Bank Street was a multi-use sports stadium in Manchester, England. It was used mostly for football matches and was the second home ground for Manchester United F.C.. The stadium held 50,000, but moved to Old Trafford in 1910 because club owner John Henry Davies thought he could not sufficiently expand the ground to his liking. The staduim was in poor repair towards the end of its life and shortly after the club moved out to Old Trafford, the main stand at Bank Street blew down in a storm. The club moved to Bank Street from North Road in 1893.
