‘Club running the stadium off a generator’

[Wild Card]

Northern Power grid went through a cable that's why, not the clubs fault.

Always just assumed it was a metaphor being used by media types. Didn't realise there was truth in it. Although there isn't much you can do about that.

I’ve seen this mentioned a few times. Surely this isn’t true? Sadly it wouldn’t come as a massive shock if it is.

Honestly what a bunch of utter charlatans we have running us.

Why not .

We are running the board rooM off 1 brain cell.

Take the piss as much as you like but face facts the OP is not far off . The owner is a prick and we are getting took for a ride

Just been past, the Generator has gone

Onwards and upwards

Is this still a problem? At the last home game I saw something set up in the car park with cables running into the stadium. Assumed it would have been fixed by now

Ever ready van just pulled up dropping off a box of torches, make of that what you will

Yeah been there for a few months now.

Any idea when it’s expected to be sorted? I’ve noticed the club still are using the full floodlights when they can avoid it

Is/ was it even a stadium problem or was it the cables coming into the sol?

I thought they’d knackered the cables coming into the stadium while building the new bridge. I just thought that would have been sorted by now

Mags probably keep stealing the copper mate

Depends how much work has to be done to repair the cable, may not have been a quick hole and rejoin, may have had to replace a whole stretch so expands the job massively. Not sure anyone has an idea where the fault was just been guesses so far

 

[Dan The Man]

It’s not our problem and we didn’t cause it. It’s completely out of the clubs hands

exact;y the owner getting pelters for this damages the credibility of good fans when they highlight the very real issues with how the club is run

 

[TikaTakaTico]

It doesn't really work as a metaphor tbf- surely running a huge diesel generator is more expensive than just being hooked up to the mains (I'm sure people on here are imagining a little Briggs and Stratton thing from a burger van.)

I was just shocked how long it’s taken to get fixed

Northern Power cut through the supply, that Speakman's fault?

 

[Northumberland Rocks]

I was involved in a job a while back where the contractor cut through Major electrical cables which weren’t where they should be on the map. Wasn’t cheap or quick to put right and obviously where there is blame.

I know a few of us have been quick to criticise the club, rightly in most cases recently, but shouldn’t on this occasion imho.

The cut took out an entire substation. Lead time on parts to fix it was apparently months, rather than weeks.

Think so. Probably realised it’s cheaper than getting the issue fixed and running off the mains. I’d suggest the club should decorate it but it’d just end up B&W
