There are so many people with zero knowledge of the construction industry who feel entitled to pontificate on how simple it should be to rectify an integrated, software-controlled, multi-purpose alarm system for a 62k stadium. Y'know, it's just like a portable fire extinguisher, or the smoke alarm in a takeaway. Nothing like automated lifts and escalators that stop when an alarm is triggered, automatically-operated smoke vents, exit doors that fly open, software that integrates input from smoke sensors, CO sensors and heat sensors, illuminated signage to indicate escape routes, notification of the Fire Brigade and other emergency services...

I reckon they're the same people who kept braying on in a paranoid manner about how it was all a misdirection, how the whole stadium build was months behind and the problems with the alarm system and its wiring couldn't possibly be causing so much delay. Plainly, it could and it has.

FFS. So much arrogance.

As someone who works with construction and commissioning on major O&G development projects, I can safely say I've never been on a project that has messed up a system on this sort of scale. Of course there are many O&G projects that do, luckily I have never worked on one yet.

I'm of course basing the following assessment based purely on the assumption that the officially disclosed information and rumored causes are true.

First of all, I find incredible they discovered the cabling issues at such a late stage in the build. Secondly, I find it even more incredible they are using prototype panel technology on a safety critical system and the fact that it simply doesn't work at all. They could not have done their due diligence on this, nor done the required factory acceptance tests.

Another ITK saying next season, I think we better get used to the idea if you haven't already!
To be honest, if it was just for 4 or 5 league games this season, we should just sack it off and get the whole thing completely spot on for a grand opening for next season.

Also, on a more Machiavellian level, taking us to the new stadium is a massive emotional thing for Poch, so having the grand opening next season could be a factor in seeing off United in the summer.

How can professionals fuck up so much? In some of the photos of it looks as I have done the wiring, and Im shit at those things.
