Under soil heating

[SockMonster]

With all the freezing weather can someone confirm we have undersoil heating? Sure we do have but can't remember for sure. Going to get its first test now!

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Yep.

 

[Garage_Doors]

We have a very sophisticated zonal under soil heating system.

Only the best for Uncle Tone.

All very well but at what level will they be clearing the areas around the Amex of snow?

You can just imagine Tony saying "Oh cock, i spend 90 million on a stadium and forget about the undersoil heating..bugger"

Yes - it was used for Newcastle.

Wasn't it only a late inclusion? Sure we weren't planning on having it to start with

from memory the undersoil heating WAS actually an additional inclusion after construction had started. It was originally supposed to be a future add-on but TB decided to include it in the phase one build.

Can you imagine if someone built a stadium without it these days? (Palace take note re corner cutting)....

You're right about it being an addition but I believe that originally it wasn't even considered a future add on.

The series of mild winters that we'd experienced may have lulled the planners into a false sense of security but the severe frosts of 2 years ago concentrated their minds!

These days under-soil heating is only part of the equation.

It doesn't matter if the pitch is playable. These days games are called off if the areas around the stadium are deemed to be slightly more slippery and dangerous than the no-win no-fee law firms waiting in the wings for someone to fall over.

More a case of "over soil heating". LOL made me laugh out loud.

 

[skipper734]

It also enabled the team to train today. The Uni pitches were rock hard allegedly.

Oh for the good old days.

A few tons of grit should do the trick.

But if it snows then game is likely to be called off bcos of surrounding area, apparently heating won't melt much snow either
