Story highlights Man United match postponed in bomb scare

Fan traveled from Sierra Leone to see game

Supporters' trust paying for new flight, ticket

He will now watch FA Cup final on May 21

(CNN) Manchester United fans around the world dream of one day making the pilgrimage to Old Trafford.

Moses Kamara, an airport security officer from Sierra Leone who has supported the English football club for 25 years, came oh so close to experiencing that rite of passage.

He made it to a stadium he had only before seen on television -- but was turned away at the gates due to a bomb scare.

United's match against Bournemouth -- scheduled for the final day of the Premier League season -- was postponed due to a suspicious looking package mistakenly left on the grounds after an evacuation practice drill. Fans already inside the 75,000-seater left in an orderly manner before the device was detonated.

"I was heartbroken," Kamara told CNN Monday. "I was sad and cried, but being a security officer I understand the safety of the people -- it comes No. 1. It's the right thing they did yesterday."
