Could be an expensive trip for some next season, watching the football while the family go shopping for three hours in the Trafford Centre.
It is also only five minutes walk to City airport from there. So, if watching small aircraft take-off and land is your thing, then you are well catered for.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...Skyebantam and Bronco like this. -

The Salford RL club hate the stadium , when they moved grounds not many made the journey
Its way out of town with shite transport links and basically nothing around it , Salford went from 5k fans down to 1500 despite the owner Marwan Koocash at the time pumping millions into the teamStop hovering to collapse...

Access by public transport isn't good. It is a good 15-20 walk from the tram at the Trafford Centre. I understand the access issues if you choose to park at the ground, because you are trapped behind a busy junction. However, there are plenty of local streets about 5-10 minutes walk away, if you don't want to queue to get out.
It is pretty soulless there to be fair, but there is plenty of space and scope for development at that site.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...Dratsab taf likes this. -

Take the tram and walk a few extra minutes instead of giving yourself traffic headache.
Will do yourself added favour with the extra exercise and reduction in air pollution. Win win.Hulmebantam likes this. -

I actually saw the United team bus going down Stretford Road a couple of weeks ago and I did think that it cutting it a bit fine.
The AJ Bell stadium can be approached from the Eccles side along the A57 rather than through Manchester. There is plenty of space around the ground, notwithstanding the new Aldi, so they could develop it more should they ever get to the stage of regular 10k crowds.Stop hovering to collapse...

I did think that but perhaps @Hulmebantam may be able to add more.
I've not been personally but I know of many rugby fans that have complained it's a nightmare to get to and there is bugger all around it, assuming drinks wise, not that Salford FCs current ground as anything like that either -
Apparently the RL club are not happy with some of the press coverage as they have been ignored and not asked to comment

I'm not overly sure how suitable the current football ground would be for rugby, plus maximum capacity of just over 5k would be a damning indictment on the current state of rugby league.
Would have to be a fairly small pitch, ensuring sufficient clearance between the in goal area and the stands
