Well fancy that. A forum for project managers and people in the construction industry come to a consensus that actually Mace and their project managers and workers are not to blame here.....
Earlier in the week I found an interesting thread about the stadium on a forum for architects/engineers and those who generally like the construction industry. There are a few familiar names over there so clearly I'm not the only SC member to wander in:

Some good stuff in there from people who (seemingly) know what they're talking about. There appears to be a consensus that in terms of the safety systems Mace have done exactly what they should have - catching the problems before the official tests were taking place and moving to resolve them. The post at the top of that link has particular information about the testing of the safety system. There are no shouts of "sabotage" or "incompetence" from the well-informed throughout the thread.

Actually SSC's thread has been really informative, and in the absence of any formal facts, piece together pretty credible narrative. It's just every now and then reality comes along and some of the conclusions they've come to, despite all their experience, have proved to be wrong.
And it sometimes turns out that the ITK from a friend's friend who actually works there is absolutely spot on. This doesn't go down well. Very amusing though.
