My friend Ann found that her hair was falling out, which is why everyone now calls her "Wig Ann"…read more This team is named after her. She's still very athletic though, which is why we call her "Wig Ann, Athletic." First-Hand Experience: Wigan is one of my fave underdog teams. I've seen them play once at the DW and twice away from home around the country. They have always represented themselves well. I last saw them in 2011. Now that they have fallen from grace, I wish them a speedy recovery. Their owner's oft-racist and oft-unwise remarks and tirades are the only reason I give them 4 instead of 5. That, and the fact that they can't fill a stadium. This team, I have mixed feelings about. Roberto Martinez and Paul Jewell really put them on the map, two of my favourite managers. But their owner Dave Whelan, famous for making meat pies, is a bit of a racist and nationalist, and gets on my nerves sometimes. I also respect him in other ways though. They were founded in the 1930s so they're a relatively new team. They play in blue and white and are called the Latics. They were in the Prem for ages, until they randomly, crazily won the FA Cup in 2013, and were relegated the same season. That's the only glory the club has ever had, after being the League Cup runner up in 2006. So well done to them for that, what a fairy tale. The stadium is often empty and the owner is questionable, and for that reason I'll give them a 4 instead of 5.

For locals you can play football many different ways here with indoor and outdoor pitches with stands that cater for the fans with every home game. For those who want the best deal around though, its 70 pounds for a year's membership in the gym. This moderately equipped space has plenty of cardio machines from bikes to rowers. There's a small weights section that can become cramped quite often. But you get what you pay for and at £70 this place is a steal. The gym also has a big car park, bike locks, showers and changing facilities and the staff are very helpful. This could be the tip of a new fitness regime!

It's losing its mcfc branding soon due to mcfc's new facilities in East Manc. It's staying open though so don't worry too much. Losing the branding is no bad thing if you're a red like me

Super supportive fans and very helpful staff…read more The grounds are nice, the stadium area for the local team the Sale Sharks is very clean and it's fantastic are super supportive for all visitors to the stadium grounds. While we were watching Noah, we got to pregame with the Sharks fans in prep for their rugby union match. As the matched approached, more and more fans arriv d, but they were all nice and orderly. I didn't get any flack from wearing my Liverpool gear up here in the Manchester area where the Sharks call home. I did enjoy the pump up songs that the fans here have prepping for their match. There were food trucks all over, and one of the sponsors was Bach 95. The lagers were cold, but warm d up my soul. The kids were thoroughly ashed by this local te, but played it out with their heads held high. British footie is a lifestyle, The stadium support staff wear these jackets that say "I'm here to help." Bathrooms were also small here but clean. I would return to see the Sharks play just on the tailgating alone.

Sal Ford is actually Harrison Ford's brother, and he opened this stadium after the city was named…read moreafter him. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - my family (Mum's side) live about 5 mins from here. Well, maybe 6 or 7 family members do. And while they all like either United or Liverpool, they are even more passionate about - ugh - Rugby. And this team means so much to them (Salford Rugby) because Salford thinks of itself as its own city, and so this Ruggers team (sorry, ew) is the only thing Salford has to be proud about that isn't named after Manchester in a sporting sense. Their stadium is tiny but it feels like home to me because I've been here more than a few times with family. I don't watch Rugby, but if I did, it'd be with my Mancunian family at this stadium. It's a nice facility and the pride of Salford. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I'll post later. Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** My mother was born in Salford and half of her family still lives there. She used to live in Eccles, and I lived in Salford for a year. I have close connections to the area and have been there many times. So for this reason, I have to give the very presence of a stadium here 4 stars. I don't like Rugby, and it's not the most impressive stadium, but it's new-ish and very popular with the locals, and for that reason, I give it a 4.

Pretty much your one-stop-shop for anything sport related. You can play tennis (indoor and…read moreoutdoor), play football, run (they have an outdoor track) or workout (they have a fully equipped gym). I've been coming here for years and have pretty much tried all they have to offer. Most often we'd come and play football, they have 5, 5 aside pitches, a 7 aside pitch and an 11 aside (or near enough) pitch - and rental prices are pretty competitive with other options around Bolton. They have a nice little cafe inside as well so you can grab a coffee before or after and they have sandwiches too!

An all-weather astro turf pitch. The pitch can be illuminated for use in the evenings, and public…read moretoilets are located within the changing rooms (dependent on opening times). Played here 2 or 3 times. Nice quality pitch. Fences are high so less likely football is kicked over - if your not good. However, if you do kick it over, it could take at least a couple minutes to get it back. If in the most inconvenient place, even longer! You can either hire half the pitch - suitable for about 8-9 a side or the full match - for 11 a side games. The car park is at one end of the pitch - on a previous visit, the "gate" in the fence could be opened. This time, it was locked so you have to walk the long way around - only a problem if your lazy! Also, if people are playing on the full size pitch and the goals over the fence, there is a risk of car(s) being hit.

Power League Ardwick is the closest 5-a-side football centre to Manchester town centre. Power…read moreLeague is the biggest 5-a-side football company in the world and you can tell why. Compared with other places to play in Manchester, for example the Armitage Centre, its just a cut above. Pitches are either sand-based Astroturf or (if you're lucky) the fake grass with the rubbery bits (technical term). Either of these are preferable (and safer) to the concrete of the Armitage Centre. They run leagues every evening of the week for teams of various levels. Once your team have played a few games they'll put you in the right league so you're playing competitive and worthwhile games every week. This is the main thing that makes Power League worth the money. There's nothing worse than winning 25-0 one week and losing 18-1 the next (actually happened to me at the Armitage). You also get a referee which makes a huge difference. Also, they've got a TV so you can watch a bit of football as it should be played after your miserable attempt (if United are on)

What a dream to be able to see a Manchester United game here! We travelled across the world to…read morecelebrate our son's 30th Bday with friends at a Man U game. The nose bleed seats views were not actually bad. Seats were a little narrow and small, but can't complain. FYI alcohol is not allowed inside the stadium for good reason. Lots of yellow jacket security, safety was not an issue. Note most of the stadium was covered, so if rain, you will not be soaked. But do bundle up like we did in the winter time : D After the game, we stuck around a bit for photo opps, but once the game is over , it is literally over, no lingering .. they kinda kick you out. Went to the loo and employees shouted to hurry it up to all of us! Thankfully the merchandise store was open after the game, located outside of the stadium. Easy access to and from stadium with the trams, but expect it to be sardine jam packed.

Iconic! I'm not even a big football gal, but my husband is a die-hard for Manchester United, so…read moreI've always understood the significance of this stadium and the club that occupies it. We were back in the UK visiting his family and decided to go for an official tour. Unfortunately the team was playing in Newcastle during our visit, but the tour alone was genuinely really cool. Plus, they're building a new stadium so it was great to come here before this one gets retired. For it being an older stadium, I thought it was in fantastic shape. Very well-kept. A little smaller than I expected (maybe because I'm used to NFL stadiums?), but it holds 74k+ people, making it the largest club football stadium in the UK! Finding the parking was a tad confusion, but that's always the case at big statiums isn't it. Once we did, we made our way around to the 'tour" entrance and were immediately greeted by the sweetest of staff! They set us up with ourlayard passes and took us straight to where the tour kicked off, which was up in the stands overlooking the field. Along the way our wonderful guide talked through tons of fascinating and fun history, we got a chance to go down along the pitch, sit in the team's seats, come out through the famous tunnel, and even explore their changing room. There's also a full museum on the second floor to explore as part of your ticket, adjacent to the on-site restaurant. It was packed with memorabilia and more history to take in. Even if you're like me, and not necessarily a huge football fan, taking the tour is worth it.
