Undersoil Heating

How many games last season was this switched on for

 

[Racek]

How come?

 

[Titus]

Wouldn't this be better in the Ask the Club section?

 

[Gazwag]

I would suspect its switched on regularily to help the grass grow

It's not switched on for games as such, is it. It's switched on when the temperature is forecast to be below freezing for a prolonged period of time, to ensure the ground doesn't turn solid.

From what I remember when I did the stadium tour, they said the system was thermostatically controlled and came on automatically once the temp dropped to a certain point. So nobody actually has to switch it on manually, no idea how many times it actually came on though.

 

[8ace]

How come?

No reason, just curious.

Maybe, but if someone already knew the answer then I wouldn't need to trouble insider unnecessarily.

I thought that was what the lights were for?

So which is it

Probably not as many times as it will be this winter!

It's far more relevant than most of the questions that get asked on here. 'How do I get a train?', 'How do I get to a pub?', 'How do I wipe my arse?'.
