Block E232 at Old Trafford — view and verdict
High behind the east goal. Similar in spirit to W205 without the Stretford End soundtrack. Perfectly decent; rarely anyone's first choice.
★★★★☆ — Decent · ranked #8 of 10 blocks we rate at Old Trafford
The view from Block E232, 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 70 metres from the centre spot and roughly 20 metres up. That mid height is often the sweet spot — close enough for faces at the near end, high enough to read the game.
Tier. East Stand — Tier 2. Similar in spirit to W205 without the Stretford End soundtrack. Perfectly decent; rarely anyone's first choice.
Who Block E232 suits
Full-pitch end view. If that sounds like you — and the price is in line with its 3.5/5 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.
