QPR fans get to step back in time on Tuesday night with their first visit to Old Trafford in more than a decade - here's the usual hints and travel tips for those making the journey.

Ground Name: Old Trafford
Capacity: 76 100 (all seated)
Address: Sir Matt Busby Way, Manchester, M16 0RA
Main Telephone No: 0870 442 1994
Ticket Office: 0870 442 1999

By Car:
M6 for this one up to Junction 19 and then the A556 towards Altrincham and A56 towards Manchester until the ground appears. You’re unlikely to be able to get very close to it with the parking restrictions and road closures. 193 miles from Loftus Road, four hours give or take allowing for traffic.

Parking:
It’s been a while since were last here but the parking situation hasn’t changed much – lots of little private car parks at businesses and factories, also the Old Trafford cricket ground for a fiver, also the Salford Lowry Mill which costs £3 and comes highly recommended by my Mum who parked there for the Rugby League Grand Final a couple of years ago. Alternatively you can park at the end of the tram lines at Altrincham and Eccles and get a tram to the ground from there.

By Train
QPR fans travelling up for this one will probably arrive into Piccadilly, and probably have to travel back the following day as the last train leaves at 2045 – of course if we’re 3-0 down after ten minutes that might be a decent option. Failing that it’s back down on the Wednesday morning and an off-peak return is currently on sale for £62.50, although you have to leave no later than 1505 from Euston to get that. From Piccadilly you can either get a tram to Eccles and getting off at Pomona or Exchange Quay. Special trains will also run from the two through platforms at Piccadilly directly to the stadium. It’s not walkable.

Tickets
QPR have just about sold their initial allocation of 6000 tickets priced £40 adults and £21 kids (plus £3.50 booking fee, plus £4.25 postage of course) and are now onto an additional 3000 tickets priced £41 and £50. These will apparently be on sale on the night subject to availability from the membership services kiosk in the west car park – cash only.
