Block E132 at Old Trafford — view and verdict
Family-stand end, calmer feel. The East Stand lower is home to the family area and generally calmer than the Stretford End. Behind-goal caveats apply: one end close, one end far.
★★★★☆ — Decent · ranked #7 of 10 blocks we rate at Old Trafford
The view from Block E132, in words
Angle. You sit behind the goal (or behind the stage end at arena events) and look straight down the length of the pitch: one goal is close, the other is a long way off.
Distance and height. You sit about 57 metres from the centre spot and roughly 9 metres up. That is a low seat: close to the action at your end and fully in the atmosphere, with a flatter angle for judging distance at the far end.
Tier. East Stand — Tier 1 (lower). The East Stand lower is home to the family area and generally calmer than the Stretford End. Behind-goal caveats apply: one end close, one end far.
Who Block E132 suits
Families and first visits. If that sounds like you — and the price is in line with its 3.6/5 rating rather than a premium block's — this is a sound buy.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone paying a premium for it. This is a perfectly decent block at a fair price, but Block N140(4.6/5) is the upgrade to compare it against.
