I'll be at the game on Saturday,

Does anyone have any decent places to park or does every one join the madness of dealing with it once you get there.

If I were you, I’d park in the city, and get the train to and from old Trafford. Train goes straight to the stadium on match days. Getting out of Trafford in a car after a game is an absolute nightmare.

Unfortunately since they made the local estate permit only, it's a nightmare. If you have time, get there early and park at Frankie and Benny's, then jump on the tram into town for a couple of hours or find a watering hole near the ground.

Others might have a better suggestion, I've found it a nightmare for the past couple of seasons.

where are you travelling from BIG V? The only time I drove up I stopped at the premier inn next to the stadium which is ideal as long as you can stay overnight otherwise I always get the train into Piccadilly then grab a taxi or hop on the metro, its much easier than driving up mate.

There are decent car parks at Media City, maybe at Booths in the multi storey, not too cheap (maybe £7) but you can then walk over to the ground from there without having to mess about with the tram (about a 20 min walk) . You are far enough away then to miss the match traffic.

Enjoy the game Big V, I will give you a wave, I'm the guy in the red shirt with Chevrolet on the front.

Can park at the matchstick man pub for £5 but it fills up a couple of hours before the game it's about 10-15 mins away there's also parking for other restaurants there for £6.50 on the pay and display.

Thanks for the information guys, I'll show my Mrs and let her decide as this is her first time. Took me 3 years to get her to old Trafford 😁.

I park outside CEF in the industrial park. Free and quick to get away.

I have parked for free at the Metrolink station (Navigation Road) and then got the tram. Only 5-6 stops and takes 15-20 mins. Plus if you are early you can stay on the team and go into the City. You don’t get caught in all the traffic on the way home either. Just depends on which direction you are coming from etc.

It depends on how much you enjoy a good walk before and after the game. The only time I used the train it took 4 or 5 of them going by before we could get on one. As long as the weather is half way decent I prefer to pay to park and walk. If you're a very long way off you will be consoled by the fact that the traffic may have died down a bit by the time you get to your car.

Shouldve been honest Eric and said he was a steward there.

I was n the middle of Manchester one day and I asked a guy what's the fastest way to get to old Trafford and he said a helicopter.
