Suspect package found at Old Trafford - Polidicks

[QUOTE]Manchester United's final-day match against Bournemouth has been called off because of a suspect package. Two stands - the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand and the Stretford End - were evacuated before the home game against Bournemouth and sniffer dogs brought in to search the stands. Kick-off, due at 15:00 BST, was delayed and shortly afterwards the match was abandoned on police advice. An Army bomb disposal unit arrived at the stadium shortly afterwards.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36297390"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36297390[/URL] Has been revealed that it was an explosive device attached to a gas pipe. Mad

Might have DNA on it. The terrorists probably didn't account for that when making it as they probably assumed it would explode and therefore not matter.

Attached to a gas pipe? Sounds like someone was attempting to create a fairly decent sized fireball. Glad to hear they caught this in time. If the explosive is large enough, probably could of set the entire city bloc ablaze.

man united so would have drawn against bournemouth and failed anyway. they're such a humiliating team i feel shame to have supported them back in the day....

So the match was cancelled because of a training device, found by someone because it was meant to be found to be suspicious in case of a real device was planted? I mean I see the merit in it.
