Tram to Old Trafford
Quote: "
Trams travel every 12 minutes every day of the week. The nearest tram station to Old Trafford (via the Altrincham line and called Old Trafford) is located next to Lancashire County Cricket Club on Warwick Road, which leads straight up to Sir Matt Busby Way and takes about a 10 minutes' walk. A useful tip comes from Chris Kilcourse who adds

Get off at Old Trafford. Follow all the other fans down the road, past LCCC cricket ground and down towards The Trafford and Bishop Blaize pubs at the end of Sir Matt Busby Way. Its on straight road and you cant get lost. Therl be many people selling flags, scarves etc all along the road and its definately the best place to go pre-match.
DO NOT get off at Pomona, its crap and although it will be quieter, youre not going to the Grand Final to have a snooze.
10 Minute walk from Old Trafford Station and youre right in the thick of it. See you all in the Trafford pub.

Well they run for Man Utd games so I am assuming they run on Saturday. But I don't know for sure. |

Just spoke to my local station, and they said they only run for the football, and won't be running on Saturday. |

I'm sure they've run trains between Manchester city centre and the Football Ground stop in previous years for Grand Final day. I'd be very surprised if they don't confirm something about them this week.

Stevo on a Craig Smith intersept, "that was like throwing tomato seeds out of a moving train window and coming back a year later and tomatoes have grown!"
Eddies reaction, "I don't know what he's been taking but i wants some"
Wayne Rooney, meanwhile, says he has failed to be gripped by England's rugby union World Cup bid.
"I've not seen it," said the England striker. "I've been watching the rugby league.":26079.jpg |

usually there is a old trafford special from oxford road to old trafford and the station is right along side the North stand. I've used it before on grand finals and for the football, can get very manic after the game when everyone is leaving at similar times, however if you've won the pub crawl from old trafford to manchester city centre is often more fun!!
If you are going to use this route buy a return ticket as it makes it easier when leaving.

If your getting the train into Manchester - The big red "Granada TV" that tells you you've arrived is no more. They've taken it down!

[quote="Headingley Rhino"]Great win yesterday at our place, there is no denying you are probably the best team in SL as you have proved it all year so I think it's justice done that you have got to Old Trafford. I thought wigan was excellent in the second half and showed why you guys are top dogs this year.: |
