New findings, courtesy of TRA, suggest that the average age of season ticket holders in Old Trafford is 46.
The Red Army claims this is a major problem not only for atmosphere, but for the future generations of our match-going support.
TRA will be asking Manchester United to start prioritising the youth before it’s too late.

As far as the atmosphere goes, TRA has been a major positive for Old Trafford. It gives likeminded Reds an opportunity to stand together at the ground.
I do agree with their argument here and you can see the telling shift from the 70s. Football is no longer the working-man’s game and many people have been priced out of the game as a result.
