on a non-matchday these are already likely to be pretty full. Once in the away end, the allocation seemed a lot smaller than it has done before. Having said that I would have done it ten times over after this game. There certainly didn't seem to be any friction between the home and away supporters, indeed it was all very relaxed. The atmosphere was very good from the Villa supporters throughout and made lots of noise.
I took the train from London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly where enroute I met my friend. That didn't last long though and by half time we were 2-1 down, and in the second half their ability become more apparent and they went on to win 4-1. Didn’t have time to track down a pub but grabbed a burger from a van before going into the ground, standard grub, what you’d expect. Can't remember what they were selling pints for... don't generally drink in the stadiums but the stewards were good enough. Manchester United fixture list (takes you to the BBC Sports Website). The station is located at Oxford Road, Manchester M1 6FU; 2.7 miles from the ground. We wore our colours and never felt in any way under any threat or had any negative comments, had a good chat with a local lad while queuing to buy water even he commented on the fact that it seems like a tourist attraction. The Man United fans weren't the best in terms of creating an atmosphere but I suppose for them it was a mundane sort of game. We had a lot to catch up on and time passed travelling with predictions and analysis of previous games. On arriving at Piccadilly we got another train to Old Trafford railway station, which is only a short walk away from Old Trafford. Only thing I did notice was how many United fans had half/half scarves?

The latter is a two minute train ride from Manchester Piccadilly.

It's a decent sized stadium, and I get that fans of some other clubs may be in awe of the size of it, but being a Newcastle United fan I'm blessed to sit in a big and fairly modern stadium for home games, so it didn't give me that awe, and I could recognise where it needs a little work. It was a very entertaining game, it ended 0-0 but both sides had half-decent chances to win it. Just as we started singing "que sera, sera" United scored and it went to penalties. From there we took a taxi to Salford Quays to find a pub before heading to the ground. Behind the East Stand is the impressive looking United Trinity Statue. All very civilised. I had really good impressions of the ground, both by the sight of it and also its structure. You are only 200 yards away from the Drinking Capital which is Eccles town centre!'. We were going to Wembley!

The stadium is very good and very accommodating to travelling away fans. View is excellent, some parts of the away end are very high up but where we were sat was awesome. You can view the guide via accessable.co.uk/organisations/manchester-united-football-club.
