End Of The Old Stretford End

Old Trafford in 1984
This is how Old Trafford looked from above in 1984. Note the stadium is completely covered on three sides, with the old Stretford End standing proudly alone on the right. Fans could walk freely all around the outside of the ground. The old Manchester United railway station can be seen at the top of the picture.

Stretford End Final Game 1992
In March 1992, the final game at Old Trafford for Manchester United infront of the famous old Stretford End. After this picture was taken, the stand was demolished to make way for the new all-seater Stretford End. The dream was over for many Manchester United fans. The end of an era!

The Scoreboard End

Old Scoreboard End
The Scoreboard End faces the Stretford End, and is the East Stand at Old Trafford. It was home to the diehard K-Stand United fans (many whom relocated to the Stretford End after changes were made to the ground). It also housed the 'away' fans enclosure in the South-East corner of the ground. It was formerly known as the Scoreboard End, because of the large scoreboard that resided until the late 1960s. In the 1970s an electronic scoreboard was installed.
