Old Trafford Evacuated

[Inseriousity.]

Training passed.
Well done Man U staff.

Stories on the BBC news / BBC Sports website indicate that there was a 'Suspicious Package' inside of the stadium. Therefore evacuating everyone from the premises.
The match was called of due to the Police's advice making it safer for everyone attending. A bomb disposal team, and the Fire & Rescue team were called to the scene,
where they carried out a controlled explosion on the suspected device.

From where I am from, people believe it was a security training operation that went bad, as they forgot to remove the 'dummy' device. Could they be wrong? OR
Are they onto something here?

Do Old Trafford's Security division need re-trained or even re-hired?

Let me know below, as I'd love to see your thoughts and views.

There's already a thread about this on the day that it happened.

It was a dummy pipe bomb that was left over from a training exercise as it was mistakingly noted as retrieved.

Why would they need retrained?

I didn't see the thread, my bad. - Plus it would have cost a fortune as they would have to give all the customers their money back over a simple mistake. Hence the re-training to prevent it from happening again. If not re-trained briefed on it to make sure they don't miss little things like this again.

The company who left the device aren't Old Trafford staff, it was an independent training company afaik.

Again, as far as I'm aware on the day of a game they have dogs do rounds on the place, as the device was a fake and not an actual bomb the dogs wouldn't be bothered by it.
