We should invest in undersoil heating anyway, I know people would say it would only be worth it for the odd one or two games a season but you could pay for it by passing the costs onto the fans through increased ticket prices.

There are enough mugs on this forum who watched Wire through years of dross in an ageing stadium, so I would think demand was fairly inelastic for a good chunk of our support. If we have got the Challenge Cup winners playing in a state of the art stadium with undersoil heating then people should pay for it especially as it would allow us to attract top players from the NRL who would like the idea of their feet being warm when they were playing.

Has anybody done any market research at the levels of price setting at rugby union and wendyball, because everybody knows RL is a far superior product, and yet people pay £30 a ticket to go and watch that sort of rubbish. It's time to stop ticket prices in RL being artificially low and start getting some proper investment into the game.

Sometimes Sally I find your posts midly amusing but your latest attempt at sarcasm is just pure boring

Hahaha

As another who can't make this one I'd also be made up with a postponement. Bring on the freeze!

Too expensive. RL clubs just can't afford it.

To those wanting undersoil heating (theres not many of you because there is actually some common sense around) how many league games have we cancelled due to a frozen pitch?

For the sake of argument I will let you include all stadiums, all league fixtures and all friendlies. Even with all that, in terms of lost revenue from frost I still dont reckon you would be anywhere near the cost of installing undersoil heating.

LSV has undersoil heating does it not? Shame the surrounding roads and footpaths didnt because that was the only thing that stopped the game.

At this time of the year the ground tends to defrost in the day and refreeze if there are clear skies at night, the ground wont freeze with players running all over it

Plus usually we usually just get rain in february, this winter has been very cold by my standards

i'm sure the Leigh game went ahead as i am sure that i went to it.

One of the reasons why we should have had a 12 team Superleague and started the season a few weeks later.

The problem then Rogues, is who do we get rid of and do we return to promotion and relegation? Could finish up a bit like Turkeys voting for Christmas.
