Old Trafford

Was at Old Trafford on Saturday for the rugby final. Good game but the stadium well erm, on the outside looks fantastic. On the inside its quite impressive until you try to sit down. I aint the tallest of blokes but even I was not impressed with the leg room between each row of seats. Talk about cram em in & stack em high :roll:

And the prices for alcohol, pop or water were atrocious [-X cost me a bloody fortune even outside the stadium for some drinks & food. Make no wonder football is being priced out of a lot of peoples pockets.

The prices are a joke. They know they have the fans by the short & curlies.

I assume it is a new stadium, and looks like you are going the route of the NFL here. Used to go 3-4 times a year with friends but it got to the point I was spending 150-200 a pop. Sorry to hear you have once again adopted our ways.
