Welll, we could technically still do something.
Tuesday means fellaini available for FA cup. Crap.
The device was strapped to a gas pipe in the loo?
do security check toilets before they let fans in.
OK so no CCTV in the loos but there is outside, bit of a long shot but could they not narrow down who went in there and trace them?

It certainly didn't make their job any harder did it!
Although the lineup Swansea ended up fielding was a disgrace, other teams have complained about weakened lineups in the past, doubt we will.
Not sure how they can really track down the person who did this today though. Unless they were looking particularly sheepish, all they had to do was wander into the toilets, do their thing and then leave without looking too suspicious. Not allowed cameras in the toilets, especially not in the cubicles!
We could've done with him against West Ham.
Any news on whether the threat was real or not?
Correct.
I don'tsee how they're going to do this. Many fans who had tickets today won't be able to make it for a Tuesday. United can't charge fans again for the rescheduled game. If they make it free admission to fans, the people who have tickets for todays game will miss out. It's a logistical nightmare.
I can see United giving refunds and playing it behind closed doors.

1,000s of people would use the same toilets though.
And how do you even track a face to a ticket?
I have my name on a ticket, but I wasn't there today, so you'll have that scenario all over. Imagine the work involved?
And even if they managed to work out who the 1,000+ people were, all they'd have to do was say "no I don't know anything", if they were even allowed to question them.
It's tough.
They said that the suspected package was not viable.
We could have done with a little bit of balls too. But you are correct regarding this.
They'll replay it, and just say original tickets stand.
Meaning it's an absolute nightmare for anyone with a ticket who now can't go.
it'll surely be like Palace but worse.
I'm hoping it's Tue not Wed, as woman I sold to can't do Wed, but can do Tue.
I wouldn't fancy my chances of shifting with a day or 2 notice!
They may just offer refunds for those who don't want to attend and we'll have a reduced attendance.
Viable? What's that mean?
Feck, the lad who scored in the last two rounds avaliable.
That would be the most sensible solution. Similar to what they do when concerts are called off or rearranged.
Relax. He will score the winner.
It could not explode, I guess.
Like I said a long shot and yes a HUGE job, but I think the idiot that has done this needs to be found.
My thoughts are some idiot has done this , not expecting it to go has far as it did.
I can see him grassing himself up by bragging to his mates about the chaos he caused.
So, someone has deliberately strapped something to a pipe in the toilets with the express aim of causing a panic?
Well, I suppose, at least it wasn't actually a bomb.

I'm guessing it's construction was designed to look like a bomb, but had none of the actual components which go into making one, i.e. Fake.

Seems to indicate someone went out of their way to make something that looked like a bomb?

I'm not so sure.
39b of the season ticket Ts and Cs
matches can be abandoned or postponed (for example, due to weather conditions or unforeseen events) and the Club shall have no liability whatsoever to a Ticket Holder (or any Authorised User) if any match covered by the Season Ticket is abandoned or postponed. Ticket Holders shall however be entitled to attend any re-arranged version of such match.
There's a clear lack of character in the side, bunch of cowards, the likes of Keane and eric woulda disposed of the bomb themselves to save all the trouble after the game.
Yep. If he's stupid enough to do it, he's stupid enough to post it or boast somewhere.
Just hope someone rats the twat in
Not a disgrace at all. They can field whatever team they want.
we'll see if other teams think it's fine if we ever do the same.
The events of today saved LvG from being booed.
Wouldn't it great if Swansea are relying on us to beat a rival on the last day, just so they can't be relegated. What a dilemma.

A weakened Manchester United side were celebrating their 16th English league title against a Hammers team who needed a point to guarantee their Premiership status.
Sir Alex Ferguson left a host of star names on the bench and there were no complaints from his West Ham counterpart Alan Curbishley.
I think there are rules that say they have to field their strongest possible team. Blackpool were fined for losing after making a number of changes against Villa a few years back.
There used to be rules against it.
Blackpool were fined for it when they were in the Premier League. The weakened team rule was later abandonded though.

The fact they were resting some for the Euros. Did any other team do that? I can understand Liverpool fielding a weakened side but Swansea.
Other teams played weakened teams, I don't see the problem. At the end of the day you have to look after your own.
Hope the club push back on the game being rearranged for Tuesday. We need and deserve a full week to prepare for the final against Palarse.
Yes and I remember thinking how farcical it was.
