Claims of no safety risk were released this spring, while supports were installed after the 2014/15 season. Bernie van den Berg, councilmember examining the issue recently reported to the council that a permanent solution of the problem will be found by the end of 2015/16 Eerste Liga season.

As we informed you before, cracking concrete prefabs were first noticed in spring of 2014, but the municipality decided not to release information about it until some half year later when media got scent of the problem.
