    I guess if it's always been assumed there is concrete underneath their assessment is based on that and all they were asking for was formally documenting this is the case. Given that's not the case the CEO of 4 weeks isn't prepared to put his name to it until the full risk assessment is completed.
    Seems strange from the council's point of view. Especially since they were notified 24 hours before it was announced so presumably plenty of time for any clarifications.

    I mean, I'm no expert in that realm myself... but you'd think at the point something falls down, you might just have some slight wondering as to why it fell down and if there may be a similar issue with any of the rest of the structure of wall. Maybe thats being unfair, but its a very simple notion to come to.

    This has to be one of the most surreal spells we've had for a good few years.

    What makes you so sure that this latest story is true? Remember that the council still state that a structural inspection was done which found no structural issues. That completely contradicts the claim in this thread that the council felt the wall was unsafe so ordered an inspection.

    I dunno. Maybe the club had a builder look at it but now they need a formal structural engineer sign off?

    But it still isn't cordoned off and innocent members of the public could be killed. Walls don't know which way is safe to fall

    Also if they're WAITING on a formal structural engineer to inspect and sign off the stand then that contradicts their claim that 'following extensive structural inspections' the stand is closed. Either the extensive structural inspections have taken place or they haven't.

    The person that took the decision to close the stand wasn't at the club when the wall fell down.

    No but he's got eyes and it's clear that part of the wall has been repaired. If he didn't bother to look around the ground in his first month then he's inept.

    Why would a CEO go around inspecting walls? No CEO I've ever worked under has ever done that.

    He wouldn't inspect them but he'd surely see that it's clearly been repaired. I know I noticed it just from driving past. If I was the CEO of a company and I noticed a big section of wall had recently been repaired I think I'd probably ask what that's all about. At work I asked all the time when I first started 'so why is that like that?' etc in relation to the building.

    I didn't say the council claimed it was unsafe. I said they had a recommendation for it to be formally inspected by a structural engineer and and have it's safety documented.

    I think what we need is a timeline of events, signed off by all parties.
