Kinell, this is looking like an almighty balls-up. Looks like their security first policy has blown up in their face.
It was a mistake, doing a positive thing to help ensure the safety of everyone at old Trafford. It's a bad one but the silly amounts in football these days the premier league and both clubs would put the company under with the cash they'd want. Then there's one less security firm to keep everyone safe and a load of unemployed people. Better to just shrug it off and make sure it doesn't happen again. Goodness knows the premier league and any of its clubs don't need the money they'd recieve, which would be a piss in the ocean to them. The fans are the only ones really inconvenienced, and they won't see a ****ing penny.
Aye it's a long way to travel for those fans for nothing, the Bournemouth fans have a long trek home as well.
Everyone gets let in for free on Tuesday, if Bournemouth offer free transport aswell they might get a few in.
It's been there since Wednesday. This makes me as a few questions. Why was nobody documenting and double checking that everything was returned at the end of said test. Do Man Utd not do daily checks? Most importantly do Man Utd not do pre game checks?
Given the exercise was to improve the efficiency of sniffer dogs finding the devices, I can only assume they failed that too. The lesson seems to be to let football fans in the ground, they're better at finding these things than the professionals.
I didn't say it should be like that. I was just agreeing that in this case those who's job it is are in fact crap at their jobs as its more likely a fan will find it.
Sam Stride, a United supporter from Bristol, said: “Unbelievable. This is the first time I have been to Old Trafford to see a game." No ****? https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...mb-fiasco-call-for-investigation-old-trafford
I've also been hearing that. Maybe a conspiracy theory, but a decent one. How else do you test an evacuation process without participants knowing it's an exercise? However, going against that is that they didn't let everyone back in again to play the game. But then again, they know how well people dispersed after evacuating and will have learned about how it affected transport etc.
If it's conspiracy theories, what about it being a real one, but they didn't want to show how weak security is.
