Article Name

Surely this should be Old trafford Stadium, as it is a stadium, and not a football, also it is not exclusivley used for football matches. I propose a move to Old Trafford (stadium). Anyone have any points? Philc _T^E_C^I 22:32, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Well given that it isn't actually called Old Trafford Stadium, but rather just "Old Trafford" I think the current article title is appropriate. Or a better option if it were to be moved would be simply to "Old Trafford" without the football qualifier as there is nothing else on Earth named "Old Trafford".

Sorry, I didnt make myself clear to my intentions, I meant Old Trafford (stadium) as opposed to Old trafford (football) given the multi use nature of the stadium, but yes, I would agree with a move to Old trafford aswell. Its just Old Trafford (football) to me atleast, has the implication that the thing is a football, which is odd. Philc _T^E_C^I 22:38, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I've set Old Trafford to redirect to this page. I'd advise keeping the title as it is, however, since it's useful to distinguish the football ground from the cricket ground. Also, any name change would mean having to change all the links to this page. --Daduzi ^talk 07:12, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

No because when you move a page, the previous page automatically becomes a redirect. Philc _T^E_C^I 16:31, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, right, ignore my earlier point then. Still, all that being said the current situation seems acceptable. If this article is renamed to Old Trafford because Old Trafford (football) seems weird what do we do with Old Trafford (cricket)? --Daduzi ^talk 16:40, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough, now that the situation is explained, the only way to do it to have Old Trafford (Football Stadium) and Old Trafford (Cricket Ground), but that just seems to perdantic to be worth the bother. Philc _T^E_C^I 22:07, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Picture?

I've been looking at articles on all the other UEFA 5-Star european stadiums and they have pictures of the stadiums whereas this article just has the Man Utd emblem, shouldn't there be an image of the stadium instead?Mr. mister 13:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeh I thought that too, so I fished one out of the edit history. Som anonymous IP felt otherwise and had put the emblem there. Philc _T^E_C^I 19:38, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

yeah its much better now, thanks Mr. mister 13:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

propose move

I can't help feeling that "Old Trafford (football)" is a most unsatisfactory name for this article. How would people feel if I proposed moving this page to "Old Trafford Stadium", with a view to moving the other Old Trafford to "Old Trafford Cricket Ground"? DJR (T) 21:26, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good to me, but it'll probably be best to check over at Old Trafford (cricket) as well. --Daduzi ^talk 20:11, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
