You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[Image:Stretford End.jpg|thumb|The Stretford End, taken from the South-East corner of the ground]]
The '''Stretford End''', also known as the '''West Stand''', at [[Old Trafford]], the [[stadium]] of [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United Football Club]], takes its name from nearby [[Stretford]]. The stand is divided into two tiers and, in common with the rest of the stadium, has a [[cantilever]] roof.

==History==
[[Image:Stretford end 1992.JPG|thumb|The Stretford End terraces before 1993.]]
Before the [[Taylor Report]], which required all [[Premier League]] and Division One clubs to have all-seater stadia by the start of the [[1994–95 in English football|1994–95 season]], the Stretford End was the main standing area at [[Old Trafford]], accommodating around 20,000 fans. The very upper tier of the end did actually have form seating where generally families with younger children used to sit. The last game played in front of the terrace was the final match of the [[1991–92 in English football|1991–92]] season, a 3–1 win over [[Tottenham Hotspur]] on 2 May 1992.

The terrace was demolished in the 1992 close-season and replaced with a £10&nbsp;million [[All-seater stadium|all-seater]] [[cantilever]] stand by the end of the [[1992–93 in English football|1992–93 season]], and its name officially changed to the West Stand, although it is still often referred to as the Stretford End and has white seats spelling the name out. The construction work was carried out by [[Birse Group]].<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/business/business-news/birse-board-shake-up-as-founder-retires-1188820|title=Birse board shake-up as founder retires|date=17 February 2007|publisher=Manchester Evening News|accessdate=20 September 2020))</ref>

The redevelopment of the Stretford End was already being planned by 1989, when chairman [[Martin Edwards]] was proposing to sell the club and was willing to sell his shares for £10&nbsp;million and pledge £10&nbsp;million to any new owner for the redevelopment of the Stretford End; however, the proposed sale of the club to [[Michael Knighton]] fell through and Edwards remained the club's owner for another 16 years.

For the [[2000–01 in English football|2000–01 season]], a second tier of seating was added. As well as hosting a number of executive boxes, the first tier of the West Stand is now partly taken up by the family seating area. The players' tunnel is located at the corner of the Stretford End and the Sir Bobby Charlton (South) stand.

Strikers [[Denis Law]] (who played for United from 1962 to 1973) and [[Eric Cantona]] (1992 to 1997) were nicknamed "King of the Stretford End" by the club's fans, the former for his prolific scoring and the latter for his charisma as well as his contribution towards the a new glory era.

==Statue==
The Stretford End has a statue of [[Denis Law]] on the upper concourse, which was unveiled on 23 September 2002. Law was known as the "King of the Stretford End" as he was idolised by the End's faithful.
