OK, I'm not one to ever praise anything from the red half of Manchester being a blue, but nonetheless, after yesterdays utter balls up I think this is worth a shout and well done Man U.
Firstly, Man U fans with tickets for yesterdays 'game' will be refunded and also get free entry into the match.
A statement on the Manchester United website said: “Ticket refunds will be given - and entry to the rescheduled match on Tuesday will be free - following the abandonment of Manchester United’s home match against Bournemouth on Sunday.
“Season Ticket holders (for their equivalent match ticket price), match ticket purchasers and Matchday VIP purchasers will receive a refund.
“Any supporters who would have accessed the stadium with their Season Card or Membership Card on Sunday will be able to do so again, and supporters with paper tickets can use them again too, all free of charge.
“Replacement paper tickets can be issued and can be reprinted at Ticketing & Membership Services on Monday or Tuesday. Fans who come to the stadium to do this on Tuesday are advised to arrive early please to avoid queues.
“As previously confirmed on ManUtd.com, the rearranged match will kick off at 20:00 BST on Tuesday, 17 May.”
Also, Bournemouth fans will get free travel:-
A statement from the club read: "AFC Bournemouth will offer supporters free coach travel to the Cherries' rearranged fixture against Manchester United on Tuesday, May 17 (8pm kick off).
"Supporters with a valid match ticket will be eligible for free travel."

Free coaches are being paid for by AFC Bournemouth. Manchester United refused to assist. Horrible, horrible club

Er, the fact that it was a security firm using MUFC's stadium that caused MUFC (and not Bournemouth) to abandon a game that Bournemouth's fans had paid money to go see? It's not exactly rocket science to work that one out - should be MUFC reimbursing Bournemouth's fans.

In fairness if the were to offer all supporters travelling from the south free transport theyd need enogh coaches for 60,000 :smiley:
Thought of that but to claim the 'freebie' you need to have spent money in the first place (similar to Checkoutsmart etc, but on a grander scale)

Ridiculous statement! I'm not Man Utd fan but they've lost MILLIONS on gate receipts for this because they've made it free for tens of thousands of people !
And you think they're a horrible club because they've asked Bournemouth to cover a few poxy coaches?!

It's the security firm that is responsible. You're just the type of person to hate anything Manchester United without logical reason.

How exactly have you worked out that I hate Manchester United for no logical reason? And that my opinion would be based on my supposed hatred? On the other hand I've got a pretty good idea your opinion might be slightly biased towards Manchester United, no idea why...
MUFC's stadium, their responsibility. You have an extremely blinkered view.
