EVENT SUMMARY
16th-17th January 2016
The GPPT will be heading to Manchester on the 16th-17th January 2016 to the Old Trafford, Greater Manchester. Home of Manchester United, the stadium has a whopping capacity of 75,635 making it the largest club stadium of any football team in the United Kingdom.
The stadium was officially opened on 19th February 1910 and recorded it’s highest attendance of 76,962 in 1939 in an FA Cup semi-final match between Wolves and Grimsby Town.
Due to its proximity to Trafford Park industrial estate, Old Trafford got heavily damaged by German air raids during World War 2. It took eight years to rebuilt the stadium, the delays being caused by limited post-war resources, and during that time United played at Maine Road, the ground of rivals Manchester City.
In 1949, Man United moved back to a reconstructed, though smaller, Old Trafford. Incremental improvements and expansions were made in the following decades, which culminated in the complete renovation of the United Road (North) Stand in the 1960s.
In 2011, the stadium’s North Stand got renamed Sir Alex Ferguson Stand in honour of the club’s long-time manager.

How to get there
Old Trafford is located just over 2 miles south-west from Manchester’s city centre and just under 3 miles from Manchester Piccadilly Station. The entrance that we will be using for GPPT is next to the Museum Tours & Red Cafe at the North Stand.
If arriving by car from the M60, take junction 7&8 and turn onto Chester Road (A56) northbound. Follow Chester Road for about 2 miles and turn left onto Sir Matt Busby Way. Parking is at E2 and N2.
If using public transport, the stadium is best reached by Metrolink overground metro. From Piccadilly Station it is a 15-minute journey to Old Trafford station, which lies a 5-minute walk away from the stadium.
