No doubt silly question, no doubt I'll get slaughtered and probably been asked... does Amex/Falmer have undersoil heating?

Oh dear shall I rephrase? WILL it have undersoil heating, I look at the webcam every day and they are laying the pitch foundations and I have seen no evidence of heating... I knew I'd get smartarse answers... cheers guys, hence I just read and don't post.

Yes it will. It was a much talked about over the past few years on here, and originally it wasn't going to, but the premiershit changed the rules thats clubs must have undersoil heating, so they decided to put it in now, rather than at a later date.

I might be imagining this but I think Martin Perry said that it would be selective undersoil heating as well, so that zones could be protected rather than the whole pitch if necessary.

Will it not also have artificial grass mixed in with the real thing to make it more hard wearing and weather resistant?

Yes it is a mix, not sure how much is fake and how much is real though.

Ok so forgive me for not understanding something... when will they actually apply this undersoil heating? Cos they haven't yet.

Really? Why is Wembley forever being relaid then?

Because it's shit, and turfed.

Ours will be sown so the roots take much better.

I'm not sure, I thought NatterJack said it was imminent.
