[Sweeney Todd]

Could it get its first workout on Saturday?

So no.

Hope they test the undersoil in conjunction with the pitch watering system before Saturday, just to make sure it doesn't blow a fuse or - heaven forbid! - fry the first team!

It will be interesting to see it in operation...whenever it is needed.

 

[ArcticBlue]

Doubt it. Unless of course the the excellent ground staff want to prepare a warm mud bath.

How exactly are you planning on "seeing it in operation"? It's not going to jump up and sing you a song. In fact it will be similar to sitting at home and watching your radiator warm up during the winter.

What do you expect to see

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Evaporation?

 

[Sweeney Todd]

What do you expect to see

I expect to see a playable pitch during a freeze.

I expect to see a playable pitch during a freeze.

Problems the days are not the pitches ...but areas around stadium...etc etc

They will probably water it still lol

 

[Uncle C]

I'm told we cant afford to put it on too often.

Corr, that's more exciting then watching paint dry.

With grass on top!

 

[Acker79]

They should, then those of us close enough to the pitch can lean over and warm our hands.

 

[Stat Brother]

Here's a fookin idiot thing to ask, but has always 'troubled' me:-

Can you feel it?

If you went to lay down on the pitch would it be all nice and toasty warm.

 

[Gazwag]

I would actually have expected it to have been used regularily for the past month or so to help the grass grow, with the light

 

[Bry Nylon]

I'm told we cant afford to put it on too often.

If my mum was in charge, she'd turn it right down and tell the players to put a jumper on.

 

[Weststander]

Temps forcasted well above freezing.

So no.

Yep. The hype that's being going on for a few months now about the coming cold winter, and now this weekend.
Rain for Brighton, sleet for North Downs, and snow for the Pennines = a normal UK winter, after the freakisk Dec/Jan 2009/2010 and Dec 2010.
