The brand spanking new grandstand at Epsom Downs racecourse was.
hardly in the vicinity is it? god you're pedantic!
You didn't say in the vicinity for goodness sake! 70mph wind gusts can cause structural damage. That is a fact. Some properties elsewhere in the country were damaged as a result of lower windspeed gusts than 70mph. But I'm quite sure there are underlying problems at Langtree Park that need to be resolved in order that the stadium can cope with greater gusts of wind than it can at present.
We won't know the degree of the damage until someone gets up there and looks at it but without being OTT I do think the damage is a worry.
If this wind keeps up, the stadium might do a 'wizard of oz'
