Fans Impressed With New Quadrant

A record crowd of 70,908 witnessed United's crucial 2-0 win over Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Not since 27 December 1920 have as many fans packed themselves into the stadium; back then, 70,504 saw United's (old) First Divison match against Aston Villa.

The full opening of the North-west quadrant saw Sunday's attendance surpass a record which has stood for 85 years.

ManUtd.com spoke to some of the lucky few who had a ticket in the new section of the ground and they were all hugely impressed with their matchday experience...

"The view is fantastic and my wife and I were overwhelmed when we first got to our seats. We've sat in most areas of the ground but I think it gives you a completely different angle from which to watch the game compared to anywhere else which is great. You're able to see how the game is developing which makes a big difference. The stairs were a bit of a problem - there are a lot (!) - but actually getting into the ground was very easy with the new ticket swipe machine. There's also a nice little extra with the view across Salford Quays from the concourse inside the block. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our day."
Chris & Ann Bell from Grimsby

"We were very impressed with the view and I really like the bowl-effect of the ground now. There was a good atmosphere amongst the fans and even though you're high up, you still feel very much part of the crowd. We'd definitely come and sit here again."
Chris George with sons Joshua and Sam from Buckinghamshire

"I've been to a lot of other Premiership grounds like Chelsea, Tottenham and Charlton, but I'd have to say this is the best - the view is brilliant. Getting into the ground was very easy and quick and I thought the ticket swipe machine was top-notch! There was a good selection of efreshments available and we were served very promptly. I'm very much looking forward to coming again."
Hung Hua and Jason To from London

"I'd definitely say it's one of the best views in the ground. Getting into the ground was very easy and the facilities were excellent inside. Everything was very clean and the stewards were all very helpful."
Paul Fleetwood and son Tom from Stockport

"The view was really impressive and the angle from which you see the game is quite unique. We usually sit at the back of East Stand Tier 2 and even though we were at the same height up in the quadrant, the pitch seemed closer. I'd like to see the ticket swipe entry introduced throughout the ground - it was very easy to get into the stadium. We look forward to sitting in the quadrant again."
Mr and Mrs Laurie from Worcester
