Luton Ground (2 Viewers)

[procdoc]

Very mackemesque, though to be fair its only a small minority.

Most people have been complimentary about Luton. The rest is sour grapes

Most have indeed.

Good luck to them and I hope they enjoy the ride.

 

[ccfctommy]

They have to ground share to meet the rules. Is it 20k capacity?

Bournemouth's ground holds like 12k

 

[alexccfc99]

I’m no expert, but genuinely I would be amazed if this is ready any time soon - Not only have they got the building work to do but also the pitch as well

Can see them having to request another postponement and aim to have it ready after the International Break

 

[slowpoke]

You’ll be surprised they will be ready and working round clock to get it ready. Think their first home game is September 1st.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

They will be quite happy if the pitch is like one of the ones on Foleshill Park they will see it as a leveller.

I’m surprised no one has picked up on the fact Luton now have had to admit they cannot have undersoil heating which breaches PL rules

In other leagues being unable to meet the criteria would see your promotion blocked, up we go

No wonder we’ve made so many quality signings. Doug knows!

 

[Peter Billing Eyes]

Sounds like we need to get Compensation Lawyers 4U on the case.

Compromised reached, the house that back onto the away end have agreed to put their central heating on full during the winter

E-I, E-I, E-I-O

UP THE PREMIER LEAGUE UNDERSOIL HEATING REGULATIONS WE GO

I’d be amazed if they weren’t already aware.

 

[Sick Boy]

Luton granted special dispensation not to install undersoil heating

EXCLUSIVE BY MATT HUGHES: Premier League rule K.22 states that undersoil heating is required on all pitches, but the authorities have decided to make an exception for Luton.

Brilliant, only had to get to the second comment to find a comment about the EU.

That'll be about £5m at current prices

Very true

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Look it’s only for one season and they will be relegated.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Precedance has now been set!

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Am I right in thinking if we had gone up we had to do work on the floodlights?

May well have been done / is planned to be done as part of the remedial works by Frasers as they weren't actually up to the standard required to broadcast championship games. Like everything left to rot by the insects

Not forgetting the undersoil heating, does the CBS even have it anymore.

 

[MalcSB]

Why bother having any regulations if they are waived at the first test. The big boys will be moaning like hell if there games are postponed due to a frozen pitch.

 

[SBT]

The way this summer is going they may need the undersoil heating before the end of August

The same big boys who religiously adhere to FFP rules? Fuck 'em!!

Crystal Palace were given 3 years to sort out undersoil heating, Luton work is more for the media tv coverage

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Aren't Luton getting a new ground? I wonder if they said to the EFL the cost and time would be a waste as they're moving grounds but in the meantime they'll mitigate the issue with other measures?

 

[Domo]

is there something about ground shares in the prem? id have thought they would have elected to maybe rent a nearby stadium and do the work in the background? at least then its not rushed?

 

[MalcSB]

Would fitting under pitch heating take that much longer than laying a new pitch which has happened at the CBS? So it could and should have been done. Additional costs for sure, but that’s more than adequately compensated by the Prem income.

 

[Joy Division]

They have been given special dispensation as they are moving grounds soon, and even so, the work demanded from the premier league to add media facilities would have made it impossible to install undersoil heating this season anyway.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

If we'd gone up we would of had to work on the floodgates after letting the first one in.

Moving grounds soon! Next week, next season? Fitting undersoil heating would not have been impossible, however money saved to bring with them to the Championship next season.

Thinking about it, the concept of a level playing field rather than a heated one has a certain appeal to be included in regulations.

Well yes, practically impossible to install undersoil heating if half the pitch is being used for construction equipment.

 

[ceetee]

Rather shows the EPL /Sky priority. Media accommodation before playing conditions

Could finally get some decent football at Stadium MK.

Yeah great, thanks Grendel 2 did you look that up

My question was about the CBS and whether it still had undersoil heating.
