    That was the first thing I noticed, the publicity about Spennymoor Town having one and the fact their match was called off on Saturday, due to a frozen pitch. Not a great advertisement for the product.

    They look like normal covers for rain and snow rather than frost covers that come attached to an air roller making it easier to put out and put away. Nearest to heated covers are them air domes which can help blow hot air onto the pitch but they aren't perfect as shown by Chelsea vs Liverpool in the WSL being abandonned yesterday despite using the air domes on the pitch

    Interestingly I found this earlier. Heat lamps in use , same type as City’s, failed to stop a game being called off.

    The weather is a lottery when all said and done without serious investment.

    I guess that their share of the NFL's advertising & TV revenues of over $10billion per season would come in handy!

    Of course, but then they are big contributors to the merchandising which all goes into the same shared pot.
    With a waiting list for STs of 140,000, they aren't going to short of support for awhile.

    And being a shareholder gets you absolutely no season ticket purchase advantages.

    Correct, also no dividends, no resale value, no vote, but you get the chance to buy "special" merchandise

    According to Talk Sport (debating the Chelsea v Liverpool match that was abandoned after six minutes - something that could have happened to us if the ref had listened to @Loyalbantam@Loyalbantam) it costs around £1 million to install and thousands a day to run.

    It seems to work well, as we very rarely get PL or Championship postponements so most of them must have it.

    Back in the day, Leicester had similar at Filbert Street. It was like a giant heated bouncy castle.

    The cost to the taxpayer to install at our Council House was just over £2M in 2013
