Talk:Old Trafford Cricket Ground

message: I can't help feeling that both "Old Trafford (football)" and "Old Trafford (cricket)" are most unsatisfactory names for these articles.  Thus, I propose moving this page to "Old Trafford cricket ground", whilst moving the other page to "Old Trafford stadium".  If there are no immediate objections then I will add the relevant tags etc.  DJR (T) 21:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Object - these are established, descriptive names and I see no reason to rename them. In particular, the cricket stadium is as much a stadium as is the football ground. There is no such address as Old Trafford Cricket Ground. TerriersFan 02:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm afraid I must disagree.  The Lancashire County Cricket Club homepage uses "Old Trafford Cricket Ground" as illustrated in the link.  In contrast, there definitely is no such address as "Old Trafford (cricket)"!  If anything, "Old Trafford Cricket Ground" is more descriptive than "Old Trafford (cricket)".  Furthermore, cricket grounds are addressed as "Blah Cricket Ground" - being a member of the MCC I know for a fact that the address of Lord's is "Lord's Cricket Ground" and The Oval is "The Oval Cricket Ground".  The football ground could be renamed to "Old Trafford Football Ground" if the use of "stadium" is an issue, but it should be borne in mind that the Stadium is not only used for football, whereas the Cricket Ground is a cricket ground.

replies: text:  The address is here. I see no pressing reason for the change. BTW We have pop concerts and corporate events as well as cricket matches :-) TerriersFan 23:47, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I'd be happy with that.  It's only the display title after all and the redirects will find it.  --BlackJack | talk page 17:17, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's definitely an improvement on the present anyway.  DJR (T) 17:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I have completed the move by fixing the double redirects. Wikipedia:Double redirects refers. TerriersFan 19:46, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I propose that when they completely redevelop Old Trafford, it should be renamed New Trafford to show the way forward for a new era of cricket.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.68.49.235 (talk) 20:07, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A joke I presume. Anyway, the page name remains until changed by the club. TerriersFan (talk) 20:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed move 

message: This might seem a bizarre question but, using the traditional pre-1974 county boundaries, was Old Trafford actually in Lancashire?  Looking at a map, it must've been very close to the border with Cheshire.  It is south of the river, and rivers were often county boundaries, but then Stretford is south of the river and I'm fairly sure that was in Lancashire.  Epa101 (talk) 00:31, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You're looking at  the wrong river.  :-) Mr Stephen (talk) 10:31, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: After a bit of searching, I found an old map.  It was in the Stretford borough, which was on the southern edge of Lancashire.  I was wondering because I knew that Old Trafford was in the Trafford council area, and I thought that Trafford was all Cheshire.  I was mistaken.  Epa101 (talk) 11:44, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Boundary with Cheshire 

message: Does "...Old Trafford's first years were rocky: accessible only along a footpath from the Old Trafford station, the ground was situated out in the country..." refer to present day Old Trafford railway station (then called Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition and subsequently Warwick Road railway station) or present day Trafford Bar railway station (then called Old Trafford railway station)?  Should really be clarified and then linked to the relevant station's article but I don't know which it is! --81.23.54.142 (talk) 06:10, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

:Old Trafford Cricket Ground →  – The cricket ground is actually called just "Old Trafford". But to disambiguate with the football stadium, cricket ground should be in brackets, as it's not part of the name. Even the article lead acknowledges this. 90.255.6.219 (talk) 19:32, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
