Oh it's my firefox browser, sorry.

Now i see it. It is a bit far from the mark....:D

Actually it is in Trafford - Salford is north of the Manchester Ship Canal.

Re: Where is Old Trafford?
 

Ok, that makes sense, I just remember walking home from there to where i lived in Salford, and that it's not manchester, so to speak. And hence the 'old trafford'. But i have to admit that i didn't realise trafford was a city.

thanks for the correction ;)

I had the nightmare of living on Sir Matt Busby Way, when I worked in Manchester for 6 months being a Leeds United supporter. Its nice to see that "the scum" days of winning the league year after year are finally over.

I thought it was somewhere in Surrey...

Re: Where is Old Trafford?
 

it would be more convenient for their fans if it was in Surrey - or are they all Chelsea fans now?

Re: Where is Old Trafford?

City of Salford
Trafford
Rochdale

I can understand that (scum is a bit harsh tho :p), I used to serve the players and directors, who all knew i supported Everton. Not an easy thing to own up to, considering they had the treble at the time and Everton were languishing (as they are now) at the bottom!!:D

At least Bill Kenworth was proud of me :p

I don't know, sometimes I would have preferred that! When we first moved from Australia to England, my brother started supporting Man U (they weren't doing that well back then) & so we all took a liking to them & I actually started following football myself (btw, I'm still in love with Ronaldo!!!). Many years later, when they were doing their best at winning everything that was going, I was in secondary school & when the boys would see my little Man U things, they would all take the piss & call me a glory supporter!!! Funny thing is, I'd probably be supporting them longer than they had their teams!!!

Re: Where is Old Trafford?
 

I couldn't let it lie. I had to write to the sports editor at The Denver Post and tell him the error of his ways. I've snipped a bit of the end of this but you get the gist! A victory I naively call my own. :)

Nice one :beer: if only to let them know that London is not the only place in England.
