We want to return the once famous atmosphere to Old Trafford and reclaim our title as the loudest fans in England. We believe that the only way to achieve this is to introduce a culture of loud, hostile support who are able to stand and sing together with their friends and like-minded Reds. In effect we would like to create an 'away fan' culture inside Old Trafford so that Reds can watch Utd next to their mates home one week, and away the next. We want this culture to be long lasting and available for future generations for many years to come. We are entirely independent from the club and all other supporters groups, trusts, fanzines and commercial organisations. To achieve our aims we make ourselves available to meet or talk with all key stakeholder groups and individuals who express a genuine interest in helping us improve the atmosphere. Our mantra is simple: Put your phone away, stand with your mates and sing for 90 minutes.

TRA has fought and won many battles with the club and continues to do so not just on behalf of the membership but the entire stadium. The aim is to future proof what we’ve built as we hand over to a younger generation of Reds in what we hope will become a self-sustaining, hostile atmosphere. Just some of TRA’s wins (among the hundreds of rejected requests by the club) are: - Drastically improving the atmosphere inside Old Trafford - Allowing groups of mates to stand together like they could years ago - Persuading the Club to allow standing for 90 minutes - Introducing cheap Youth Season Tickets (£15/match) - Slashing beer prices (stadium-wide) by introducing £3 pints - Reestablishing a genuine connection between fans and players - Subsidised local sports teams and donated to local charities - Created a community of passionate Legacy supporters inside the ground Throughout our existence, we have remained entirely independent from MUFC and are entirely self funded and managed.

The TRA membership fee remains £5 for over 18s and free for u18s. How that money is utilised depends on membership numbers as always; surplus funds will be divided up between local good causes, TRA events and initiatives to improve the atmosphere.

TRA was formed in 2017 to try and improve the atmosphere inside OT and although we are all firmly against the Glazers’ ownership of the Club, continuing to improve the atmosphere remains the sole objective for those of us who run TRA. It’s important to understand that we aren’t in a position to claim that we represent the opinions of all our members and If anyone wants to protest against the Glazers then they are entirely within their rights to do so and this has always been the case. As has been demonstrated over the past few seasons and particularly of late, many of you have shown how you feel about the Glazers’ ownership of our Club & TRA have been by far the most vocal area within the ground during protests. This reiterates what we’ve always said - we have never been told by the Club what we can or cannot sing and protests, providing they are held within the ground regulations, are perfectly acceptable. In other words, if you want to protest peacefully and legally then there is nothing to prevent you doing so from within TRA. To summarise, those of us who run TRA are fully against the Glazer’s ownership of Utd and we have never met a single TRA member who felt differently. Because of their logo, many assumed that the 1958 group was run by us. We are not part of the 1958 but many of us have attended the protest marches that they organised. We have offered to help with their planning & ideas and will continue to support any group that is able to demonstrate a realistic, workable strategy that will result in the Glazers leaving the Club. We recommend that you direct all questions or ideas relating to the Glazers towards the 1958 group

No, there is absolutely no truth in this rumour whatsoever. TRA have never approached The Club about receiving any type of priority for away tickets, we firmly believe that away ticket allocation should be handled by The Club and that the process should be done fairly and with no bias towards TRA or any other group or individual.

TRA members are able to watch the match alongside their mates, we manage this through the use of Groups. To create a Group a TRA member simply uses our online system to bring together their friends into a single Group. When a Group is successful in a TRA ballot, all members of the Group will be seated together. <link to video>

Filming IS not welcome in TRA areas since its inception in 2017. Filming inside a football ground is the antithesis of what TRA stand for, if you want to film yourself, your mates or the players then do not apply for TRA, you will not be made welcome as the vast majority of our members find the idea of filming at a football match highly offensive. Please respect the wishes of other TRA members and keep your phone away at all times.

Yes. The Club have finally agreed to TRA's request for an increase from the size of 2x1m to 3x3m flags that can be allowed into Old Trafford through the turnstiles on match-days. This means that providing your flag adheres to the rules outlined below, you may bring a flag up to 3x3m into the stadium through the turnstiles without having to first contact the Club. This makes Old Trafford the only stadium in Britain which allows flags of this size (all others set a limit of 2x1m) in through the turnstiles on match-day. This is a stadium wide change to existing ground regulations. Please note, all flags will be subject to a search & checks before being allowed entry. Club rules regarding flags Flags must not contain offensive, discriminatory, defamatory, illegal, commercial or political messaging / imagery. Flags must have a current fire safety certification attached and have a relevant fire compliance reference number

TRA did set a lower age limit of 8 provided that children attend with a responsible adult due to the high likelihood of explicit language, aggressive nature of chants and often close physical proximity inside TRA areas but this is merely a guide, not a rule This season, all adults who wish to bring children aged under the age of 11 into TRA will be positioned together on one of the front rows of SERS. This is to ensure that children have an unobstructed view and to allow other members to enjoy being in TRA without having to worry about accidentally injuring a young child. If you are intending to attend with a child under the age of 11 please let us know using this link <>

TRA are currently located in blocks W207-W205 in the Stretford End right-side (SERS) with an allocation of around 2500 seats. Until the 2024/25 season, TRA occupied 3800 seats in blocks W212-W206 but The Club took over 1000 seats away from TRA to create their own 'atmosphere' section, although this was almost certainly an attempt to control TRA, rather than to help improve the atmosphere and it came as no real surprise given the club's track record of only the atmosphere problem lip service. No doubt the club would dispute that though.
