Old Trafford

About

Old Trafford sits in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, immediately southwest of Manchester city centre. The area combines terraces and a commercial strip along Talbot Road, with local shops, schools and community centres close to residential streets. Transport links include the Old Trafford Metrolink stop on the Eccles line and road links to the A56 and nearby motorways. On non-event days the streets follow a typical urban pattern; on match days footfall and opening hours change and policing and crowd-management measures are visible.

Two major sports grounds are within a short walk of one another: the football stadium used by Manchester United and the county cricket ground used by Lancashire. Talbot Road and Sir Matt Busby Way form the route fans commonly take between the two, and a collection of pubs, club offices and training facilities sit near the stadium perimeter. Event planning, local clubs and community projects all use shared spaces and halls, making sport an integral part of how the neighbourhood functions.
