About this audio guide
This guide to Old Trafford in Manchester leaves the players aside and follows the people who keep the grass alive, from Keith Kent's arrival as groundsman in the late nineteen-eighties to Tony Sinclair's crew today. It turns on a strange problem: a famous stadium whose own stands work against its pitch. Alex Ferguson turns up too, with a complaint about the surface. Stand where you can see the whole pitch and the height of the stands around it.
