United game postponed due to bomb scare

Even Peter Swales in his pomp couldn't have managed this fiasco.

Couldn't? Nah, let's just say that even for Swales in his pomp it would have been a fiasco and that is saying something.

Lolllll Fucking stop it before I die laughing. This has to go in the classics forum now.

Was it in the Ladies?

That Martin Edwards would have spotted it ......

So would Bryan Robson.

Almost certainly + the refunded tickets and free entry on Tuesday will cost them in the region of £3m (I'm presuming corporate ticket income wouldn't have been too high for this game).

Don't forget they have to ship 10000 paddys back over, got to be a couple mil.

To be fair Swales ensured the thing that bombed was the team on the pitch.

So no one at the club remembered that they let in a security company with fake bombs that week?

Exactly what I was thinking , heads should seriously roll for this, no doubt they won't thought it will just be a case of ahh well these things happen.

ITV news just on "75,000 fans were safely evacuated" even with a cock up they still lie about attendance,

Thanks, mate.

Someone on rag cafe has said the refund has cost them an 'Obertan'. Not bad, for one of them. And I think we can all agree, a small price to pay.

They haven't said anything about covering travel costs, which is poor form but understandable when you hear the accents in the Sky interviews. Given it can cost me anywhere in the region of €300 for flights and accommodation for a City match and anything up to 30,000 would be travelling at least that far if not further a conservative estimate would be another £8-10m to cover travel and accommodation for fans.
