You were right but how you knew I can only speculate as "Also discussed the roof, apparently the first roofgate scandal was caused by the damaged section not being fitted properly".

So if the first roofgate was poor workmanship, how did you know for sure the second one was different?

Not happy about the north stand not getting cladding as it was wet in the concourse when I was there and also the last half dozen rows near the corner were soaking.

I suppose, they are seeing if they can get away with it and if it gets very wet a lot of the time, they would no doubt re-visit it.

Most of the north stand concourse was dry though wasn't it? It was towards the corners that were wet. The NW corner was soaking. I've seen on Twitter that the club are going to announce on the cladding as soon as the roof has been fixed but there was reference to cladding of the West and East stands only. Presumably that will include the corners because that is where most of the rain and wind came into the stadium.

We will see on Friday perhaps what is needed I think as I've just seen the BBC weather forecast; strong winds from the west with icey rain.

I knew because I am in the know . I also waited for an trusted comment before i put the blame anywhere, I also knew about the first one which was admitted by the roofer when he inspected it, said someone has not tied them down good enough, he never tried to blame anyone, and it was a minor fault really.

As for the cladding, its a very costly job, thats why the north stand is not getting done, for now time, money, and the weather will dictate that one.

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Tue Jan 17, 2012 7:45 am  

I must admit, I'm pretty disappointed the cladding isn't getting done, it looked obvious to me from the open training night that it was something that needed doing.

The north west corner was totally drenched as was other parts of the stadium.

When buying my season ticket I was advised by a mate at saints not to sit in the first 5 rows of any stand as they will get very wet.

So the same as pretty much every other stadium on the planet then?
