Would imagine its purely that the police aren't allowing free movement within the stadium yet. Not that they cant arrange replay, more they cant do jack shit until police and now apparently the army are satisfied their job is done.

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.

This potato phone footage on sky news. 2016.
But what do they care whether some club suits are discussing something or not?
Just got home. Was sitting in the north west quadrant. Absolutely mental, definitely felt nervous for a while!
The police obviously need to confirm the new date. I can understand them not wanting to get into all that until the current situation is resolved.
Makes more sense.

Hardly important now, but if game is not replayed before Saturday then Fellaini is suspended for the Cup final.
Oh that's way too harsh. But rules.

What reputation would that be? Don't know anyone who doesn't think he's anything but an asshat
Glad you are ok man.
I'd say there's a few people who will like that.I could see it being big enough to wipe out the toilets, and there's a tonne of people in there at half time.

Stewards here definitely saying device, including phone, was strapped to gas pipe. Not confirmed. MUFC say their own security found it.
Yep, a real gutter for Crystal Palace that he won't be playing.
If the game is not replayed, who gets the bonus on fantasy team?
The goal is to hurt people, you can use a modest amount of explosives in a bag full of shrapnels.
PS: This is not an advice.
Say what you will, but these are some cute looking sniffer dogs. Glad these fellas are on the job.
use remote controlled robots with shotguns to investigate then if they can with it shoot explosive tips on the detonation control section of the package. Then if there's a fail safe it will detonate the full bomb, if not then it's safer for them to move in and disassemble.
@pauldyson1uk Well, in that case it makes sense. I thought they were 2 separate entities.
Isn't @The Mitcher a steward at OT? Hopefully he's alright.
He/She just wants to run around the pitch.

My brother worked in bomb disposal for the British Army, based out of RAF Northolt he covered London & South East of England, the police don't have their own bomb disposal. If something looks really suspect they call the army in who will usually do a controlled explosion if they agree it is really suspect.

What a cutie! Yes, the whole security operation have been carried out in a very, well, secure manner.
It would only have been assembled once inside though.
I'm guessing they'd make us replay if a draw for us would take us back up to 5th? "Fairness" and other such bullcrap.
I may be wrong but I thought the army was always involved it suspect bombs.
Well he is our form FA Cup midfielder
You don't agree with us playing the game?
Pardew will go potty
Yes. A small amount of explosives with a load of nails/ball bearings around it will cause a lot of injuries (and worse) in a crowded area
also if there is no need for the game to be played and the FA call it 0-0 , then he will play.

No chance in hell my Springer would be on the job given OT to run around in. He'd go bat shit crazy and you'd not see him for 2 days.

I thought everyone was told to leave, which photographer is hanging about?
Jesus.. this is pretty terrifying. Hope it's just some idiot messing around and not an actual explosive device.
British Police are probably the best in the world, in my (admittedly limited) experience. The French, Germans and Yanks have equally well trained forces, but the Brits do it without resorting to bullying tactics every two minutes.
Glad youre ok man
