Of corse.
what a complete bellend.
Hoax? Cracking joke lads.
Well done.
Well done.
Just another chav seeking attention.
whoever is behind this needs to face criminal charges.
Just catching up on events now, been away for the weekend, just managed to make it to the car at 3pm to listen to the match on the drive home and heard about the delay and then cancellation, scary shit.
So it looks like a 'hoax' then? Wankers, hope they find the cnuts.

If they find them they absolutely will.
Somebody promised an explosion and fireworks inside OT, so LVG cancelled the match.
Abolutely. Could have caused untold injuries if there was a panic to evacuate.
So was it a pipe bomb?
Cut from the same wanker cloth as the "it's just a prank bro!" twats who want permission to say and do whatever they want with no consequence.
How much will United lose in money if this is played with no people watching?
Insurance will cover a big chunk of it I reckon.
I don't think it's going to be a refund, this would fall under force majeur.
The ticket sales is final i guess, unless it's a good gesture by the united board to refund the AFC fans' ticket
I would doubt it.
being told on Facebook ( OK but ) that the game will be played on Tuesday, anybody else heard this?
The Facebook idiot and the actual "bomb" that was discovered are two seperate things, right? Do we know if the device was real or not yet?
Even if there was a real bomb, could they play it off as a hoax to keep everyone calm?
Think this could lead to a clamp-down in all ticket holders needing matching ID with tickets in the future which would be kind of crap for those who can't make games but understandable at the same time.
Sky have said the earliest would be Wednesday, but highly unlikely given the final on Saturday
Paddy Power sinking to a new low.
We have no idea what is / isn't covered, however if you look at the fine print in insurance policies stuff like 'damage due to war' etc isn't covered. But then I'm no expert and is terrorism classed as war.
Luckily for us, whatever it was wasn't able to go off so the financial damage would be minimal. Imagine if that phone had been tapped to a gas pipe and what damage that would have caused.
Wasnt there a report in december 2015, about an ''alleged'' attack at Old Trafford being dismissed an a hoax ? Wonder if this could be related to it.
I know this is a minor issue but I'm intrigued, are they basically blowing up the toilets in this controlled explosion? Sounds like it'll make a mess.
People do know that the person who spotted the fake bomb, is the chief suspect? It's like they say no? Whoever smelt it dealt it. Would be interesting to know how the person came to seeing it and where it was exactly. Cause if it's a fake bomb, it weren't meant to go bang. From the outside looking in, just giving people a good reason to touch people up in the summers Euros. Dirty old men like it like that.

Dirty old men like it like that.A lot of people have been posting the rules about abandoned games earlier in this thread saying that they should be played within 48 hours after the original fixture. Tuesday would make a lot of sense.
gotta be a million pounds or so.
but all the tickets are sold, so as long as the game is replayed, they probably won't allow refunds, certainly not to the 55,000 season ticket holders.
Am hoping for either Tuesday, or the week after, as the woman I sold my tickets to has a personal family ceremony on Wed, and I really can't be assed with a huge rush stress sorting of tickets out.
More than three, IIRC.
Huh? Is this a fake tweet then?
Shreeves said on Sky that for Security reasons Wednesday would be the earliest possible but that's unlikely with the final next weekend.
Think it's a joke, suggesting PP planted the device themselves.
You would imagine the bathroom has been damaged in a controlled explosion, the stadium won't be open until that's been repaired.
I guess we will play the cup final and then play the match the tues/wed afterwards.

A few years ago a match was cancelled due to floodlight failure, some guys had bet on a number of Premier League games being cancelled (you could do that back then).
