cognacbarnowl Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 37 minutes ago, HirstWhoScoredIt said: I think you will find that 1016kg and 2240 pounds are the same weight Therefore, my maths was only out by 16kg per tonne, 48kg in total. Therefore, I apologise, 3 tonnes equals 40 people and a child. It's getting quite technical this fred innit. So................... What happens if it is a lunchtime kickoff and 73% of the 40 and a half people had a big hearty breakfast but only 9% of that 73% have had a lucky halftime owlsman dump : AND, if 50% of the 40 and a half people have all had 6 pints on their way to the match but only effluated 20% of those 6 pints, ( of course, there is also the chance that one person may have sunk SIXTEEN pints, ), would that then increase the total aforementioned weight to un unsafe level in the eyes of SAG and the bridge have to be closed down in case of a fire hazard ?

Guest Grez Bez Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Maybe we should forget about the badge and get a new bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be having a zip wire instead as there was a charity zip wire in 2007 so it's traditional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyowl Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 2 hours ago, HirstWhoScoredIt said: The bit I didn't get is that there are 1,000 kg in a tonne. Therefore 3,000kg in a tonne. Average supporter weighs (optimistically because most of us are fatter) 75 kg. That means only 40 supporters can stand on our bridge at any one time But that is what I was told by a club official. That's not actually correct. There are just over 1,016 kilograms in a UK ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marconi Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 New crest for the South stand has been made from stainless steel from the recoil cylinders of the Iraqi Supergun. FACT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robster_owl Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Oh my... only on OT could a thread about a new Stand crest cause such infighting about... yep,... who is a welder and who isn't, or who understands weight / mass and who doesn't Can't DC just get one of these?

@owlstalk Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 3 hours ago, HirstWhoScoredIt said: The new badge has been made out of plated steel and is going above the main entrance at the end of the South Stand bridge. It should be up for Sunday. Apparently it looks extremely impressive, is made out of 'plated stainless steel' (not sure what that means), weighs 6 tonnes and cost a fortune. Technical issues with putting it up though as our South Stand bridge is only supposed to hold 3 tonnes which means we couldn't just drive it across the bridge. Sounds a bit like when Sheffield Airport was built 6 foot too short to handle proper flights Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
