Bobby Charlton's Theatre Of Dreams

Old Trafford (the nickname The "Theatre of Dreams" was given by Sir Bobby Charlton).


The United Trinity, a statue of Manchester United's "holy trinity" of Best, Law and Charlton.

Old Trafford is a football stadium in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, and the home of Manchester United. With a capacity of 75,765, Old Trafford is the second-largest football stadium in England after Wembley, and the eleventh-largest in Europe.

The ground, nicknamed the Theatre of Dreams by Bobby Charlton, has been United's permanent residence since 1910, with the exception of an eight-year absence from 1941 to 1949, following the bombing of the stadium during the Second World War. During this period, the club shared Maine Road with local rivals Manchester City.

The ground underwent several expansions in the 1990s and 2000s, including the addition of extra tiers to the North, West and East Stands, which served to return the ground almost to its original capacity of 80,000. Future expansion is likely to involve the addition of a second tier to the South Stand, which would raise the capacity to over 90,000.

The stadium's record attendance was recorded in 1939, when 76,962 spectators watched the FA Cup semi-final between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Grimsby Town.

United Review: Once in a lifetime experience!
It's an award-winning tourist destination, a magnificent stadium, an interesting day out and home to the most successful team in English football.

The stadium tour is excellent. It starts in the trophy room (which is obviously very full) and museum, your guide then leads you inside the 'Theatre of Dreams' to take in the awe-inspiring view of the England's second biggest stadium in all its glory. There are plenty of photo ops aside the pitch here. You then head down to pitchside where you can sit in the dugout a-la Sir Alex, before heading back outside to learn a bit more about United's moving and romantic history as you walk beneath the Munich clock and through the tunnel to take the players' entrance. This leads you into the players' lounge and then the changing rooms where you can have your photo taken aside your favourite player's shirt. Then it's time for food in the great Red Cafe, and obviously the tour ends in the megastore where you can fill your boots with Manchester United logo-emblazoned anything.
