I imagine there will be a significant number of helmets at each game there. |

[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |

The Halliwell Jones Stadium - structurally secure since 2004.
I'd love to know what Jon Wilkin thinks of this - he's got an opinion on everything else.

Exactly. This should be taken very seriously. I have doubts over the game on the 20th.'"
Given how tight building regs are these days especially where the public are involved i can't see this stadium being signed off by building control in the near future, they will need to find out why this has happened more than once, to sign it off as complete and safe they will need to be 100% certain that it won't happen again and at the min that can't be guaranteed.
At a guess i'd say its a structural issue as the design has been changed since the original blueprints were given the ok, it will have different stress and weak points now. When stadiums are designed they will take into account swirling winds inside that put an upwards pressure on a roof, it certainly shouldn't be happening as these arn't the strongest winds that were gonna get.
It could be something as simple dodgy fastenings that arn't strong enough to keep the roof in place, dodgy workmanship or at worse the structural integrity of the stadium needs a rethink.'"

Touching, isn't it? Funny, his alter-ego 'Onedego' doesn't seem quite so sympathetic on the Saints forum. |

For the overall development it was Barr, who are experienced in stadium builds. However, they subcontracted the roof work to a company in Carlisle who usually construct roofs for Tesco (and in fact did the Tesco roof on the stadium site). However, according to their website they are inexperienced in the kind of work they did on the stadium. I guess that is showing! |

He needs to get a life, if he's not drooling about flags and Brigantes, or counting the gate at the DW, he's having a go at Saints and us. I'm amazed he finds the time to do his marketing degree. |

Was it really only after 4 mins  I seem to remember us winning something like 15 -4 when the match was abandoned. |

Link didn't work so paste it is
On 14th March, Paul Cullen is sent off at St Helens and given an eight match ban which forces him out of the Challenge Cup semi-final and subsequently the final at Wembley. The match at St Helens was a replay of the match on 1st March, which was abandoned after 4 minutes when part of the stand roof blew off at Knowsley Road.
