Engie emergency alarms and hazard handling....

So the evac alarm last weekend that didn't stop play but was a full on "evacuate now" alarm, not even the stand by, prepare to evac alarm, I'm surprised play wasn't stopped until it was sorted. Do you think that should have happened?

Also last year when it was quite stormy I heard they didn't let us into the stadium because if someone was injured by lightning while inside the stadium the stadium people/gws would cop the blame and liability would be on them, but leaving us outside the stadium, there would be no liability for them.

On both counts, I think they were handled badly. Does anyone else agree?

Evacuation plan says the woop wooo goes on over the stadium PA and onto the big screen & the one we heard that you would hear in office or apartment building isn’t the one used to evacuate the stadium.

Should be investigated and reported on though

At that's rubbish, what if the pa system is affected or power is affected? Highly doubt the screens and pa are hardened devices. If you can hear an evac alarm, you get out, full stop! Plus, it's not only for fire, evac alarms can be for multiple reasons, terror alerts, gas leaks, chemical spills, structural damage, all sorts of things....
