Seems the smaller grounds often don't have it. appears only 4 teams in our league have it! Us, Birmingham, Reading and Huddersfield 11 teams in the Championship Sunderland, Hillsborough, Elland Rd, Riverside, Pride Park, Coventry, Ewood, Stoke, Norwich, Loftus road and Swansea Premiership 14 have undersoil. West ham (council stadium), St james Park, Brighton, Wolves, Selhurst park, and Bournemouth all don't have undersoil heating. I'm procrastinating here as I really don't want to plan my next batch of lessons

January 7, 20251 yr I hope @only1swanny teaches the importance of using reliable sources to his students 😁

January 7, 20251 yr Im not sure wigans actually works charlton have the pipework but didnt have the water supply as above, its very expensive
January 8, 20251 yr Didn't ours fail once when Allardyce was manager? Suspiciously coinciding with a bad injury list.

January 8, 20251 yr We, together with a couple of others had questions asked of us by the league/fa about it.

Cardiff in the cup was due to snow / ice on the surrounding area. I got paid to put inserts in the programmes with the updated league tables. the replay they brought all their mentalists up and a load got lifted for going on the pitch if I remember right
January 8, 20251 yr Spoke to someone at work who is a Rotherham season ticket holder. The pitch is Australian grass that is grown in Florida. The pitch is never in a bad state so won’t be the pitch that gets the game called off. will be surrounding areas that aren’t really thawing. also, point to note, the train station was shut on Monday due to flooding - at worst get off at meadow hall and taxi it.

This will be off as looking at the weather forecast the pitch will be frozen unless they have a cover for it. It seems they have. https://www.themillers.co.uk/news/2025/january/08/read---millers-enlist-services-of-pitch-protection-experts-ss-stadia-ahead-of-saturday-s-hosting-of-bolton/ Edited January 8, 20251 yr by freds dad
January 8, 20251 yr Should probably be on then. Just a note of caution in the article about it not offering a guarantee. Hopefully they will be able to make a decision in plenty of time.
January 8, 20251 yr Not to bothered if it’s off might suit us we’re playing sat and midweek all month on the back of 4 games in 9 days over Xmas and then Only 4 games in the whole of feb to play

But a week since Exeter. Squad rotation in EFL cup, should be more than fine. And if this much warranted run ever materialises, now has to be the time on the back of a win with confidence. Much better for fans too on a Saturday after already being rearranged twice. Get it played. Edited January 8, 20251 yr by desperado
