GO Football in Manchester |
|
|
|
 |
With two top Premiership
teams and plenty of amateur activity, not a Saturday goes
by in Manchester without hearing supporters chanting famous
football songs. There is great rivalry between the Reds of Manchester United and the Blues of Manchester City, but wherever your loyalties lie there’s a great game of football waiting for you. Why not head to Old Trafford [map] to catch a glimpse of Van Nistelrooy, Rooney and Ronaldo playing their hearts out in the famous Theatre of Dreams? Here you can also visit the Manchester United Museum and Trophy Room, and enjoy a tour of the world-class stadium. If you’re a True Blue, then get along to the City of Manchester Stadium, the new home of Manchester City Football Club. On a match day you can watch James, Fowler and Sommeil in action or on weekdays you can enjoy a tour of the stadium, which hosted the 2002 Commonwealth Games. There are plenty of other league football clubs in neighbouring towns, so if you can’t get tickets for a Premiership game why not watch Stockport County or Oldham Athletic instead. In the city centre there is the usual choice of famous name sports shops, including JJB Sports and Allsports, where you can pick up the latest United or City strip. If you’d rather show off your soccer wizardry than watch someone else showing off theirs then there are plenty of amateur and five-a-side teams always looking for new members. There are also indoor sports halls at leisure centres, including Altrincham, Belle Vue and Abraham Moss, for hire and the Albert Park Synthetic Pitch in Salford. For a family kick about why not visit one of Manchester’s 130 parks, such as Heaton Park or Chorlton Park, where you’ll find plenty of space to try and bend it like Beckham. So whether you’re a spectator or a professional footballer in the making, there’s a lot to learn about the nation’s favourite sport in Manchester. |
