The Stretford End

Directly opposite the Scoreboard End is the
famous Stretford End (West Stand), a part of the
ground that has a special place in the heart of
every Manchester United fan.  The new Stretford End
was completed in 1993 at a cost of 10.3 Million
pounds - a huge sum when compared with the £350,000
cost of building the first Cantilever Stand
in 1964.  Within the new stand is a massive 
banqueting suite - the International - which can
seat 400 people in one sitting.  The International
suite is available for a variety of functions, from
birthday and wedding parties to conferences
 and exhibitions. 




 
The Family Stand
The Family Stand is situated in the corner 
adjoining the South Stand and Stretford End, and is
next to the main tunnel.  Only parents and children
are allowed to sit here, and they must be either 
Manchester United Members or on an organised tour 
from a visiting club.  This is the only section of
the ground where United and visiting supporters are
not segregated. The capacity of the family stand is 4,500.  



Special entertainment is provided for children prior
to kick off, including Clowns, Magicians, Face 
Painters and the club mascot `Fred the Red'.  The
family stand is the only part of the ground where
smoking is not allowed.



Above the seating in the Family Stand sits the T.V.
Studio where television presenters provide match
coverage.  When the matches are not televised this
facility is available for hire to supporters.  The
view from here, as you would expect, is unsurpassed.
