Good to know when visiting the Old Trafford cricket ground
When you're visiting the Old Trafford cricket ground, there are a few factors to keep in mind. You'll find a spacious car park onsite, but you'll have to pay for your parking. This is true for match days and days without matches.
If you're looking to take the Metrolink to the stadium, you won't have to go very far. The Old Trafford tram stop is directly outside of the ground, so it'll take less than 5 minutes for you to walk inside. If you're travelling by train, it's typically best to stop at the Manchester Piccadilly, Deansgate Castlefield or Victoria stations and take the tram from there.
