OLD TRAFFORD

NAME: Old Trafford LOCATION: Salford, Manchester, UK NICKNAME: Theatre of Dreams CAPACITY:  67, 603 (seated)

Old Trafford is the largest league ground in England.  What has made this ground special (especially since the re-development of the Old Stretford end) is that the stands go all round the corners so the ground is completely enclosed.  For many years only Wembley was any competition to this stadium, but tothers are now coming up on the rails such as the Stadium of Light in Sunderland. The ground has seen a lot of development work in recent years, with three stands being re-developed.  These stands are huge three tier stands that now dwarf the older Main (South) Stand.  Both the East and West Stands at opposite ends of the ground look almost identical.  The only obvious difference being that the sponsors name (Vodafone) has been added to the seats in the East Stand, whilst it is Umbro on the West Stand.  The ground looks a little imbalanced with the smaller Main Stand looking somewhat out of place with its larger naighbours.
