Take the Manchester United Museum and Stadium Tour at Old Trafford and you’ll soon know. It’s all about pride and passion, honour and glory, memories and mementos.
Cool post. 🙂

Interesting post Carol. It brings back memories of Saturday afternoons standing in the Stretford End (yes when we stood; seats were too expensive) in the early 80s. The facilities were much more basic then.

Aaah, the good old days. 🙂 Were you a poor student then? The whole place is very flash these days.

Worse. Unemployed. But towards the end of it I was able to interview one of the footballers for an article for the Manchester Evening News. He was actually one of my heroes and when I met him for a cup of tea at Old Trafford I could hardly speak!

Always had a soft spot for Man U, though I really dislike football and the accompanying noise these days. Goes back to that air disaster, I guess. 🙂

We’re not big fans of that brand of football, but to see such a well-known place and hear the stories told with such passion was really interesting.

Thanks Peta. It took us a while to decide which one we wanted to sit in. I had Rooney and Mr ET had Best.
