I was two rows from the back for the World Cup match when England played Afghanistan. My wife and I had to have help getting our picnic supplies up there it was so steep. Never moved for the whole of the match, but did see that epic Morgan innings.No wonder they want to do away with Old Trafford in the Ashes. Constant rain and stands made of scaffolding.

The Hilton Hotel is a huge improvement on what used to be there. Don't mind the party stand, increases chances of fans getting tickets and it's a good atmosphere.
Naming a floodlight after a cricketer is very tacky though.
Why does the the thought of Old Trafford in Ashes, give me a nice warm feeling?No wonder they want to do away with Old Trafford in the Ashes. Constant rain and stands made of scaffolding.
