 Pitch inspection
Topic Originator: Dave_1885  
Date:   Sat 13 Jan 09:28

From Clubs official FB page:

⚠️Please note there will be a 10am pitch inspection this morning at KDM Group East End Park.

Due to what appears to be a failure in the undersoil heating system a large amount of water is currently sitting on the pitch.

Further update will be issued in due course.

Are the pipes plastic or metal? If metal, it`s likely the pipes have weakened from the sudden temperature. I suspect the heating is probably supposed to run at a low temp even when not needed.

Might be good news not to be playing today but less good if there`s a costly repair required.

Seems like every time we "use" this it breaks.

Seems clear the club doesn`t want the game ahead.

No more water can go in the undersoil heating as it`s a sealed system, so what`s leaked is all that can.
Betweens natural drainage and the water being brushed off the pitch, it should be fine.
Even asking for a few volunteers to help brush it off would do it.
Yes, the pitch may be heavy but no worse than most pitches at this time of year.

The flame still burns

Presumably all that water has come out in a single area though meaning there could be a small swamp in the middle of the pitch.

Seems bizarre they haven`t asked for volunteers they must be losing a bit having games scheduled for a Saturday being played midweek.

Unexpected repair bill and loss of revenue, not forgetting the £k’s food going to waste now.
The clowns that think this was planned need to wise up.

You seem a bit angry.

There`s no way of knowing if it will be costly or cost-effective in the long run.
