With around 8,500 Blades fans expected to be in attendance at Old Trafford on Saturday for the Emirates FA Cup third round clash, Manchester United have communicated several important information points which it is hoped will be of use to travelling supporters.
Manchester United and Greater Manchester Police (GMP) will be implementing extra security procedures and as with any match day, the safety of all fans is the utmost priority.
The aforementioned organisations would like to stress that these measures are extremely important, and ask that you work with them to ensure checks take place. The advice provided is given to ensure the safety and security of all supporters and your proactive compliance is greatly appreciated.
In order to prevent delays and queuing at the turnstiles, Manchester United urge you to arrive as early as possible (turnstiles will be open from 3.30pm), and ask you NOT to bring a bag to the stadium. As with normal matchday security procedures, all bags will be searched, therefore delaying entry into the stadium. Laptops and tablets are not permitted inside the stadium.
When planning your travel to Old Trafford, please allow extra time for your journey, as the roads are likely to be busy around the city centre and Trafford Centre (junction 9, M60) with shoppers.
Please also be aware that Ground Halt (Old Trafford) train station will not be open on Saturday.
Fans will also be subject to a strict and enhanced search regime prior to entry into the stadium and this will include the use of pyrotechnic detection dogs.
Anyone found with pyrotechnics will be arrested and dealt with by GMP with any prosecution supported by Manchester United FC.
Meanwhile, Sheffield United would like to remind all supporters that our allocation has sold out and you are advised not to travel without a valid match ticket. Visiting supporters are also asked to carry any required proof of concession with them as tickets will be subject to checks.
All collections and duplicate tickets can be collected from Ticketing and Membership Services, which is located in Car Park W2 once the supporters' coaches arrive on the day
Any refunds or amendments must be made before 11am on Friday 8th January at the Blades Ticket Office.
In addition, due to the amount of Blades fans' making the trip, Manchester United's official matchday programme is heavy with opposition content. [I'm sure it's a bargain]
As well as a two-page Matt Done interview, there's six pages on the rest of the squad and a feature on why cup competitions bring out of the best of the Blades. [But presumably less about how we lose at home to, say, Shrewsbury.]
