I don't post on here much but I have been on this site just about every day for the past 5 or so years. I am from the US and have never stepped foot in the UK, let alone Old Trafford. I have been a Manchester United fan for over 10 years and do my best to watch every single match. I have to watch most of the matches well after the final whistle has been blown so I have to completely stay away from social media so I don't ruin the game.
Being a United fan overseas can be frustrating. United have been to the states a few times over the past several years and I have been unable to make it to one single match. I feel as though I would give my right arm to go and experience Old Trafford on game day. I listen to several football podcasts just to keep in with news and commentary that is not readily available here in the states. Many times I hear things that I have an idea what it is...but don't exactly know the traditions behind it. For instance, this may sound ridiculous to most of you, but I am unsure of what the significance is to the Stretford End of the stadium.
I am asking the caf to fill me in. As a supporter who will probably never get a chance to come and experience an afternoon at Old Trafford, fill me in on some United traditions, legends, and anything else that you feel is important for a United fan to know...no matter where they live.
Thanks and come on United!
