Very good family oriented event. Only downside was entry through the turnstiles as we waited in a really long queue to get through but didn’t on previous visits so not sure why.
Great day though 👌

Sorry to say that we didn't manage to get to the match but watched it on tv and really enjoyed it. Hopefully we can get tickets next year!
The event was very entertaining but the organisation of crowds around the stadium before the game was really poor
People were queuing at the turnstiles across the path of hordes of fans trying to get around d the stadium
People were squashed some were irritable and no one was available to take control s d guide people through
Fantastic evening. Would be even better if it was an hour earlier for the children attending, had two songs in the half time show (a lot of time setting up for one song), and easier to obtain the pre bought programs.
Good match but needed more going on in fan zone as very busy and massive queues. Also getting into the seats itself through the turnstiles was horrendous
Another great night full of entertainment. A true family feeling.
Really good time, getting in and out off the ground was easy ,the atmosphere in out off ground was excellent
Could of been ruined. There was stalls selling flags scarfs hats blow horns inside old trafford ground and outside the grounds and food n drink outlets.
We bought our son a blow horn and a drink for us all .
When we got to the turnstiles the stuards told all the kids they had to put there blow horns in the bin and everyones drinks . Kids were devestaded and cring . These items were bought actually on site . But u was refused entry if u didnt bin it .
Once we binned it all as soon as we went thru turnstiles , there was food n drink outlets inside where we had to re buy all our drinks again.
Wasnt happy
I have been to many scoocer aids - this by far was the worse organised one in terms of stewards , atmosphere , the contection with celebrities!! There area where the bus arrived that is normally so much fun and the fan zone was full of one direction fans that didn’t even have tickets for the ground meaning that people that had paid to be there couldn’t get close . The compair in the ground was shockingly bad this year. There wasn’t enough stewards which meant lost of the ones Taft where there were rude and aggressive, not what is needed at a family charity event that is normally so much fun . The players families came straight on the pitch which meant very few even did a lap around the pitch to wave to fans. Was very poor this year and old Trafford has had its day as a hosting venue.
Outside the ground was awful there was no organisation the queueing system was useless to many staff standing around and not helping sort out the mess
Great family event. Would be better, as there are a lot of families who attend, if the ko was earlier, say 5.00 or 6.00?
Amazing gets better every year I really wish they would hold it at the emirates stadium
Favourite weekend of the year. 10/10!!! …managed to speak to soo many of the players
I have attended these a couple of times and have enjoyed them. This one seemed a little quieter, not as much audience participation, no vendors with Soccer Aid merchandise and the seating was cramped and uncomfortable.
Excellent day for the family. Kids loved it
Was a fabulous time as always, only thing is our seats (premier) were so high and felt out of the thick of plot! My fault for not checking the plan but disappointed.
What an amazing event. It is so nice seeing all the players enjoy the game and for an excellent cause.
Really good atmosphere but feel more could have been done to entertain crowds beforehand, especially kids.
Signs to where outside entertainment was would have been good, we were in the West Stand, unnacustomed to Stanford Bridge, so ended up going inside and missed it.
Also, it was disappointing that crowds were allowed to stand at the front of West Stand for all of the build up. They did so in front of people in wheelchairs and people that had paid for low row tickets, who couldn’t see any of it. They should have been in their seats that they had paid for.
Brilliant levels of staffing.
The actual event was great. It would be made better if all of the players could do a lap of the stadium before and after the game and engage with fans a bit more, especially the kids. Some do this but most don't. Also we didn't get home until 1pm. Our usual train service stopped running as it was a Sunday so we had to find an alternative way home. This put a downer on the whole day.
