Amex under soil heating

[The Birdman]

Will we see the Amex heating in use next week? Get some return on the investment . I also wonder what the cost to run it is?

Is it not always in use?

You may be thinking of the sun lamps above the pitch.

Used to be frustrating at Withdean when the pitch was playable and the steps to the stands were deemed too dangerous so the game got called off anyway. Glad these days are behind us.

I wouldn't be so sure, you know what southern rail are like, if we were playing at home today they'd probably close falmer station

I'm fairly sure we had a couple of frosty days last season.

Good point. One poor devil who posts on here posted on Facebook was stuck in a broken down train with no loos in the snow for about four hours between Falmer and Lewes last night.

I don't think it needs to be physically switched on - is it not 'intelligent' ie runs on a thermostat and kicks in when the temperature drops below a certain level?

That's my understanding too, and if its forecast for heavy rain it gets turned on

And if the training ground is frozen then the players train on the pitch

I think it also detects which parts if the pitch are frozen and only heats them parts specifically?

The exact opposite of the 'unintelligent' sprinkler system then...

8m quid per annum

After so many years of not having this available on our pitches now we have it there are still people moaning about it!!
