The winter is coming...

[Bartek]

Hey guys !
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 ?

[SwindonTownFC]

yeah we have under-soil heating and a roof on our stadium that covers the pitch like ajax when it rains and snows

I don't believe

[STFC Village]

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

I could believe in under-soil heating under the pitch , but about the roof I know he was a lier

 We haven't had a lengthy cold spell for probably 20 years.....the last one being 85/85 season when between Jan and March we didn't play a single home league game,  6 away games on the spin and won the lot  

  In classic STFC stylee....one of the directors who was also a farmer...(name escapes me for now).....was charging the club some thousands of pounds for straw to be laid on the pitch to try and keep the frost out.

didn't they put something under the pitch a few years back to try and stop games being called off?

[Simon Pieman]

I seem to remember Bayern Munich being one of the first teams to have under soil heating at a training ground. Fuck knows where I found that out and if it is true.

 Not from frost...drainage...yes sort of.
