I've been to Watford when they were in the Premier League in the 1999-2000 and 2006-07 seasons. United won both matches – 3-2 in 2000 and 2-1 in 2006. United received a bigger allocation for the 1st visit, as by the time of the 2nd visit a large part of the older main stand had been closed for safety reasons, taking capacity below 20,000. This stand has since been partly demolished, but still not rebuilt yet. The 3 other sides of the stadium are modern grandstands – one built in the 1980s and the other in the 1990s, making it a nice away ground to visit.

I parked in the centre of Watford and had food and drink there, then walked the short distance to the stadium.
