Manchester United's final Premier League fixture of the season against AFC Bournemouth"? was, as has been widely reported, abandoned prior to kick off on Sunday afternoon.
The game was postponed to Tuesday night after a "suspect package" was found in the ground in the buildup to kick off. The entire stadium was evacuated, and the travelling supporters from across the country were sent away without seeing any football - which obviously, was the wisest decision at the time.
However, Sunday evening's revelation that the device was mistakenly left at the ground by a private company's training exercise has caused some substantial embarrassment on United's part. As a result, the club have decided to give all 76,000 attending fans a refund, while the tickets from the initial game will still be valid for the second meeting.
It's set to be a costly mistake on the club's behalf, and "?Eurosport have delved right in to the details and crunched the numbers to expose how badly United's pockets will be hit.
The validation of existing tickets plus the refund essentially means United will have to foot the cost of staging two games, without any ticket revenue to show for it. The bare cost of refunding tickets for the 76,000 fans amounts to around £3m - and that's not even including the refunds for the far more expensive hospitality suites and corporate boxes. There's 155 of those, by the way.
With the prices for the suites and boxes in the thousands of pounds as standard, even the refunds for a relatively small number will sting. While United could possibly resell them at a reduced rate for Tuesday, finding enough people to shell out that much at such short notice is a pretty long shot. And more money flows right down the drain.
United's average matchday revenue is knocking on the £6m mark - and a final-day fixture like Sunday's would almost certainly have reached even higher. Eurosport go with a figure of £6.5m, which looks about right.
The tiny, tiny silver lining? Most fans would have done their bit to restock the club's coffers with programme sales, t-shirts, scarves and the like before kickoff - maybe pouring as much as £500,000 back into the club. It only covers a fraction of the losses, but it's something.
That still leaves a total of £6m in lost revenue alone,
Then come the extra costs - with an estimation of the money spent on things like staffing, electricity, gas and the like (and don't forget the policing!) hitting over £2m. It doesn't stop there though, with an estimated £400,000 heading to Bournemouth and their fans as compensation for those having to pay for a wasted journey. Train tickets aren't cheap these days, you know.
Finally, there's one last speculative cost. With United needing a 19-0 win to secure a Champions League spot and the FA Cup final fast approaching, Louis van Gaal could well name a significantly weakened team on Tuesday. If they lose the match, that's also £1,236,083 in prize money down the drain - the difference between fifth and sixth in the league.
Total loss to the club? Just a whisker shy of £10m. United are likely to have a pretty expensive legal team though - don't be surprised if the security firm responsible for the cock-up end up on the hook for the hefty, hefty bill.
