Block N240 at Old Trafford — view and verdict
Halfway view with altitude. A rung higher and further back than N140, still an excellent halfway seat with the full pattern of play laid out.
★★★★☆ — Excellent · ranked #3 of 10 blocks we rate at Old Trafford
The view from Block N240, in words
Angle. You sit side-on along the pitch, the classic view: the whole width of the game is in front of you and both ends are a similar distance away.
Distance and height. You sit about 62 metres from the centre spot and roughly 22 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. Sir Alex Ferguson Stand — Tier 2. A rung higher and further back than N140, still an excellent halfway seat with the full pattern of play laid out.
Who Block N240 suits
Tactical watchers. If that sounds like you — and the price is in line with its 4.3/5 rating rather than a premium block's — this is a sound buy.
Who should look elsewhere
Very few people: this is one of the ground's best blocks. Only skip it if the price is inflated well beyond neighbouring blocks with similar ratings.
