Our students in form 8EBR enjoyed a trip around Manchester United’s home ground of Old Trafford last week.

Their stadium tour was a whole class reward as they were the form who had collected the most donations for Salford Foodbank during our Harvest collection drive back in October.

Everyone had a great time and two of our students have written a review of their experience;

I really enjoyed our tour at Old Trafford and it was really nice to spend time together as a form. I really enjoyed getting to see where the players get changes before their matches, where they play and where the interviews take place after matches and I loved getting to sit down where the players and coaches sit during a match. We learned so many interesting facts about Old Trafford and the history of previous players. We found out where the tunnel was before they built the new one. I loved acting out the two teams when they walk out onto the pitch and they hear as they come out. This was a great opportunity and we all really enjoyed ourselves.

When we went to Old Trafford on the tour it was an amazing experience and it was fun with my friends to see the inside of such a brilliant football club. I also liked it when we went through the players tunnel because we got to experience the real atmosphere of a live game and what it would feel like to be a real footballer with thousands of fans coming to watch you. Overall it was an amazing experience and I am glad that we went on that trip.
