We have been told that the Amex does not have the same cladding as was on the Grenfell Tower.

I think one of our resident Palace GOONS made a flippant comment on here along those lines, but I've not seen anything 'official' that would suggest that.
A big difference is that the fire service can easily reach the upper levels of the stadium with their ladders and hoses. With Grenfell, they couldn't get anywhere near high enough.

Not sure how relevant the fact that ladders can reach the upper levels from the outside if they are burning with molten plastic dripping all over people. I would hope that the reason for it being ok is that the smoke and flame would not get into the stand and allow people to evacuate via the stairs and onto the pitch.

In the context of the two quotes, we used the same firm, but the cladding isn't the same. Martin Perry said it was safe, but we had it checked anyway. The link to the article makes it clear.

There is also a sprinkler system at the Amex too.

Fear not good people. With 4,000 die hard Albion fans in the West Upper, and with the vast majority able to down copious amounts of all sorts of beers we will have our own standing fire brigade. No need to use the bogs to get rid of that amount of liquid, just aim and let nature take it's course, flames gone, fire's out, a piece of piss really. The fire brigade will take a week to damp it all down though.
