United fans hid in toilet overnight at Old Trafford
Print Edition
TWO Manchester United fans spent last Friday night hidden in an Old Trafford toilet in a failed attempt to see the English Premier League showdown against Arsenal, in a second embarrassing security breach.
The two supporters had been on a stadium tour of United’s home ground but detached themselves from the rest of the party, the BBC reported yesterday.
However, they were discovered during a routine security sweep of Old Trafford several hours before Saturday’s kickoff and handed over to police, who decided against arresting them.
United is looking into how the pair remained undetected within Old Trafford for as long as they did. “We realize people will go to any lengths to watch a game at Old Trafford but these people went too far,” said a United spokesman. “The fact that they and their belongings had been searched before entry means there was no risk to safety.”
The incident comes six months after United’s EPL match against Bournemouth at Old Trafford was called off shortly before kickoff after a suspect package was found in a stadium toilet, prompting a bomb scare.
It turned out to be a fake explosive accidentally left behind following a security training exercise earlier in the week.
