WIN Stadium in Strife

[Gil]

Correct. Considering it faces directly south, you would expect it to be specified to withstand a "worst case scenario" of hurricane strength wind.

Regardless, if the basic engineering design was poor, that would not necessarily matter, a bit like building a castle on quicksand

Thought so....



Beach????.... we are talking about the Grandstand arent we?

Thats what I thought

Correct. Win stadium is directly adjacent to a south facing beach. The stand in question looks directly out to sea

Therefor it faces East.

The damaging winds came from the Westerly direction

I disagree.

How does the setting sun create a level shadow of the new grandstand on the eastern hill if the sun sets in the west and the stand faces south?

This map is orientated perfectly north south.

South and North beach faces East and so dose most of the east coast.

Swell direction has nothing to do with the Westerly winds which damaged a East facing stand on a southern beach.

Man this is confusing

Agreed. And as per the image Fitz posted, I will stand corrected in the western stand does not stand facing directly south. Just to confuse things further

The Stand has a more Eastily facing angle than the coast does. The stand faces East, no doubt.

Man this is confusing

Agreed

Not confusing at all, Fitz made it simple. The stand faces about 110 Degrees, 90 is E.

Agreed. And as per the image Fitz posted, I will stand corrected in the western stand does not stand facing directly south. Just to confuse things further

On a further note, my missus highlighted how the following comment posted was the one with the most common sense, and she doesn't follow footy at all:

just like the dragons cracks under pressure

I thought all Rugby League grounds had to run North/South or close enough to it.
