Would be nice if there was a 1680x945 version of it.
there´s quite a few of them on google images, you might be able to find one that suits
maybe we could merge this thread with toms tribute,as this thread has loads of great photos in it too.
Credit to yourself and Tom and anyone else who supplied material, outstanding threads, both of them. Really enjoyed my history lesson and makes Manchester United and Old Trafford even more magical
3 May 1993
Old Trafford had waited 26 years to acclaim the champions. The first Premier League title had been won the previous day. This was a time to party. A sensational atmosphere for a hungover United's 3-1 win over Blackburn.

I've been meaning to ask for ages, how was it won the day before and then we were playing again the next day?
Very, very, very impressive.
Villa lost at Oldham the day before, ruling them out of the title challenge.
A teaser for you all - anybody know where this is?
I was in the newbies when this was posted, but I know the answer - it was at St Helens' Knowsley Road stadium, where the (apparently dire) George Best film was made.
so it is, it even says it at the bottom of the picture (bit blurred though)
You are right about the film, dire in the extreme
How come so bad? whats it called?
Here's another photo I found recently. Not sure exactly when it was taken, but the gable had no mural on it for the first match, so this is obviously taken later (click, then go to "all sizes" for a bigger image):
Best, very disappointing. Made a few years ago now but I still see being shown on Sky movies
the pitch getting a bit of pampering
Would it be wrong to want to make love to the stadium? Theater of wet dreams 
Whens that taken?
I ask because im sure that when i first went to old trafford (probably 97) that there were still factories or remains of factories very close to the stadium, not the mass of car parks there is now!
I reckon it was probably taken in the winter of 1994/95 or 1993/94. Not sure what that marquee kind of thing is in the foreground though.
So what do the internals of OT look like? I've been to Several stadiums and its just mostly wide concrete hallways on each level.
i´ve never been into the inner sanctum of old trafford, has anyone has got any photos from a tour of old trafford??
Oh I remember the opening sooooo well!! Didn't have the cameras in those days so can't post any pics.!
can your old frazzled mind remember enough to describe it to us bobster??
So many great memories at a great stadium. Heres to the next 100!
Just like any other stadium inside. Concrete hallways, metal stairs, toilets, refreshment kiosks selling over-priced knats piss beer, etc. Nothing at all interesting, probably because it has all been rebuilt over the last couple of decades.
according to the M.E.N, this is Wilf McGuinness in the scoreboard end in the early 1950´s
German respected website kicker.de pays tribute to ''a 100 years Theatre of Dreams'' with this slideshow:

This is my all time OT favourite look, pic taken in 1994 i think.

It is, mentioned it on programme on MUTV last night. He was actually the "face in the crowd" and won the princely sum of 5 shillings
Happy Birthday Old Trafford.
