Your coach driver on the way up didn't happen to have a Palace badge on, did he?

Throughly enjoyed it, did feel smaller than I expected-obviously wasn't though, never sat down once in the 2hours I was there, couldn't see were screens could go due to every bit of ground had seats !, bought a can of stella from the bar/off license outside the ground but then stopped by steward from leaving with it ? so gave it back and left ! should have asked for money back-DUH !
However easy to get in electric wands passed sniffer dogs ignored me and only got a quick frisk at the turnstile
What really annoyed me was Virgin un reserving seats on the 10am train leading to a free for all following a cancellation of another service -

They didn't say that - they said that reservations were being loaded to the system and to take seats as per your reservation.
We were one of the first on the train and it was still marked as Glasgow, next stop Milton Keynes. We were very fortunate as I noticed one small board on the Euston concourse showed the 10:00am was going from Platform 3 whilst all other boards, including the big board, still didn't have platform info.
We legged it to Platform 3 as I didn't have a seat reservation, whereas [MENTION=236]Papa Lazarou[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2223]e77[/MENTION] did, and we had our choice of tables in the unreserved carriage as the train was all but empty.
Good one Edna but like many coach drivers who take us away he stayed in his coach during the match. I hope the female toilets were better.On the 18.00 return they declassified a 1st class carriage - did you see any of that action? I was tempted to leg it up there
and see.
Knackered old ground poor facilities, cramped, soulless for most of the game, seats built for the Japanese/Chinese sized loyal supporters- overall classless like their manager and the club as a whole. Hate them with a passion, along with Chelsea. Even prefer Palace to that lot of plastics.
That's the sort of partisan dissing I have ben looking for on this thread. Excellent judgment and well communicated.

My first time there and sat in the Alex Ferguson Stand amongst the Utd fans
Soul less stadium,cramped seating, no replays on a screen or team lineups etc
Stand full of day trippers and the woman behind us didn’t even know what team we were.
Sterile atmosphere as well and empty seats all around us.
Won’t go back there in a hurry as a neutral
Just hope Mr Bloom doesn’t ever sell our soul to corporate hell

Last time I was there it was single tier all the way around , 94 I think and another 1-0 loss to a Giggs free kick . Kennedy should have had a penalty in the opening minutes .

Great day out. Fantastic performance. Wonderful stadium, but poor vocal home support ( like Anfield) from the supposedly best supported team in the world. Best BHA chant of the day " we support our local team" . No points, but a selfie with Peter Ward was a nice memento.

The most curious thing..
Nasty cheap looking stadium built out of breeze block.

Was in the wheelchair section and saw this, was still in the wheelchair concourse indoors 10 mins after the game and the lady in question was still on the receiving end of the mother of all ballockings from the police, with stewards and united officials in suits in attendance. Going my the amount of tears and the shock on the face of the person in the wheelchair who I think was her mother when lifetime bans were mentioned should this happen again, this seemed like a good example of lesson learned via a swift and harsh talking to.
United were certainly taking the complaint seriously.

Just out of interest (for when we go back next season) what Tram Stop did you use and how long did you have to queue for?

Piccadilly to Old Trafford (next to the cricket ground) and on the way back got off at Piccadilly gardens and walked as the tram went on different route to Bury.

Old Trafford and about 30minutes as we were in the buy a ticket queue. Surprisingly quick exit, quicker if you already have a ticket.

Only two ladies toilets in the away end! Small concourse. Ugly stadium. In all I really disliked it and didn't find it at all impressive. However, the stewards were pleasant and friendly - the only redeeming feature! I found the match day experience at the Liberty Stadium much better. No wonder the latter was first in a poll for best match experience in the Premier League last season.
