Old Trafford

On our last night in Manchester before leaving for Rome I took B to Old Trafford (Theatre of Dreams) to watch United play Lille in a Champion League Group match. Here she is with Kev & Cheryl drinking cans on Sir Matt Busby Way before the game.

Here we are just beofre kick-off. We had great seats and the atmosphere was fantastic. It was a pity about the game. I'd spent the last six years telling my wife how good this football team were and that one day I would take her to see a game at Old Trafford and that she would love it. Have to say United played the worst I'd seen them play in many years. The game was 0-0 and pretty boring. Wasn't that big a deal for me as 0-0 is better than loosing 0-1 but to an Aussie thats' the worst result possible as they are used to watching NRL and AFL and seeing lots of points on the scoreboard. Anyway the atmosphere was awesome and the stadium itself, well the best in Europe what more can I say.


Here we are after the game at the entrance to the stadium. Despite the result I still manged to get a smile out of B and I was just happy to be there after so long.
