World Cup Safety Fears Continued
So, Stiftung Warentest have sufficiently milked the PR from their earlier press release and have released the findings of their report into the World Cup Stadia.
To be honest it's all a bit of an anticlimax, the main concern being the distance between the lower tier seeting and the pitch at Central Stadium in Leipzig.
However, the main problem with the report is evacuation procedures in the stadiums evacuate fans outside the stadia, rather than on to the pitch in case of emergency.
In responce to the claims, Franz Beckenbauer the president of the Organising Committee said "Stiftung Warentest may know a lot about facial cream, olive oil and vacuum cleaners - and that is what they should stick to.".
Move along, nothing to see here...
