Premiership rugby side Gloucester's Kingsholm Stadium "has suffered" around £500,000 ($654,000) worth of damage in the "recent wet weather," according to Lane & Iles of GLOUCESTERSHIRE LIVE. Heavy rain hit Gloucester on Sunday and Tuesday "which has closed part of the ground, damaging various parts of the ground." Gloucester CEO Stephen Vaughan confirmed that the club "sustained around £500,000 of damage and potentially more." Vaughn said, "There was a lot of roofing, internal ceilings have gone, a lot of destroyed hardware, PCs, laptops, chairs and tables. There's been flooding in the 1873 restaurant, in the kitchens, carpets have been destroyed. We found some leaking this morning in the Lion's Den." Gloucester's offices have been "closed with the staff decamping to Hartpury and elsewhere." Fire alarms and servers are not working at the ground currently, while the ground is "not able to hold any functions with the clean-up operation ongoing" (GLOUCESTERSHIRE LIVE, 7/26).
