Block S122 at Old Trafford — view and verdict
Closest side view in the stadium. The south stand is the smallest, so its lower seats are the closest side seats at Old Trafford, right by the tunnel and benches. You will hear the coaching staff all match.
★★★★☆ — Excellent · ranked #2 of 10 blocks we rate at Old Trafford
The view from Block S122, 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 47 metres from the centre spot and roughly 8 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. Sir Bobby Charlton Stand — lower. The south stand is the smallest, so its lower seats are the closest side seats at Old Trafford, right by the tunnel and benches. You will hear the coaching staff all match.
Who Block S122 suits
Feeling part of the touchline. If that sounds like you — and the price is in line with its 4.4/5 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.
