Re: Turf tour
They fixed part of the lower North Stand in the close season too. It's just maintaence on stands that are nearly 30 years old
Re: Turf tour
Company that built the stands, Linpave went bust nearly 15 years ago. Not sure if there would have been any obligatory work for rectifying defective concrete if they had still been in business?
Re: Turf tour
Latent defect period is usually 6 years, or possibly 12 depending on the contract. The club may (but probably not) have some latent defects insurance. The stands are almost 30 years old though.

Re: Turf tour
Longside opened 28 years ago next month - I almost disbelieved the almost 30 years initially but we are not far away.
Re: Turf tour
I'd hazard a guess that there is more time gone now since then than between the CFS and the 'new' Longside opening.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 11:15 amLongside opened 28 years ago next month - I almost disbelieved the almost 30 years initially but we are not far away.

Re: Turf tour
It is - less than 27 years between cricket field stand opening (July 1969) and Longside (April 1996)

Re: Turf tour
When beehole end was extended at the back. I remember it was closed for a while due to mines in the area, so maybe these mines havnt gone away.
Re: Turf tour
I doubt very much it's RAAC concrete. Might be some movement that needs addressing, that said on the U21 thread someone said they were repairing the roof so the seats were removed to allow the access platform in
