At least the Saint Helens undesirables don't have to climb on to the roof to nick metal to weigh in, they just have to wait at the bottom, hand delivered.

Is this 'giving back to the community' ?

careful, make a post about the roof being nicked and it will get deleted

Built on the cheap. Very poor from saints, lets hope the fans inside will be safe when a game is eventually played there.

This hasn't happened at any other new grounds. Clearly something has gone wrong with the materials, the builders or the design.

But it will already have building control sign-off so not an issue here.

Your wrong, building control inspect a project at a series of stages during construction noticeable completion. A building must be inspected and signed offed prior to occupation and use, area's in which a sport's ground are asses on areStructures and Components Langtree would currently fail here.

Oh god, if they have to play another year at Widnes it will be the funniest thing since Barry Ward.

You can say that again.

I've also heard that they were using HSS hire equipment too...

It is worth noting as well an architect is required to sign off a building on completion to pass on their consent the building can be used in it's current condition, huge liability is put onto the architects.

Absolute rubbish.

Great quote from SaintsFan of their board.

After someone said the stadium should be able to cope with worse weather, it was only a tad windy, SaintsFan said....

'A tad windy? Where were you between 7.30am and 8.00am this morning? It was a fookin hurricane in St Helens with monsoon rain!'

In some crazy attempt to justify the damage. Why was tesco (also a brand new structure) totally fine? How about the rest of the buildings in St Helens?

Hahahahahaha. She is one of a kind that SaintsFan, try and justify anything which supports FIOS.

Imagine what other fans would come out with if Robin Park suffered storm damage? Hahaha.

Care to explain what practical completion is? I'll save you the trouble, Practical Completion Certificate transfers possession of the building to the
client, and the Making Good Defects Certificate trigger the release of the retention.

In standard contractual form, ‘When in the opinion of the Architect Practical Completion of the Works is achieved, he shall forthwith issue a Certificate to that effect and Practical Completion of the Works shall be deemed for the purposes of the Contract to have taken place on the day named in such Certificate’.

The stadium would require this certificate granted by the Architects involved for Saints to gain possession of the stadium.
