From that picture it looks like we have a roof made of aluminium foil.

God that's awful. We're screwed if this problem can't be sorted.

This is a big worry. It obviously needs to be rectified before the widnes game, but the contractors wont be allowed up there whist the winds are still as bad. Also, how do incidents like this affect the ground safety certificate??

Looks like a specification issue to me - the structural engineer/designer has specified a roof lining that should be able to stand the wind loading, only to find in the cold hard light of day that it cant. The trouble is, the cantilevers that hold the roof structure will have been designed to carry the loading that the current materials provide. If you now have to go for something more substantial, it will be heavier and the steelwork may not be designed to carry it. Most dead loading will have a 60% factor of safety, which may be upped as its a roof that could at some stage be covered with snow. That may be sufficient to enable them to reinstall a new roof lining that is more substantial, but only the Structural Engineer would know that. I think Saints will have no option but to make a statement on this pretty soon.

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.

Feckin rediculous innit!!
Whoever did the roof need to be named and shamed,proper cowboy job second time Its happened!

Click on the link in my previous post.

exactly! I imagine Sir Mac has made a rather loud phone call to the developers/contractors/roofers

First home game back at Widnes?

Will the pitch be ready for then?
