Slippy and Dangerous flooring at the stadium.

Did they actually do any snagging on the new stand?, to me it looks very unfinished and rushed and a pretty poor job in many respects internally.
I agree.
Take a closer look on the concourses, stairs, toilets, ;-) and in general, and it's more than obvious it was a rush job, with average to poor finishing in parts.
Can't believe City would accept that after what looks like a well finished job on the CFA and bridge.
It's now 5 months since the extended stand was opened, and the same poor finishes are still visible.
I slipped over at the entrance to the South Stand 3rd tier loos at the Southampton game. Really painful and had to be helped up. My elbow still hurts over 2 weeks later. I contacted the club and have been told that it complies to health & safety but they would continue to monitor it.
In my mind it's really dangerous. I'd slipped once before and that was without the water, but with the rain it is like an ice rink.
My slip occurred on the way to the exit on level 1 so it appears the problem exists in all areas of the ground. Whichever 'Health and safety' inspector signed that off needs to resign! It was obviously a red hot day in June with not a spot of water on it. You are right it actually feels a little slippery when dry but with liquid on it it becomes lethal. So with obvious signs of people falling all around them and accident reports and injuries piling up they will continue to 'Monitor it'....you couldn't make it up! If someone dies,which with the worst of winter still to come is a possibility,what will they say then? ''We were aware there was a problem but we were monitoring it.'' Shameful response!

I reported the South Stand roof to @mcfchelp on Saturday, it was pissing in, they have replied that it's been reported to the contractors and the maintenance dept.
Thanks mate they need to do something it's shocking-if I wasn't bald it could have messed my hair up big time!

To be honest the club deserves a slagging off in this respect, to construct a new stand and leave it internally looking as shabby and dangerous as it is 4 months into the season is strange to say the least.

It's the same in NSL2. Incredibly slippery when wet. Not seen anyone fall and hopefully I don't but to paint the floor in what appears to be high gloss seems odd though. There's certainly better suited products out there.
