O/T:- Forest Crying (Again)

[caj85]

The thing is Mariankis hasn't got Forests best interest in mind, he will do whatever he can to up the sale price he's touting over in the Middle East.

I doubt that the decision was made on the basis of Forest attendances. Its rationale seems much wider than that though obviously losing a revenue stream will be disappointing.



We haven't installed undersoil heating, we've just put pipes in so that it can all be connected to a heating system if and when called upon rather than have to do extensive and expensive excavations again. They've obviously decided that the cost/risk of it not being needed is less than the cost/risk of it possibly being needed. A bit like an insurance policy really where you pay for it hoping you won't need to use it but grateful for it if you do. From my understanding the heating system itself (boiler etc) is the really expensive component on top of the excavation works (which we were doing anyway).

They actually are putting the whole system in, they just won't use it unless there is a prolonged period of subzero temperatures that could lead to a bunch of games getting called off. Would still expect the odd game to be called off for a frozen pitch but we won't lose a couple of weeks worth of games

That is not how I read the statement:

https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news...update-080424/

"We’ll also be taking the opportunity to install an undersoil heating system – although it’s important to note that, due to the costs involved, this won’t be connected to a boiler until such time we encounter consistently lengthy cold spells, where a number of matches are put at risk."

I'm fairly sure that the boiler costs were stated as being high in one of the on-line interviews or fans forum. If there is a boiler in place then surely it would not make sense to not connect it up. They don't have to turn it on.

Edit: Sorry irishpete, our posts crossed over. But that is how I recalled it, thanks for the confirmation.

They're installing everything except the boiler

Don't think they are installing boiler. Palmer said if needed it would take nearly 3 months to fit & that is the most costly part of it.

So I don't read that, installing a boiler at short notice within 2 weeks isn't going to happen, read the statement, it will only be connected if there is a prolonged period of cold weather, the boiler will be there, it just won't be plugged and plumbed in

I'm sorry but I'm sure JP explained this at the fans' forum too. No boiler, just the plumbing.

So they expect to be able to get a boiler in the middle of winter during a long cold snap? Why not just say we're putting in the prerequisite infrastructure for under soil heating.

If you listen again to the fans' forum from about 40 minutes in it's all explained there.

That's not what was said and it's starting to sound as if you are determined to dig a deeper hole than the one they've created at Meadow Lane in order to support your erroneous stance.
