| Quote: tvoc "Not according to the CEO"The plan is to do it as part of the South Stand development," added Hetherington. "When that is being carried out, the pitch will become a building site anyway. We are committed to redeveloping the South Stand in 2010 and the pitch will come on the back of that."[/i'" Actually, to be fair to Andy tvoc, it would be possible to build a new South Stand from the back BUT it would impractical and more importantly add time and cost. You can get away with a much smaller crane if erecting from the front rather than the rear and the heavy pre-cast terrace units would be difficult to lift and put in to position 'over the top'. This would reduce the number of possible crane lifts per-day reasonably significantly and therefore add time to the programme, which equals more cost. I think they would have come to the conclusion to replace the pitch (or possibly it was always planned) at the same time as the new stand anyway, but given the stick they are getting about the pitch, they have clearly give it some more thought and even if it was always planned, it was a good idea to announce it now rather than later and then continue to get criticised for it. Quote: tvoc "Just waiting for the announcement of the undersoil heating going in and Leeds not having a home game until Easter in 2011 for the feeling to be complete.'" Well I would think they would put in a new undersoil heating system but I must be honest, I don't know a great deal about grass (other than it is dormant in cold weather and does not like being covered up) and these new super-grasses (no pun intended), so if this new 3G grass they are looking (I thought 3G was an international mobile telecommunications standard!) can live with frost and/or being covered up for weeks at a time, they might not need it? As for us not playing at home for the first couple of months of the season, it will not be long until my smugness is complete!

Quote: Inflatable_Armadillo " ... a new undersoil heating system ... '" Quick question Given that the old undersoil heating system was disconnected because it would have been dangerous to spike the pitch ... are modern undersoil systems fork-resistant?
