Anyone go
Great effort to get fences back up.
Read below
The 2009/2010 season starts on 31 October after a race to get the fence up in four days. The entire fence was dismantled for the NPC Rugby Games - the first time the whole fence has ever been completely dismantled since the stadium was built. This is a massive job as there are 72 posts which have to be lifted and placed, eight wire cables of 560 metres each (4.5 kilometres of cable) that require 111 sections to be tensioned and secured by 1,364 bolts. There are four sections of safety mesh measuring 2.24 kilometres and a further 2.8 kilometres of small mesh wire that require more than 2,000 cable ties to secure it. The last scheduled rugby game is on Sunday 25 October so we will have four days to get this massive job completed!
