Firstly we went to the Manchester United stadium in Old Trafford to go on a tour around the stadium and see the museum.

TOUR
We went out to the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand (North Stand) which has 25,000 seats and listened to a tour guide. There are actually 70,000 seats in all of the stands together.
Me at the seats
After that we went down to the players tunnel, but we didn’t walk down on to the pitch! Then we went to the changing room and took some photos of me and player shirts.
Me and the tactics board
Rooney’s shirt and me.
Some of the shirts
Afterwards we listened to the tour guide telling us about the Press Room. It was where the journalist would sit and talk about the game they played afterwards.
Then we went to the directors lounge where the Directors would have some food and drink. After that we went to the Directors Box and had a look around and then went to the old players tunnel used in 1910 – 1993.

Next we went to the Megastore and I got a Manchester United Museum & Tour Certificate.

Secondly we went in to the Exhibition Room which had lots of Guess The Youth Player’s inside it where the answer is under the flap.
Next up was the Clothes Room with lots of Manchester United Tops.
Afterwards we went in the Muinch Tunnel where the memorials of the players who died in a aeroplane crash on 6th February 1958 in Germany are.
The red ones died!!!!!!!!!!
The newspaper the next day
Who died?
I simply loved the tour so much I want to go there again and learn lots of different things! Though I don’t want to go and watch a match there because the seats are terribly uncomfortable. I could go there every day there isn’t a match because it is so much fun!!!!!! It would be crrammed full of people!
Uncomfortable seats? In the olden days we had to stand up & get squished!
A bit too much red for my liking….blue & white like the Bolton colours is much better 🙂
Well I actually like them like this apart from the uncomfartableness!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, you have done some exciting things during your school holidays. I’m glad you enjoyed going to Old Trafford, as your Daddy as always liked it too. I bet he saw some of the football tops that he used to have, I remember him having a really nice blue patterned one.
Love Grandma xx
Glad you liked the tour Dillon.You probably wouldn’t notice the hard seats whilst watching a game as you would hopefully be jumping up a lot with the rest of the crowd during an exiting match.
Did you climb the hundreds of steps up the North stand?Your daddy and i often climbed to the top tier to watch a game.
Dillon you really are so good at blogging! That was an excellent post- you must be very good at remembering things from your days out. It sounds like you had a great day at Old Trafford. I used to go with Grandad sometimes and I liked it there too. I loved your picture with the trophy. We have some with your daddy on like that when he was little! Do you think they will win more trophies this year? Xxx
Yes I do think they will win more trophies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s hope they don’t ! 🙂
WELL I HOPE THEY WILL! ☺
I hope they do too! 🙂 xxx
