The Old Trafford playing field is surrounded by stands, officially known as the North, East, South and West Stands.
Each of the stands has a minimum of two tiers, except the South Stand, which, because of construction restrictions has just one.
The lower tier of each stand is split into Lower and Upper sections, the Lower sections having been converted from standing room only terraces in the early 1990s.
The most well-known stand at Old Trafford is the West Stand, more famously, known as the Stretford End.
Originally designed to hold 20,000 fans, the Stretford End was the last stand to be covered and also the last remaining all-terraced stand at the ground before the forced upgrade to seating in the early 1990s.

These days, the Red Army is nothing like it was in the 1970’s & 80’s.
This Manchester United supporters club, now has a fan base of over 300 million fans across the world.
