I was blown away by the reports of this. I had heard that the original design had a pitched roof but the neighbors asked for a flat roof so the building would have less of a visual impact. Whether this is completely true or not I dont know.

Reminds me of the Polish exhibition hall roof collapse a few years back. That didnt turn out very well at all.

I get a bit worried when I have a metre or so of snow on my roof, the main problem is the wife makes me go up to clear it off. I have an arched roof but the snow doesn't slide off.

^ 1m? Bloody hell.

Perhaps the new stadium could be built in the shape of a giant Scandanavian A-frame house

Okay so it goes like this: (I think)
There was an old orginial stand (no idea how old) that basically went from one 22 to the other. Along came the idea of building a new stand (no idea when) next to that stand to the end of the ground. Just over 10 years ago they redeveloped the park and they have just used the orginial foundations, therefore has the same footprint.
A lot of Scottish blood down there.
