Look more like someones cut corners with the fastenings, rather than the building materials themselves. Perhaps that section was done on a Friday afternoon.

Get it sorted ASAP Saints.

Some explicit shots on RedVee show the damage from inside the stadium. A big hole above the control room with fibreglass all over the home end of the pitch and water damage inside the control room area. It's shocking. I just can't imagine us being in a position to hold any kind of match there at this rate because clearly the contents of the roof would have cascaded down on to the home end family stand plus the West Stand. It's a damn shame.

Will the pitch be ready for then?

Pitch is getting laid very soon i think if not already. I think from start to finish it takes 12 weeks. Think its been around that. Sorry to say guys, although the wind and gales today are very strong, that should not happen to the stadium. Hope you can sort it.

Does anyone remember an episode of Rogue Traders where they had a roofer on the from St Helens called Bob ? His work was appalling and thats being kind, when he was confronted about his shoddy roofing it was f-ing this and f-ing that, when Matt Allwright confronted him and called him a rogue Bob wern't impressed, he showed him his fist and said your gonna get this if you call me a f-king rogue trader again.

If the guy that did your roof turned up in a clapped out Astra with the exhaust blowing then your better starting again from scratch.

Unbelievable really. Am I being overly sceptical by worrying that the club has gone for a mega cheap design and is going to pay for that now?

The winds today aren't exceptional, they will happen a good few times a year. If the stadium cannot handle that level of wind it is going to be an expensive and painful few years for someone.
Does anyone know if the club or its insurers have to cover these losses or the construction company? Or is it the design element that is deficient?
