pete 2,499 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Great read John and actually incredible you had to write it. I am slightly split on the safety issue to be honest. If I was an attending supporter I would want to know if the roof is not safe. In that respect it may not be a bad thing for the board to produce papers to prove that it is safe. Personally I think the sick one writes anything he thinks could put a financial strain on our club so In that respect I would hope the board don't take the bait and sticks 2 fingers up at the deluded rangers stalkers. As for the Parkhead stand. What happens if only a third of the supporters turn up on a day with high winds?. When are the supports removed? If they are removed before the supporters are seated then surely the transition time from supported through Pillars to supported through people is a high risk moment. What would happen when there are no pillars and only a few hundred supporters left or just entered if a sudden high gust of wind suddenly occurs? If the supports are removed after a certain amount of fans are seated then who makes the decision when the safe point has been reached. Is it a trained structural engineer or Joe Soap the head steward. I hope the structural engineers that done the calculations weren't in Saville. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,409 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Forget the piggery roof, for the moment......apparently tonight's game @pittodrie has been abandoned. The Northern Lights have failed, and even God wouldn't trust an Aberdonian in the dark. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Premier at Celtic Park Date: 13/12/2016 KO: 19:45 Ref: Att: 55,076 I watched the game and in some of the shots, especially in the upper decks, I'd say they would be lucky to have half that total attendance given. Maybe the twitter reports are true. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably parts of the stands closed, because of a lack of fans attending more like. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Another thought is if we have to go to Pittodrie on a Friday night is that everyone carries a small torch. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
