My visit to Old Trafford football stadium Manchester
21st April 2025
Last year we had a visit, at Christmas, from my son. Usually he is in Sydney Australia and contact is made over the Internet. But this year he actually came to see us, which was brilliant.
We were not sure what to get him for Christmas because we knew that, as he was travelling around the world, he wouldn’t be able to carry anything of any size. So we asked him if there was anything he particularly wanted to do while he was here. He said that he would like to see old Trafford Stadium .
We decided to get him a stadium tour for his Christmas present. To make his life easier, I decided to take him in the car. I also decided to take my Leica M240 with me to take some photos.
Nature smiled on us and it was a foggy day! Not so good for him perhaps but photographically I couldn’t have asked for more.
Before this adventure, I knew nothing about the location of the stadium although, obviously, the name is very famous. But I was not aware that it is on the banks of the Bridgewater Canal. This meant that the opportunities for photographs were really quite good.
I have an album of my photos from the day on my flickr account and it can be seen here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBWBfY
