Hopefully the roofs weakness can be solved through additional bracing.
There are always engineering solutions to these types of issues. The problem with these solutions is that they can add significant additional costs into the equation.

Whilst I share your concern, I'm feel I'm a little more positve about the solution.
The roof, along with other aspects of the stadium, will come with a guarentee. I have an industrial unit in Knowsley with which the roof was given a 10 year guarentee when it was built.
Whilst the roof will have been put on by the subcontractor (from cumbria?), it will be Langtree's responsibility to fix it and I don't expect them to take to kindly to shoddy work on what is a marquee project for them that has their name plastered all over it.
A fly in the ointment, but we'll get it resolved at no extra cost, I'm sure.
