Have you never been to the stadium?
yes but it was over a year ago now and just wondered if they were still there or has that area started to be developed now.

To my eternal shame, most of my family were Utd fans but whilst tracing my family tree I did find connections to Sarah Ann Street, Beswick.
Not being familiar with the old Beswick I would love it if Sarah Ann Street was somewhere within the Etihad grounds as the irony would be fantastic but can't find definitively where it was or where that lies in relation to the ground ... can anyone shed a light?
Ironically I live in a small village called Winwick just outside Warrington and was made up when I traced relatives in the 17th century as having been born in the same village ..... spooky that we may have walked down the same lanes centuries apart!

Hi sam armstrong. Sarah ann st goes through the corner of the colin bell and the south stands and ends just behind the goals.
