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.
Bomb squad just arrived.
Yeah I thought that was really odd. Surely a pre-emptive warning must have been made.
Bomb squad arrived. Controlled explosion to be made. Crazy shit.
unless something much worse happens, it absolutely wouldn't
There was a tweet earlier about the forecourt being cleared, before the rest were let out, so most likely Full Time Devils are just lagging behind events a bit.
Because it's a picture not a video.
So it sounds like there must be an actual device then... 100m evacuation radius etc.
Talk now of the game being played tomorrow behind closed doors, which would make sense.
Took their time
I bet the fans got more excitement and tension out of the last hour leading up to the game than they did watching our football the whole season.
Souness there giving his considered appraisal of the British security services. They do say talk about what you know...
Turns out he was right.
Yep, would make sense.
Souness has to be allowed to talk about something.
Hearing on the news that there will likely be a controlled explosion of the package, where it is. Kind of scary to hear this.
Mental watching sky broadcasting from the car park
This is what we have to look forward to in France 
I take it you are familiar with the concept of a photograph
How? He said there will probably be a controlled explosion.
fecks sake I don't know what channel to watch
Typical! A sunshiney day and my last game for a while, and this happens.
I bet it was a onesey from the Megastore.

Controlled explosions are the norm when it comes to suspected packages.
Many conflicting reports... a package, a bag, a phone..
Neil Ashton just said, citing a senior United source, there will be a controlled det (they will blow up the package) where it was found.
Yep, it's surreal seeing them talk about an abandoned match, giving updates on the situation etc. Strange indeed.
A controlled explosion will be carried out. The same was done at a newcastle school in 2015, however it was found out that the device in school was NOT a bomb.
nice one centurion, like it
This is what we have to look forward to in France
One can only hope that this is how things will work out in case of any threat.
It could still be nothing, hopefully.
It's procedure to leave package deemed suspect untouched until the arrival of a bomb squad, so this may still turn out to be nothing.
Fiddling with it without protective clothing is just silly.

It's a phone in a bag in a package
Sadly I think security will be so high at stadiums they just go straight to softer targets... Hotels, bars, fanparksThis is what we have to look forward to in France
Hopefully, but it's not looking good.
Jesus Christ. This is actually extremely serious!
Bomb squad going in for a controlled explosion, army searching the ground. Scary stuff!
I'd love to know how the feck it got there. They search every single person that goes in, and have random metal detecting searches too. I'm sure a box with a phone stuck on would be kind of bloody conspicuous too!
Inside job? Illuminati confirmed

Haven't you seen Harry Potter?
It probably will be nothing, except a prank/misunderstanding. Hopefully.
I think Bournemouth will want the game replayed. They could move from 16th to 12th with a win and their prize money would be increased.
To be honest, seeing that bomb disposal van rolling into Old Trafford sent a horrible shiver down my spine.
This is just fecking shitty all around. Kudos to the stewards, club security and the police.

This is all so surreal.
