| Quote: Andy Gilder "I'm pretty sure that the pitch will at various points in those 30 years have been relaid during the summer, something that isn't feasible these days given the time it takes a new playing surface to properly bed in.
While having year-round use won't be helping to maintain the pitch to suggest it never needed any work doing to it before the 15-a-side game arrived might be a touch misleading.'"
Andy - I understand that it has never had a major surface relay since the u/s heating went in because it never needed one. |

| Quote: Inflatable_Armadillo "Once again, I am no expert on U/S heating systems but I understand that our old system was the second system ever to be installed in the UK (after Everton) and used wire as a direct heat conductor to heat the surrounding soil and thus keep the snow and ice of the pitch and it was either on or off!
Modern systems all now use water pipes under the pitch ... etc ... '"
So now we know ... cheers Mr Dillo. |

Good article from the man in the know.'"
Thats an excellent article, not only does it put the "ground share" argument to bed it also highlights this fact ...
Quote: RhinoNeil ""Out of all the winter sports, we are the only club that has fulfilled every fixture – Arsenal didn't, Liverpool didn't. We haven't got undersoil heating and their endless resources.

But the games called off at Arsenal and Liverpool had nothing to do with the state of their pitch but due to safety issues outside the ground.

You should read it very carefully. The headline claims Union not to blame. The article [isays[/i Booth doesn't blame the union side but the direct quotes from Booth that refer to the Union team are not quite so unequivocal
"They think it's all due to the rugby union, but it's not.
"It's a combination of the wettest November, followed by nine weeks of snow and frost – plus the effect of the machines we've had to drive on to the pitch to get these games on"
But, tellingly, he also says this..
"The issues are from the rugby union five metre line to the dead ball line" |

How will that change anything? They'll still play on the pitch, unless they go out of business as a result |

I suspect if they go down they might be playing elsewhere.

The article cites a report that stated that the turf was incapable of sustaining year round rugby. I'd say the report author(s) got that bit pretty much spot on. |

My bet is that they'll end up at Bramhope. |

I've re-quoted you leaving only the bit that is relevant. |
