According to Humberside "#HullKR are still unable to train at their KCOMM Craven Park Stadium in the aftermath of a floodlight tower collapse last week. The ground remains closed and pre season training is taking place at the Hull University Sports Ground."
Assume this is incorrect as functions are still going ahead? Have HSE tests been completed?

We have an Xmas party next week at the ground but its in the RM stand. Was told by someone at the club today it was just those in the legends lounge which are cancelled.

Information about this incident seems remarkedly sketchy (I don't read HDM).
Which Flood light was it, did it fall onto building or the pitch?

I believe it was one of the floodlights at the scoreboard end came down, onto the pitch. The reason the ground is closed is that the HSE and the floodlight installers have to run through a number of tests on the remaining floodlights as well as re-install.

Not ideal by any stretch, but I am sure training can be adapted and other facilities found - Uni 3g they have trained there before aint they?

Ah, so it might have been one of the older pipe/scaffold style ones rather than the newer solid towers...?

No it was one of the new ones and it looks to have been 1 in the north end of the ground. There are some photos doing the rounds of if on the pitch.

It wasn’t at the North end it’s the one at the south west corner and blew directly onto the pitch.

For the whole stadium, offices and function rooms to be closed certainly implies a very serious state of affairs. Who is responsible for Health and Safety of the ground and facilities. Is it is or the council?

There are pictures of it on the daily mirror website in their RL section.

Hardly surprising they've shut the whole ground as the other lights will have been designed / installed to the same specs and calcs as this one, looks like someone in the design and construct company have got this majorly wrong.

Can you all make sure you fully charge your Mobile phones and have the Torch App ready for the next night game please....

Who ever got it wrong rovers should sue them they must have lost a lot of money with the ground closed

Someone has posted on the Total RL forum that the game has been switched to the KCOM?? Highly unlikely, with Hull putting out social media posts today about the amount of tickets sold

Lol, Yea mr Hullfan was it? Right bright spark he is. Even said Rovers were giving Jordan cox a trail???? Proper plank.

I can only think the flaws in the lights are very serious for the whole ground to be quarantined? Any HSE experts on here??

Only sharing from Hull KR TV.........Neil Hudgell says the 3 remaining floodlight pylons will be safe & operational for the first Super League game the fallen pylon will be replaced and operational by the end of February. Temporary lights will replace the fallen pylon whilst required.

The new scoreboard will probably not now be operational for the first game having slipped down the order of priorities.

Taking legal action for lost revenue is very much a last option the club has good relationships with all parties.

A plank of the highest order. Wouldn't have minded being away 1st game up tbf as it's been a fair while since we actually played well at home in the Derby. Saying that we haven't looked this strong in years so hopefully a win is due

As far as I'm aware, the floodlights are owned by Hull City Council and are rented by Hull KR so who called for the total evacuation I don't know but one would imagine HCC will be taking things up with the contractors. I was also told that the floodlight that came down contained Mercury and that this spread over the in-goal area. apparently, Mercury is dangerous stuff for health, how exactly, if this is true, the Mercury is being located, I don't know.

Mercury? I very much hope not it can be highly toxic and hazardous to health not to mention difficult to decontaminate. Would think this is exaggeration if community activities resume at CP next week.

They'll likely be mercury vapour bulbs in a floodlight. The quantity of mercury in each is tiny though i'm not sure what amount is deemed safe.

4/5 mg per bulb according to health and safety so no worries. Think the remaining stanchions was the concern.

It does seem to be dragging on though in November they said a couple of weeks and then definitely the first week in January now February

When was February mentioned?

Well we’re not playing Toronto there and they hope it’s ready for the first SL game which is in February

When was it decided we wouldn't be playing Toronto at Craven Park?

Nothing has come from the club apart from that they don't know whether it will be available for Toronto but it will be ready for the Derby.
