Why no undersoil heating?

I heard it was because there was a tunnel underneath the pitch that led to the Winter Gardens .

Did we not put in under soil heating under the Stains as it was mandatory to be a Premier club?

We were allowed one season’s grace. Had we stayed up we would have had to have it. I recall over the Christmas period we lost a few games to the weather when we were in good form. Small margins but could have made a difference.

There is meant to be a tunnel from the tower to Raikes Parade I have been told.

With a diversion off to the Tower.

This thread is a good example of the residual small club mentality that still lingers at our club created by the Oystons.

Because it's bloody expensive to run you'd be lucky to get away with 2-3k a day maybe more with the current energy costs.
And here's the kicker you can't switch it off, when the temperature goes below a certain degree even though you might not have a game for a fortnight it switches on.
Ten day cold snap in December here's a whopping great energy bill.

Why would you have an automatic system without a manual override, to either turn it on or permanently off, that takes some believing. These systems are warm water circulating through a labyrinth of pipes. Now all outdoor systems that could freeze have glycol antifreeze added, so it shouldn't be a problem with the temperatures we generally get around here, even if switched off. We haven't got it for one reason & it begins with O.

There's a tunnel from my back garden to the ground, as it passes through part of the pitch it now makes sense why I have to duck just before the end. It's that bloody gas pipe.
