Manchester sport, ground by ground

Grounds and venues

A stadium capacity figure is a licensed number, not a count of seats, and this section explains what it covers. It also takes in safe standing, pitch orientation and the travel plans venues publish before a matchday. The venue records of the 2008–09 programme — sixteen Manchester and north-west grounds — are kept here in full.
