|  | In March my husband and I were lucky enough to make a trip to Manchester, home of the mighty Red Devils of Manchester United FC. We toured Old Trafford, saw a match, and spent a day exploring the city of Manchester. Sadly, United played poorly and lost the match (d'oh! 1-0 to Middlesbrough!), but we had a wonderful time. Come along and visit the Theatre of Dreams! |

Glad you discovered a love of football instead of the funny sports most Americans play! Shame you chose Man Utd though! :) Very good travelogue, even if it is by a 'Red'!! :) | ettenaj Thu Jun 10, 2004 19:24 UTC
you have captured some nice pictures of Manchester, sorry I am not a football fan so Old Trafford does nothing for me | jto Wed May 26, 2004 13:40 UTC
Great opportunity to see them play. It doesnt matter if they lose its the chance to give the support and to see those players. Giggsy, Scholsy, Ruud and Ronaldo :). Im a huge Man U fan myself but never been to Manchester. :( ONE UNITED!!! |
