I always admired English football , because you play even it's damm cold outside , snowing everywhere and so on... Does Swindon Town F.C. have a under-soil heating ? If so , all ground is 'covered' by this or only a pitch ? Title: The winter is coming...

I don't believe Title: The winter is coming... Post by: STFC Village on Monday, December 11, 2006, 19:58:24 Only Premiership teams (and a few Championship sides) can afford it. To be honest, our winters are alot milder these days (thanks global warming), so comparatively few matches get postponed
