Two stands at Old Trafford have been evacuated over a "suspect package" - with Manchester United's final league game of the season abandoned just minutes before it was due to kick off.

Has it been confirmed its an actual bomb?

Heard them say they wouldn't discuss date of match until the package "was detonated", which leads me to believe it was a bomb....

Isis?
IRA?

This is the latest I've heard (or read)

controlled detonation carried out by bomb squad. That doesnt mean it was a bomb, a lot of the time to be safe they will just use methods to dispose of a package instead of moving it to be safe.

So instead of evacuating the players, they held them in the stadium for 4 hours with a bomb there.

If I was a player I would have peaced out long ago.

Reports now it wasn't a bomb just a life like explosive.

I'm sure that will help with the needed +19 differential.

Per the BBC

quote:

A suspicious item discovered at Old Trafford on Sunday was a training device, police have confirmed.

Police said the item had "accidentally been left by a private company following a training exercise".


Some one needs to get fired

Because ya'll can't hire a better training company? Whose fault is that.

Not like anyone would show up to watch a Europa league team anyways.
