Keel Crossing [opened 18.10.25] - compendium thread

I can guarantee with 100% certainty that this rumour will be doing the rounds of Jamesons, the borough etc .. as an absolute fact .

The first match day that the bridge is actually open, not one of the doylums who spouted thus shite will have the intelligence or self awareness to think 'you know what, I need to stop listening to and repeating these Facebook rumours "

Fuck me some people are proper dense aren't they

Lunatics on Echo Facebook page. They all believe Loony Lens shit.

Subsidence is something which isn’t anticipated or wanted. Consolidated can be part of the engineering design and is anticipated.

So it is sinking then.

It's amazing the stuff that people believe

It’s amazing the bullshit that mags post on here….

I can't believe that there will be unrestricted access to the bridge post match but closing it would be a huge PR failure.

Well I doubt they'll let you swing along the underside like a chimpanzee but I think we'll be okay otherwise.

Is this the bridge that on a matchday wont be open? As it can't handle the weight of so many people at once?

No

I think before being a huge PR failure, it would be a huge conceptual failure, design failure and structural engineering failure.

Why not?

Its not made with matchsticks.

 

[KLDs Sunglasses]

Hilarious some of the things people will believe online like.

What’s even the point in making that rumour up? What does anyone gain from it?

 

[Raker]

I’ve heard it’s a traffic light system

 

[Skylon]

I’ve heard it’s a traffic light system

I have heard they have the bouncers from the rabbit with those clicky count things they use, letting you on the bridge.

 

[ighty seven]

only open for cup games I heard!

 

[SPUFF]

Mr holmes plan in the ticket office is to make it so impossible to renew or buy tickets, crowds drop to 5k which can use the bridge safely.

 

[Donnybrook]

What are you basing that on? Why would you not be surprised that someone built a bridge that can't be used? Do you know of any other modern bridges in the world that are shut when it is busy?

It is 10m wide. Two and a half times as wide as the Millennium Bridge in London.
This is the same as the 'shocking if true' people who thought the Northern Spire was sinking because they didn't understand the concept of tides.

Is that why we are all being forced to learn how to moonwalk? To regulate the pace and ensure we have two feet on the ground at all times?

Not surprised sunderland council built a bridge that cant be used..hope that clears it up for you

 

[RestlessNatives]

On the plus side, all these experts who've deemed it unsafe won't be using the bridge so all the more space for the rest of us.
