Do you believe that the club should allow blanket and unsupervised access to any company, even if it's a security firm, to Old Trafford? And do you believe that our pre match checks are sufficient given this was only found after people entered the stadium? That's where the club is, in my view, to be viewed badly.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

who's this complete bellend?
Personally think a lot of positives can be taken from today.
The stewards and police had a genuine practice in how to deal with this type of situation, and I'd say they handled it very well.

I'm embarrassed for those who are embarrassed.
The reaction will be brilliant when we lose out on a player in the summer because we wouldn't pay an extra £3m.
So now we have revealed our security measures?
The only party to be faulted imo is the company that left their shit at OT and forgot about it. Club, police, military, stewards have all executed their tasks perfectly well, fale alarm or not. Better safe than sorry. There's no fecking around in today's times, especially after France and attacks near PdP.
But yeah, it pretty much sums up our seasonTo be absolutely fair being late twice for the matches was more embarrassing.
Neither of which were our fault but do carry on regardless.
you clearly don't know what an employee is and yet you're trying to be condescending to him ffsGreat gesture by the club to refund everybody. 3m is no matter to be sniffed at. No doubt they feel as bad as anybody this has happened.
The fact that it was an external company means feck all. They were hired by the club and the club was responsible for overseeing their work.
I hope that's true because I have a pair that will probably go to waste if not as there is no way I can make it on Tuesday.
Yep.
"Journalist" for the MEN. Wanted us to be fined for turning late to West Ham.
10/10 endingSure, doesn't change the fact that it hasn't happened to us in what, last 10-15 years? Coincidentally it happened twice this season alone.
Can't disagree with this. The two things must be separated. 1) How it got there and how it wasn't spotted, which is where something clearly went wrong. 2) The actions upon discovery which should and must be commended.
The only embarrassing thing is you lot trying to use this to push your fecking agendas
They obviously didn't use "Allah Akbar!" during the training for genuine authenticity.
Wow.
So we have club officials going around planting fake bombs by accident? Goodbye World .
It's very worrying that something like this was allowed to happen.
At least we now know our security isn't up to scratch and it didn't taken a terrible tragedy to work it out.
On a lighter note I'd imagine attendance on Tuesday will be terrible which, if any more hints are needed, will show Woodward that the fans want Van Gaal out.

Exactly.
I think you've pretty much covered it with those two words.
Easy mistake to make, IMO.
Embarrassing and Agenda are the new "knee jerk"

Erm oookkkkkk.
In response to what happened at the Trafford Centre: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co...ist-training-exercise-success-police-11327800
That makes no sense. Embarrassingly so.
Easy mistake to make, IMO.
Yep and clubs will no doubt review how regularly and rigorously they sweep their stadiums between games.
Thanks for providing context.
This is an embarrassing, agenda driven, knee jerk post, to be fair.
Cheers, hadn't seen that.
Hardly. Late for Tottenham, didn't beat the crowds for West Ham and planted our own bomb.
The West Ham one is borderline but at the end of the day we should have arrived at 4pm the night before and slept in the dressing room to be safe.
It is true if you wish to be technical - employing a contractor has a different tax and liability status from employing an individual - but they're still employees in the broader sense of the term. And the employer is equally responsible for their actions. The big difference is that the club can sue the company for compensation.
On one hand you have to laugh at the Naked Gun level farce this has been and be grateful that it didn't turn out to be something sinister, but the fact it went unnoticed for 4 days is worrying.
Easy mistake to make, IMO.
I don't actually agree with the point being made in that it could easily have been found but the person neglected to remove it. The second tweet made me laugh, though.
