No it isn't a set so obviously there are mistakes

    There is a Lego football set, or at least there was, but you can still find them. My son still has his in his room. I recall playing it and it wasn't too bad either. Could bid and treat him and build the stands around it.

    That's very good.  Now I feel dirty posting this but there is a Lego Old Trafford kit.  https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/old-trafford-manchester-united-10272?cmp.i0=KAC-INI-GOOGEU-GO-GB-EN-SP-BUY-SHOP-PLA-BP-SP-RN-Shopping&cmp.i1=KAC-INI-GOOGEU-GO-GB-EN-SP-BUY-SHOP-PLA-BP-SP-RN-Theme_Price_Points&ef_id=CjwKCAjwkun1BRAIEiwA2mJRWWgms1swF3o3z2-ISnaSvp1dMWuqg_XSW2QFTwfUxYmCP_WgOt14AhoCma4QAvD_BwE%3AG%3As&s_kwcid=AL%21933%213%21288226450249%21%21%21g%21300647113671%21

    That was his words after we finished it. 

    Took 6 hours Sunday seperating all the colours of a huge storage box of lego. 

    Then yday we were running out of colours needed, would love to have a bash but in all truth this is the first time he's got lego out for about 2 years and it was made up all bits of lego buses, construction vehicles and police stations. Most of the bits were thin and had to be put 3 together to make a block. 

    If I manage to order some decent proper lego bricks then we might, especially if lockdown continues.

    Think we'll have to play the long ball game due to all those divots in the pitch.

    That’s the closest you’ll get to it for the next six months I reckon.

    Is that an EFL initiative, a centre square instead of a circle?

    Certainly isnt just for kids - Have loved buying kits even as an adult

    Would love to build this one (over 4000 bricks) yet is £400, a sign of how expensive a hobby it is

    Make sure you get the quadrants right as Acworth hasn't, he also doesn't have the big screen or the floodlights... Or the yellow stairs that you have got.

    We’ve accumulated so much lego over the years, ranging from Technics, Star Wars, City etc anyway little man no longer so little has grown out of it, so we’ve spent most of lockdown trying to get rid. 

    He had so many sets and we kept the pamphlets that we embarked on an epic task of trying to put the kits together and move them on through Facebook market and eBay towards a gaming PC. Also sold old
    console, and other games he doesn’t use mainly on Facebook market. It’s amazing how much you accumulate over the years.

    I’ve become quite obsessively hunting down the last pieces of Lego, often the most obscure annoying bits. You can buy them through lego, but less recent ones you have to go to these brick sites. It’s quite rewarding and strangely stimulating during lockdown. We do still have some Technics lego left so ping me if this is your thing.

    Bricklink is the best site to get individual pieces

    Yup when it’s UK. Some silly prices for postage and handling when abroad
