Title: Adver News: Town to consider undersoil heating Post by: News Monkey on Monday, February 6, 2012, 07:00:16 Town to consider undersoil heating
<p> SWINDON Town plan to give ‘serious consideration’ to installing undersoil heating at the County Ground at some point in the future, chief executive Nick Watkins has confirmed. <img src="http://newsquestdigitalmedia.122.2o7.net/b/ss/newsquestrssprod/5/H.19.4/?gn=9513612.Town_to_consider_undersoil_heating&c4=9513612&c16=www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk&c17=Wiltshire" width="1" height="1" /></p> http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/9513612.Town_to_consider_undersoil_heating/r/?ref=rss Title: Re: Adver News: Town to consider undersoil heating Post by: Batch on Monday, February 6, 2012, 07:58:49 Plastic pitch.

Title: Re: Adver News: Town to consider undersoil heating Post by: Batch on Monday, February 6, 2012, 12:00:12 I think we've all played on the local 3G pitches.
They are 100 times better than the astro-turf of old. But the professional equivalent would have to be 100 times better again before you get to simulating proper grass. For reasons I can't properly articulate, I'd hate to see them used for league football.

To be fair, they relayed it pretty much straight after our play off final, and it's been fine since. All the top clubs play on a grass/plastic hybrid pitch. How do you think they stay in such good quality? Thats the way forward Title: Re: Adver News: Town to consider undersoil heating Post by: Abrahammer on Monday, February 6, 2012, 12:40:12 Not worth it.
Half the time games are called off not because of the pitch but the H&S bollocks about spectator safety. Title: Re: Adver News: Town to consider undersoil heating Post by: No Longer Posh Red on Monday, February 6, 2012, 12:41:04 Isn't the Madejski pitch one of these.
To be fair, on the basis that they play football & Rugby on it regularly it always seems in pretty good nick Title: Re: Adver News: Town to consider undersoil heating Post by: Batch on Monday, February 6, 2012, 18:01:22 All the top clubs play on a grass/plastic hybrid pitch. How do you think they stay in such good quality? Thats the way forward Not got a problem with hybrid pitches. But the way the article was phrased sounded like totally 100% plastic, not a hybrid of mostly soil/grass with synthetic fibres. The Desso GrassMaster (tm) is only 3% synthetic. I didn't realise Wembley was using this type of hybrid technology.

I imaging cost v benefit would lean more towards too costly
