Mervmeister 18 Posted August 10, 2019 Soooo glad that this didn't happen during a match.

Aggy 755 Posted August 10, 2019 You wouldn’t feel too comfortable sitting under a roof elsewhere in the stadium later in the season. Extremely fortunate it wasn’t during a game but you have to wonder how it happened - a roof collapsing due to wind is a bit concerning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orly 277 Posted August 11, 2019 They've been having some crazy weather of late in Holland, which might mitigate the blame a little, but this is why I would never ever be a structural engineer for all the tea in china - too much liability working with your hands tied behind budgetary constraints.

shefcanary 2,401 Posted August 11, 2019 Could the OP be alluding to the real reason behind the delay and expense in the expansion of the City Stand - prevailing winds mean it it a nightmare for engineers to design and build a stand to avoid such a situation within the money available?
