it wont be any different to any other match day, theres loads of places that turn into car parks on match day.....my advise is avoid the city centre completely. if you are coming from scotland, from the m60, follow ashton-u-lyne (junction 21 i think), then get on ashton old road and head towards manchester city centre, that way you will avoid the traffic, ignore the signs to the stadium when they tell you to turn right, look out for a large place on the left called K2, just after a big junction. ditch the car there for a fiver and walk about 3/4 a mile to the stadium and watch the millions of people going the opposite direction to you at zero mph. ive never been to the stadium but im told its an absolute mare to get out of the official car park after a game.
for some reason everyone seems to head into the centre then try the short drive to the stadium and it turns into gridlock everytime......working at planet and living near ashton i have the joy of driving past both old trafford and eastlands on match day
